Information We Collect

When you book a ride or create an account with us, we may ask for:

  • Personal details – your name, phone number, email address, and any addresses you choose to save for future bookings.
  • Journey information – pickup and drop-off points, dates, times, route details, fare amounts, and any special instructions you provide to the driver.
  • Location data – we use your device's GPS to pinpoint your pickup location, show nearby available vehicles, and allow you to track your driver. You can manage location permissions through your phone settings, though some features may be limited if location access is disabled.
  • Payment details – we process payments through secure third-party providers. We never store your full card number on our systems. We may keep the last four digits and billing postcode for receipt and reference purposes.
  • Communication records – messages sent through our app, support tickets, and phone calls to our office or drivers. Calls may be recorded for quality and training purposes.
  • Device information – phone model, operating system, app version, and error reports that help us fix issues and improve performance.
  • Accessibility requirements – if you let us know about any mobility needs, such as wheelchair access or assistance requirements, we use this solely to arrange a suitable vehicle.

How We Use Your Information

  • To create and manage your account and process your bookings.
  • To connect you with an available driver and share the details they need to complete your journey.
  • To send booking confirmations, receipts, and service updates.
  • To handle customer support queries and resolve any issues.
  • To detect and prevent fraud or misuse of our services.
  • To improve our app, website, and overall customer experience.
  • To send promotional offers or updates, if you have opted in to receive them.
  • To comply with legal obligations and local licensing requirements.

Sharing Your Data

We only share your information when it is necessary to provide our service or comply with the law. This includes:

  • Drivers – your name, pickup location, and any notes needed to complete the journey.
  • Payment processors – to handle transactions securely.
  • Communication providers – for SMS notifications and call masking to protect your phone number.
  • IT and hosting providers – to keep our systems running and your data secure.
  • Licensing authorities or law enforcement – where required by law or for safety investigations.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
