We offer a range of services related to online ground transportation, including products and services through our own websites, mobile apps, emails and text messages ('platforms'). We also do this through our business partners' websites, social media and other platforms. This Notice applies to all the personal data we collect while we're doing this, or when you contact us by email, live chat, phone or post.

Personal data you give us

We can't help you make a booking or request a quote without certain information. When you do either of those things, we ask you for the information we need so we can give you what you want. This is pretty standard stuff and may include your name, age, date and place of birth and contact details (email, address and phone number). It can also include information about your loyalty program number and payment information.

In addition, we collect information from your computer when you use one of our platforms, even if you don't make a booking.

Personal data you give us

We store and use the information that you give us. When you make a booking, we need at least your name, email address, phone number, pick up and drop off address and payment information.

If you get in touch with us (by phone, by email or through social media, for example) we will collect information from you there too.

After your booking, we may ask you to provide a review to help us improve our services, and to help ensure future customers get exactly what they're looking for.

There are also other ways you might give us information. For example, if you're browsing with your mobile device, you can share your current location with us, so we can provide you with the best possible service. To make things easier, you can also open a user account, which lets you review and manage your bookings, as well as saving your personal settings. It also makes it easier to make future bookings.

Personal data you give us about others

You might add someone as an additional passenger, or you might make a booking on behalf of someone else, for example, a friend, family member or colleague. If you do, please make sure that the person knows you're giving us their details, and has accepted the way we handle their personal data (as described in this Notice). This is your responsibility.

Personal data we collect automatically

When you make a booking, we record what platform you made it on, and how you got to our platform (if you came through from another site, for example).

Even if you don't end up making a booking, we may automatically collect some information when you visit our platforms. This may include your IP address, which pages you've visited, which browser you're using, and information about clicks. It might also include information about your computer's operating system, its application version, language settings, device-specific setting and characteristics, and data that identifies your device.
