Introduction

Transport for Greater Manchester ("TFGM") are working with Beryl to provide the Bee Network Cycle Hire Scheme which includes providing electric bikes with docking infrastructure, across Greater Manchester.

The aim is to increase public access to bikes and promote an increase in the use of them to replace journeys previously completed using other modes of transport such as private vehicles.

The Bee Network Cycle Hire Scheme will provide 24/7 self-service, public shared facilities across Greater Manchester.

TfGM are the data controller for the personal data collected for the use of the bikes for the Greater Manchester Bee Network Cycle Hire Scheme, with Beryl as our processor. There will be some elements where Beryl will be a data controller in their own right for personal data collected for their own purposes within their application.

Those using the bikes within Greater Manchester will enter into terms and conditions with TfGM.
