PRIVACY POLICY
WELCOME TO ASSISTED CARE TRANSPORTATION
Our Privacy Policy oversees your engagement with thedailydosesociety.org and delineates our methods for collecting, securing, and revealing information accrued through your utilization of our services. We leverage your data to deliver and augment our services. Your use of the service constitutes your consent to our information collection and utilization practices as described in this policy.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
We gather diverse information types for various objectives to enhance and provide our service to you.
TYPES OF DATA COLLECTED
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
In your interactions with the Assisted Care Transportation Platform, we amass the data you furnish, information regarding your use, and details about your device. Additionally, we gather data about you from alternative sources, such as third-party services and optional programs you partake in, which we might merge with the data we have about you. Below are the categories of information we collect:
A. INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US
-
Account Registration. On creating an account with Assisted Care Transportation, the information you offer, including your name, email address, phone number, birth date, and payment details, is collected by us. You might also provide additional information for your Rider Profile, such as your photograph or frequently visited addresses (e.g., home or work), and establish other preferences (like your preferred pronouns).
-
Driver Information. Should you apply to become a driver, the data you provide in your application, such as your name, email address, phone number, birth date, profile photo, physical address, government identification number (e.g., Social Security Number), driver’s license details, vehicle specifics, and car insurance information, is collected by us. The payment details you provide, including your bank routing numbers and tax information, are also collected. Based on your preferred driving location, we may request additional business license or permit data or other relevant information. After you become a driver, we may require further details from you, including data to verify your identity (like a photograph).
-
Ratings and Feedback. The comprehensive information you offer in your feedback when you rate and give feedback about riders or drivers is collected by us.
-
Communications. Any information you provide, including message contents or attachments you send us, is collected when you communicate with us or when we communicate with you.
B. INFORMATION WE COLLECT WHEN YOU USE THE ASSISTED CARE TRANSPORTATION PLATFORM
-
Location Information. The foundation of excellent rides is precise and convenient pickup locations. Depending on your app settings and device permissions, as well as your role on the platform (rider or driver), the Assisted Care Transportation Platform gathers location data (including GPS and WiFi data) differently:
-
Riders: From the moment you request a ride until its completion, we collect your device’s precise location when you open and use the Assisted Care Transportation app, even when the app runs in the background. The exact location of all vehicles is tracked by Assisted Care Transportation at all times.
-
Drivers: Your device’s precise location is collected when you open and use the app, including while it runs in the background in driver mode. We also collect precise location data for a limited period after you exit driver mode to detect ride incidents, continuing until a reported or detected incident concludes.
-
-
Usage Information. Details of your interactions with the Assisted Care Transportation Platform, including ride data like date, time, destination, distance, route, payment, and the use of promotional or referral codes, are collected. Information about your interactions with our apps and websites, including viewed pages and content, as well as the dates and times of your usage, is also collected.
-
Device Information. Data about the devices you use to access the Assisted Care Transportation Platform, including device model, IP address, browser type, operating system version, carrier and manufacturer identity, radio type (e.g., 4G), preferences and settings (like preferred language), app installations, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, and push notification tokens, are collected. For drivers, we also collect mobile sensor data from your device (such as speed, direction, height, acceleration, deceleration, and other technical data).
-
Communications Between Riders and Drivers. We collaborate with a third party to facilitate phone calls and text messages between riders and drivers without disclosing either party’s actual phone number to the other. Though a third party provides the communication service, information about these communications, including the participants’ phone numbers, the date and time, and SMS message contents, is collected by us. For security reasons, we might monitor or record the contents of phone calls made through the Assisted Care Transportation Platform, but we will inform you before the call begins.
-
Address Book Contacts. If you allow Assisted Care Transportation access to your contact list through device permissions, directing us to access your contact list, for example, to assist you in referring friends to Assisted Care Transportation, send emergency SOS alert notifications, and perform in-app wallet-to-wallet transactions, we will access and store the names and contact information of people in your address book.
-
Cookies, Analytics, and Third-Party Technologies. Information is collected using “cookies,” tracking pixels, data analytics tools like Google Analytics, SDKs, and other third-party technologies to understand how you navigate the Assisted Care Transportation Platform and interact with Assisted Care Transportation advertisements. This helps us make your Assisted Care Transportation experience safer, identify popular content, improve site experience, serve better ads on other sites, and save your preferences. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by web servers, designed to store basic information and help websites and apps recognize your browser. We may use both session cookies, which disappear after you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain after you close your browser and may be accessed every time you use the Assisted Care Transportation Platform. You should consult your web browser(s) to modify your cookie settings. Please note that if you delete or choose not to accept cookies from us, you may miss out on certain features of the Assisted Care Transportation Platform.

A. SHARING BETWEEN ASSISTED CARE TRANSPORTATION USERS: RIDERS AND DRIVERS
-
Rider Information Shared with Driver: When a ride request is received, we share with the driver the rider's pickup location, name, profile photo, rating, rider statistics (such as approximate number of rides and years as a rider), and any information the rider includes in their Rider Profile (like preferred pronouns). During pickup and the ride, we share the rider's destination and any additional stops the rider inputs into the Assisted Care Transportation app with the driver. After the ride is completed, we also eventually share the rider's rating and feedback with the driver. (We remove the rider's identity associated with ratings and feedback when sharing it with drivers, but a driver may be able to identify the rider who provided the rating or feedback.)
-
Driver Information Shared with Rider: When a driver accepts a requested ride, we share with the rider the driver's name, profile photo, preferred pronouns, rating, real-time location, and vehicle details, including make, model, color, and license plate number, as well as other information in the driver's Assisted Care Transportation profile, such as any additional details drivers choose to add (like a country flag and reasons for driving) and driver statistics (like approximate number of rides and years as a driver). While we facilitate communication between riders and drivers for pickup arrangements, we do not share actual phone numbers or other contact information with other users. If you report a lost or found item to us, we will attempt to connect you with the relevant rider or driver, including sharing actual contact information with your consent.
-
Shared Ride Riders: When riders choose an Assisted Care Transportation shared ride, we share each rider's name and profile picture to ensure safety. Riders may also view each other's pickup and drop-off locations as part of understanding the route while sharing the ride.
-
Rides Requested or Paid for by Others: Some rides you take may be requested or paid for by others. If you take one of these rides using your Assisted Care Transportation Business Profile account, a code or coupon, a subsidized program (e.g., transit or government), a corporate credit card linked to another account, or if another user requests or pays for a ride for you, we may share some or all of your ride details with that other party, including the date, time, charge, rating given, region of trip, and pickup and drop-off location of your ride.
-
Referral Programs: If you refer someone to the Assisted Care Transportation Platform, we will let them know that you generated the referral. If another user referred you, we may share information about your use of the Assisted Care Transportation Platform with that user. For example, a referral source may receive a bonus when you join the Assisted Care Transportation Platform or complete a certain number of rides and would receive such information.

HOW WE STORE AND PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION
We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide you and our other users the Assisted Care Transportation Platform.

If you request account deletion, we will delete your information as set forth in the "Deleting Your Account" section below. We take reasonable and appropriate measures designed to protect your personal information. But no security measures can be 100% effective, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information, including against unauthorized intrusions or acts by third parties.

For example, we may retain your information to resolve open insurance claims, or we may be obligated to retain your information as part of an open legal claim. When we retain such data, we do so in ways designed to prevent its use for other purposes.
