- Create and update your account.
- Verify your identity.

- Enable features to personalize your MiDrivA account, such as creating bookmarks for your favorite places, and to enable quick access to previous destinations.
- Enable Accessibilityfeatures that make it easier for users with disabilities to use our services, such as those which enable deaf or hard-of-hearing drivers to alert their riders of their disabilities, allow only text messages from riders, and to receive flashing trip request notifications instead of sound notifications.

Safety and security
We use your data to help maintain the safety, security and integrity of our services and users. This includes, for example:
- Screening drivers and delivery partners prior to enabling their use of our services and at subsequent intervals, including through reviews of background checks where permitted by law, to prevent use of our services by unsafe drivers.
- Using information from drivers’ devices to identify unsafe driving behavior such as speeding or harsh braking and acceleration, and to raise awareness among drivers regarding such behaviors.
- our Real-Time ID Check feature, which prompts drivers to share a selfie before going online. This helps ensure that the driver using the app matches the MiDrivA account we have on file, preventing fraud and helping to protect other users.
- Using device, location, profile, usage and other information to prevent, detect, and combat fraud or unsafe activities. This includes processing of such information, in certain countries, to identify practices or patterns that indicate fraud or risk of safety incidents. This may also include information from third parties. In certain cases such incidents may lead to deactivation by means of an automated decision making process. Users in the EU have the right to object to this type of processing; see Section II.I.1.d for more information
- Using user ratings to encourage improvement by affected users, and as grounds for deactivating users with ratings below a certain minimum as may be required in their region.

SUMMARY
MiDrivA retains user profile and other information for as long as you maintain your MiDrivA account.
MiDrivA retains transaction, location, usage and other information for 5 years in connection with regulatory, tax, insurance or other requirements in the places in which it operates. MiDrivA thereafter deletes or anonymizes such information in accordance with applicable laws.
If you withdraw consent to the collection or use of personal information for optional features, such as features that use your calendar or address book, MiDrivA deletes such personal information.
Users may request deletion of their accounts at any time. Following such request, MiDrivA deletes the information that it is not required to retain, and restricts access to or use of any information it is required to retain.
MiDrivA requires user profile information in order to provide its services, and retains such information for as long you maintain your MiDrivA account.
MiDrivA retains certain information, including transaction, location, device and usage information, for a minimum of 7 years in connection with regulatory, tax, insurance and other requirements in the places in which it operates. Once such information is no longer necessary to provide MiDrivA’s services, enable customer support, enhance the user experience or other operational purposes, MiDrivA takes steps to prevent access to or use of such information for any purpose other than compliance with these requirements or for purposes of safety, security and fraud prevention and detection.
You may request deletion of your account at any time through the Privacy Settings in the MiDrivA app, or via MiDrivA’s website (riders and delivery recipients “can’t delete my account”; drivers and delivery partners contact support@midriva.com).
Following such request, MiDrivA deletes the information that it is not required to retain. In certain circumstances, MiDrivA may be unable to delete your account, such as if there is an outstanding credit on your account or an unresolved claim or dispute. Upon resolution of the issue preventing deletion, MiDrivA will delete your account as described above.
MiDrivA may also retain certain information if necessary for its legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing users’ safety and security. For example, if MiDrivA shuts down a user’s account because of unsafe behavior or security incidents, MiDrivA may retain certain information about that account to prevent that user from opening a new MiDrivA account in the future.

And these platforms have different permission systems for obtaining your consent. The iOS platform will alert you the first time the MiDrivA app wants permission to access certain types of data and will let you consent (or not consent) to that request. Android devices will notify you of the permissions that the MiDrivA app seeks before you first use the app, and your use of the app constitutes your consent.

After every trip, drivers and riders are able to rate each other, as well as give feedback on how the trip went. This two-way system holds everyone accountable for their behavior. Accountability helps create a respectful, safe environment for both drivers and riders.

COOKIE POLICY GLOBAL
Effective Date: 10 September, 2018
We and our affiliates, third parties, and other partners use cookies and other identification technologies on our websites, mobile applications, email communications, advertisements, and other online services (collectively, the “Services”) for a number of purposes, including: authenticating users, remembering user preferences and settings, determining the popularity of content, delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, analyzing site traffic and trends, and generally understanding the online behaviors and interests of people who interact with our Services. You can read more here about the types of cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can exercise your choices.
Cookies and Related Technologies Overview
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser or device by websites, apps, online media, and advertisements that are used to remember your browser or device during and across website visits. We also utilize other technologies that may identify you or the devices you use. For example, “pixel tags” (also called beacons) are small blocks of code installed on (or called by) a webpage, app, or advertisement which can retrieve certain information about your device and browser, including for example: device type, operating system, browser type and version, website visited, time of visit, referring website, IP address, advertising identifiers, and other similar information, including the small text file (the cookie) that uniquely identifies the device. Pixels provide the means by which third parties can set and read browser cookies from a domain that they do not themselves operate and collect information about visitors to that domain, typically with the permission of the domain owner. “Local storage” refers generally to other places on a browser or device where information can be stored by websites, ads, or third parties (such as HTML5 local storage and browser cache). “Software Development Kits” (also called SDKs) function like pixels and cookies, but operate in the mobile app context where pixels and cookies cannot always function. The primary app developer can install pieces of code (the SDK) from partners in the app, and thereby allow the partner to collect certain information about user interaction with the app and information about the user device and network information.
Advertising Synchronization & Relevancy
In order to facilitate the most relevant ads possible, MiDrivA works with various service providers who assist us in delivering similar ads to end users across devices and platforms. For example, we work with social media advertising services to provide you with relevant ads based on your MiDrivA activity through their media channels. We may also use service providers to provide you with a similar ad on a mobile website or mobile application as with a traditional website ad. See below for more information on your choices to limit these types of advertising.
