Precise geolocation data is among the most sensitive categories of personal data. It can reveal where you live, work, and spend time, and may be shared with third parties including advertisers and service providers.
Interpretive note: The full scope of data sharing and retention is governed by the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference but not reproduced in this document, creating uncertainty about specific third-party disclosures and retention practices.
Using Lime's service means your precise location is continuously collected and may be shared with third-party service providers. This data can create a detailed record of your movements over time.

"When you use our Services, we and our service providers may collect location information, including precise geolocation, as well as information about your device, your use of our Services, and other information as described in our Privacy Policy.— Excerpt from Lime's Lime Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Precise geolocation data collection engages GDPR Article 5 (data minimization, purpose limitation) and Article 13 (transparency) for EU users, as well as CCPA for California residents who have rights to know, delete, and opt out of the sale of personal information including geolocation data. The FTC has identified geolocation data as a sensitive category warranting heightened protection in enforcement guidance. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The agreement references the Privacy Policy for full disclosure of collection and sharing practices but does not reproduce those terms within the User Agreement itself. The scope of third-party sharing, data retention periods, and secondary use of location data is therefore not fully assessable from this document alone. The statement that 'we and our service providers' may collect this data suggests potential third-party data processor or controller relationships that may require separate GDPR assessment. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users have the right under GDPR to access, correct, and delete their location data and to object to processing. California residents have CCPA rights to opt out of the sale or sharing of geolocation data. Illinois residents should note that geolocation data combined with device identifiers may engage the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act if biometric data is also collected. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should assess whether Lime's service provider contracts include data processing agreements compliant with GDPR Article 28 and CCPA requirements for service provider contracts. Geolocation data sharing with advertising partners warrants specific attention under evolving state privacy laws. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should map the full scope of geolocation data collection, retention periods, third-party recipients, and secondary uses against applicable law in each operating jurisdiction. Data subject request handling processes for geolocation data should be audited for completeness and response time compliance.
