1. Information We Collect

To provide a seamless ride-sharing experience, we collect the following:

  • Account Data: Name, email, phone number, and profile photo.

  • Location Data: We collect your precise or approximate location data to enable ride requests, driver matching, and safety tracking. This happens even when the app is in the background if a ride is active.

  • Payment Information: We collect payment method details (Credit Card, Mobile Money) via encrypted third-party processors. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.

  • Device Data: IP address, device type, and operating system.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data to:

  • Connect you with the nearest available driver.

  • Calculate ride fares and process payments.

  • Provide customer support and safety features (SOS alerts).

  • Send you ride receipts and promotional updates (which you can opt out of).

3. Sharing with Third Parties

We share your data only when necessary:

  • With Drivers: We share your name, pickup location, and destination with the driver assigned to your request.

  • With Service Providers: We share data with map providers (like Leaflet/OSM) and payment gateways to complete your transactions.

  • For Legal Reasons: We may disclose data if required by law or to protect the safety of our users.

4. Data Retention and Security

We retain your personal information as long as your account is active. We implement industry-standard security measures (SSL encryption) to protect your data from unauthorized access.

5. Your Rights and Choices

  • Location Permissions: You can opt-out of location tracking in your phone settings, but the app will not function for booking rides without it.

  • Account Deletion: You may request the deletion of your account and data at any time through the app settings or by contacting support.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes via the app or email.
