The Information We Collect

SUMMARY

Sendr Tracing app collects:

• Information that you provide to Sendr, such as when you create your Sendr account.

• Information created when you use our services, such as location, usage and device information.

• Information from other sources, such as Sendr partners and third parties that use Sendr APIs.

The following information is collected by or on behalf of Sendr:

• User profile: We collect information when you create or update your Sendr 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, 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 Sendr account.

• Background check information: We may collect background check information if you sign up to use Sendrs’ services as a driver or delivery partner. 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 Sendrs’ 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.

• User content: We may collect information that you submit when you contact Sendr customer support, provide ratings or compliments for other users, or otherwise contact Sendr.

• Address book or calendar: If you permit the Sendr app to access the address book on your device, we may collect names and contact information from your address book for purposes such as facilitating social interactions through our services. If you permit the Sendr app to access the calendar on your device, we collect calendar information such as event title and description, your response (Yes, No, Maybe), date and time, location, and number of attendees.

2. Information created when you use our services This may include:

   Location Information

Depending on the Sendr 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 delivery partner, Sendr collects location information when the Sendr 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, Sendr collects location information when the Sendr app is running in the foreground. In certain regions, Sendr also collects this information when the Sendr app is running in the background of your device if this collection is enabled through your app settings or device permissions.

• Riders and delivery recipients may use the Sendr app without enabling Sendr to collect their location information. However, this may affect the functionality available on your Sendr app. For example, if you do not enable Sendr 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 Sendr to collect your location information.

       •     Usage information

We collect information about how you interact with our services. This includes information such as access dates and times, app features or pages viewed, app crashes and other system activity, type of browser, and third-party sites or service you were using before interacting with our services.

We enable users to communicate with each other and Sendr through the Sendr apps, websites, and other services. For example, we enable drivers and riders, and delivery partners and recipients, to call or text each other (in some countries, without disclosing their telephone numbers to each other). To provide this service, Sendr receives some information regarding the calls or texts, including the date and time of the call/text, and the content of the communications.

Sendr may share the information we collect:

• For example, if you are a rider, we may share your first name, average rider rating given by drivers, and pickup and/or drop-off locations with drivers. If you share a Sendr pool car trip with another rider, that rider may be told your name and may see your pickup and/or drop-off location.

The rider/delivery 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.

2. At your request

This includes sharing your 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.

This may include, for example, other apps or websites that integrate with our APIs, vehicle suppliers, or services, or those with an API or service with which we integrate, or business partners with whom Sendr may partner with to deliver a promotion, a contest or a specialized service.

3. With the general public when you submit content to a public forum

We love hearing from our users -- including through public forums such as Sendr blogs, social media, and certain features on our network. When you communicate with us through those channels, your communications may be viewable by the public.

4. With the owner of Sendr accounts that you may use

If you use a profile associated with another party we may share your trip information with the owner of that profile. This occurs, for example, if you are:

• A driver using an account owned by a partner transportation company (registered Fleet).

• A rider who takes a trip arranged by a friend or under a Family Profile.

Information Retention And Deletion

SUMMARY

Sendr retains user profile and other information for as long as you maintain your Sendr account.

Sendr retains transaction, location, usage and other information for 7 years in connection with regulatory, tax, insurance or other requirements in the places in which it operates. Sendr thereafter deletes or anonymizes such information in accordance with applicable laws.

If you withdraw consent to the collection or use of personal information for optional features, such as features that use your calendar or address book, Sendr deletes such personal information.

Users may request deletion of their accounts at any time. Following such request, Sendr deletes the information that it is not required to retain, and restricts access to or use of any information it is required to retain.

Sendr requires user profile information in order to provide its services, and retains such information for as long you maintain your Sendr account.

Sendr retains certain information, including transaction, location, device and usage information, for a minimum of 7 years in connection with regulatory, tax, insurance and other requirements in the places in which it operates. Once such information is no longer necessary to provide Sendrs’ services, enable customer support, enhance the user experience or other operational purposes, Sendr takes steps to prevent access to or use of such information for any purpose other than compliance with these requirements or for purposes of safety, security and fraud prevention and detection.

  

You may request deletion of your account at any time through the Privacy Settings in the Sendr app, or via Sendrs’ website.

  

Following such request, Sendr deletes the information that it is not required to retain. In certain circumstances, Sendr may be unable to delete your account, such as if there is an outstanding credit on your account or an unresolved claim or dispute. Upon resolution of the issue preventing deletion, Sendr will delete your account as described above.

  

Sendr may also retain certain information if necessary for its legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing users' safety and security. For example, if Sendr shuts down a user's account because of unsafe behaviour or security incidents, Sendr may retain certain information about that account to prevent that user from opening a new Sendr account in the future.

  

Choice And Transparency

SUMMARY

Sendr provides means for you to see and control the information that Sendr collects, including through:

• in-app privacy settings

• device permissions

• in-app ratings pages

• marketing opt-outs

You may also request that Sendr provide you with explanation, copies or correction of your data.

A. PRIVACY SETTINGS

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

       •     Location Information

• Sendr 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, Sendrs’ collection of rider location information at any time through the Privacy Settings menu in the Sendr app, or via the settings on your mobile device. If you disable the device location services on your device, your use of the Sendr app will be affected. For example, you will need to manually enter your pick up or drop-off locations. In addition, location information will be collected from the driver during your trip and linked to your account, even if you have not enabled Sendr to collect your location information.

       •     Share Live Location (Riders)

o    If you have enabled the device location services on your mobile device, you may also enable Sendr 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. o    You may enable/disable location sharing with your driver at any time through the Privacy Settings menu in the Sendr app. You may use the Sendr 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 o             Sendr provides users with trip status notifications and updates related to your account. These notifications are a necessary part of using the Sendr app, and cannot be disabled. However, you may choose the method by which you receive these notifications through the Privacy Settings menu in the Sendr app.

• Notifications: Discounts and News o           You may enable Sendr to send you push notifications about discounts and news from Sendr. You may enable/disable these notifications at any time through the Privacy Settings menu in the Sendr app.

• Address Book / Contacts o   You may enable Sendr to periodically sync with the address book / contacts information on your mobile device, and store your contacts information on our servers. This includes the names, phone numbers, emails addresses and other information that you store in your address book contacts. This information is necessary to enable features such as fare splitting, sharing your trip status, and make personalized recommendations for you and other riders. o            You may enable/disable contacts syncing at any time via the Privacy Settings menu in the Sendr app. If you disable contacts syncing, you will not be able to use features that use your contacts information.

• Calendar Syncing o You may enable Sendr to access and store the calendar data on your mobile device. Your calendar data might include event titles; responses (Yes, No, Maybe); start and end time of event; associated location descriptions; and number of attendees. We use this information to suggest destinations based on your calendar events and to customize your Sendr experience. o You may enable/disable Calendar Syncing at any time through the Calendar Shortcuts menu under the Settings menu of the Sendr app. If you disable Calendar Syncing, you will not be able to use features that use your calendar information.

  

B. DEVICE PERMISSIONS

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 Sendr 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 Sendr app seeks before you first use the app, and your use of the app constitutes your consent.

  

C. RATINGS LOOK-UP

After every trip, drivers and riders are able to rate each other, as well as give feedback on how the trip went. This two-way system holds everyone accountable for their behaviour.

Accountability helps create a respectful, safe environment for both drivers and riders.

Your rider rating is available in the main menu of the Sendr rider app.

Your driver rating is available in the Ratings tab of the Sendr Partner app.

  

D. EXPLANATIONS, COPIES AND CORRECTION

You may request that Sendr:

• Provide a detailed explanation regarding the information Sendr has collected about you and how it uses that information.

• Receive a copy of the information Sendr has collected about you.

• Request correction of any inaccurate information that Sendr has about you.

You can make these requests by contacting Sendr.

You can also edit the name, phone number and email address associated with your account through the Settings menu in Sendrs’ apps. You can also look up your trips, orders and deliveries history in the Sendr apps.

  

E. MARKETING OPT-OUTS
