We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information.
Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number

Do we use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are pieces of information that a site sends to your computer while you are viewing the site.
Cookies work in combination with content within the site itself to capture and remember information.
For instance, cookies are used to remember and process the items in your shopping cart.
They are also used to track your activity and understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity.
This enables us to provide you with services or to improve your site experience.
We also use cookies to provide us with aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer
better site experiences and tools in the future. We may contract with third party service providers to assist us
in serving cookies, however, they are not permitted to use the information collected except to help
BikeSomeWhere conduct and improve its business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies.
You do this through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) settings.
Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.
If you turn cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient -- like
the features mentioned above -- and some of our services will not function properly.

Do we disclose the information we collect to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless
we provide you with advance notice, except as described below.
The term "outside parties" does not include Somewhereoutthere, LLC.'s wholly-owned companies.
(Somewhereoutthere, LLC is BikeSomeWhere's parent company).
It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website,
conducting BikeSomeWhere's business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law,
enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor information in aggregate form may be provided to other parties for marketing,
advertising, or other uses.
