Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 27, 2026

1. Information We Collect

Rival RV is a pre-launch service operated by Lokale LLC. Depending on the development features you choose to use, we may collect the following categories of information:

  • Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, date of birth, profile photo, and mailing address.
  • Identity Information: Information entered into development-stage verification forms. Provider-backed identity verification is currently disabled, and you should not submit identity documents until the Platform states that this feature is active.
  • Payment Information: Checkout is currently disabled. If payment processing is activated later, this policy will identify the processor and information handled before payment details are collected.
  • Listing Location: Hosts may provide an exact vehicle or pickup location. Public listing responses omit street address and postal code and expose only city, state, and coarse map coordinates.
  • Usage Data: Pages visited, search queries, booking history, messaging activity, and interactions with listings.
  • Device Information: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and screen resolution.
  • Location Data: Approximate location based on IP address; precise location only when you grant explicit permission through your device settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Processing bookings, payments, payouts, and refunds
  • Verifying user identities to maintain platform safety and trust
  • Processing payments securely through Stripe
  • Communicating with you about bookings, account activity, policy updates, and customer support
  • Improving the Platform, including personalizing your experience and developing new features
  • Detecting and preventing fraud, unauthorized access, and other illegal activities
  • Complying with legal obligations, including tax reporting and law enforcement requests

3. Identity Verification Data

Rival RV has not integrated a third-party identity-verification provider. Provider-backed verification and biometric matching are currently disabled.

Do not upload a government ID, selfie, driver’s license, or other sensitive verification document unless the Platform clearly announces that verification is active and presents updated provider, processing, retention, and deletion disclosures before submission.

4. Payment Information

Checkout and payment processing are currently disabled. Rival RV does not currently request or accept card or bank-account details through an operational checkout.

Before payments are enabled, this policy will be updated to identify the active processor and explain what transaction information Rival RV receives, stores, and retains.

5. Cookies & Tracking

We use the following types of cookies and tracking technologies:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the Platform to function properly. These cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics: We use PostHog, a privacy-focused analytics platform, to understand how users interact with the Platform and to identify areas for improvement.

We do not use third-party advertising trackers. We do not sell your browsing data to advertisers. We do not participate in cross-site tracking or ad exchanges.

7. Data Sharing

  • Feature Providers: Information shared with a verification, payment, or insurance provider only after that feature is activated and the relevant disclosure is presented
  • Law Enforcement: Information disclosed when required by law, court order, subpoena, or to protect the safety of our users
