B. Information We Collect When You Use the Tap2Ride Transportation Inc

Location Information
Tap2Ride Transportation Inc is all about connecting Drivers and Riders. To do this, we need to know where you are. When you open Tap2Ride Transportation Inc app on your mobile device, we receive your location. We may also collect the precise location of your device when the app is running in the foreground or background. If you label certain locations, such as “home” and “work,” we receive that information, too. Your location information is necessary for things like matching Riders with nearby Drivers, determining drop off and pick up locations, and suggesting destinations based on previous trips. Also, if the need ever arises, our Trust & Safety team may use and share location information to help protect the safety of our Users or a member of the public. In addition to the reasons described above, Drivers’ location information and distance traveled is necessary for calculating charges and insurance for Tap2Ride Transportation Inc rides. If you give us permission through your device settings or Tap2Ride Transportation Inc app, we may collect your location while the app is off to identify promotions or service updates in your area.

Device Information
Tap2Ride Transportation Inc receives information from Users’ devices, including IP address, web browser type, mobile operating system version, phone carrier and manufacturer, application installations, device identifiers, mobile advertising identifiers, push notification tokens, and, if you register with your Facebook account, your Facebook identifier.

For security purposes, we may also monitor and/or record the contents of phone calls made on the Tap2Ride Transportation Inc, such as those between Riders and Drivers.

How We Share the Information We Collect

Sharing between Riders and Drivers
Riders and Drivers that have been matched for a ride are able to see basic information about each other, such as names, photo, ratings, and any information they have added to their Profiles. Riders and Drivers who connect their Tap2Ride Transportation Inc. accounts to Facebook will also be able to see their mutual Facebook friends during the ride. Drivers see the pick-up location that the Rider has provided. Riders see a Driver’s vehicle information and real-time location as the Driver approaches the pick-up location. Riders’ ratings of Drivers are shared with Drivers on a weekly basis. 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 permission.
