This policy applies to the Hub Drives Chauffeur App on Android and iOS. It covers staff/driver accounts used to accept bookings, navigate, communicate, and share live trip location with customers.
When you have an active trip, we collect precise location from your device, including GPS coordinates and related metadata (such as speed, direction, accuracy, and time).
We use this location to:
Location is collected only during an active trip and stops when the trip ends. We do not use your location for advertising.
On Android, while a trip is active, the App uses a foreground service and displays an ongoing notification (for example: “Live trip in progress — sharing location with customer”).
On iOS, if you grant permission, location may continue during an active trip when the App is in the background so the customer can keep tracking the ride. Background location is used only for active trips, not when you are off duty.
Before requesting location access, the App shows an in-app disclosure explaining that your location will be shared with the customer during trips.
On Android, the App does not request access to your camera, microphone, or photo library. The App does not request Android “background location” permission. We do not sell your personal information.
We use personal information to:
Legal bases (where applicable, e.g. UAE/GDPR-style requests): performance of contract, legitimate interests (operating a ride platform safely), legal obligation, and consent (where required for location/notifications).
We may share information with:
| Recipient | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Customers | Live trip location and trip-related updates for their booking |
| Fleet/vendor partners | If your account is linked to a vendor, operational trip and profile data |
| Cloud & infrastructure providers | Hosting, storage, notifications, maps |
| Google Maps Platform | Maps, directions, and location-related map services |
| Google Firebase | Push notification delivery |
| Authorities | When required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security |
We do not sell personal information.
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including:
You may request account deletion through the App (where available) or by contacting us.
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure token storage on device, and access controls on our servers. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
Location controls:
The App is not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
Your information may be processed in the United Arab Emirates and other countries where our servers and service providers are located. We take steps to protect data in accordance with this policy and applicable law.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version at the same URL and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
