Email addresses are used for the purposes of inviting new friends to join JOYRIDECLUB.COM, to add others to your network of friends, and to send notifications related to the service. Unless you insert your email address in a public blog or a message entry viewable by the public, JOYRIDECLUB.COM does not provide anyone's email address to anyone else.

From time to time, JOYRIDECLUB.COM or a partner may sponsor a promotion, sweepstakes or contest on JOYRIDECLUB.COM. Users may be asked to provide personal information including name, email address or home address or to answer questions in order to participate. We may transfer personal information to certain ad partners that you have explicitly requested to receive information from. It will be clear at the point of collection who is collecting the personal information and whose privacy statement will apply.
Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information
The following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed in the normal scope of business:
- Profiles and Forums. Any information that you place or submit to be placed within your profile or within any other forum on JOYRIDECLUB.COM will be disclosed to the public.
- Advertisers. We may aggregate personally identifiable information and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes. We do not disclose your information in a personally identifiable manner to such third party advertisers without your consent.
- External Service Providers. There may be a number of separate services offered by third parties on JOYRIDECLUB.COM that we refer to as external service providers and that may be complementary to your use of JOYRIDECLUB.COM. We will only provide your personally identifiable information to an external service provider with your consent. To prevent the disclosure of your personally identifiable information to an external service provider, you can decline such consent or simply not use their services.
Please note that if you choose to use the services of, or disclose information to, an external service provider, then the external service provider's use of your information is governed by the external service provider's privacy policy. You should evaluate the practices of external services providers before deciding to use their services.
- Internal Service Providers. We may use third parties that we refer to as internal service providers to facilitate or outsource one or more aspects of our business, product and service operations (e.g., technology, Forums, analytical tools, advertising campaign management) and therefore we may provide some of your personal information directly to these internal service providers. We implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of your personally identifiable information by internal service providers, unless you have provided permission for additional uses.
Please note that if you provide additional information to an internal service provider directly, then the internal service provider's use of your personally identifiable information is governed by the internal service provider's privacy policy. You should evaluate the practices of internal services providers before deciding to provide information directly to an internal service provider.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right (and you authorize us) to share or disclose your personally identifiable information when we determine, in our sole discretion, that the disclosure of your personally identifiable information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against you if:
- you are or may be violating this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use;
- you are interfering with another's rights or property, including, without limitation, our rights or property;
- you are violating any applicable law, rule or regulation;
- necessary or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation; and/or
- requested by authorities in the event of any act of terrorism or instance of local, regional or national emergency.
Personally identifiable information and other personal information collected from you may also be transferred to a third party as a result of a sale, acquisition, merger, reorganization, other transfer or bankruptcy (a "Transfer") involving us and/or our affiliates. We specifically reserve the right to transfer personally identifiable information collected from JOYRIDECLUB.COM, and any of its databases, together with any personally identifiable information contained therein, to a third party in connection with a Transfer, and nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to interfere with our ability to transfer all or part of our business and/or assets (including JOYRIDECLUB.COM) to an affiliate or independent third party at any time, for any purpose, without any limitation whatsoever.
Please note that, although we use security measures to keep your personally identifiable information anonymous, no security measure is perfect or impenetrable. In addition, due to the existing environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary within this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use or JOYRIDECLUB.COM, you use JOYRIDECLUB.COM at your own risk and we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications will always remain private.

JOYRIDECLUB.COM does not sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations and invitation reminders.
