Effective as of: ____________, 2025

Metrocare Rides, Inc. (“Metrocare” or “We”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy (“Policy”).  This Policy describes the information we process to provide through our website (the “Website”) and/or software applications (the “App”; together with the Website, the “Service” or “Metrocare Service”) and any content that is made available through the Metrocare Service. We suggest you read this in conjunction with our Terms of Use (the “Terms”).[1]

While you’re enjoying any of the Service, we collect some information about you. In addition, you may choose to use the App or Website to share information with other users (“Users”). We may also need to share your information sometimes as outlined in this Policy.

Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use Metrocare Service. By accessing or using this Website or App, you agree to this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time (see Section 12 “Changes to This Policy” below). Your continued use of this Website or App after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.

1.       COLLECTION OF INFORMATION.

Registration Information

When you use our Service or when you create an account (“Account”) on our Website or App, we may collect certain information (“Registration Information”) about you, such as:

  • Name;
  • Username;
  • Email address;
  • Phone number;
  • Location;
  • Payment information (such as credit card, debit card, Google Pay or Apple Pay information)

Once you register, you will be able to review and change your Registration Information at any time just by logging in to your Metrocare Account. If you have given Metrocare access to your location in your device settings, it is automatically updated based on the location of your device. It is your responsibility to ensure that your Account details are kept up to date. If your phone number or email changes, please ensure that you update this in your Account.

[1] will insert a hyperlink to the Terms when it’s live.

The information we collect helps to enhance the Service and verify our Users. Registration Information such as your username may be visible to other Users who view your profile page.

For Users who are California residents, the data we may collect falls within the following categories of “personal information”, as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”):

  • Identifiers, such as name and location;
  • Personal information, as defined in the California customer records law, such as contact (including email and telephone number) and financial information;
  • Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law (if you choose to provide them), such as age (only to verify if you are 18 years old);
  • Commercial information, such as transaction information and purchase history;
  • Internet or network activity information, such as browsing history and interactions with our Website and App;
  • Geolocation data, such as mobile device location;
  • Audio, electronic, visual and similar information, such as photos and videos; and
  • Inferences drawn from any of the personal information listed above to create a profile or summary about, for example, an individual’s preferences and characteristics.

Profile Information

We recommend and encourage you (and all Metrocare Users) to think carefully about the information you disclose about yourself. We also do not recommend that you put sensitive information on your profile, which may be open to abuse and misuse.  Examples of sensitive information include but are not limited to: your email addresses, URLs, phone numbers, personal mailing/residential addresses, credit card details, national identity numbers, and drivers’ license details.

Purchases Information

If you utilize the Service, we will process your payment information, including credit card information, and retain this securely for the prevention of fraud and for audit/tax purposes.

Metrocare may collaborate with payment processors that use automated decisions to prevent fraudulent payment transactions being processed as part of its anti-fraud procedures.  The payment processor’s systems check payment transactions for behavior that indicates breaches of its terms or the Metrocare Terms. If a transaction meets certain criteria that demonstrate that the Terms are likely to have been breached and the transaction is likely to be fraudulent, the relevant transaction may automatically be blocked. Where a transaction is blocked, the user will be notified that their transaction cannot be processed, and affected Users may follow the instructions provided by the payment processor to contest the decision.

Geolocation Information

If you have given Metrocare access to your location in your device settings, when you use your device, we will collect information about WiFi access points as well as other location information about your longitude and latitude and may save your device’s coordinates to offer certain features to you.

If you have given Metrocare access to your location, but wish to turn this off, you can do so by the following methods:

  • iPhone app — settings, privacy, location services, Metrocare
  • Android — settings, location, Metrocare, permissions, location

4.       WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

Service Providers

We engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to us (“Service Providers”). The suppliers with which Metrocare shares User personal data vary depending on a variety of factors, such as which of our App, Website and services a User engages with. For example, to provide our services to Users, we typically use the following suppliers:

  • Billing services – to allow customers to complete payments on our App (for example, third-party payment processors like Stripe)
  • Authentication services – to allow customers to authenticate their account
  • Product improvement and market research – we may use third party platforms and agencies to carry out customer surveys and market research to improve our products and services
  • IT services – some of the third-party software providers used in the operation of our business may process Users’ personal data

We carry out due diligence on all Service Providers we engage to ensure they have adequate data protection and information security measures in place and only provide them with the personal data necessary to the service they are providing. Measures are taken to ensure that the data shared is non-attributable to the greatest extent possible and our suppliers are also subject to extensive obligations under our contractual arrangements, including strict data retention limits.

Marketing Service Providers

We partner with providers of marketing service (such as Google Ads) to help us market and advertise our Services on third party websites and applications and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. For example:

  • to exclude you from advertising campaigns aimed at finding new users, if you already have a Metrocare account;
  • to show Metrocare advertisements to users who have visited the Metrocare App/Website but haven’t yet created a Metrocare account;
  • to create an audience for our advertisements of other potential users who have similar characteristics to you based on the information the Marketing Service Providers holds about you; or
  • to deliver customized advertising content to you based on your interests, your activity on our App/Website, and other information you share with us.

We share a limited amount of your personal data with these marketing service providers, such as:

  • the advertising identifier associated with your device (this is a random number assigned by your mobile device manufacturer to your device to help advertisers (including the manufacturer) know when an ad has been viewed or clicked in an app, and when an ad causes a ‘conversion’ (for example, downloading the app advertised to you))
  • your estimated location (based on your IP address)
  • age
  • data about your visit to our Website or App and action taken on those (for example if you downloaded our App, created an account with our App, or details of any purchases made on Site or in App)
  • the aggregated, sanitized data of users.

For more information about how we use cookies and other tracking technologies, including how you can set and manage your preferences with regards to such technologies, please see our Cookie Policy.

In some cases, these third parties will also use the data that they collect for their own purposes, for example they may aggregate your data with other data they hold and use this to inform advertising related services provided to other clients.

5.       WHAT OTHERS MAY SEE ABOUT YOU.

When using the Metrocare Service, please be careful about posting sensitive details about yourself on your profile. Your Metrocare profile and other information you make available via the App or Website may be viewed by Metrocare.

Metrocare does not knowingly collect any information about or market to children, minors or anyone under the age of 16. If we become aware that a child, minor or anyone under the age of 16 has registered with us and provided us with personal information, we will take steps to terminate that person’s registration.

If you are under 18 years of age, you will need permission from your parent or guardian to use the Service. Such permission must be provided to Metrocare in writing signed by your parent or guardian indicating the name of the person under 18 years of age, the date of travel, the location of pick up, and the location of drop off.

7.       SECURITY

Here at Metrocare, we pride ourselves on taking all appropriate security measures to help protect your information against loss, misuse and unauthorized access, or disclosure. We use reasonable security measures to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal information such as secured servers using firewalls.

Unfortunately, no website or Internet transmission is ever completely 100% secure and even we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or other breaches will never occur, but here are some handy tips to help keep your data secure:

  • Please make sure you log out of your Account after use.
  • Please don’t share the password you use to access your Metrocare Account with anyone else.
  • Change your password periodically.

We cannot guarantee the security of your personal data while it is being transmitted to our site and any transmission is at your own risk.

  • we must keep it to comply with applicable law (for instance, if you make purchases within the App, some personal data may be kept for tax and accounting purposes);
  • we must keep it to evidence our compliance with applicable law (for example, if an account is blocked, we keep some account information and a record of the behavior that led to the block – this information is retained for evidential purposes in case of queries or legal claims concerning the block);
  • there is an outstanding issue, claim or dispute requiring us to keep the relevant information until it is resolved; or
  • the information must be kept for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing Users’ safety and security (for example, information may need to be kept to prevent a user who was banned for unsafe behavior or security incidents from opening a new account).

Warning: Even after you remove information from your profile or delete your Account, copies of that information may still be viewable and/or accessed to the extent such information has been previously shared with others, or copied or stored by others. We cannot control this, nor do we accept any liability for this.
