Privacy Policy

The Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to all tyt users, including Riders and Drivers (including Driver applicants), and to all tyt platforms and services, including our apps, websites, features, and other services (collectively, the “tyt Platform”). Please remember that your use of the tyt Platform is also subject to our Terms of Service.

The Information We Collect

When you use the tyt Platform, we collect the information you provide, usage information, and information about your device. We also collect information about you from other sources like third-party services, and optional programs in which you participate, which we may combine with other information we have about you. Here are the types of information we collect about you:

A. Information You Provide to Us

Account Registration. When you create an account with tyt, we collect the information you provide us, such as your name, email address, phone number, birth date, and payment information. You may choose to share additional info with us for your Rider profile, like your photo or saved addresses (e.g., home or work), and set up other preferences (such as your preferred pronouns).

Driver Information. If you apply to be a Driver, we will collect the information you provide in your application, including your name, email address, phone number, birth date, profile photo, physical address, government identification number (such as social security number), driver’s license information, vehicle information, and car insurance information. We collect the payment information you provide us, including your bank routing numbers, and tax information. Depending on where you want to drive, we may also ask for additional business license or permit information or other information to manage driving and programs relevant to that location. We may need additional information from you at some point after you become a Driver, including information to confirm your identity (like a photo).

SOS Contact Information We will collect the contact list permission to list the contacts while adding the sos contacts for user & driver app

Ratings and Feedback. When you rate and provide feedback about Riders or Drivers, we collect all of the information you provide in your feedback.

Communications. When you contact us or we contact you, we collect any information that you provide, including the contents of the messages or attachments you send us.

B. Information We Collect When You Use the tyt Platform

Location Information. Great rides start with an easy and accurate pickup. The tyt Platform collects location information (including GPS and WiFi data) differently depending on your tyt app settings and device permissions as well as whether you are using the platform as a Rider or Driver:

  • Riders: We collect your device’s precise location when you open and use the tyt app, including while the app is running in the background from the time you request a ride until it ends. tyt also tracks the precise location of scooters and e-bikes at all times.
  • Drivers: We collect your device’s precise location when you open and use the app, including while the app is running in the background when it is in driver mode. We also collect precise location for a limited time after you exit driver mode in order to detect ride incidents, and continue collecting it until a reported or detected incident is no longer active.

Usage Information. We collect information about your use of the tyt Platform, including ride information like the date, time, destination, distance, route, payment, and whether you used a promotional or referral code. We also collect information about your interactions with the tyt Platform like our apps and websites, including the pages and content you view and the dates and times of your use.

Device Information. We collect information about the devices you use to access the tyt Platform, including device model, IP address, type of browser, version of operating system, identity of carrier and manufacturer, radio type (such as 4G), preferences and settings (such as preferred language), application installations, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, and push notification tokens. If you are a Driver, we also collect mobile sensor data from your device (such as speed, direction, height, acceleration, deceleration, and other technical data).

Communications Between Riders and Drivers. We work with a third party to facilitate phone calls and text messages between Riders and Drivers without sharing either party’s actual phone number with the other. But while we use a third party to provide the communication service, we collect information about these communications, including the participants’ phone numbers, the date and time, and the contents of SMS messages. For security purposes, we may also monitor or record the contents of phone calls made through the tyt Platform, but we will always let you know we are about to do so before the call begins.

Address Book Contacts. You may set your device permissions to grant tyt access to your contact lists and direct tyt to access your contact list, for example to help you refer friends to tyt. If you do this, we will access and store the names and contact information of the people in your address book.

Cookies, Analytics, and Third-Party Technologies. We collect information through the use of “cookies”, tracking pixels, data analytics tools like Google Analytics, SDKs, and other third-party technologies to understand how you navigate through the tyt Platform and interact with tyt advertisements, to make your tyt experience safer, to learn what content is popular, to improve your site experience, to serve you better ads on other sites, 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 tyt Platform. 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 miss out on certain features of the tyt Platform.

C. Information We Collect from Third Parties

Third-Party Services. Third-party services provide us with information needed for core aspects of the tyt Platform, as well as for additional services, programs, loyalty benefits, and promotions that can enhance your tyt experience. These third-party services include background check providers, insurance partners, financial service providers, marketing providers, and other businesses. We obtain the following information about you from these third-party services:

  • Information to make the tyt Platform safer, like background check information for drivers;
  • Information about your participation in third-party programs that provide things like insurance coverage and financial instruments, such as insurance, payment, transaction, and fraud detection information;
  • Information to operationalize loyalty and promotional programs or applications, services, or features you choose to connect or link to your tyt account, such as information about your use of such programs, applications, services, or features; and
  • Information about you provided by specific services, such as demographic and market segment information.
