Partner driver
and when you use the Onewaytaxie Partner App. More details about how your information is
collected are listed

Your rider application and account
set up

Onewaytaxie
Partner Program, we ask you to provide information about yourself including your name,
contact details, vehicle
type, date of birth, address, your right to work, and whether you have any unspent criminal
convictions.
- During the application
process, we (or a third
party) will ask you to provide further information and documents, such as a copy of your

address for criminal background checks and right to work checks. If you are required by
applicable law to have a
licence or insurance for your vehicle type, we’ll also ask you to provide evidence that
you’re compliant with

When you request to use a
location-based
function in the Onewaytaxie, for example when you want to be online to receive orders,
we
access your location from your device in order to provide this functionality. This
includes when you opt to
use these functions whilst your status is set to “”offline” i.e. not available for
orders. If you do not
want us to view your location when you are “offline”, please do not request these
functions.

When your status is set to
“online” (i.e.
available for orders) on the Onewaytaxie, we intermittently collect your location data.
If
you do not want us to view your location, please change your rider status to offline,
but please note that
you will need to be online for the Onewaytaxie to allow you to be offered and/or
complete
orders.

USE OF YOUR INFORMATION AND WHY
- We will only process the data
we collect about you
if there is a reason for doing so, and if that reason is permitted under data protection
law. We will have a
lawful basis for processing your information if: we need to process your information for the
performance of a
contract with you, or at your request before we enter into a contract; we have your consent;
we have a
justifiable reason for processing your data; it is in the public interest for us to process
your data; or we are
under a legal obligation to do so.
-
We also process your data
where we have a
justifiable reason for doing so. We have listed these reasons below:
To communicate with you
- to help you to
complete your partner
application;
- to contact you for
your feedback on your
rider experience;
- to inform you about
opportunities to make
more money in connection with the services you provide, such as by riding at certain
times or by
referring your contacts as riders
For our onboarding and
delivery operations
- to perform right to
work, driving licence
and insurance checks, and to audit and store evidence of these, to ensure that you
are legally compliant
when providing the services and to comply with our internal policies, protect our
reputation and
mitigate our legal risks
- to make the most
efficient decisions when
offering you orders based on factors like your location, and your “Statistics” data.

describes this as profiling
- to enable you to use
or benefit from an
insurance policy

and effectively,
including to fix any bugs or other technical issues in the Rider App using technical
information
relating to your device

the efficiency of
our services, for example to understand from your data (such as your order progress

or damage to Onewaytaxie, and use this data to responsibly design, develop and test new tools and
processes to improve
our business, systems and services;
- to analyse data about
your rides to make
certain assumptions about the types of promotional offers that may be particularly
beneficial for you
when providing services to Onewaytaxie. For example, this might result in us sending
you deals

as profiling;
- to interact with you
(such as via
communications or Partner App functionality) to encourage Onewaytaxie’ network
efficiency based on
our analysis of your services;
To protect Onewaytaxie
- for the exercise or
defence of legal
claims and to exercise and protect the rights of Onewaytaxie, Partners, customers,
