Zoyride tries hard to make your rides Joyride. Our Privacy Policy provides the latest information about the data we collect and how we use it.

Data Collections And Uses
This policy applies to users of Zoyride's services anywhere in the world, including users of Zoyride's apps, websites, features, or other services.

This policy describes how Zoyride and its affiliates collect and use personal information to provide our services. This policy applies to all users of our apps, websites, features, or other services anywhere in the world, unless covered by a separate privacy policy. This policy specifically applies to:

Riders: users who request or receive transportation

Drivers: users who provide transportation individually or through partner transportation companies

Admin Users: users who are supervisors of our corporate clients, who manage their day-to-day operation via Zoyride App

This policy also applies to those who provide information to Zoyride in connection with an application to use our services, or whose information Zoyride otherwise receives in connection with its services (such as contact information of individuals associated with Clients of Fleet Management Solution or Employee Transport Automation Solution). All those subject to this policy are referred to as “users” for purposes of this policy.

The practices described in this policy are subject to applicable laws in the places in which we operate. This means that we only engage in the practices described in this policy in a particular country or region if permitted under the laws of those places. Please contact us if you have questions on our practices in your country or region.

Zoyride collects:

- Information that you provide to Zoyride, such as when you create your Zoyride account.
- Information created when you use our services, such as location, usage, and device information.
- Information from other sources, such as from your employer or service provider when filling in your details to provide you transport services.

The following information is collected by or on behalf of Zoyride:
User profile: We collect information when you create or update your Zoyride account. This may include your name, email, phone number, login name and password, address, payment or banking information (including related payment verification information), government identification numbers such as Social Security number, driver’s license or passport if required by law, birth date, photo and signature. This also includes vehicle or insurance information of drivers. This also includes the preferences and settings that you enable for your Zoyride account.

Background check information: We may collect background check information if you sign up to use Zoyride's services as a driver or service provider. This may include information such as your driver history or criminal record (where permitted by law). This information may be collected by a vendor on Zoyride’s behalf.

Demographic data: We may collect demographic information about you, including through user surveys. In some countries, we may also receive demographic information about you from third parties.

Information created when you use our services
Location Information

Depending on the Zoyride services that you use, and your app settings or device permissions, we may collect your precise or approximate location information as determined through data such as GPS, IP address, and WiFi.

If you are a driver or Supervisor (Admin User), Zoyride collects location information when the Zoyride app is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen) or background (app open but not on screen) of your device.

If you are a rider and have provided permission for the processing of location data, Zoyride collects location information when the Zoyride app is running in the foreground. In certain regions, Zoyride also collects this information when the Zoyride app is running in the background of your device if this collection is enabled through your app settings or device permissions.

Riders may use the Zoyride app without enabling Zoyride to collect their location information. However, this may affect the functionality available on your Zoyride app. For example, if you do not enable Zoyride to collect your location information, you will have to manually enter your pickup address. In addition, location information will be collected from the driver during your trip and linked to your account, even if you have not enabled Zoyride to collect your location information.

Transaction Information

We collect transaction details related to your use of our services, including the type of services you requested or provided, your order details, delivery information, date and time the service was provided, amount charged, distance traveled, and payment method. Additionally, if someone uses your promotion code, we may associate your name with that person.

We enable users to communicate with each other and Zoyride through the Zoyride apps, websites, and other services. For example, we enable drivers and riders, and Admin Users and recipients, to call or text each other (in some countries, without disclosing their telephone numbers to each other). To provide this service, Zoyride receives some information regarding the calls or texts, including the date and time of the call/text, and the content of the communications. Zoyride may also use this information for customer support services (including to resolve disputes between users), for safety and security purposes, to improve our products and services and for analytics.

The rider recipient will also receive a receipt containing information such as a breakdown of amounts charged, your first name, photo, and a map of the route you took.
On your request, we share information with:
Other people at your request. For example, we may share your ETA and location with a friend at your request, or your trip information when you split a fare with a friend.

User Settings

The Settings menu in the Zoyride app gives users the ability to set or update their location and contacts sharing preferences, and their preferences for receiving mobile notifications from Zoyride. Information on these settings, how to set or change these settings, and the effect of turning off these settings are described below.

Location Information

Zoyride uses rider's device location services to make it easier to get a safe, reliable ride whenever you need one. Location data helps improve our services, including pickups, navigation, and customer support.

You may enable/disable or adjust Zoyride's collection of rider location information at any time through the App settings of your devices.

Share Live Location (Riders)

If enabled for you in your country, then you will see an option to disable it. If you have enabled the device location services on your mobile device, you may also enable Zoyride to share your location with your driver from the time you request a ride to the start of your trip. This makes it easier for your driver to pick you up.

You may enable/disable location sharing with your driver at any time through the Privacy Settings menu in the Zoyride app. You may use the Zoyride app if you have not enabled location sharing, but it may be more difficult for your driver to locate you.

Notifications: Account and Trip Updates

Zoyride provides users with trip status notifications and updates related to your account. These notifications are a necessary part of using the Zoyride app and cannot be disabled. However, you may choose the method by which you receive these notifications through the Settings menu in the Zoyride app.

Notifications: Discounts and News

You may enable Zoyride to send you push notifications about discounts and news from Zoyride. You may enable/disable these notifications at any time through the Settings menu in the Zoyride app.

Most mobile platforms (iOS, Android, etc.) have defined certain types of device data that apps cannot access without your consent. And these platforms have different permission systems for obtaining your consent. The iOS platform will alert you the first time the Zoyride app wants permission to access certain types of data and will let you consent (or not consent) to that request. Android devices will notify you of the permissions that the Zoyride app seeks before you first use the app, and your use of the app constitutes your consent.

In-app Ratings Pages

After every trip, riders and drivers are given the opportunity to rate each other and give feedback about their trip. When you rate your driver, the rating that you give your driver is anonymized and combined with ratings from other riders of your driver.
