2. Purpose of the processing
We process your personal data so we can provide you with the services you needed more efficiently:
- To connect you with a driver: We collect personal data so we can connect with users who are looking to be picked up and dropped off. These services include cars, bikes, and scooters that are available in areas close by. The instant messages the app uses can be used for customer service and to resolve disputes between drivers and riders. This is also helpful when they use that data to improve their products and services, as well as analyze it.
- We help you keep track of your ride: We help drivers congregate at specific locations and show them where the passengers they are picking up or dropping off are located. Drivers can also keep track of the route on their monitor to save time & effort, and make sure they have both their phone number and geolocation nearby so that they never miss a call or text from riders. This data is collected only when the app is activated (in use). Drivers in some countries cannot see the passenger's phone number on the app after the app has been closed. This is done to avoid personal information from being accessible to drivers.
- To make sure your smooth journey: Geolocation data is used to automatically get employees to their destinations and reduce the loss of time incurred by getting someone in the wrong location. It also helps ensure billings are correct.
- We make sure the optimal app performance: We use your contact information to notify you of any changes to our app. We appreciate you continuing to use our service, and these updates will help you make sure you are using the latest version of our service. We collect limited data from your device to improve our service (IP address and data that helps you connect with the internet). These checks help keep your account safe and verify your authentication.
- To make sure to offer a quick, cheap, and most convenient ride to you: We collect data on the routes taken by our passengers and riders to analyze geographic coverage. This feature allows us to find the most efficient routes for drivers and our scooters. It also helps make sure that our employees are near customers.
- We collect your payment: We obtain payment details to process passenger payments for drivers who use our ride-hailing app. These are usually used in transactions such as rideshare and cab.
- We maintain and promote standards: We collect data on journeys, such as whether a journey has concluded, or when it happened. Through this, we encourage customer safety and compliance with our terms and conditions. We also want to make sure that everyone comes away from their experience with us feeling satisfied. Customer service is an important aspect of any business, and feedback on the quality of your customer support can be helpful. It allows you to resolve disputes, as well as instill a sense that your company cares about the customer’s experience.
- We keep you informed: We'll use your name, phone number, and email address to let you know if your journey is complete or to send you other trip-related information.
3. Legal Basis
We are allowed to use your data in the ways described above if you have a proper reason for doing so. Your information always comes with an explicit need for you, and we make sure that any usage is justified.
- We process your personal data to create the personalized service you want. Personal data may be processed to meet our terms and conditions, in order to give you an unparalleled service.
- We confirm with you whether we need your personal data in order to process your request or if it falls under legitimate interest. Our legitimate interests include providing an innovative, personalized, and safe service to our passengers and partners. This is at the expense of other interests - including being profitable. Our legitimate interests in our company include things like investigating fraud and other malicious activity, maintaining the security of our systems, and responding to potential criminal activity.
We sometimes rely on alternative legal bases when:
- Compliance with a legal obligation such as processing data when required can be beneficial. It happens, for example, if there is a valid legal request.
- in the event of an emergency or when there is a threat to life.
We always strive for transparency in all of our contact with you. This includes requirements for providing consent to specific uses as well as information about how we review, use, and retain your content metadata.
Getting personal information to complete a contract is important and may allow the company to avoid certain legal consequences. It might also mean that they are not able to provide you with services. When you download our App, we collect and process your personal data, such as location information, so that drivers can find you in a timely manner. Refusing to share your location will cause it to be unavailable for driver directions and when looking for reservations. We will not let you sign up or use your account if there's a reasonable suspicion that you're trying to get around the obligations.
4. Recipients
We only work with trusted partners and authorities. We always share what is necessary and nothing more. We know that data can be valuable, so we don't sell your personal information to companies that may use it against you.
- When a ride-on is requested, the company shares your personal data with the driver. This includes all name, contact number, and location data, as well as other demographic information.
- After availing the transportation service, your information will remain visible to the driver for 24-48 hours. This is important because it allows supervisors who may have an issue like something left in the car to contact their driver and get the issue resolved with that passenger.
- Riders give up-to-date feedback on their rides using our app. The data is anonymous and made private between you and the company. So even if someone gives you a bad rating, they can't use your input against you or it will no longer be accurate.
- It is in some cases legally compelled to share information with external recipients, such as when a court orders us or when we cooperate with a data protection supervisory authority.
- We often perform these responses when we have a good-faith belief that the response is required by law in that jurisdiction, when it furthers a public interest task, affects users in that jurisdiction, and is consistent with our Terms of Service. We have a strong legal basis to share the information and will document our decision by providing a justification.
5. Security of Your Personal Data
Data security is one of our top priorities, but your data may not be completely secure. As we strive to use industry-accepted means of data protection, keep in mind that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage would be 100% secure.
