By using the software, you agree to be legally bound by the agreement and the privacy policy set forth herein just as if had signed them.
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how we use your personal data collected via our application named DriveMe App (“DriveMe App”, “App”). Please read this Policy carefully.
DRIVEME DriveMeApp is the data controller of your personal data.
Personal data and purposes of collecting
Depending on the purpose for which we may need to process your data from time to time, we will process on a case-by-case basis certain categories of personal data, which will in general be as follows:
your basic identity data (for example your first and last name, etc.);
your contact details relating to the services that we provide (for example phone number, email address, etc.);
transactions information necessary for the provision of our services (for example, your payment or card data, information on the services you requested, etc.);
connection and geolocation data (how you interact with us from within the App);
commercial information (for example, if you have subscribed to our newsletter),
information about your tastes and preferences; and
any other information you may voluntarily provide us with (for example, through our Customer Support service, etc.).
Remember that, when we ask you to fill in your personal data to afford you access to any functionality or service of the App, we will mark certain fields as mandatory, since these are the minimum that we need to be able to provide the service. Please take into account that, if you decide not to make such data available to us, you may be unable to complete your user registration or may not be able to enjoy those services.
Depending on how you interact with our App, we will process your personal data for the following purposes:
1.To manage your registration as user of the App
If you decide to become a registered user of our App, we need to process your data to identify you as a user of the App and grant you access to it as a registered user. You may cancel your registered user account by uninstalling the App from your device.
2 Riding with us
The DriveMe App enables you to request a ride i with a driver through us. You must provide personal data to use our DriveMe App as a passenger , which we process to provide the given service. Additional voluntary information that may also be provided is marked accordingly (optional).
In the context of this service, the following personal data will be processed in accordance with Article 6(1.)(b) GDPR for the performance of the contract:
First and last name, email address and mobile phone number (master data). Your GPS location data at the time of booking, the start and destination coordinates of your ride, information on your terminal equipment (device ID) and the password you have chosen (in encrypted form) are also processed.
Your profile picture is optional and will be processed only if entered.
You may either enter the personal data (e.g. your name) at the time of registration or we receive it directly from your terminal equipment (e.g. device ID, GPS location data). You approve the transmission of your GPS location data via your terminal equipment’s (smartphone, tablet, etc.) operating system. We need the GPS coordinates of your location so that the vehicle you have ordered can find and collect you.
We will forward your GPS location data, name, phone number and profile picture (if you have provided one) to the driver who has accepted the ride you have booked for identification purposes. The driver can call you after accepting your booking. This enables the driver to inform you of any delays, e.g. traffic jams.
After accepting your order, the driver or partner operator will receive your name and profile picture (if you have provided one) for identification purposes and, in particular, so that she/he/it can determine that the right person is being collected. She/he/it determines this by asking you for your name when you board at the beginning of the ride. The driver cannot see your personal data in her/his DriveMe App after the ride.
It will not be possible for you to request a ride through us if we do not process the mandatory personal data shown above. This is not optional information.
3 Payments
You can pay for rides requested through us either in cash or by using the pay-by-app function (i.e. by credit card or Paypal within the App). By entering your credit card and/or Paypal account details within the App you will be able to pay for your ride without cash through the DriveMe App. We will then debit the amount to your specified means of payment. If your credit card details are provided, they will be transmitted directly to the payment service provider engaged by us via an encrypted connection and without any further disclosure of credit card information to us except for the last four digits of your credit card which are transmitted to us and in a pseudonymized form for security reasons. We store such pseudonymized information for the purposes of identification and verification.
In the context of payment, the following personal data will be processed in accordance with Article 6(1.)(b) GDPR for the performance of the contract:
First and last name, address, start and destination coordinates of your ride, country, language, email address, mobile phone number, credit card key, last four digits of the credit card number, the email address of your PayPal account if applicable, and information about your terminal equipment (device ID, etc.).
We cannot offer you certain means of payment if we do not process these personal data. However, you may always pay in cash directly to the driver without any further involvement of the application.
4 Frauds and non-payment
Since DRIVEME DriveMeApp bears the risk of non-payment in the event that payments made by credit card or Paypal are not honoured, an assessment of the risk of non-payment is made automatically using a software algorithm by a trust third party fraud scoring service, based on a number of personal information, payment means the use of the application and device data, so as to protect DRIVEME DriveMeApp ’s legitimate interests in accordance with 6(1.)(f) of the GDPR.
For this purpose, the following personal data is processed:
First and last name, pick up and drop off addresses of a ride, mobile phone number, email address, payment mean, the last four of a card, the name on the card, expiration dates of the card, the card issuer, the email address of the PayPal account (if applicable), information about the terminal equipment (device type and ID, operating system etc.), the amount of the ride and the DriveMe App version installed on your device.
This personal data is not used or processed for any other purpose. The app’s riding functionality without the pay-by-app function is available to every user, regardless of the fraud prevention system outcome. Accordingly, if you are not offered the pay-by-app function due to the decision made fully automatically based on the score calculated, you may still use the DriveMe App and make payments in cash. If you are unable to pay using non-cash payment means and believe this to be in error, please contact us.
A specially trained employee of DRIVEME DriveMeApp periodically reviews the fraud scoring. Accordingly, the decision is not made fully automatically in such cases.
To protect you against overpaying for rides, the driver’s mobile phone transmits GPS location data to us at short intervals during avehicleride, enabling us to map the entire journey. We do this because we want to ensure the driver does not extend the route intentionally to earn higher remuneration.
If you believe you have paid too much, you may ask us about the route covered after a ride. The processing of your GPS location data takes place for your and our protection against fraudulent drivers and/or passengers on the basis of Article 6(1.)(f) GDPR to protect your and our interests (e.g. protection against overpayments).
5 Customer services
To make it possible to eliminate malfunctions in the DriveMe App, to answer specific customer inquiries about functionality or the riding services and to adapt the DriveMe App to the needs of passengers, the following personal data is processed for the performance of the contract in accordance with Article 6(1.)(b) GDPR:
First and last name, email address, mobile phone number, profile picture (optional entry), your GPS location data at the time of booking, start and destination coordinates of your ride, and information about your terminal equipment (device ID, etc.).
We may also process data rendered anonymous or aggregated data rather than personal data, in cases where such data is deemed sufficient for this purpose.
