You represent and warrant that You have the authority to provide Us with any such contact information. Demographic information is divided into two categories:

  • “public information”, which consists of all other demographic information.

Please note that nowhere on the FoodsUp Platform do We knowingly collect, keep or maintain personal information from children under the age of 18, as We require that all users represent to Us that they are at least 18 years old.

Location Data (Riders & Drivers)

Location data (riders and drivers). The FoodsUp Application collects precise or approximate location data from the rider’s and driver’s mobile device, when enabled to do so. FoodsUp collects this data from the time a user logs into the application, to when a ride is request, accepted, started and finished. FoodsUp uses this data to enhance the experience and use of the app, to improve real-time driver tracking, improve pick-ups and drop-offs and to detect and prevent fraudulent activities. FoodsUp collects the driver location data, and associates each driver’s data collected to a trip the corresponding rider to help customer support, produce receipts and ride history for the customers.

How We Use Demographic Data

We may review all demographic Data. We may use public information to enable other users to search Your profile, to determine whether Your trip details fit other user’s requirements, and to communicate with You. We may use demographic information to tailor the FoodsUp Platform and communications to Your interests. We may also share demographic information with advertisers on an anonymous and aggregated basis (i.e., without telling the advertisers Your identity). One of the reasons We may do this is to increase the likelihood that Our advertisers’ goods and services will appeal to You as a user of the FoodsUp Platform. Our sharing of demographic information with advertisers is anonymous (i.e., We do not tell advertisers which particular FoodsUp Users are members of which demographic groups), subject to the rest of this privacy policy. When You respond to an advertisement, however, We ask You to remember that if that ad that is targeted to a demographic group and You decide to give the advertiser Your personal information, then the advertiser may be able to identify You as being a member of that demographic group.
