This Privacy Policy explains how Taxygo ("Taxygo", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the Taxygo mobile applications, website, fleet/company portal, and related services (collectively, the "Platform").

The Platform may collect technical information needed to operate, secure, troubleshoot and improve the service, such as device information, application information, authentication information, logs, IP address, and security/audit records, where applicable.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • Create and manage user accounts.

3. Location and Real-Time Tracking

Location information is an important part of Taxygo's transportation service. Passenger location may be used to identify pickup points and facilitate a booking. Driver location may be used to dispatch trips, display the approaching vehicle, support navigation, monitor active trips, provide customer support, and maintain operational and safety records.

Location handling will depend on the permissions enabled on your device and the functionality you use.

4. Sharing of Information

We may share relevant information with:

  • Drivers and transportation providers: information necessary to fulfil a booking and provide transportation.
  • Taxi companies and fleet operators: information necessary for fleet management, trip operations, support and settlement.

  • Technology and service providers: hosting, maps, notifications, communications, analytics, security and other services used to operate the Platform.
  • Customer support and authorized personnel: information required to investigate and resolve issues.
  • Government and regulatory authorities: where disclosure is required or permitted by applicable law or lawful official process.

We do not intend to sell personal information as a standalone commercial product.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss or misuse. Depending on the system component, measures may include encrypted communications, secure authentication, OTP verification, role-based access, administrative controls, audit logs, secure APIs, database protection, backups and security monitoring.

No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Platform, maintain business and operational records, resolve disputes, support safety and security, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and enforce agreements. Specific retention periods may vary according to the type of information and applicable requirements.

7. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including requesting access, correction, deletion, restriction or other lawful controls. You may also control certain device permissions, such as location and notifications, through your device settings. Some information may need to be retained where required for legal, safety, security, accounting, dispute-resolution or regulatory purposes.

8. Children's Privacy

The Platform is intended for users who are legally permitted to use taxi transportation and the Platform under applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable legal requirements.

9. Third-Party Services

The Platform may rely on third-party services such as mapping, payment, hosting, communications, notification, analytics and security providers. Those providers may process information according to their own terms and privacy policies. Their processing may be necessary for particular Platform features.

10. International or Cross-Border Processing

Some service providers supporting Taxygo may process information from locations outside Kuwait. Where this occurs, we will seek to use appropriate safeguards and comply with applicable legal requirements concerning personal information and cross-border processing.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Platform, applicable law, technology or our practices.
