As stated in the privacy policy, no personal data is neither collected nor used by #findmybikes. However, some non personal and non identifiable data is collected and published publicly on Twitter. You can see the data output on the dedicated bot timeline
This published data is the essence of #ludOScity : smarter cities through smart interactions with their inhabitants. This data could be used to visualize and/or evaluate bikeshare services. Anyone, including you, could come up with some idea to use it.
Data is tweeted when the station closest to you doesn't provide service. When that happen, #ludOS publishes a status update through @findmybikesdata. This tweet mentions what was the closest station that could provide you service.
