Introduction

When you use Kazi, you trust us with your personal data. We’re committed to keeping that trust. That starts with helping you understand our privacy practices. This notice describes the personal data (“data”) we collect, how it’s used and shared, and your choices regarding this data. We recommend that you read this along with our privacy overview, which highlights key points about our privacy practices.

A. Scope

This notice applies to users of Kazi’s services anywhere in the world, including users of Kazi’s apps, websites, features, or other services. This notice describes how Kazi and its affiliates collect and use data. This notice applies to all Kazi users globally, unless they use a service covered by a separate privacy notice, such as Kazi Freight or Careem. This notice specifically applies to:

• Riders: individuals who request or receive transportation and related services via their Kazi account.
• Drivers: individuals who provide transportation to Riders individually or through partner transportation companies.
• Order recipients: individuals who request or receive food or other products and services for delivery or pick-up via their Kazi Eats, Cornershop or Postmates account. This includes individuals who use guest checkout features to access delivery or pick-up services without creating and/or logging into their account.
• Delivery persons: individuals who provide delivery services via Kazi Eats, Cornershop or Postmates.
• Guest Users: individuals who receive ride and delivery services ordered by other Kazi account owners, including those who receive services arranged by Kazi Health, Kazi Central, Kazi Direct or Kazi for Business customers (collectively, “Enterprise Customers”), or by friends, family members or other individual account owners.

This notice also governs Kazi’s other collections of data in connection with its services. For example, we may collect the contact information of owners or employees of restaurants or other merchants on the Kazi Eats, Cornershop or Postmates platforms; the contact information of individuals that manage and use accounts owned by Enterprise Customers; or data of individuals who start but do not complete their applications to be drivers or delivery persons. All those subject to this notice are referred to as “users” in this notice. Our privacy practices are subject to applicable laws in the places in which we operate. This means that we engage in the practices described in this notice in a particular country or region only if permitted under the laws of those places.

B. Data controller and transfer

Kazi. is the data controller for the data collected in connection with use of Kazi’s services everywhere else. Kazi. is the data controller for the data collected in connection with use of Kazi’s services everywhere else. Kazi operates, and processes personal data, globally; wherever and whenever you travel, your data travels with you so we can offer you a seamless experience. We also respect your data protection rights whether you are in your home country or elsewhere. This means that we may transfer personal data to countries other than your home country in order to provide our services in a different country at your request. We may also transfer personal data to another country if that is necessary to respond to a customer support request that you submitted outside your region. And trip/order histories may be accessed by users in another country after they have left the country where services were rendered. Because our services involve multiple users at the same time, limited personal data may be accessible to the other user in another country. We do so in order to fulfill our agreements with all of our users, or based on users’ instructions or prior consent, adequacy decisions for the relevant countries, or other transfer mechanisms as may be available under applicable law, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses. We may also transfer data to other countries in order to respond to a request for personal data from a law enforcement agency. To provide additional safeguards to these data transfers, Kazi applies a robust internal procedure for processing these requests. Kazi only discloses personal data to law enforcement agencies in a manner that is consistent with the regulatory requirements of applicable laws, such as the GDPR. To help provide equivalent data protection wherever you use our services, Kazi has implemented the following measures across the globe:

• policies and procedures to limit access to, and the processing of personal data for defined purposes;
• specific training of personnel responsible for managing personal data;
• a government data access policy that refuses government access to data, except when disclosure is mandated by applicable laws including the EU GDPR, there is imminent risk of serious harm to individuals, or consent is obtained;
• robust protection of data while it is in transit between Kazi apps and our servers, and when the data is processed on our servers. This includes encryption and the use of pseudonymized data to help protect users’ full identity against unauthorized disclosure.

For your convenience, the exercise of your data protection rights can be directed to Kazi via any of the designated channels mentioned above, and will be handled centrally on behalf of the relevant controller. Questions, comments, and complaints about Kazi’s data practices can be submitted here. You may also use this form to submit a question to Kazi’s Data Protection Officer and to ask us for a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses or other transfer mechanisms in place for the data processing activity of your inquiry.

Data collections and uses

A. The data we collect

• provided by users to Kazi, such as during account creation
• created during use of our services, such as location, app usage, and device data
• from other sources, such as other users or account owners, business partners, vendors, insurance and financial solution providers, and governmental authorities

Kazi collects the following data: 1. Data provided by users. This includes:

• User profile information: We collect data when users create or update their Kazi accounts, or place orders via guest checkout features. This may include their name, email, phone number, login name and password, address, profile picture, payment or banking information (including related payment verification information), driver’s license and other government issued documents (which may include identification numbers as well as birth date, gender, and photo). This also includes vehicle or insurance information of drivers and delivery persons, emergency contact information, user settings, and evidence of health or fitness to provide services using Kazi apps.
• Background check information (drivers and delivery persons): This includes information submitted during the driver/delivery person application process, such as driver history or criminal record (where permitted by law), license status, known aliases and prior addresses, and right to work. This information may be collected by an authorized vendor on Kazi’s behalf.
• Identity verification photos: This includes photos of users (such as, selfies) and/or their government issued identifications (such as, driver’s license or passports). Such photos may be used to verify a user’s identity, such as through facial verification technologies. Please see the section titled “How we use personal data” for more information regarding how user photos are used for safety and security purposes, including identity verification.
• Demographic data: We may collect demographic data about users, such as birth date/age, gender or occupation, when required for certain Kazi services or programs, such as Kazi Cash, alcohol deliveries or safety features that allow women users to set a preference to provide or receive services to/from other women (“Women Rider Preference”).

We may also infer demographic data from other data collected from users. For example, we may infer a user’s gender based on their first name to enable safety features, such as the Women Rider Preference, or to display personalized ads for third party products or services. See the section titled “How we use personal data” below for more information. We may also collect demographic data through user surveys.

• User content: We collect the data submitted by users when they contact Kazi customer support (including at Kazi Greenlight Hubs or via phone chat or video conferencing tools), provide ratings or feedback for other users, restaurants or merchants, or otherwise contact Kazi. This may include photographs, or audio or video recordings submitted by users in connection with a customer support request. This also includes metadata relating to the method you use to communicate with Kazi. The contents of photos and recordings submitted by users are subject to Kazi’s Community Guidelines.

In certain jurisdictions, users can record the audio and/or video of their trips through an in-app feature or using a dashcam. In app recordings are encrypted and stored on users’ devices, and are only shared with Kazi if submitted by the users in connection with safety incidents. Please see here for more information.

• Travel information: We collect travel itinerary information, including times and dates of upcoming flight, lodging or car rental reservations, from users of our Kazi Travel feature. We collect such information: (i) when users manually input their information into their Kazi Travel itinerary; or (2) if authorized by users to access their Gmail accounts, from travel-related email confirmations. If so authorized, Kazi will only access users’ Gmail accounts to collect travel itinerary information to enable the Kazi Travel feature, and will adhere to Google’s API Services User Data Policy, including the limitations on use of data collected from users’ Gmail accounts.

2. Data created during use of our services. This includes:

• Location data (driver and delivery person): We collect precise or approximate location data from drivers’ and delivery persons’ mobile devices when the Kazi app is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen) or background (app open but not on-screen).
• Location data (riders and order recipients). We collect precise or approximate location information from riders’ and order recipients’ mobile devices if they enable us to do so via their device settings.

Kazi collects such data from the time a ride or order is requested until it is finished, and any time the app is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen). See “Choice and transparency” below for information on how riders and order recipients can enable precise location data collection. Riders and order recipients may use the Kazi apps without enabling collection of location data from their mobile devices. However, this may affect certain features in the Kazi apps. For example, a rider who has not enabled precise location data will have to manually enter their pickup address. In addition, precise location data collected from a driver’s device during a trip is linked to the rider’s account, even if the rider has not enabled precise location data to be collected from their device. This data is used for purposes such as receipt generation, customer support, fraud detection, insurance, and litigation.

• Transaction information: We collect transaction information related to the use of our services, including the type of services requested or provided; trip or order details (such as date and time, requested pick-up and drop off addresses, distance traveled and items ordered); and payment transaction information (such as a restaurant’s or merchant’s name and location, amount charged, and payment method). We also associate a user’s name with that of anyone who uses their promotion code.
• Usage data: We collect data about how users interact with our services. This includes access dates and times, app features or pages viewed, browser type, and app crashes and other system activity.
• Device data: We collect data about the devices used to access our services, including the hardware models, device IP address or other unique device identifiers, operating systems and versions, software, preferred languages, advertising identifiers, device motion data, and mobile network data.
• Communications data: We collect data regarding phone, text or in-app communications between users that are enabled through Kazi’s apps. This includes date and time, as well as the content of text or in-app messages. We may also collect the content of phone calls solely where users are notified in advance that the call may be recorded.

3. Data from other sources. These include:

• users participating in our referral programs. For example, when a user refers another person, we receive the referred person’s data from that user.
• Kazi account owners who request services for or on behalf of other users (such as friends or family members), or who enable other users to request or receive services through their business accounts (such as owners of Kazi Health, Kazi Central, Kazi Direct or Kazi for Business accounts).
• users or others providing information in connection with claims or disputes.
• Kazi business partners through which users create or access their Kazi account, such as payment providers, social media services, or apps or websites that use Kazi’s APIs or whose APIs Kazi uses.
• Kazi business partners in connection with debit or credit cards issued by a financial institution in partnership with Kazi to the extent disclosed in the terms and conditions for the card.
• vendors who help us verify users’ identity, background information, and eligibility to work, or who screen users in connection with sanctions, anti-money laundering, or know-your-customer requirements.

• to enhance the safety and security of our users and services
• for customer support
• for research and development
• to enable communications between users
• for marketing and advertising
• to send non-marketing communications to users
• in connection with legal proceedings

Kazi does not sell or share user data with third parties for purposes of their direct marketing, except with users’ consent. For your convenience, we’ve provided a visual summary of the data we collect and how we use it here. We use the data we collect: 1. To provide our services. Kazi uses data to provide, personalize, maintain, and improve our services. This includes using data to:

• create/update accounts.
• enable transportation, delivery and other services/features, such as:
• using location data to navigate rider pick-ups and order drop-offs, calculate ETAs, and track the progress of rides or deliveries.
• features that involve data sharing, such as sharing driver first name and vehicle information with riders to facilitate pick-ups, user profile and trip details for ETA sharing and fare splitting, and user ratings and compliments.
• match available drivers and delivery persons to users requesting services. Users can be matched based on availability, location/proximity, user settings/preferences and other factors such as likelihood to accept a trip based on their past behavior or preferences. Please see here for further information about our matching process.
• features that facilitate use of our services by those with disabilities.
• features that involve account linking, such as linking of email to create Kazi Travel itineraries and linking of rewards programs to enable partnership benefits (such as with Marriott Bonvoy).

• enable dynamic pricing, in which the price of a ride, or the delivery fee for Kazi Eats orders, is determined based on factors such as estimated time and distance, predicted route, estimated traffic, and the current number of users requesting or providing services.
• process payments.
• personalize users’ accounts. For example, we may present an Kazi Eats user with personalized restaurant or food recommendations based on their prior orders.
• facilitate insurance, vehicle, invoicing, or financing solutions.
• provide users with trip or delivery updates, generate receipts, and inform them of changes to our terms, services, or policies.
• perform necessary operations to maintain our services, including to troubleshoot software bugs and operational problems.

Kazi performs the above activities on the grounds that they are necessary to fulfill the terms of our agreements with users, or on the grounds that they are necessary for purposes of Kazi’s and its users’ legitimate interests. 2. Safety and security. We use data to help maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our services and users. This includes:

• verifying users’ identity and eligibility to provide transportation or deliveries, including through reviews of background checks, to help prevent use of our services by unsafe drivers and/or riders.

In certain regions, this includes Kazi’s Real-Time ID Check feature, which prompts drivers and delivery persons to share a selfie before going online to help ensure that the driver or delivery person using the app matches the Kazi account we have on file. We may also use this feature for other verification purposes such as verifying change of bank account information or regaining account access. In addition, we may use facial recognition technology to process user profile photographs, identification photographs, or other user-submitted photographs to prevent identity-borrowing or use of our services by unauthorized drivers or delivery people. We may also use selfies to verify that users are wearing masks, helmets or other safety gear through the use of object verification technology. In some countries, riders may be required to verify their identity to use cash and certain other payment methods. In such cases, Kazi allows riders to provide their ID number and/or a photo of their identification card to complete such verifications. Please see here for more information about rider identity verification. Similarly, order recipients may be required to provide their age and an image of their government issued identification to verify their eligibility to order and receive alcohol deliveries. Please see here for more information about order recipient identity verification.

• using data from drivers’ or delivery persons’ devices to detect unsafe driving behavior such as speeding or harsh braking and acceleration, and to inform them of safer driving practices. We also use data from delivery persons’ devices to verify the type of vehicles they used to provide deliveries.
• using driver location information, and communications between riders and drivers, to identify cancellation fees earned or induced through fraud. For example, if we determine that a driver is delaying a rider pickup in order to induce a cancellation, we will not charge the rider a cancellation fee and will adjust the amounts paid to the driver to omit such a fee. To object to such an adjustment, please contact Kazi customer support.
• using device, location, user profile, usage, and other data to prevent, detect, and combat other types of fraud fraud. This includes identifying fraudulent accounts or uses of our services, preventing use of our services by unauthorized drivers or delivery persons, verifying user identities in connection with certain payment methods, and preventing and combating unauthorized access to users’ accounts. In some cases, such as when a user is determined to be abusing Kazi’s referral program or has submitted fraudulent documents, such behavior may result in automatic deactivation, or in the European Union or where otherwise required by law, deactivation after human review. To object to such a deactivation, please contact Kazi customer support.
• using user ratings, reported incidents, and other feedback to encourage compliance with our Community Guidelines and as grounds for deactivating users with low ratings or who otherwise violated such guidelines in certain countries. In the European Union or where otherwise required by law, such deactivation occurs only after human review and/or the possibility to appeal. For more information about how ratings are determined and used, please see here for rider ratings, here for driver ratings, and here for delivery person ratings. To object to such a deactivation, please contact Kazi customer support.
• using driver data (such as location, ratings and gender where legally permitted) and rider data (such as ratings, origin and destination) to help avoid pairings of users that may result in increased risk of conflict (for instance, because one user previously gave the other a one-star rating).
• sharing user name, location, phone number, vehicle details and other relevant information with third-party companies that support the management and de-escalation of interpersonal conflicts that may occur between users while on a trip or in the process of making a delivery.

With consent Kazi may share a user’s data other than as described in this notice if we notify the user and they consent to the sharing. E. Data retention and deletion Kazi retains user data for as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Kazi retains user data to provide its services and comply with its legal obligations. Kazi retains user data for as long as necessary for the purposes described above. The period for which we retain user data is determined by the type of data, the category of user to whom the data relates, and the purposes for which we collected the data. The length for which Kazi retains user data may further be determined by legal and regulatory requirements, purposes of safety, security, and fraud prevention, or by issues relating to the user’s account such as an outstanding credit or an unresolved claim or dispute. For example:

• We retain user data of riders and order recipients that is processed in order to provide our services, such as the user profile information and credentials, for the lifetime of the user’s account.
• We retain certain categories of users for a maximum of 7 years regardless of the lifetime of the user’s account, such as location data used to calculate the fee of the trip to comply with Tax regulations.
• We retain certain categories of data of all users for a period unrelated to the lifetime of the user’s account, to avoid fraudulent use of the app. The period for which the data is retained will be determined by the necessity of the data for purposes of safety, security, and fraud prevention, as well as legal and regulatory requirements. Examples include incomplete driver applications, which are retained for 1 year, and rejected driver applications and customer service communications on safety incidents, which are retained for 7 years.
• Pursuant to legal and regulatory requirements, for purposes of safety, security, and fraud prevention, or because of an issue relating to the user’s account such as an outstanding credit or an unresolved claim or dispute, we may retain certain categories of data after the deletion of the user’s account, such as user profile information, vehicle and tax data. This generally means that we retain their account and data for 7 years after a deletion request.

Users may request deletion of their accounts at any time. Kazi may retain user data after a deletion request due to legal or regulatory requirements or for reasons stated in this policy. Users may request deletion of their account at any time through the Settings > Privacy menus in the Kazi app, or through Kazi’s website (riders and order recipients here; drivers and delivery persons here; guest checkout users here). Following an account deletion request, Kazi deletes the user’s account and data, unless they must be retained due to legal or regulatory requirements, for purposes of safety, security, and fraud prevention, or because of an issue relating to the user’s account such as an outstanding credit or an unresolved claim or dispute. Because we are subject to legal and regulatory requirements relating to drivers and delivery persons, this generally means that we retain their account and data for the applicable statutory retention period after a deletion request. For riders and order recipients, their data is generally deleted within 90 days of a deletion request, except where retention is necessary for the above reasons. IV. Choice and transparency Kazi enables users to access and/or control data that Kazi collects, including through:

• privacy settings
• device permissions
• in-app ratings pages
• marketing choices

Kazi also enables users to request access to or copies of their data, make changes or updates to their accounts, request deletion of their accounts, or request that Kazi restrict its processing of user data. A. Privacy settings The Settings > Privacy menu in the Kazi app allows riders and order recipients to set or update their preferences regarding location data collection and sharing, emergency data sharing, and notifications. Our Privacy Center is also available in web version. Riders may enable Kazi to share real-time location data from their mobile devices with emergency police, fire, and ambulance services. Such data may include approximate location at the time the emergency call was placed; the car’s make, model, color, and license plate information; the rider’s name and phone number; pickup and dropoff locations; and the driver’s name. Riders may enable/disable this feature via the Settings > Privacy > Location menu, or the Safety Center. Drivers and delivery persons can also enable/disable Emergency Data Sharing via the App settings > Emergency Data Sharing menu, or the Safety Toolkit. B. Device permissions Most mobile device platforms (iOS, Android, etc.) have defined certain types of device data that apps cannot access without the device owner’s permission, and these platforms have different methods for how that permission can be obtained. Please check the available settings on your device or check with your provider. C. In-app ratings pages After every trip, drivers and riders are able to rate each other on a scale from 1 to 5. An average of those ratings is associated with a user’s account and is displayed to other users for whom they provide or receive services. For example, rider ratings are available to drivers from whom they request transportation, and driver ratings are available to their riders. This 2-way system holds everyone accountable for their behavior. Accountability helps create a respectful, safe environment for drivers and riders. Riders can see their average rating in the main menu of the Kazi app, and also access a breakdown of their average rating in Kazi’s Privacy Center. Drivers can see their average rating after tapping their profile photo in the Kazi Driver app. Click here for more information. Delivery persons may also be rated by order recipients, restaurants and merchants. Click here for more information. D.
