Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 May 2024

1. Information We Collect

Account details: your name, phone number, email, city, and profile photo. Verification documents: your CNIC and driving licence (for drivers). Trip data: routes, bookings, ride requests, bids, and reviews. Device data: your push-notification token and, during active rides, your live location.

2. How We Use Information

We use your data to create your account, match passengers with drivers, show ride and driver details, enable in-app chat and live tracking, send ride and notification alerts, verify drivers, and keep the platform safe.

3. Live Location

Location is collected only while you are in an active ride, so passengers and the driver can see the trip in progress. It is used for the live trip view and is not used to track you outside of an active ride.

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. Information may be shared with service providers to operate the app: Cloudinary (image hosting), Google Firebase (push notifications), and our cloud database and cache providers. We share information only as needed to provide the service, comply with the law, or respond to a lawful request from authorities.

5. What Other Users See

When a booking is matched, the driver and passenger can see each other's name, photo, rating, and contact number so they can coordinate the trip. Drivers also display vehicle details. Your CNIC and licence are never shown to other users.

6. Payments

ChalParo does not collect or store any payment or card information. All fares are paid in cash directly between passengers and drivers.

7. Data Security

We protect your data with encrypted connections and access controls. Verification documents are stored securely and used only for review. No system is perfectly secure, so please keep your account credentials private.

8. Data Retention

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, we remove or anonymise your personal data, except where we must keep limited records to meet legal obligations. See our account deletion page for details.

9. Your Rights

You can view and edit your profile in the app, and request deletion of your account and associated data at any time. See how to delete your account.

10. Children

ChalParo is intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
