Last Updated: March 12th, 2025

Burkson Technologies, Inc., doing business as RideStyler (“RideStyler,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our automotive Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, including our API, content management system (CMS), and related features (collectively, the “Services”), accessed through our websites and associated domains at https://www.ridestyler.com (the “Site”), our applications (the “Applications”), or other interactions with us. This policy applies to all users, including individuals and businesses utilizing our Services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party applications, websites, or services linked from our Site or Applications. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties before sharing personal information with them.

  • Ensuring compliance with our Terms of Use and applicable laws.

Performance Data may be used in any manner, including for product development, marketing, or analytics, provided it is anonymized or aggregated to prevent identification of individuals.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to enhance your experience, authenticate users, track preferences, and analyze Site traffic. Third-party advertisers or analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) may also place cookies, subject to their own privacy policies, over which we have no control. You can manage cookie settings in your browser, though disabling them may limit functionality on our Site or Applications.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures, such as SSL encryption and access controls, to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against breaches or failures.

We will respond to requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically 30 days, unless otherwise required by law.

7. International Data Transfers

Our Services are hosted in the United States. If you access them from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S., where data protection laws may differ from your jurisdiction. By using the Services, you consent to this transfer.
