1. Objective

2. Purpose
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and disclose your information and how this information can be accessed and deleted when necessary.

Ondea may contain links to websites, apps, products or services that are operated by third parties. This Privacy Policy does not extend to these third parties on which we have no control and for which we cannot be held liable. We encourage you to read about the privacy policies, procedures and practices of those third parties.
4. What information we collect from you
We collect and process information from your device in several ways, including:
- Once you have given us your consent to track your location, we keep track of your location and movement, including your latitude, longitude, time and speed of travel.
- The collection of location data only happens while Ondea is in the foreground (unless explicitly stated otherwise by Ondea) and if you’ve granted Ondea access to your device’s location services.
- We collect your preferences, including favorite routes, saved locations.
- We also automatically collect usage details each time you use Ondea, including the country of origin, the searches you make, the routes you interact with, the type of phone or OS you are using, etc.
- We collect contact information (push notification token) when you explicitly request to be notified when Ondea supports a new market.

We may use information collected from or provided by you for the following purposes:
- Provide you with pertinent transport information for nearby services;
- Understand your preferences so that we can customize Ondea for you, such as recommending personalized transport options;
- Restore your preferences if you log into your Ondea account on a different device;
- Measure usage of Ondea, including usage of specific features and views;
- Generate real-time location data of Ondea vehicles and broadcast the vehicle location and predicted arrival times to other users;

6. Users’ options
The following are some examples of your options with regard to collection, use and disclosure of your information:
- You can stop all collection of location data easily and at any time by disabling location services in your device’s settings or by uninstalling Ondea.
- You are not required to indicate any preferences (including setting your home and work address) in order to use Ondea, nor are you required to create a Ondea account that records your email, since these are optional.
