WHAT THE POLICIES SAY

Lime is a shared e-scooter and e-bike operator run by Neutron Holdings, Inc. (dba Lime); Uber Technologies is a long-standing investor holding more than 10% of the company under an Integration Agreement that lets riders book Lime vehicles inside the Uber app. Lime's privacy policy discloses collection of trip and location data both from the rider's device and directly from the vehicle's own telematics, plus routine sharing of that data with cities, local authorities, public transport operators and law enforcement to satisfy operating-license and city-planning requirements (the mechanism behind municipal Mobility Data Specification reporting), alongside first- and third-party advertising/analytics cookies and device identifiers; Apple's App Store privacy label confirms usage data may be used to track riders across other companies' apps and websites. Contrary to the assumption that Lime is purely private, SEC EDGAR records show Neutron Holdings filed a confidential Draft Registration Statement (DRS/A) in March 2026 and, by its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026, had executed an IPO underwriting agreement and become an SEC-reporting company, giving it materially higher ownership traceability than a typical VC-backed peer. No privacy-specific incident, breach or regulatory enforcement action was found; the 10-Q discloses only ordinary-course rider litigation over wage, product-liability and personal-injury claims.
