Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 14, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Osmancoo LLC, operating the HopIn platform (“HopIn,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), may collect, use, disclose and protect information when users access our websites, passenger applications, driver applications and related services.
1. Information we may collect
- Account information, such as name, telephone number, email address and profile details.
- Driver information, such as identification, licensing, vehicle and onboarding information.
- Trip information, including pickup and destination details, route information, ride status and transaction records.
- Location information, including precise device location when required to provide ride-related features and permitted by the user.
- Device and technical information, such as device type, operating system, app version, IP address and diagnostic data.
- Communications with customer support and feedback submitted to us.
2. How we may use information
- To create and manage user and driver accounts.
- To connect passengers and drivers and facilitate requested trips.
- To provide location-based features, customer support and service communications.
- To improve safety, prevent fraud, investigate misuse and enforce our terms.
- To maintain, troubleshoot, analyze and improve the platform.
- To comply with applicable law and valid legal requests.
3. Location data
HopIn may request permission to access location data while the app is in use, and for driver functionality may request background location where necessary to support active trip and availability features. Users can control location permissions in their device settings, but disabling them may prevent important features from working.
4. Payments
Initial HopIn services may use cash payments. If electronic payment services are introduced, payment information may be processed by authorized third-party providers under their own privacy practices.
5. When information may be shared
We may share limited information with passengers, drivers, technology and hosting providers, professional advisers, authorities where legally required, and parties involved in a business transfer. We do not sell personal information for money.
6. Face data (identity verification)
When identity verification is enabled, the app confirms, with your in-app consent, that the person using the driver account is the registered driver.
A liveness check runs first. Images of your face and, on supported devices, depth data are processed entirely on your device. Depth data is never stored or transmitted and is discarded immediately when the check is complete.
A selfie is then transmitted securely to Ondemand Apps OU, our data processor operating the app's software platform, which compares it with your reference photograph using AWS Rekognition as a sub-processor.
We keep face data only for as long as necessary and never indefinitely. The selfie is automatically deleted once verification is complete, or immediately after the verification session ends or is interrupted after image capture. Your reference photograph is retained only while your driver account remains active and is deleted within 30 days after your account is closed.
After each verification, only the verification result (pass/fail) and the date of verification are retained. These records do not contain any face data.
Face data is shared only with Ondemand Apps OU and AWS Rekognition solely to perform identity verification. AWS processes the images only temporarily, does not retain them after processing, and does not use them to train or improve its services.
Face data is never used for advertising, marketing, profiling, or analytics, and is never sold.
7. Data retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the services, meet legal and operational requirements, resolve disputes, enforce agreements and protect users.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards. No internet or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. User choices and requests
Users may request access, correction or deletion of certain personal information, subject to applicable law and legitimate retention requirements. Requests may be sent to support@hopinrides.com.
10. Children
HopIn is not intended for independent use by children who are not legally permitted to enter into service agreements. A parent, guardian or authorized adult should arrange transportation for minors where required by law.
11. International operations
Because HopIn may operate in more than one country, information may be processed in locations where we or our service providers operate, subject to applicable legal safeguards.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
