By agreeing to this Statement while installing the App and/or using the features made available to you through the Services, you are agreeing to the terms of this Statement and consenting to the collection, use, and sharing of Your Information in a manner consistent with this Statement.

What Information We Collect About You

Your Information includes information we collect and process about you such as:

Axon Vibe may request Personal Information from you, including but not limited to your name and phone number, when you sign up for the App. In order to use the App, You also may be required to provide us with Personal Information directly through the Services or the App, such as your name and profile picture, when you edit your account profile, or interact with the App’s features, by, for example, bookmarking journeys.

Precise location information. We collect precise location information from your device through GPS or other technologies, such as using WiFi signals, as well as movement sensor or pedometer data.

We combine all of this information with other information about you (Personal Information you provide to us and/or log data) and use it to create a movement profile for your account. This information allows us to better understand the places that you visit and the patterns of your movement activity, as described further below in the section entitled “How We Use Your Information That We Collect”.

The App will ask for your prior consent to the collection and use of your precise location and movement sensor for these purposes through the settings on your mobile device during the “On-Boarding Process.” If you would like to withdraw your consent to the collection and use of precise location information, you may change the default settings in the App. However, if you withdraw this consent and turn off the location tracking at any time, then certain Services, including booking of trips, may not be available to you.
