Allow all 529 partner law enforcement agencies to view the contact information I have stored on my account.

By sharing your contact information with 529 partner law enforcement agencies, it may help get your bike back to you. For example, if police find your bike and you have shared your phone number, they can call you to confirm your bike is missing and sieze the bike even if you have not reported it missing with us yet. Sharing your contact information can also be used to help prevent fraudulent registrations.
