Global Privacy Policy

RIDESHARE LIMITED · Company No. 07986677 · Last updated October 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how RIDESHARE LIMITED ("Rideshare", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data when individuals ("you", "users") access or use our websites, mobile applications, brand platforms, products or services.

Rideshare operates several branded platforms including Football Rideshare, Mountain Rideshare, Surf Rideshare, and Festival Rideshare (together, the "Brand Platforms").

We are committed to processing personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently.

By using our Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.

2. Who We Are (Data Controller)

For all data processing activities described in this Policy, the data controller is:

RIDESHARE LIMITED

Company No. 07986677

7 Blossom Close, London, England, W5 4YE

Email: legal@ridesharelimited.com

3. Scope of This Policy

This Policy applies to:

  • Drivers
  • Passengers
  • Website visitors
  • Individuals participating in promotions, rewards, or partnerships
  • Individuals who contact our support teams

It applies across all countries where we operate or provide Services.

4. Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of data:

4.1 Identity Data: full name, email address, phone number, profile photos, date of birth / age verification.

4.2 Driver Verification Data: driving licence details, vehicle registration, insurance documents (self-declared), identity verification results.

4.3 Trip & Usage Data: trip listings, routes, estimated times, distances, pickup/drop-off points, price contributions, cancellations and attendance.

4.4 Location Data: real-time or approximate GPS location (with permission), trip mapping and matching data.

4.5 Device & Technical Data: IP address, device identifiers, browser / operating system information, cookies and tracking technologies (see Cookie Policy).

4.6 Communications: messages exchanged via the Platform, support queries and call logs, complaint or safety reports.

4.7 Payment & Transaction Data: payment method (via third-party providers), transaction history, refunds and cancellations. We never store full card numbers; these are handled by certified payment processors.

4.8 Ratings & Reviews: ratings, comments and behavioural feedback.

4.9 Gamification & Sustainability Data: CO₂ savings calculations (estimated), vehicle emission profiles, eco-badges and engagement metrics.

4.10 Marketing Preferences: communication preferences, cookie and tracking consent status.

4.11 Usage Data and Error Reports (only with your consent): if you switch on "Share usage data", the app records the main things you do in it (for example searching, viewing a Trip, posting a Trip or booking a seat), which screens you open, and details of any error the app runs into. On our website it also records how you move through the app (the screens you open, where you tap and scroll, and where you pause), so we can see where people get stuck. In these recordings every piece of text, everything you type, every picture and every map is hidden, and web addresses are cut back to the page, so they show the layout of the screen and your movement through it, not what is on it. Each record carries a random account number rather than your name, together with whether you drive, which Brand Platform you use, the month you joined, your app version, and general facts about your device such as its make, operating system, screen size, language and time zone. It never includes your name, email address, phone number, location, the content of your messages, or your device's name. It is off unless you switch it on, it is never collected when you are not signed in, and you can switch it off at any time in Profile → Settings.

5. How We Use Personal Data

We process your data for the following purposes:

  • Providing and operating the Platform and Services
  • Managing your account and verifying your identity
  • Processing payments and handling transactions
  • Matching Drivers and Passengers for Trips
  • Sending service notifications and operational communications
  • Detecting and preventing fraud and abuse
  • Improving Platform performance and user experience through analytics, and finding and fixing errors in the app (usage data and error reports only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time)
  • Calculating CO₂ savings and supporting gamification features
  • Complying with legal and regulatory obligations
  • Administering optional partner promotions (with your consent)

We never sell personal data.

6. How We Share Personal Data

6.1 Other Users: limited profile information is shared between Drivers and Passengers for Trip coordination.

6.2 Service Providers: payment processors, cloud hosting providers, geolocation/mapping providers, fraud detection and safety services, analytics tools, identity verification providers. All service providers are bound by contractual data protection obligations.

6.2A Analytics: if you switch on "Share usage data", the usage data and error reports described in Section 4.11 are processed for us by PostHog, Inc., acting as our processor under a data processing agreement. PostHog stores this data in the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany), and may process some of it in the United States.

6.3 Partners (Optional Participation): if you join a partner programme (e.g., sports clubs, events, outdoor brands), we may share limited data necessary to administer the programme.

6.4 Legal Authorities: we may disclose information if required by law enforcement, government agencies, courts or regulatory bodies.

6.5 Corporate Transactions: if Rideshare Limited is acquired or undergoes restructuring, your data may be transferred under confidentiality obligations.

7. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred outside the UK or EEA.

We ensure compliance using:

  • UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA)
  • EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
  • Adequacy decisions
  • The EU-US Data Privacy Framework, its UK Extension and the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework, where the recipient is certified (PostHog, our analytics provider, is certified under all three)
  • Additional security and contractual safeguards

8. Data Retention

We retain data for only as long as necessary:

  • Account data: while your account is active. Deleted or anonymised when you delete your account
  • Trip and payment data: 6 years (UK tax and accounting obligations)
  • Ratings and behavioural data: duration of your active account
  • CO₂ and gamification data: aggregated or anonymised after 12 months
  • Support and safety records: up to 6 years
  • Usage data and error reports (only if you agreed to share them): up to 12 months; screen recordings of the website: up to 1 month. Switching off "Share usage data" stops new collection; to have earlier data deleted, contact privacy@ridesharelimited.com

After retention periods, data is securely deleted or anonymised.

9. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar device storage to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. If you switch on "Share usage data", the app also stores an identifier for usage statistics (see Section 4.11).

For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

10. Marketing & Communications

You may receive:

  • Service notifications (always required)
  • Optional marketing emails
  • Optional partner promotions

You may opt out at any time by clicking "unsubscribe", updating your app settings, or emailing privacy@ridesharelimited.com

11. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have:

  • Right of access
  • Right to rectification
  • Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
  • Right to restrict processing
  • Right to object
  • Right to data portability
  • Right to withdraw consent
  • Right to lodge a complaint (e.g., ICO in the UK)

We will respond to requests within statutory timelines. Contact us at privacy@ridesharelimited.com

12. Deleting Your Account

You can delete your account yourself, at any time, from Profile → Account → Delete my account in the app. The same page is also available in a web browser at the /delete-account address of our web app, so you do not need to reinstall the app to use it.

When you delete your account:

  • Your name, photo, contact details, date of birth, location and vehicles are deleted
  • Messages you sent are replaced with a placeholder, so the other person’s side of the conversation stays readable
  • Comments you left in ratings are removed. The score remains, because removing it would change another member’s public average
  • You are signed out and can no longer sign in. Your email address is released

We cannot delete your account while a trip is still upcoming with a booked passenger or driver, or while a payment or payout is still settling. The app tells you which of these applies so you can resolve it first.

What we keep, and why:

  • Booking and payment records — 6 years, for UK tax and accounting obligations (UK GDPR Art 17(3)(b))
  • Safety and moderation reports where an investigation is open or concluded (Art 17(3)(e))
  • Aggregated, non-identifying journey statistics

These records are no longer linked to your name or contact details.

If you shared usage data, the app stops sending it when you delete your account. Usage data and error reports already sent carry only a random account number and are deleted within 12 months; you can ask us to delete them sooner.

To ask about data held after deletion, contact privacy@ridesharelimited.com

13. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for persons under 18.

We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has registered, contact us for deletion.

14. Security Measures

We use encryption, firewalls, access controls, secure data centres, regular audits, and staff training to protect your data.

No online system is entirely secure; users must protect their login credentials.

15. Automated Decision-Making

We use automated systems for matching riders, fraud detection, route optimisation, and CO₂ savings calculation.

These processes do not produce legally significant decisions about you.

16. Third-Party Links

Our Services may link to external websites or integrated services.

We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

17. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time.

Significant changes will be communicated by email, notification, or in-app message.
