Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Jayride (“we”,“us” or “our”), we are committed to compliance with privacy laws which apply to our business and which set out standards for the management of personal information. We take the responsibility over the security of your personal information very seriously.

This is Jayride’s Privacy Policy which describes the manner in which we process, collect, use, maintain, hold and disclose information collected from you when you interact with us, which may include making a booking, communicating with us or using our website, mobile website and other websites offered by Jayride, including via other media such as social media and how you can access this information, and more. We also interact with third parties, such as transport companies, partner companies and companies affiliated with us, which may affect the manner in which personal information is collected, used, maintained and disclosed.

By visiting our sites and/or using our services, you are agreeing and consenting to the practices described in this Policy. For a better understanding, please read our Cookie Statement and Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with all or part of this Policy, or do not wish to be bound by it, we recommend you that you do not visit our site or use our services.

What personal information do we collect and hold?

The personal information we collect, and hold is what we consider reasonably necessary for our business functions and activities

Personal information you give to us

Every time you make a booking, we will generally require you to provide personal information such as your name, phone number, email address, flight number, pick-up and drop-off addresses and credit/debit card details. We may also require personal information such as your name and email address when you subscribe to our email communications or if you contact us through customer services, as well as any other interactions on our website, platforms or social media services, such as when reviewing our services and/or transport companies or when commenting on our blog.

When we collect personal information about you, we do so by making a record of it. We do this when:

  • you communicate with us online, for example if you create an account with us or utilise our booking platform or mobile app when available;
  • you subscribe to our newsletter;
  • you take part in any trade promotions, testimonials, surveys or focus groups we are involved in conducting;
  • you provide personal details to us during the course of a transaction making a booking;
  • you deal with us in other ways involving a need for personal information to be provided such as when you make contact with us.

Personal information we collect automatically

When you visit any of our sites, we automatically collect certain information from you. This includes your IP address, the browser you are using, your language settings, how you got here and how you interact with our website, for example, when performing searches, and the options related to those searches. This is non-personally identifiable information that may be stored and used to enhance and administer our website, provide products and services. For more information check our Cookie Statement.

Personal information we receive from other sources
In addition, we may also receive information about you from other sources (e.g. when one of our affiliates or partners has directed you to our platform). This includes our affiliated entities, business partners, and other third parties, such as advertisers. We may also collect personal information about you by accessing data from other sources and then analysing that data together with the information we already hold about you in order to facilitate a better service to you by us. When you visit our website, social media pages, app or click on our advertisements displayed on the online media of other companies, we may collect information about you using technology which is not apparent to you.

Ability to use a pseudonym

You have the option of not identifying yourself or of using a pseudonym when dealing with us. But not where this is impractical or where the law or a court order provides otherwise. Given our services are usually of a personalised nature, and that we generally need to disclose or share certain personal information and location details with your chosen Transport Provider in order to service your booking, it is generally not practicable to utilise our service without identifying yourself.

Storage of personal information

Personal information we hold is generally stored in computer systems. These may be operated by us or by our service providers.

Why do we collect your personal information?

We collect your personal information mainly for the purpose of seeking to provide you with a transport solution that meets your needs and to manage your booking. When we collect, hold and use your personal information, we may also do it primarily to:

  • ensure that our services are tailored to your specific needs;
  • maintain our customer records;
  • allow you to participate in Jayride activities;
  • respond to any request for products or services;
  • fulfill booking requests placed with Jayride by any means (including through our website or app, when available);
  • provide newsletters; and
  • maintain a record of enquiries, complaints and adverse event reports relating to your booking and transport experience.

We may use some of your personal information to market to you and to others and for incidental purposes.  Not all information collected in respect of you is used for marketing and the majority of information is collected solely for the purpose of providing products, access to the website, and to facilitate your transport booking.

We disclose personal information we collect for those purposes, and for incidental purposes.  For example, we may disclose your personal information within our group, to service providers who assist us in our day-to-day business operations and as part of buying or selling businesses.

We may collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for other purposes which are within reasonable expectations or where permitted by law.  When marketing to you, your personal information is only ever used or disclosed for our own purposes. You may opt out of our direct marketing to you. Our direct marketing materials will tell you how to do this.

We may de-identify your personal information.  We may do this for use and disclosure of the anonymous data for various data analytics purposes.

Our legal basis for processing your personal information

When we use your personal information, we are required to have a legal basis for doing so. There are various different legal bases on which we may rely, depending on what personal information we process and why.

The legal bases we may rely on include:

  • consent: where you have given us clear consent for us to process your personal information for a specific purpose
  • contract: where our use of your personal information is necessary for a contract to which you are or will be a party (for example, with your chosen Transport Provider), or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract
  • legal obligation: where our use of your personal information is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations)
  • legitimate interests: where our use of your personal information is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party (unless there is a good reason to protect your personal information, which overrides those legitimate interests)

Where the relevant lawful basis is our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, the relevant legitimate interests are the operation of our business in the way described in this Policy and in our Terms and Conditions.

Who do we share your personal information with?

We are serious about protecting your personal information. For that reason, we do not share the personal information you provide to us, except as outlined in this policy.

For example, we will share with your chosen Transfer Company the following information: your full name, email address, (although we strive to do so in anonymised form— so that your actual email address is not be disclosed to the Transport Provider), mobile phone number, flight number, pick-up and drop-off address. We do so to facilitate your transport booking. The Transfer Company needs this information to carry out your journey, which includes, to pick you up and drop you off at the right places and at the right time. Please be aware that your chosen Transfer Company may contact you to confirm, arrange and organise your booked trip. After you make a booking, we are able to review email communications between you and your chosen Transport Provider in connection with the booking. This can be helpful if there is any misunderstanding between you and your chosen Transport Provider in connection with a booking. Please note that we will never share your payment details with anyone except as necessary to process your payment for our services.

Regarding any reviews you provide about Jayride or the Transfer Company, once you post a review on our website or another review website, you are authorising us to share it with our website visitors (public knowledge), as well as with the Transfer Company you have reviewed. We may also use it for marketing purposes. This also applies to any interaction with you on our website or social media.

We may share some information from you such as your search information, preferred browser etc with our business partners, affiliates and third party companies. These companies may use this information to provide advertisements on our website and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to certain users and for statistics purposes.

We may share your personal information in any case where we are required to do so by any applicable law or any regulatory authority to whose jurisdiction, we are subject.

We may allow your personal information to be shared with those who are in countries other than your own location.  We do this:

  • where we have made a business decision to store our data with a trusted service provider who is in the business of providing data storage and processing services.  Examples are those who store and process our email and mobile application data. These services providers commonly have diverse geographic locations which change from time to time for reasons which include data protection and processing efficiency.  Where these services are used by us, it is not practical for us to notify you of which country your personal information may be located in;
  • for disclosures between our group companies.  Our main business location is in Australia but we do business in a number of countries and some of our group companies may be based in other countries from time to time;
  • when our business that collected your personal information is in a different country to your location; and
  • when you choose to make a booking with a Transport Provider for transport services in a country outside of Australia.

Transfer you your personal information out of the EEA or UK

If you are ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), we may need to transfer your personal information to countries outside the EEA or UK in order to process your booking. This will be essential if your chosen Transport Provider is located outside the EEA or UK. This may mean we are transferring your personal information to a country that does not have the same data protection laws as the EEA and/or UK. Although we refer in this section to the EEA and the UK, the privacy laws of any other country in which you ordinarily reside may offer you better protection than the privacy laws of the country in which your chosen Transport Provider is based.

In certain limited cases, the European Commission has given a formal decision that certain countries provide an adequate level of data protection similar to those which apply in the EEA and UK. If no such decision has been made in relation to the relevant country to which your personal information is transferred in order to fulfill your Booking, transfers of your personal information will, where possible, be subject to a European Commission approved contract between us and the recipient (e.g. your chosen Transport Provider) of your data. These approved contracts are considered an appropriate safeguard for the international transfer of information. They are designed to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a misuse of your personal information. To see the wording of the approved contract, please click here and scroll down to the ‘Annex’.

In some cases, however, it will not be possible to rely on this type of approved contract. This is why, when you make a booking, we request your explicit consent to transfer your information to the transport provider. Please also note that, in any case, international transfers of your information are necessary for the purposes of our contract with your chosen Transport Provider – if we can’t transfer your information, you are booking cannot be completed.

Although we refer in this section to the EEA and the UK, the privacy laws of any other country in which you ordinarily reside may offer you better protection than the privacy laws of the country in which your chosen transport provider is based.

How long do we store your personal information?

We respect your privacy and therefore store only an amount of your personal information reasonably required for us to provide you with our services and only keep it as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which your information was collected and for contractual reasons according the applicable law. We do not store your payment information; we collate it for the sole purpose of making and processing your booking.

If you ask us to send you offers and news by email, we will store your email address alongside your travel details until you unsubscribe from our mailing list. Our direct marketing materials will tell you how to do this.

How do we protect your personal and payment information?

All pages that require you to enter your personal information or payment details on our site are encrypted and transmitted via SSL. To ensure that the page you are viewing uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption, you should look for the padlock icon in your browser.

We are PCI Compliant (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).

Minor Consent

Our Privacy Officer will investigate the matter and attempt to resolve it in a timely way.  Our Privacy Officer will inform you in writing about the outcome of the investigation. If our Privacy Officer does not resolve your complaint to your satisfaction and no other complaint resolution procedures are agreed or required by law, our Privacy Officer will inform you that your complaint may be referred to the relevant privacy regulator for further investigation and will provide you with the regulator’s contact details.

This does not affect any of your other rights to lodge a complaint with a regulator under data protection law, in particular in a European Economic Area state or in the United Kingdom if you work, normally live or if any alleged infringement of data protection laws occurred in the relevant state within the EEA.

More information about privacy law and privacy principles is available from the privacy regulator.  The privacy regulator in Australia is the Privacy Commissioner: www.oaic.gov.au (email: enquiries@oaic.gov.au).
