Information Collection and Use

We gather various categories of information from users of our Platform and Services, including data that could potentially identify you personally. This might encompass particulars like your name, email address, bank account details, or any other means through which you can be reached, whether online or offline. The collection of information from users occurs through multiple channels, including when users navigate our Platform, enroll as users, or engage with other features, services, resources, or activities offered on our Platform, including through our Services. For users interested in registering on our Platform, the process entails the provision of information such as name, email address, phone number, and, in specific instances, additional details like payment account information. The collection of information is conducted on a voluntary basis, with users deciding to provide such data to us. Users always have the option to decline submitting information. However, opting not to supply specific information during the registration process might hinder successful user registration and subsequently restrict access to various Services available exclusively to registered users.

Loopride gathers information from our Site, primarily based on data provided by you. This information encompasses the following:

  1. Details, including personal information, furnished by you when completing forms on our Site. This includes information submitted during the registration process.
  2. Information contained in messages, notes, or comments that you post or submit to the Site.
  3. Data in correspondence between you and other users on the Site.
  4. Records of correspondence with us, including email addresses, if you get in touch with us.
  5. Information related to search queries conducted on the Site.
  6. Details regarding payment methods. If you add a credit card or payment method to your Loopride account, a third party responsible for payment processing will receive your card information. To ensure your financial data’s security, we refrain from storing full credit card information on our servers.
  7. In case you choose to become a part of our driver community, we may request additional information, such as date of birth, physical address, Social Security number, driver’s license details, vehicle particulars, car insurance data, and, in certain regions, potential business licenses or permits. This information is shared with our partners to conduct background checks on Drivers, thus safeguarding the Loopride community.
  8. You might also provide Submitted Content intended for public areas of the Site or transmission to other users or third parties. Note that your Submitted Content is shared at your own risk. Refer to our Terms of Service for a comprehensive understanding of Submitted Content classification. While certain pages have restricted access (e.g., payment account details), it’s important to note that no security measure is entirely foolproof. Furthermore, we have no control over unauthorized access to your Submitted Content, as we cannot predict the actions of other Site users with whom you share your content. As a result, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of your Submitted Content from unauthorized viewing.

Automated Data Collection and Utilization:

Loopride also employs automated methods to gather and store data derived from your browser, including your IP address, Loopride-associated cookie particulars, software and hardware attributes, as well as the specific page you accessed. Once you complete the registration process and log in to our services, your anonymity ceases, and your usage data becomes linked to your account. Loopride employs the amassed information, encompassing anonymous, pseudonymous, and personally identifiable data, for a variety of overarching objectives. These include, but are not limited to: fulfilling your requests for products and services, enhancing our offerings, establishing communication with you, conducting research endeavors, and providing confidential reporting for both internal and external stakeholders.

A cookie is a small data fragment stored on the Member’s device, containing non-personally identifiable information. The use of cookies on our Service does not establish a connection with any identifiable personal data during your time on our platform. For instance, when a cookie is set on Loopride, it eliminates the need for the Member to repeatedly input their password, thus optimizing their experience on the platform. It’s important to note that even if a Member declines to accept cookies, they can still utilize Loopride. However, the trade-off is that certain aspects of our Service might be limited. Cookies also offer the advantage of enabling us to track and tailor our Members’ interests, enhancing their overall experience on our platform.
