In addition, UniRide will share certain, non-sensitive information with the Riders and Drivers you connect with in our rideshare platform community so that you may be properly connected with your Rider or Driver.  You can choose to delete any personal information we may have collected about you by contacting us.  Please note that Stripe is our primary payment processor, which is party that you agree we can share your information with so as to offer you the benefits of our Services; provided, however, that you also agree that at any time, without notice, we may change our payment processor, and that your continued use and/or access to our Services will constitute your consent to share your information with the other payment processors as well.
