At Angel Ride Network, we want to connect people through transportation and bring communities together. In this privacy policy, we tell you what information we receive from our riders and drivers, and how we use it to connect riders with drivers and continue to improve our services. Below, we explain how you can share with other riders and drivers in the Angel Ride Network community as part of our mission to bring people together.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

Angel Ride Network (“ARNC.Cab,” “ARNC.taxi,” “ARNCcab.com,” “ARNCtaxi.com,” “RegisterNcab.com” “Angleridenetwork.com,” “Family Connect,” “ARNC app,” “ARNC,” “we,” “our,” and/or “us”) values the privacy of individuals who use our applications, websites, and related services (collectively, the “Angel Ride Network”). This privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) explains how we collect, use, and share information from our users (“Users”), comprised of both riders (“Riders”) and drivers (including Driver applicants) (“Drivers”). Beyond the Privacy Policy, your use of Angel Ride Network is also subject to our Terms of Service.www.angleridenetwork.com)

Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide to Us

Registration Information. When you sign up for a Angel Ride Network account, you give us your name, email address, and phone number. If you decide to sign up for Angel Ride Network using your Facebook account, we will also get basic information from your Facebook profile like your name, gender, profile photo, and Facebook friends.

User Profile Information. When you join the Angel Ride Network community, you can create a Profile to share fun facts about yourself, and discover mutual friends and interests. Filling out a profile is optional, and you can share as little or as much as you want. Your name (and for Drivers, Profile photos) is always part of your Profile. Read more below about how you can control who sees your Profile. You can also add a Business Profile to your account, which requires a designated business email address and payment method.

Payment Method. When you add a credit card or payment method to your Angel Ride Network account, a third party that handles payments for us will receive your card information. To keep your financial data secure, we do not store full credit card information on our servers.

Communications. If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you. For example, when you contact our Customer Support Team, we will receive your name, email address, phone number, the contents of a message or attachments that you may send to us, and other information you choose to provide.

Cab Companies & Driver Application Information. If you decide to join our Angel Ride Network Cab company & driver community, in addition to the basic registration information we ask you for your date of birth, physical address, Social Security number, driver’s license information, other licenses to operate, vehicle information, car insurance information, and in some jurisdictions we may collect additional business license or permitting information. We share this information with our partners who help us by running background checks on Drivers to help protect the Angel Ride Network community.

Payment Information. To make sure Drivers and Cab Companies get paid, we keep information such as bank routing numbers, tax information, and any other payment information provided by Cab companies & Drivers.

B. Information We Collect When You Use the Angel Ride Network

Location Information. Angel Ride Network is all about connecting Drivers and Riders. To do this, we need to know where you are. When you open ARNC app on your mobile device, we receive your location. We may also collect the precise location of your device when the app is running in the foreground or background. If you label certain locations, such as “home” and “work,” we receive that information, too.

Your location information is necessary for things like matching Riders with nearby Drivers, determining drop off and pick up locations, and suggesting destinations based on previous trips. Also, if the need ever arises, our Trust & Safety team may use and share location information to help protect the safety of our Users or a member of the public. In addition to the reasons described above, Drivers’ location information and distance travelled is necessary for calculating charges and insurance for Angel Ride Network rides. If you give us permission through your device settings or ARNC app, we may collect your location while the app is off to identify promotions or service updates in your area.

Device Information. Angel Ride Network receives information from Users’ devices, including IP address, web browser type, mobile operating system version, phone carrier and manufacturer, application installations, device identifiers, mobile advertising identifiers, push notification tokens, and, if you register with your Facebook account, your Facebook identifier. We collect mobile sensor data from Drivers’ devices (such as speed, direction, height, acceleration or deceleration) to improve location accuracy and analyze usage patterns.

Usage Information. To help us understand how you use the Angel Ride Network and to help us improve it, we automatically receive information about your interactions with the Our Platform, like the pages or other content you view, your actions within the ARNC app, and the dates and times of your visits.

Call and Text Information. We work with a third party partner to facilitate phone calls and text messages between Cab companies, Riders and Drivers who have been connected for a ride. We receive information about these communications including the date and time of the call or SMS message, the parties’ phone numbers, and the content of any SMS messages. For security purposes, we may also monitor and/or record the contents of phone calls made on the Angel Ride Network, such as those between Cab companies, Riders and Drivers. You will be given notice that your call may be recorded, and by proceeding you agree to allow Angel Ride Network to monitor and/or record your call.

User Feedback. At Angel Ride Network, we want to make sure Users are always enjoying great rides. Riders and Drivers may rate and review each other at the end of every ride. We receive information about ratings and reviews and, as we explain below, give Riders information about Drivers’ ratings and reviews and vice versa.

Address Book Contacts. If you permit ARNC to access the address book on your device through the permission system used by your mobile platform, we may access and store names and contact information from your address book to facilitate invitations and social interactions that you initiate through our Angel Ride Network and for other purposes described in this privacy policy or at the time of consent or collection.

Information from Cookies and Similar Technologies. We collect information through the use of “cookies”, tracking pixels, and similar technologies to understand how you navigate through the Angel Ride Network and interact with ARNC advertisements, to learn what content is popular, and to save your preferences. Cookies are small text files that web servers place on your device; they are designed to store basic information and to help websites and apps recognize your browser. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be accessed every time you use the Angel Ride Network. You should consult your web browser(s) to modify your cookie settings. Please note that if you delete or choose not to accept cookies from us, you may be missing out on certain features of the Angel Ride Network.

C. Information We Collect from Third Parties

Third Party Services. If you choose to register for ARNC or otherwise link your ARNC or Family Connect account with a third party’s service (such as Facebook), we may receive the same type of information we collect from you (described above) directly from those services.

Third Party Partners. We may receive additional information about you, such as demographic data, payment information, or fraud detection information, from third party partners and combine it with other information that we have about you.

Enterprise Programs. If your company, university, or organization participates in one of our enterprise programs, we may receive information about you, such as your email address, from your participating organization. We also may give your participating organization the opportunity to request a ride on your behalf, in which case they may provide us with your name, phone number, and the pickup and drop off location for your ride.

Background Information on Drivers. Angel Ride Network works with third party partners to perform driving record and criminal background checks on Drivers, and we receive information from them such as publicly available information about a Driver’s driving record or criminal history.

How We Share the Information We Collect

A. Sharing Between Users

Sharing between Riders and Drivers. Riders and Drivers that have been matched for a ride are able to see basic information about each other, such as names, photo, ratings, and any information they have added to their Profiles. Riders and Drivers who connect their ARNC accounts to Facebook will also be able to see their mutual Facebook friends during the ride. Drivers see the pick-up location that the Rider has provided. Riders see a Driver’s vehicle information and real-time location as the Driver approaches the pick-up location. Riders’ ratings of Drivers are shared with Drivers on a weekly basis. Although we help Riders and Drivers communicate with one another to arrange a pickup, we do not share your actual phone number or other contact information with other Users. If you report a lost or found item to us, we will seek to connect you with the relevant Rider or Driver, including sharing actual contact information with your permission.

B. Sharing Between Angel Ride Network and Third Parties

API and Integration Partners. If you connect to the Angel Ride Network through an integration with a third party service, we may share information about your use of the Angel Ride Network with that third party. We may share your information with our third party partners in order to receive additional information about you. We may also share your information with third party partners to create offers that may be of interest to you.

Third Party Services. The Angel Ride Network may allow you to connect with other websites, products, or services that we don’t have control over (for example, we may give you the ability to use delivery service from within our app). If you use these services, we will provide the third party with information about you to allow them to provide the service to you (for example, we would give them your name, phone number and address to drop off the delivery). We can’t speak to the privacy practices of these third parties, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies before deciding whether to use their services.

Service Providers. We work with third party service providers to perform services on our behalf, and we may share your information with such service providers to help us provide the Angel Ride Network, including all of the things described in Section 3 above.

Domestic & International Partners. We collaborate with several companies & service providers around the globe so Riders can continue to find rides, and Drivers can provide services inside U.S. or outside. When we match a ride with the partner, we share the same information that is shared between matched Riders and Drivers on the Angel Ride Network. We are unable to mask your phone numbers if you call drivers and vice versa, so please keep that in mind.

Other Sharing. We may share your information with third parties in the following cases:

While negotiating or in relation to a change of corporate control such as a restructuring, merger or sale of our assets;
If a government authority requests information and we think disclosure is required or appropriate in order to comply with laws, regulations, or a legal process;
With law enforcement officials, government authorities, or third parties if we think doing so is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Angel Ride Network community, ARNC apps, or the public.
