You have control over the content of your public profile.
Your public profile is visible to everyone, and your real name is always visible to your teammates. If you don't want users on other teams or the general public to be able to know your real name, then choose a nickname on the Edit Profile page, and check the box next to "Display a nickname instead of my real name."
If you choose to upload a profile image, it will be visible on your profile page and in the public standings pages, along with your real name (or nickname). The same goes for the optional "Bio". Be aware that these pages are visible to anyone on the web.
Your email address is not available or visible to any other BCC participants other than your Team Captain until you respond to a message from them. Participants may send one another individual messages, and Captains may message their entire team at once, but your email address is never visible to teammates sending you messages through the site, unless you respond.
We will use your email address to keep you informed about the current month-long Challenge, to ask you at the end of the Challenge to become a member of the BTA, and to announce the beginning of next year's Challenge. We will not sell your email address.
Upon request and at our discretion, we may also allow local transit district or bicycle advocates to send, through us, an email to BCC Captains during the Challenge informing them of local BCC events, transportation options or other opportunities.
This year you can also opt to receive the BTA monthly email newsletter. You can do this when registering or any time by managing your profile.
This year the Bicycle Transportation Alliance is providing the option for BCC participants to provide their address and phone number and requiring that all participants provide a home zip code. Zip codes may be used along with workplace addresses to map generally where folks are biking. (If such mapping occurs, no one will be able to view your personal information.)
We may use your address or phone number to contact you regarding transportation plans that affect your neighborhood or to share other opportunites to get involved with the BTA. We will not sell, share, or trade your information with anyone else.
Because there is no secure personal information or financial information involved in the BCC, data sent to and from the BCC website is not encrypted.
