Bird filed for Chapter 11 in December 2023 and its assets were acquired, which makes this the tracker's cleanest illustration of what happens to your data when a company fails: customer records are assets in a bankruptcy estate, and they transfer to whoever buys them under terms the customer never agreed to and generally never learns. Scooter data is precise location history. The privacy policy a rider accepted described the practices of a company that no longer exists, and no consumer protection framework in the US meaningfully constrains what a successor entity may do with acquired personal data.

Data sharing
Bird FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY in December 2023 and was ACQUIRED in 2024 by Third Lane Mobility — a major operational/ownership change worth flagging for anyone with an existing Bird account/payment method on file, given how much ownership and operational continuity can shift during bankruptcy reorganization.
