Privacy Policy

1 Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how the Taxi4U team ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your data is handled securely in accordance with Google Play Developer Policies.

2 Information We Collect

Account Information: To use Taxi4U, you are required to create an account. We collect your email address and other registration details to identify you and manage your account.

Location Data: As a transportation service, the App requires access to your precise location to connect you with drivers and provide accurate trip tracking.

Background Location: For drivers, Taxi4U collects location data to enable trip matching and dispatching even when the app is closed or not in use. This ensures you receive ride requests based on your real-time proximity. This collection occurs only when you are toggled "Online" and is accompanied by a persistent notification.

Usage Data: We automatically collect information via Google Analytics for Firebase, including device model, OS version, and app interaction events.

3 Push Notifications

We may send you push notifications to provide trip updates, security alerts, and relevant service information. You can manage your notification preferences or opt-out at any time through your device settings.

4 How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data to:

• Create and maintain your user account.
• Facilitate transportation services and trip coordination.
• Send necessary service notifications and updates.
• Respond to customer support requests and improve app stability.

5 Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal data. Data is shared only with:

• Service Providers: Google Services (Firebase, AdMob) for analytics, infrastructure, and notification delivery.
• Legal Compliance: If required by law or to protect the safety of our users.

6 Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your account information as long as your account is active. You have the right to request the deletion of your account and all associated personal data at any time.
