What we collect
When you register on Pillion Rides as a rider or a passenger, we collect what you submit in the signup form: your name, email address, phone number, age (optional), the location you search for, your motorcycle and riding preferences, an optional photo of your motorcycle, and any free-text message you add.
Why we collect it
We use this information to review and approve your listing, to show the information you’ve agreed to share publicly on the map and in listings, and to help put riders and passengers in touch with each other. By submitting the form, you give your consent to this.
What’s shown publicly
Once a listing is approved, the following is visible to anyone visiting the map: your name, approximate location, riding area (for riders), motorcycle type and riding style, experience level, your optional photo, and any message you’ve written. Your email address and phone number are never shown publicly. We only use them ourselves — to review your submission and, where relevant, to help connect you with other users.
Who can see your information
The site administrator can see everything you submit, including your contact details, in order to review and approve listings. We do not sell or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Third-party services
A few parts of Pillion Rides rely on outside services:
- When you search for a place in the signup form, your search is sent directly from your browser to OpenStreetMap’s Nominatim geocoding service.
- The map is built with the Leaflet library (loaded from the unpkg.com content delivery network) using map imagery from OpenStreetMap. Loading these may expose your IP address to those services as part of normal web traffic.
We don’t use any analytics, advertising, or tracking services ourselves — see our Cookie Policy for details.
How long we keep it
We keep your information for as long as your listing is active. If you want your listing or data removed, contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct, or delete the information we hold about you at any time by contacting us.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as Pillion Rides evolves. Significant changes will be reflected here with an updated date.
