Privacy Policy
Your privacy and trust are our highest priorities. Learn how FlexWheeler collects, safeguards, and respects your personal information.
1. Privacy Overview
At FlexWheeler, we believe that transparency is essential for building trust. This Privacy Policy describes how FlexWheeler Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, processes, and protects your personal data when you use our mobile application, website, and ride-hailing services.
Whether you are hailing a solo ride, participating in per-seat carpooling, or utilizing Women-to-Women verified rides, we ensure your personal information remains encrypted, secure, and under your control.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information required to provide reliable transportation and safety verification:
- Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, profile photo, and password.
- Identity Verification Data: Government ID details (CNIC/Passport) for driver background checks and Women-to-Women safety verification.
- Payment Information: Encrypted card tokens, digital wallet authorizations, and transaction history.
- Location Data: Precise GPS coordinates collected from your device while the app is running in the foreground or background during an active trip.
- Communications: In-app chat messages and masked phone calls between riders and drivers.
3. How We Use Your Information
Your data is used strictly for the following operational purposes:
Ride Matching & Routing
Connecting you with nearby drivers, calculating optimal routes, and matching per-seat carpoolers.
Safety Monitoring
Real-time trip tracking, SOS emergency response, and route deviation anomaly detection.
FlexRewards Loyalty
Calculating earned points, multiplier tiers (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum), and redeeming ride credits.
Customer Support
Resolving fare disputes, lost item inquiries, and technical support requests.
4. Location Data & Real-Time Tracking
Location data is essential for the core functionality of FlexWheeler. We track your location to determine pickup points, display driver ETA, navigate destination routes, and allow you to share live trip status with family.
You may disable location permissions in your device settings; however, doing so will prevent you from requesting rides through the app.
6. Data Security & Encryption
We implement industry-standard security measures, including TLS/SSL encryption for data in transit and AES-256 encryption for data at rest. Payment card details are never stored on FlexWheeler servers and are handled by PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processors.
