Privacy Policy

The Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to all Bombo users, including Riders and Drivers (including Driver applicants), and to all Bombo Platforms and services, including our applications, websites, technology, facilities, and other services (collectively, the “Bombo Platform”). This policy applies only to personal information, not to aggregate information or information that does not identify you. Certain elements of the Bombo Platform may operate under separate or additional terms or practices different from or in addition to those described in this policy; in those cases, you will be provided separate notice and information relevant to your use of those parts of the Bombo Platform.

The Information We Collect

When you use the Bombo Platform, we collect the information you provide, usage information, and information about your device. We also collect information about you from other sources like service providers, and optional programs in which you participate, which we may combine with other information we have about you. Here are the types of information we collect about you:

A. Information You Provide to Us

Account Registration. When you create an account with Bombo, we collect the information you provide us, such as your name, email address, phone number, birth date, profile photo, and payment information. You may choose to share additional info with us for your Rider profile, like saved addresses (e.g., home or work), and set up other preferences (such as your preferred pronouns). We may ask that you provide additional information related to the identity of your account, such as documents related to identification (e.g., driver’s license), a profile picture, or “selfie” imagery. If you choose to engage in additional offerings on the Bombo Platform (e.g., services for your vehicle or linking to other accounts like travel rewards), you may provide us additional information relevant to those offerings.

Driver Information. If you apply to be a Driver, we will collect the information you provide in your application, including your name, email address, phone number, birth date, profile photo, physical address, government identification number (such as social security number), driver’s license information, vehicle information, and car insurance information. We collect the payment information you provide us, including your bank routing numbers and tax information. Depending on where you want to drive, we may also ask for additional business license or permit information or other information to manage driving and programs relevant to that location. We may need additional information from you at some point after you become a Driver, including information to confirm your identity (like “selfie” imagery).

Ratings and Feedback. When you rate and provide feedback about the Bombo Platform (including about Riders or Drivers), we collect all of the information you provide in your feedback.

Communications. When you contact us or we contact you, including through surveys or research projects, we collect any information that you provide, including the contents of the messages or attachments you send us.

B. Information We Collect When You Use the Bombo Platform

Location Information. Great rides start with an easy and accurate pickup. The Bombo Platform collects location information (including GPS and WiFi data, IP address, and Bluetooth data) differently depending on your Bombo app settings and device permissions as well as whether you are using the platform as a Rider or Driver:

• Riders: We collect your device’s precise location when you open and use the Bombo app, including while the app is running in the background from the time you request a ride until it ends. Bombo also tracks the precise location of scooters and e-bikes at all times.

• Drivers: We collect your device’s precise location when you open and use the app, including while the app is running in the background. We also collect precise location for a limited time after you exit driver mode in order to detect ride incidents and continue collecting it until a reported or detected incident is no longer active. If you choose to install a Bombo Platform device in or on your vehicle (e.g., a Bombo dashboard device or tablet), that device may collect precise location information when turned on. 

Usage Information. We collect information about your use of the Bombo Platform, including ride information like the date, time, destination, distance, route, payment, and whether you used a promotional or referral code. Our e-bikes and scooters may collect mobile sensor data, such as speed, direction, height, acceleration, deceleration, and other technical data. We also collect information about your interactions with the Bombo Platform like our apps and websites, including the pages and content you view and the dates and times of your use.

Device Information. We collect information about the devices you use to access the Bombo Platform, including device model, IP address, type of browser, version of operating system, identity of carrier and manufacturer, radio type (such as 4G), preferences and settings (such as preferred language), application installations, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, and push notification tokens. If you are a Driver, we also collect mobile sensor data from your device (such as speed, direction, height, acceleration, deceleration, and other technical data). If you have installed a Bombo Platform device in your vehicle (e.g., a Bombo dashboard device or tablet), that device may similarly collect sensor data and other information like location, as described when you choose and set up such devices.

Communications Between Riders and Drivers. We work with a third party to facilitate phone calls and text messages between Riders and Drivers without sharing either party’s actual phone number with the other. But while we use a third party to provide the communication service, we collect information about these communications and Bombo Platform chat communications, including the participants’ phone numbers, the date and time, and the contents of SMS and chat messages. For security purposes, we may also monitor or record the contents of phone calls made through the Bombo Platform, but we will always let you know we are about to do so before the call begins.

Address Book Contacts. You may set your device permissions to grant Bombo access to your contact lists and direct Bombo to access your contact list, for example to help you refer friends to Bombo. If you choose to do this, we will access the names and contact information of the people in your address book.

Calendar Information. You may set your device permissions or otherwise grant Bombo access to your chosen calendar and direct Bombo to access calendar information, for example to help you get alerts to order a ride for your upcoming trip. If you choose to do this, we will access and store information available in your calendar to use in providing you these optional features. Bombo will adhere to the applicable calendar provider policies, including Google’s API Services User Data Policy, which impose certain limitations on the use of data collected from user’s calendar accounts. You may remove Bombo’s access to your accounts at any time either in-app or through your account provider settings.

Cookies, Analytics, and Third-Party Technologies. We collect information through the use of “cookies”, tracking pixels, data analytics tools like Google Analytics, SDKs, and other third-party technologies to understand how you navigate through the Bombo Platform and interact with advertisements, to make your Bombo experience safer, to learn what content is popular, to improve your site experience, to serve you better ads on other sites, and to save your preferences. Cookies are small text files that web servers place on your device; they are designed to store basic information and to help websites and apps recognize your browser. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be accessed every time you use the Bombo Platform.

Inferences. We may infer certain information from your interactions with the Bombo Platform and other personal information available to us. For example, if you frequently ride to or from airports, we may infer you are a frequent traveler. We may also draw inferences from the information you provide to us, such as inferring your gender based on your first name.

C. Information We Collect From Other Sources

Service Providers and Other Parties. Service providers and other parties provide us with information needed for core aspects of the Bombo Platform, as well as for additional services, programs, loyalty benefits, and promotions that can enhance your Bombo experience. These service providers and other parties include background check providers, insurance partners, financial service providers, marketing providers, and other businesses. We obtain the following information about you from these parties:

• Information about you provided by specific services, such as vehicle, demographic, and other information that helps us provide services or to personalize our marketing.

Enterprise and Delivery Programs. If you use Bombo through your employer or other organization that participates in one of our Bombo Business enterprise programs, we will collect information about you from those parties, such as your name and contact information. If an organization has utilized Bombo to fulfill a delivery to you, we may receive information like your name and delivery address from the organization in order to fulfill the delivery.

Concierge Service. Sometimes another business or entity may order you a Bombo ride. If an organization has ordered a ride for you using our Concierge service, they will provide us your contact information and the pickup and drop-off location of your ride.

Other Users and Sources. Other users or public or third-party sources such as law enforcement, insurers, media, or pedestrians may provide us information about you, for example as part of an investigation into an incident or to provide you support.

How We Disclose Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for money -- no one can buy the personal information we collect from and about you and we do not act as a data broker. Our top priority is protecting the confidentiality and privacy of our customers' personal information, and we ensure it is securely safeguarded without sharing it with any third parties.

A. Sharing Between Bombo Users

Riders and Drivers.

Rider information shared with Driver: As part of surfacing the ride request and enabling the ride, we share with the Driver the Rider’s pickup and destination, location, name, profile photo, rating, Rider statistics (like approximate number of rides and years as a Rider), and information the Rider includes in their Rider profile (like preferred pronouns) as well as any additional stops the Rider inputs into the Bombo app. Once the ride is finished, we also eventually share the Rider’s rating and feedback with the Driver. (We remove the Rider’s identity associated with ratings and feedback when we share it with Drivers, but a Driver may be able to identify the Rider that provided the rating or feedback.)

Driver information shared with Rider: Upon a Driver accepting a requested ride, we will share with the Rider the Driver’s name, profile photo, preferred pronouns, rating, real-time location, and the vehicle make, model, color, and license plate, as well as other information in the Driver’s Bombo profile, such as information Drivers choose to add (like country flag and why you drive) and Driver statistics (like approximate number of rides and years as a Driver).

Although we help Riders and Drivers communicate with one another to arrange a pickup, we do not share your actual phone number or other contact information with other users when enabling this. If you report a lost or found item to us, we will seek to connect you with the relevant Rider or Driver, which may include sharing actual contact information with your consent.

Shared Ride Riders. When Riders use a Bombo Shared ride, we share each Rider’s name and profile picture to ensure safety. Riders may also see each other’s pickup and drop-off locations as part of knowing the route while sharing the ride.

Rides Requested or Paid For by Others. Some rides you take may be requested or paid for by others. If you take one of those rides using your Bombo Business Profile account; a pass, code or coupon; a subsidized program (e.g., transit or government); a corporate credit card linked to another account; or another user or entity otherwise requests or pays for a ride (or portion of a ride) for you, we may share some or all of your ride details with that other party, including your identity (e.g., name, phone number), the date, time, charge, rating given, region of trip, and pick up and drop off location of your ride.

Linked Accounts and Sharing Upon Your Request. If you use the Bombo Platform as part of a Bombo Family account linked with others or if you direct us to share your information with trusted contacts, we will then share with those parties information about your use of the Bombo Platform, such as the live location of your ride.

B. Disclosures to Service Providers to Provide the Bombo Platform, and Other Parties

E. Upon Your Further Direction

How We Store and Protect Your Information

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide you and our other users the Bombo Platform. This means we keep your profile information for as long as you maintain an account. We retain transactional information such as rides and payments for at least seven years to ensure we can perform legitimate business functions, such as accounting for tax obligations. We also retain your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our terms and policies. If you request account deletion, we will delete your information as set forth in the “Deleting Your Account” section below.

We take reasonable and appropriate measures designed to protect your personal information. But no security measures can be 100% effective, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information, including against unauthorized intrusions or acts by third parties.
