PRIVACY STATEMENT

Commuter Connections and WABA are dedicated to protecting your privacy. We will not sell your contact information or share it with anyone other than your pit stop manager. I understand that my contact information is provided to the manager of my pit stop. If my pit stop is hosted by a government entity, my contact information may be accessible through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

As such, all personal information provided to Commuter Connections for Bike to Work Day is confidential, unless otherwise noted in the Terms of Use, and if the Bike to Work Day participant registers for Commuter Connections’ Ridematching, Guaranteed Ride Home, ‘Pool Rewards or other commuter program or service. Any other use of personal information is unauthorized and will be handled according to Commuter Connections’ Terms of Use. Commuter Connections and WABA will not share or sell your information to outside organizations or companies, this includes for Bike to Work Day. Any unauthorized use of personal information by a user may result in the termination of that individual’s account and banning from all programs. Commuters signing up for ridematching determine what contact information they share with other commuters. Importantly, your home address is not given to other commuters unless you elect to share it with other commuters through your commuter profile.
