3. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In Short: We may share information in specific situations described in this section and/or with the following categories of third parties.
Vendors, Consultants, and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents ("third parties") who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. We have contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. They also commit to protect the data they hold on our behalf and to retain it for the period we instruct.
The categories of third parties we may share personal information with are as follows:
- Data Storage Service Providers
- Performance Monitoring Tools
- Website Hosting Service Providers
- Ad Networks (including Google AdMob)
- Communication & Collaboration Tools
We also may need to share your personal information in the following situations:
- Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

We use certain Google Maps Platform APIs to retrieve certain information when you make location-specific requests. This includes: Identifiers; Location Data; Device ID; Crash Logs; and other similar information. A full list of what we use information for can be found in this section and in the previous section titled HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?. Google Maps uses GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell towers to estimate your location. GPS is accurate to about 20 meters, while Wi-Fi and cell towers help improve accuracy when GPS signals are weak, like indoors. This data helps Google Maps provide directions, but it is not always perfectly precise. We obtain and store on your device ("cache") your location for one (1) months. You may revoke your consent anytime by contacting us at the contact details provided at the end of this document. The Google Maps Platform APIs that we use store and access cookies and other information on your devices. If you are a user currently in the European Economic Area (EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway) or the United Kingdom, please take a look at our Cookie Notice.
- Other Users. When you share personal information or otherwise interact with public areas of the Services, such personal information may be viewed by all users and may be publicly made available outside the Services in perpetuity. Similarly, other users will be able to view descriptions of your activity, communicate with you within our Services, and view your profile.
4. WHAT IS OUR STANCE ON THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES?
In Short: We are not responsible for the safety of any information that you share with third parties that we may link to or who advertise on our Services, but are not affiliated with, our Services.
The Services may link to third-party websites, online services, or mobile applications and/or contain advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us and which may link to other websites, services, or applications. Accordingly, we do not make any guarantee regarding any such third parties, and we will not be liable for any loss or damage caused by the use of such third-party websites, services, or applications. The inclusion of a link towards a third-party website, service, or application does not imply an endorsement by us. We cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of data you provide to any third-party websites. Any data collected by third parties is not covered by this Privacy Notice.

5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
In Short: We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to gather information when you interact with our Services. Some online tracking technologies help us maintain the security of our Services, prevent crashes, fix bugs, save your preferences, and assist with basic site functions.
We also permit third parties and service providers to use online tracking technologies on our Services for analytics and advertising, including to help manage and display advertisements, to tailor advertisements to your interests. The third parties and service providers use their technology to provide advertising about products and services tailored to your interests which may appear either on our Services or on other websites.

6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless otherwise required by law.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will require us keeping your personal information for longer than 1 year.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment.
8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at u1401056.dev@gmail.com.
9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In Short: You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time, depending on your country, province, or state of residence.
Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, which may be express and/or implied consent depending on the applicable law, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE? below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our Services. You may also opt out of interest-based advertising by advertisers on our Services.
10. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.
11. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?

Services provided by Google used in the GoTogether app (Firebase and Google AdMob)
Firebase. The GoTogether app uses Firebase, a service provided by Google LLC, to run the app: Firebase Authentication (sign-in, including anonymous sign-in and email and password); Firebase Realtime Database and Cloud Storage (to store your profile, your ride records and routes, group and friend data, the location you choose to share with your group, and route thumbnails); and Firebase Analytics (to measure how the app is used). Firebase processes your user ID, your nickname and account name, the email address of your account (if you created one), location and route data, app interaction events (for example, which screen you open), and device identifiers such as the app instance ID. Learn more: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
Google AdMob and advertising ID. GoTogether shows ads with Google AdMob (the Google Mobile Ads SDK). To show and measure ads, prevent fraud and provide analytics, AdMob may collect and share with Google your IP address, the Android advertising ID and app set ID (or similar device identifiers), app interactions (such as app launches and taps) and diagnostic information. Ads may be personalized based on your advertising ID. You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ads personalization, in your Android device settings (Settings > Google > Ads; the path may differ by device). If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the app asks for your consent before showing ads, and you can change your choice later in the app’s Settings under “Ad privacy options”. Learn more: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
GoTogether 使用的 Google 服務（Firebase 與 Google AdMob）（繁體中文）
Firebase：GoTogether 使用 Google LLC 提供的 Firebase 來運作：Firebase Authentication（登入，包括匿名登入與 Email 加密碼登入）、Firebase Realtime Database 與 Cloud Storage（儲存你的個人資料、騎行紀錄與路線、群組與好友資料、你選擇分享給群組的位置，以及路線縮圖），以及 Firebase Analytics（了解 App 的使用情形）。Firebase 會處理你的使用者 ID、暱稱與帳號名稱、帳號信箱（若有建立帳號）、位置與路線資料、App 內互動事件（例如開啟哪個畫面），以及 App 實例 ID 等裝置識別碼。
Google AdMob 與廣告 ID：GoTogether 使用 Google AdMob（Google Mobile Ads SDK）顯示廣告。為了顯示與衡量廣告、防範詐欺及提供分析，AdMob 可能會收集並與 Google 共用你的 IP 位址、Android 廣告 ID 與 App Set ID（或類似的裝置識別碼）、App 互動（例如啟動與點擊）及診斷資訊。廣告可能依據你的廣告 ID 個人化。你可以在 Android 裝置設定中重設或刪除廣告 ID，或停用廣告個人化（設定 > Google > 廣告，路徑可能因裝置而異）。若你位於歐洲經濟區或英國，App 會在顯示廣告前徵求你的同意，之後可以在 App「設定」的「廣告隱私選項」變更選擇。
How GoTogether handles your location, rides, public activities and account records
Personal mode (not in a group). GPS track points, speed, elevation and heading are recorded on your device. Nobody else can see your live location. After each ride, the app uploads a ride summary to our cloud (Firebase) so that it can appear in your friends’ “friends feed”: distance, duration, elevation gain, average speed, badges, a thumbnail image, and a simplified route from which the points within 200 m of the start and end have been removed. Who can see it depends on the setting “Default ride visibility” in the app’s Settings: Public, Friends of friends (the default), Friends only, or Only me. If you choose “Only me”, nothing is uploaded.
Groups. When you join a group, your nickname and live location (position, speed and heading) are sent to our cloud and shown to every member of that group until you leave the group or stop sharing. A group lasts up to 36 hours (or ends a few minutes after its last member leaves). Expired groups, including the track points stored for them, are deleted by an automated cleanup that runs every 30 minutes, so deletion normally happens within about one hour after a group expires.
Public activities. If you create a public activity, its title, start time, your nickname, its group code and the number of members are stored and shown to all users of the app, and anyone can join it and then see the live location of all its members. You can cancel a public activity at any time, which removes it from the list. We store a short record that you accepted our Terms of Use and Community Guidelines (the version, the time and your anonymous user ID). When someone reports an activity, we store the activity ID, the reporter’s anonymous user ID, the reason and the time, in order to review the report and prevent abuse; we keep this for as long as needed for that purpose and no longer than one year, and we may take down content, restrict accounts, or inform the relevant authorities where required. Your list of blocked creators stays on your device and is not uploaded.
Deleting your data. You can delete your GoTogether account and the data linked to it inside the app: Settings (at the very bottom of the page) > “Delete account and cloud data”. You can also request deletion by email (see section 13). Reports are not deleted together with your account: reports you filed (which contain your anonymous user ID) and reports about your own activities (which contain the activity title and your anonymous user ID) are kept for the period stated above, because they are needed to review reports and prevent abuse.
GoTogether 如何處理你的位置、騎行、公開活動與帳號紀錄（繁體中文）
個人模式（沒有加入群組）：GPS 軌跡點、速度、海拔與方向記錄在你的裝置上，沒有其他人看得到你的即時位置。每次騎完，App 會把一份騎行摘要上傳到我們的雲端（Firebase），讓它出現在好友的「好友動態」：距離、時間、爬升、均速、勳章、縮圖，以及一條簡化過的路線（起點與終點 200 公尺內的軌跡點已移除）。誰看得到由 App「設定」裡的「騎行紀錄預設可見範圍」決定：公開、朋友的朋友（預設）、僅好友、僅自己；選「僅自己」就不會上傳。
群組：加入群組後，你的暱稱與即時位置（位置、速度、方向）會傳到我們的雲端，並顯示給該群組的所有成員，直到你離開群組或停止分享。群組最長維持 36 小時（最後一位成員離開後幾分鐘也會結束）。過期的群組（包含為群組儲存的軌跡點）由每 30 分鐘執行一次的自動清理刪除，所以通常在群組過期後約一小時內就會刪除。
公開活動：如果你建立公開活動，活動標題、開始時間、你的暱稱、群組代碼與目前人數會被儲存並顯示給所有使用者，任何人都可以加入，加入後就看得到所有成員的即時位置。你可以隨時取消公開活動，它就會從列表消失。我們會記錄你已同意使用條款與社群守則（版本、時間與你的匿名使用者 ID）。有人檢舉活動時，我們會儲存活動編號、檢舉者的匿名使用者 ID、原因與時間，用來審核檢舉與防止濫用；保存期間以達成這個目的所需為限，最長不超過一年；必要時我們可能下架內容、限制帳號，或依法通報相關單位。你封鎖的建立者名單只存在你的裝置，不會上傳。
刪除你的資料：你可以直接在 App 內刪除 GoTogether 帳號與相關的雲端資料：設定（頁面最下方）> 「刪除帳號與雲端資料」；也可以用電子郵件申請（見第 13 節）。檢舉紀錄不會隨帳號一起刪除：你提出的檢舉（含你的匿名使用者 ID），以及針對你的活動的檢舉（含活動標題與你的匿名使用者 ID），為了審核檢舉與防止濫用，依上述期間保存。
13. HOW CAN YOU REVIEW, UPDATE, OR DELETE THE DATA WE COLLECT FROM YOU?
Based on the applicable laws of your country, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we collect from you, details about how we have processed it, correct inaccuracies, or delete your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information. These rights may be limited in some circumstances by applicable law. To request to review, update, or delete your personal information, please contact us at u1401056.dev@gmail.com. To delete your GoTogether account and the data linked to it, see “Delete your GoTogether account and data” below.
Delete your GoTogether account and data
You can ask us to delete your GoTogether account and the data stored in the cloud (Firebase) that is linked to it. This includes your profile (nickname and account name), the email address of your account (if you created one), your ride history and route data, your group and friend connections, and the location data and route thumbnails you uploaded.
How to request: in the app, go to Settings (at the very bottom of the page) > “Delete account and cloud data”. Or send an email to u1401056.dev@gmail.com with the subject “GoTogether account deletion”. Please write from the email address linked to your account and include your nickname in the app, so that we can find your data. We will complete the deletion as soon as possible after receiving your request and reply to confirm.
Data stored only on your device is not on our servers. You can remove it by uninstalling the app or by using Reset in the app’s settings. Please note that the in-app Reset does not delete your cloud account.
We may keep a limited amount of information where required by law or for security and fraud prevention. If so, we will tell you when we confirm your request.
刪除 GoTogether 帳號與資料（繁體中文）
你可以要求我們刪除你的 GoTogether 帳號，以及儲存在雲端（Firebase）、與帳號相關的資料，包括個人資料（暱稱、帳號名稱）、帳號信箱（若有建立帳號）、騎行紀錄與路線資料、群組與好友關係，以及你上傳的位置資料與路線縮圖。
申請方式：直接在 App 內操作：設定（頁面最下方）> 「刪除帳號與雲端資料」；或寄信到 u1401056.dev@gmail.com，主旨寫「GoTogether 刪除帳號」。請用帳號綁定的信箱寄出，並附上你在 App 內的暱稱，方便我們找到你的資料。我們收到後會盡快完成刪除並回信確認。
只存在手機上的資料不在我們的伺服器上，解除安裝 App 或在 App 設定裡使用「重設」即可清除；請注意 App 內的「重設」不會刪除雲端帳號。
法律要求或為了安全與防止詐欺，我們可能會保留少量必要資訊；若有，會在回覆確認時告知。
