The lawful bases for our processing of your personal data

Where it is in our legitimate interest to provide confirmations or updates about products or services we provide you with, such as fulfilling your request for rides, participate in events, or help you with advice and support.

Where you have subscribed to receive an email bulletin such as you will have given consent for us store your contact information and to contact you by subscribing. You canunsubscribe at any time from the email itself or by contacting us.

Where we have legal obligations under UK or EU law, such as fraud prevention, the exercise ofconsumer rights, and under equal opportunity responsibilities.

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.  

However, we will normally process your personal information only:

  • where we have your consent to do so;
  • where the processing is necessary to perform our contract with you; or
  • where the processing is in our legitimate interests or those of a third party and such interests are not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms; and
  • where we have a legal obligation to process your personal information.

Data security and retention

We minimise the amount of personal data we keep about you and the period of time we hold it for. In most cases, we retain records for the length of time that we are legally obliged to do so . In other cases, we apply our retention schedule when we no longer require personal data and ensure its secure deletion or disposal.

We make sure that we don’t collect more personal information than we need in order to carry out our activities and review our practices regularly.

When we use third party services and cloud services to process personal data we take due diligence to make sure that they are reputable and have appropriate data protection practices.

We may change this privacy policy from time to time by updating this page to reflect changes in the law, the type of work we do, and our privacy practices.
