Driver Privacy Statement (Australia)

Last Updated: August 1st 2020
HOP collects information about you when you use our mobile applications, websites, and other online products and services (collectively, the “Services”) and through other interactions and communications you have with us. For persons residing in Australia, the Services are provided by HOP Technologies Pty Ltd, and this Privacy Statement (“Statement”) applies to information collected and used by HOP Technologies Pty Ltd (hereinafter “HOP” or “we”).

1. Scope and Application

This Statement applies to drivers, couriers, partner transportation companies, and any other persons that use the HOP platform under license (collectively “Drivers,” or individually “you’) and reside in Australia. This Statement does not apply to Drivers who reside outside Australia. The Statement also does not apply to persons (e.g. riders) who use our app or Services to request transportation, delivery, or other on-demand services (“Users”). If you interact with the Services as both a User and a Driver, the respective privacy statements apply to your different interactions.

2. Collection of Information

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create, modify, or log in to your account, request support from us, consent to a background check, submit your driver’s license, submit information about your vehicle or insurance, or otherwise communicate with us. This information may include; name, email, phone number, postal address, profile picture, payment information, vehicle registration information, insurance information, driver’s license information, and other information you may choose to provide.
Information We Collect Through Your Use of Our Services When you use our Services, we collect information about you in the following general categories:
Location Information: As a condition of providing Users with transportation, delivery, or other services via the HOP platform, your precise location data must be provided to HOP via the app that you use. Once the HOP app has permission to access location services through the permission system used by your mobile operating system (“platform”), we will collect the precise location of your device when the app is running in the foreground or background. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.
Contacts Information: If you permit the HOP app to access the address book on your device via the permission system used by your platform, we may access and store names and contact information from your address book to facilitate social interactions through our Services and for other purposes described in this Statement or at the time of consent or collection.
Transaction Information: We collect transaction details related to the transportation (or other) services you provide through our platform, including the type of service provided, date and time the service was provided, amount charged, distance travelled, and other related transaction details. Additionally, if someone uses your promo code, we may associate your name with that person.
Usage and Preference Information: We collect information about how you and site visitors interact with our Services, preferences expressed, and settings chosen. In some cases we do this through the use of cookies, pixel tags, and similar device identification technologies that create and maintain unique identifiers.
Device Information: We may collect information about your mobile device, including, for example, the hardware model, operating system and version, software and file names and versions, preferred language, unique device identifier, advertising identifiers, serial number, device motion information, and mobile network information.
Call and SMS Data: Our Services facilitate communications between Users and Drivers. In connection with facilitating this service, we receive call data, including the date and time of the call or SMS message, the parties’ phone numbers, and the content of the SMS message.
Log Information: When you interact with the Services, we collect server logs, which may include information like device IP address, access dates and times, app features or pages viewed, app crashes and other system activity, type of browser, and the third- party site or service you were using before interacting with our Services.
We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in
accordance with this Privacy Notice. e We do not collect any special categories of personal data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data).
We do collect personal data that is to do with driving-related offences and criminal convictions that our drivers have received before they are fully able to become members with us. We only obtain and process this data when we have a lawful basis in which to do so (i.e. consent has been given to us by the driver for us to obtain this data).
Our products and services are not intended for children and therefore, we do notknowingly collect data relating to children.

Important Information About Platform Permissions

Most mobile platforms (GOS, Android, etc.) have defined certain types of device data that apps cannot access without your consent. And these platforms have different permission systems for obtaining your consent. The iOS platform will alert you the first time the HOP app wants permission to access certain types of data and will let you consent (or not consent) to that request. Android devices will notify you of the permissions that the HOP app seeks before you first use the app, and your use of the app constitutes your consent.

Information We Collect From Other Sources

We may also receive information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through our Services. For example:
If you choose to link, create, or log in to your HOP account with a payment provider (e.g., Stripe) or social media service (e.g., Facebook), or if you engage with a separate app or website that uses our API (or whose API we use), we may receive information about you or your connections from that site or app.
If you use the Services through an account associated with a partner transportation company, we may receive information about you from that partner company.
When you provide on demand services to Users, our Users may provide us with a driver rating or similar rating of the service you provide for them.
If you also interact with our Services in another capacity, for instance to request on demand services as a User, or as a user of other apps we may provide, we may combine or associate that information with information we have collected from you in your capacity as a Driver. 3. Use of Information

We may use the information we collect about you to:

Provide, maintain, and improve our Services, including, for example, to facilitate payments, send receipts, provide products and services (and send related information), develop new features, provide customer support to Users and Drivers, develop safety features, authenticate users, and send product updates and administrative messages; Perform internal operations, including, for example, to prevent fraud and abuse of our Services; to troubleshoot software bugs and operational problems; to conduct data analysis, testing, and research; and to monitor and analyse usage and activity trends; Send or facilitate communications (i) between you and a User (e.g. a rider), such as estimated times of arrival (ETAs), or (ii) between you and a contact of yours at your direction in connection with your use of certain features, such as referrals.

We may transfer the information described in this Statement to, and process and store it in other countries, some of which may have less protective data protection laws than the region in which you reside. Where this is the case, we will take appropriate measures to protect your personal information in accordance with this Statement.

5. Social Sharing Features

The Services may integrate with social sharing features and other related tools which let you share actions you take on our Services with other apps, sites, or media, and vice versa. Your use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the social sharing service. Please refer to the privacy policies of those social sharing services for more information about how they handle the data you provide to or share through them. 6. Your Choices

Account Information

You may correct your account information at any time by logging into your online or in-app account. If you wish to cancel your account, please email us at support@myhop.io. Please note that in some cases we may retain certain information about you as required by law, or for legitimate business purposes to the extent permitted by law. For instance, if you have a standing credit or debt on your account, or if we believe you have committed fraud or violated our Terms, we may seek to resolve the issue before deleting your information.

Access Rights

HOP will comply with individual’s requests regarding access, correction, and/ or deletion of the personal data it stores in accordance with applicable law.

Location Information

We request permission for our app’s collection of precise location from your device per the permission system used by your mobile operating system. If you initially permit the collection of this information, you can later disable it by changing the location settings on your mobile device. However, you will not be able to provide services on the HOP platform if you disable our collection of precise location data. Additionally, disabling our collection of precise location from your device will not limit our ability to derive approximate location from your IP address.

Contact Information

We may also seek permission for our app’s collection and syncing of contact information from your device per the permission system used by your mobile operating system. If you initially permit the collection of this information, iOS users can later disable it by changing the contacts settings on your mobile device. The Android platform does not provide such a setting.

Promotional Communications

You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us by following the instructions in those messages. If you opt out, we may still send you non- promotional communications, such as those about your account, about Services you have requested, or our ongoing business relations.

7. Changes to the Statement

We may change this Statement from time to time. If we make significant changes in the way we treat your personal information, or to the Statement, we will provide you notice through the Services or by some other means, such as email. Your continued use of the Services after such notice constitutes your consent to the changes. We encourage you to periodically review this Statement for the latest information on our privacy practices.

8. Failure to Provide Personal Data

Where we need to collect personal data by law or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with goods and/or services). In this case, we may have to cancel goods
and/or services you have with us - but we will notify you in advance.
9. Failure to Provide Personal Data
We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other
means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for 6 years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data by emailing
support@myhop.io In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use
this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
