Privacy Policy

Last Updated: Nov 05, 2022

Our goal at bozzo Rider is to enrich people's lives with the bozzot transportation in the world, providing a platform to help you get from one point to another. We need to gather, use and share some of your personal information to do that. This Privacy Policy is intended to help you understand how it is achieved by bozzo Rider and how the options and privileges you have with your data are exercised.

The Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to all bozzo Rider users, including Riders and Drivers (including Driver applicants), and to all bozzo Rider platforms and services, including our apps, websites, features, and other services (collectively, the “bozzo Rider Platform”). Please remember that your use of the bozzo Rider Platform is also subject to our Terms of Service.

The Information We Collect

When you use the bozzo Rider Platform, we collect the information you provide, usage information, location data and information about your device. We also collect information about you from other sources like third-party services, and optional programs in which you participate, which we may combine with other information we have about you. Here are the types of information we collect about you:

A. Information You Provide to Us

Account Registration. When you create an account with bozzo Rider, we collect the information you provide us, such as your name, email address, phone number, birth date, and payment information. You may choose to share additional info with us for your Rider profile, like your photo or saved addresses (e.g., home or work), and set up other preferences.

Driver Information. If you apply to be a Driver, we will collect the information you provide in your application, including your name, email address, phone number, birth date, profile photo, physical address, government identification number (such as aadhar number), driver’s license information, vehicle information, and car insurance information. We collect the payment information you provide us, including your bank account numbers, and ifsc code. Depending on where you want to drive, we may also ask for additional licenses and permit information or other information to manage driving and programs relevant to that location. We may need additional information from you at some point after you become a Driver, including information to confirm your identity (like a photo).

Ratings and Feedback. When you rate and provide feedback about Riders or Drivers, we collect all of the information you provide in your feedback.

Communications. When you contact us or we contact you, we collect any information that you provide, including the contents of the messages or attachments you send us.

B. Information We Collect When You Use the bozzo Rider Platform

Location Information. The bozzo Rider Platform collects location information (including GPS and WiFi data) differently depending on your bozzo Rider app settings and device permissions as well as whether you are using the platform as a Rider or Driver:

Riders: We collect your device’s precise location when you open and use the bozzo Rider app, including while the app is running in the background from the time you request a ride until it ends.
Drivers: We collect your device’s precise location when you open and use the app, including while the app is running in the background when it is in driver mode. We also collect precise location for a limited time after you exit driver mode in order to detect ride incidents, and continue collecting it until a reported or detected incident is no longer active.

Usage Information. We collect information about your use of the bozzo Rider Platform, including ride information like the date, time, destination, distance, route, payment, and whether you used a promotional or referral code. We also collect information about your interactions with the bozzo Rider Platform like our apps and websites, including the pages and content you view and the dates and times of your use.

Device Information. We collect information about the devices you use to access the bozzo Rider Platform, including device model, IP address, type of browser, version of operating system, identity of carrier and manufacturer, radio type (such as 4G), preferences and settings (such as preferred language), application installations, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, and push notification tokens. If you are a Driver, we also collect mobile sensor data from your device (such as speed, direction, height, acceleration, deceleration, and other technical data).

Communications Between Riders and Drivers. We work with a third party to facilitate phone calls and text messages between Riders and Drivers without sharing either party’s actual phone number with the other. But while we use a third party to provide the communication service, we collect information about these communications, including the participants’ phone numbers, the date and time, and the contents of SMS messages. For security purposes, we may also monitor or record the contents of phone calls made through the bozzo Rider Platform, but we will always let you know we are about to do so before the call begins.

Address Book Contacts. You may set your device permissions to grant bozzo Rider access to your contact lists and direct bozzo Rider to access your contact list, for example to help you refer friends to bozzo Rider. If you do this, we will access and store the names and contact information of the people in your address book.

Cookies, Analytics, and Third-Party Technologies. We collect information through the use of “cookies”, tracking pixels, data analytics tools like Google Analytics, SDKs, and other third-party technologies to understand how you navigate through the bozzo Rider Platform and interact with bozzo Rider advertisements, to make your bozzo Rider experience safer, to learn what content is popular, to improve your site experience, to serve you better ads on other sites, and to save your preferences. Cookies are small text files that web servers place on your device; they are designed to store basic information and to help websites and apps recognize your browser. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be accessed every time you use the bozzo Rider Platform. You should consult your web browser(s) to modify your cookie settings. Please note that if you delete or choose not to accept cookies from us, you may miss out on certain features of the bozzo Rider Platform.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. To make the bozzo Rider Platform work, we may need to share your personal information with other users, third parties, and service providers. This section explains when and why we share your information.

A. Sharing Between bozzo Rider Users

Riders and Drivers.

Rider information shared with Driver: Upon receiving a ride request, we share with the Driver the Rider’s pickup location, name, profile photo, rating, Rider statistics (like approximate number of rides and years as a Rider), and information the Rider includes in their Rider profile (like preferred pronouns). Upon pickup and during the ride, we share with the Driver the Rider’s destination and any additional stops the Rider inputs into the bozzo Rider app. Once the ride is finished, we also eventually share the Rider’s rating and feedback with the Driver. (We remove the Rider’s identity associated with ratings and feedback when we share it with Drivers, but a Driver may be able to identify the Rider that provided the rating or feedback.)

Driver information shared with Rider: Upon a Driver accepting a requested ride, we will share with the Rider the Driver’s name, profile photo, preferred pronouns, rating, real-time location, and the vehicle make, model, color, and license plate, as well as other information in the Driver’s bozzo Rider profile, such as information Drivers choose to add (like country flag and why you drive) and Driver statistics (like approximate number of rides and years as a Driver).

Although we help Riders and Drivers communicate with one another to arrange a pickup, we do not share your actual phone number or other contact information with other users. If you report a lost or found item to us, we will seek to connect you with the relevant Rider or Driver, including sharing actual contact information with your consent.

Rides Requested or Paid For by Others. Some rides you take may be requested or paid for by others. If you take one of those rides using your bozzo Rider Business Profile account, a code or coupon, a subsidized program (e.g., transit or government), or a corporate credit card linked to another account, or another user otherwise requests or pays for a ride for you, we may share some or all of your ride details with that other party, including the date, time, charge, rating given, region of trip, and pick up and drop off location of your ride.

Referral Programs. If you refer someone to the bozzo Rider Platform, we will let them know that you generated the referral. If another user referred you, we may share information about your use of the bozzo Rider Platform with that user. For example, a referral source may receive a bonus when you join the bozzo Rider Platform or complete a certain number of rides and would receive such information.

Leaderboard. When you refer someone you can check your ranking in comparison with others in the platform from the leaderboard section, we collect your personal data of referral within the app, and your name, profile picture referral count and ranking data are uploaded to our server and are visible to all users.

How We Store and Protect Your Information.

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide you and our other users the bozzo Rider Platform. This means we keep your profile information for as long as you maintain an account. We retain transactional information such as rides and payments for at least seven years to ensure we can perform legitimate business functions, such as accounting for tax obligations. If you request account deletion, we will delete your information as set forth in the “Deleting Your Account” section below.

We take reasonable and appropriate measures designed to protect your personal information. But no security measures can be 100% effective, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information, including against unauthorized intrusions or acts by third parties.
