    1. Acceptance of Terms

    Welcome to Joyrider.

    These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Joyrider mobile application, website, related features, content, and services (collectively, the "Service").

    Joyrider is created and operated by Carlos Lerma ("Joyrider," "we," "us," or "our").

    By downloading, accessing, or using Joyrider, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

    2. Purpose of Joyrider

    Joyrider is a recreational cycling companion designed to enhance the experience of riding a bicycle through interactive features, ride information, visual elements, and convenience tools.

    Joyrider is not a professional navigation service, safety monitoring system, emergency response service, medical device, collision avoidance system, or substitute for responsible cycling.

    Any information presented through the Service is intended for general convenience and informational or recreational purposes.

    3. Assumption of Risk

    CYCLING IS AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS ACTIVITY THAT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, PERMANENT DISABILITY, OR DEATH.

    By choosing to ride a bicycle while using Joyrider, you acknowledge the inherent risks of cycling, including but not limited to:

    • Collisions with vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, animals, or objects.

    • Falls, crashes, loss of control, and equipment failure.

    • Dangerous roads, intersections, bicycle lanes, or weather conditions.

    • Distraction caused by mobile devices.

    • Incorrect, delayed, missing, or incomplete information.

    • Physical injury, illness, exhaustion, or medical emergencies.

    • Property loss or damage.

    You voluntarily assume the ordinary and inherent risks associated with your cycling activities and your own decisions while using the Service.

    Nothing in these Terms excludes responsibility that cannot legally be excluded.

    4. Rider Responsibility

    You are solely responsible for operating your bicycle safely, maintaining awareness of your surroundings, complying with applicable traffic laws, and exercising independent judgment.

    You agree to:

    • Obey traffic signals, road signs, and applicable cycling regulations.

    • Keep your attention on the road.

    • Avoid interacting with Joyrider when doing so would be unsafe.

    • Use appropriate protective equipment.

    • Maintain your bicycle in safe operating condition.

    • Stop somewhere safe before interacting with features requiring your attention.

    • Never rely exclusively on Joyrider to determine whether a road, route, maneuver, or riding condition is safe.

    Joyrider does not control traffic, road conditions, other road users, or your actions.

    5. Safety Features and Limitations

    Joyrider may offer features intended to encourage safer riding habits, including Eyes Up, Warning Light, pre-ride reminders, and other visual or informational tools.

    These features are supplementary conveniences, not guaranteed safety systems.

    Eyes Up

    Eyes Up may use supported device capabilities to detect certain user behaviors or reduce on-screen distractions.

    It does not guarantee accurate detection, uninterrupted operation, prevention of distraction, or protection against accidents.

    Warning Light

    Any feature using your device's flashlight or display to increase visibility is a supplemental visibility aid only.

    It is not a certified bicycle light, reflector, or replacement for lighting equipment required by law.

    Pre-Ride Safety Checks

    Safety checklists, confirmations, and reminders are informational only. Completing them does not establish that your bicycle, equipment, environment, or riding conditions are safe.

    Joyrider does not physically inspect or certify bicycles.

    6. Maps, Navigation, and Location Information

    Navigation, bicycle lane information, maps, traffic information, nearby services, and GPS-based features may contain inaccuracies or become unavailable without warning.

    Joyrider does not guarantee:

    • That any suggested route is safe, legal, accessible, or suitable.

    • That bicycle lanes, roads, or paths currently exist or remain open.

    • That displayed businesses, bathrooms, repair facilities, or convenience stores are available.

    • The accuracy of GPS positioning, speed, distance, or travel time.

    • Continuous connectivity or access to mapping services.

    You must independently evaluate routes and follow posted signs and applicable laws.

    Never follow app instructions into dangerous, restricted, or unlawful areas.

    7. Ride Data and Performance Estimates

    Speed, distance, elapsed time, average speed, daylight estimates, trip history, and other ride metrics may be approximate.

    Measurements may be affected by GPS inaccuracies, device limitations, environmental conditions, software errors, and interruptions.

    Joyrider does not guarantee that any recorded measurement accurately reflects actual travel or environmental conditions.

    8. Emergencies and Personal Safety

    JOYRIDER IS NOT AN EMERGENCY SERVICE.

    The Service does not guarantee emergency detection, notification, rescue, or assistance.

    In an emergency, contact local emergency services directly when safe and possible.

    You should never delay seeking appropriate help because of information displayed in Joyrider.

    9. Disclaimer of Warranties

    TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, JOYRIDER IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

    We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, accurate, reliable, secure, or suitable for any particular purpose.

    We do not guarantee that Joyrider will prevent accidents, injuries, losses, or other adverse events.

    This section does not limit warranties or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

    10. Limitation of Liability

    TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CARLOS LERMA AND JOYRIDER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE.

    This includes, where legally excludable, losses relating to service interruptions, inaccurate information, lost data, missed destinations, or decisions made in reliance on the Service.

    For claims that applicable law permits to be contractually limited, aggregate monetary liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) $100 USD or (b) the amount you paid directly for the Service during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

    Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, personal injury, death, statutory violations, or any other matter to the extent such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

    11. User Conduct

    You agree not to:

    • Use Joyrider in violation of applicable law.

    • Operate a bicycle recklessly or dangerously.

    • Use the Service in a manner that endangers others.

    • Attempt to interfere with the Service or its security.

    • Reverse engineer, copy, or commercially exploit protected portions of the Service except where legally permitted.

    • Misrepresent your identity or misuse Service features.

    12. Third-Party Services

    Joyrider may integrate or display information from third-party providers, including mapping, weather, location, and other information services.

    Third parties may have separate terms and privacy practices.

    Joyrider does not control third-party information, availability, accuracy, or performance and is not responsible for third-party conduct except as required by applicable law.

    13. Privacy and Permissions

    Certain features may require device permissions, including location, camera, motion sensors, or other device capabilities.

    The collection, processing, sharing, storage, and deletion of personal information will be governed by Joyrider's separately published Privacy Policy.

    Granting a device permission does not waive your applicable privacy rights.

    You may manage supported device permissions through your operating system settings.

    14. Intellectual Property

    Joyrider, including its original software, visual design, branding, animations, text, graphics, and other protected materials, is owned by Carlos Lerma or the applicable rights holders.

    You receive a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purposes, subject to these Terms and applicable law.

    No ownership rights are transferred to you.

    15. Availability and Modifications

    We may modify, update, suspend, discontinue, or remove features when reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, technical, operational, or other legitimate reasons.

    We do not guarantee continued availability of particular features.

    Where required by law, we will provide appropriate notice of material changes.

    16. Indemnification

    To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Carlos Lerma and Joyrider from third-party claims, losses, and reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful conduct, intentional misconduct, or material breach of these Terms.

    This provision does not require you to indemnify Joyrider for its own negligence, unlawful acts, or conduct for which indemnification is prohibited by law.

    17. Eligibility

    You must have the legal capacity to accept these Terms.

    If you are a minor, your use of the Service must comply with applicable age restrictions and any required parental or guardian consent.

    18. Termination

    We may restrict or terminate access where reasonably necessary in response to violations of these Terms, security concerns, misuse, or legal requirements.

    Provisions that reasonably need to survive termination, including intellectual property protections, disclaimers, and lawful liability limitations, will continue to apply.

    19. Governing Law

    These Terms are governed by the applicable laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws require otherwise.

    Nothing in these Terms removes rights or remedies provided by applicable law.

    20. Changes to These Terms

    We may revise these Terms periodically.

    Updated Terms will be published through the Service or official website with a revised effective date.

    Where applicable law requires additional notice or consent, we will provide it.

    21. Severability

    If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the extent permitted by law.

  • Privacy Policy

    Joyrider

    Effective Date: October 27, 2026
    Developer: Carlos Lerma
    Website: https://joyriderapp.com

    1. Introduction

    Welcome to Joyrider.

    Joyrider is an independent iOS application designed to make recreational cycling more enjoyable, convenient, and safe.

    Your privacy matters to us. Joyrider is designed to work without requiring you to provide personal contact information or create a separate account.

    This Privacy Policy explains what information Joyrider accesses, how it is used, where your data is stored, and the choices available to you.

    By using Joyrider, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

    2. Personal Information

    Joyrider does not require you to provide personal information to use the app.

    We do not ask for:

    • Your name

    • Your email address

    • Your phone number

    • Your home or mailing address

    • Your date of birth

    • Payment information

    • Social media accounts

    • A Joyrider username or password

    Joyrider does not operate its own user registration system.

    Certain app features require access to your device's location or camera, as explained below.

    3. Location Information

    Joyrider requests permission to access your device's location to provide cycling-related features.

    With your permission, location information may be used to:

    • Display your current position on a map.

    • Track your cycling route, distance, speed, and ride duration.

    • Help you explore nearby places and cycling routes.

    • Save and replay previous rides.

    • Provide location-based ride information.

    • Support other navigation and cycling features within the app.

    Location access is controlled through Apple's iOS permission system.

    Depending on the permissions you grant, Joyrider may access your precise location while the app is in use or during an active ride, including in the background if supported and authorized.

    You may change or revoke location permissions at any time through your device's Settings.

    Disabling location access may prevent certain features from functioning correctly.

    Joyrider does not use your location for advertising or sell your location history to third parties.

    4. Camera Access

    Joyrider may request permission to access your device's camera for its Eyes Up safety feature.

    This feature is intended to help riders remain aware of their surroundings by detecting when they may be looking at their phone instead of the road.

    Camera access is used solely to provide the feature's functionality.

    Joyrider's intended camera data handling is as follows:

    • Camera input is analyzed directly on your device.

    • Camera footage is not recorded or saved.

    • Images and videos are not uploaded to Joyrider servers.

    • Facial recognition is not used to identify individual users.

    • No facial images or biometric identification profiles are retained.

    Camera permission can be disabled at any time through your device's Settings.

    Disabling camera access may prevent camera-dependent features from working, but will not prevent you from accessing unrelated features of Joyrider.

    5. iCloud Storage

    Joyrider uses Apple's iCloud services to store and synchronize supported app data.

    Depending on the features you use, this may include:

    • Saved rides and cycling history

    • Route information

    • Saved locations

    • Bike maintenance information

    • Personalization preferences

    • App settings and other user-generated ride information

    This information is associated with your Apple Account and managed through Apple's iCloud infrastructure.

    Joyrider does not require a separate account or password for its own services, and does not request access to your Apple Account credentials.

    Information stored through iCloud is subject to Apple's applicable privacy policies and security practices.

    You can manage your iCloud account and available storage controls through your Apple device.

    For more information, visit https://www.apple.com/privacy/.

    6. How We Use Information

    The information accessed by Joyrider is used to provide and support the app's features.

    This includes displaying maps, supporting cycling sessions, maintaining ride records, enabling safety features, and remembering your preferences.

    Joyrider does not use personal information to build advertising profiles.

    We do not sell or rent your information to advertisers or data brokers.

    7. Apple Services and Third-Party Providers

    Joyrider relies on Apple technologies and services, including iOS permissions and iCloud storage.

    Mapping and location features may also rely on Apple or other integrated mapping providers. These services may process information necessary to deliver maps, location search, or related functionality under their respective privacy policies.

    Joyrider does not intentionally share your saved ride information with advertisers or data brokers.

    Any third-party service integrated into Joyrider is subject to its own applicable privacy practices.

    8. Data Retention and Deletion

    Ride information, preferences, and other saved app data may remain on your device or in your iCloud storage until they are deleted.

    You may manage applicable information through Joyrider's available data-management features and Apple's iCloud settings.

    Deleting Joyrider from your device does not necessarily remove information previously synchronized with iCloud.

    You may also contact the developer for assistance with questions about data deletion or information handled by Joyrider.

    9. Data Security

    Joyrider is designed to minimize the amount of personal information required to operate.

    We rely on Apple's operating system permissions and applicable iCloud security protections to help safeguard information.

    Although reasonable measures are taken to protect user information, no electronic storage or transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

    10. Your Privacy Choices

    You remain in control of the permissions granted to Joyrider.

    You can:

    • Enable or disable location access in iOS Settings.

    • Enable or disable camera access in iOS Settings.

    • Manage applicable saved information and iCloud storage.

    • Delete the Joyrider application from your device.

    • Choose whether to use optional features that require additional permissions.

    Revoking a permission prevents future access through that permission but may not automatically delete data previously saved.

    11. Children's Privacy

    Joyrider does not knowingly request names, contact details, or other personal identification information from children.

    The app's location and camera features remain subject to the permissions and controls provided by Apple's operating system.

    If you believe information has been handled inappropriately, please contact the developer.

    12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to Joyrider's features, technology, data practices, or applicable legal requirements.

    When changes are made, the effective date at the top of this policy will be updated.

    Material changes will be communicated when required by applicable law.

    13. Contact

    For privacy-related questions, concerns, or requests, please contact:

    Joyrider is built around a simple principle: your ride is yours.
