When you register with Check My Ride, we require that you provide us with some personally identifiable information (PII), which may include your first name, last name, nickname, and email address. We may also offer you the option to complete a user profile that is visible to other Check My Ride users and may include additional PII such as a profile picture, age, gender, and other biographical information that you may choose to share with visitors to your Check My Ride profile page. Please note that your name, nickname, city, state and zip code location information will be considered ‘publicly accessible’ by any Check My Ride visitor.

If you log-in through your Facebook credentials or through another third party application, we may receive your PII from that third party. When we receive PII from third parties, the information will continue to be subject to this privacy policy as well as our terms and conditions. In addition, you may be required to also read and accept the terms of service and privacy policy associated with Facebook or another third party provider who will request your consent before sharing your PII with Experian Automotive.

We may offer the ability for our users to upload their friends’ personal information, or share friends’ information with Check My Ride through Facebook or another third party application.

We may also collect information that could be considered PII when combined with personal information you provide or information we receive from third parties, which may include your Zip Code and postal address, profile picture, user ID’s, or any other unique user information. In the event that information that was non-personal is combined with information that makes it PII, we will treat that information the same as any other PII.

2. Non-Personal Information We Collect

Check My Ride uses various technologies to collect non-personal information, or convert PII to non-personal information. Examples of the various collection mechanisms include:
  • Website visitor information: We use clear gifs, otherwise known as pixel tags, in combination with visitor log file information which may include type of web browser, Internet Protocol (IP) Address, referring web pages, and other information to track anonymous visitor website activity.
  • Cookies: We use cookies, which are text files store on your computer by your web browser, to do a number of things, including remembering your profile upon your next visit, track your website behavior in conjunction with the previously mentioned website visitor tracking mechanisms, and assist with making our website, email and other communications more personalized and relevant. You can modify your browser controls to reject our cookies at any time, but some functionality of our website such as remembering your preferences may not be functional. Please review the additional information about service providers and partners for more information about third party cookies that may be utilized on this website and with other marketing communications.
  • Other non personal identifiers: We may collect other information, such as mobile device identifiers, to help optimize our website content for mobile users, or with other third party applications. In the event that this information is collected, we or our partners will provide information about the use of such information and choices you may have to limit this data from being collected, if applicable.

    4. Sharing of Your Information

    With Affiliated Companies

    Check My Ride is a service provided by Autocheck, a part of Experian. Information you provide to Check My Ride may be shared with any member of the Experian family of companies. For more information about Experian, please refer to www.experiangroup.com

    With Third Party Partners

    The personally identifiable information you provide to us will not be shared with any third parties for marketing purposes.

    We may share information about you and other Check My Ride users collectively, but not specifically identifiable to you, with various third parties. The information that we share includes information that we have collected, in addition to information collected from select third party partners, which may be merged with information we have collected. The recipients of this information may include publishers, advertisers, and advertising networks. They may use it to develop and deliver advertising on the Experian family of websites and on the websites of third parties. The information is also used for analytical and aggregated reporting purposes.

    Where we share information with advertising networks, we do so with companies that are members of the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA"), which offers a single location for users to opt out of receiving tailored ads from DAA member companies. To opt out of targeted advertising by DAA member companies, or to obtain information about the technologies they use or their own privacy policies, please visit: http://www.aboutads.info

    Please note that if you choose to opt out of having your information used to deliver advertisements tailored to your interests, you will continue to see advertisements on the Web but these advertisements may not be as relevant to you. Moreover, if you opt out, and you later change computers or browsers or clear your hard drive of all cookies, you will need to repeat this process. With Service Providers

    We may use various service providers to create and maintain the website, conduct marketing communications, and conduct various market research or analytics efforts. In the case of website analytics and email marketing communications, we may authorize these providers to employ the same types of visitor tracking technologies we employ on our website, such as pixel tags and cookies. We direct all such service providers to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed to them and to not use your information for any purpose other than to provide services on our behalf.

    5. Accessing and Updating Your Information

    Information We Receive From Facebook or Another Third Party Application If you log-in through Facebook, you can edit your Facebook privacy settings for applications like Check My Ride to control what your friends can share about you when using applications and websites, block and remove specific applications from accessing your information and contacting you, and control who may see your activities. In the event we enable you to log-in through another third party application, you should be aware of your available profile privacy settings through that application.

    6. Securing Your Information

    Check My Ride implements reasonable security measures to protect the security of your information both online and offline, and we are committed to the protection of customer information. For user accounts registered directly with Check My Ride, information is protected by a password for each member to use and access their online profile. It is important that you protect and maintain the security of your profile and that you immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account. If you forget the password to your Check My Ride account, we will allow you to request instructions on how to reset your password. When you sign into your account, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology ("SSL").

    Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the Internet is not completely secure. Although we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data while it is being transmitted to us. Any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we have procedures and security features in place to try to prevent unauthorized access.

    7. How Future Changes to this Policy Will Be Applied

    In the event that we decide to make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will notify you and other users by placing a notice on CheckMyRide.com or by sending you a notice to the e-mail address you provide to us. You should periodically refer to our website and this privacy policy for updates.
