Privacy Policy
Altralo Technologies, Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the Platform, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
1Overview
We collect only the information necessary to provide and improve our services. We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes. We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data.
2Data We Collect
Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, profile photo, and account credentials.
Identity Verification (Drivers): Government-issued ID, driver's license, vehicle registration, insurance documents, and profile photos for background verification purposes.
Location Data: Real-time GPS location while the app is in use; trip origin and destination addresses stored for trip records.
Transaction Data: Payment method details (stored securely by our payment processor), trip history, fare amounts, and subscription billing records.
Device Information: Device model, OS version, unique device identifiers, IP address, and crash logs.
Usage Data: Pages and features accessed, time spent in-app, and interaction logs used for improving user experience.
Communications: In-app messages, support tickets, and reviews you submit.
3How We Use Your Data
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Platform and its features.
- Match Riders with available Drivers based on location and preferences.
- Process payments and manage subscription billing.
- Verify user identities and conduct background checks on Drivers.
- Send transactional notifications (trip confirmations, receipts, status updates).
- Investigate and resolve disputes, safety incidents, and fraud.
- Comply with legal obligations and respond to law enforcement requests.
- Analyze and improve the performance and features of our Platform.
- Send service-related communications and policy updates.
4Data Sharing
We share your information only in the following circumstances:
Between Riders and Drivers: When a ride is matched, Riders receive the Driver's name, photo, vehicle details, and real-time location. Drivers receive the Rider's name, photo, pickup location, and destination.
Service Providers: We share data with third-party vendors who help us operate the Platform, including payment processors (Stripe), cloud hosting providers, analytics services, and background check companies. These vendors are contractually bound to protect your data.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of users or the public.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
With Your Consent: We may share your data for purposes not described here with your explicit consent.
5Location Data
Location data is core to how Altralo works. We collect:
- Foreground location: When you actively use the app to book or provide rides.
- Background location (Drivers): While Drivers are online and accepting rides. This can be disabled by going offline in the app.
- Trip routes: Stored for safety, dispute resolution, and improving routing accuracy.
You can revoke location permissions at any time in your device settings, though doing so will prevent core app functionality from working.
6Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations:
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account data | Duration of account + 3 years after closure |
| Trip history | 7 years (for tax and legal compliance) |
| Location data | 90 days after trip completion |
| Payment records | 7 years (financial regulation) |
| Support communications | 3 years |
| Device & usage logs | 12 months |
7Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, strict access controls, regular security audits, and intrusion detection systems. Payment card data is never stored on our servers — it is handled directly by our PCI-DSS compliant payment processor.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, contact us immediately.
