(a) Contact Information
When you sign up for a user account with us, you will need to provide us with an active phone number. We use your registered phone number to verify your identity and communicate with you. When creating a user account or using our Service, you may also register your e-mail address. This will enable us to more effectively be able to communicate directly with you when administering the contractual relationship, such as sending necessary information related to our Service.
(b) Age Information
When you sign up for a user account with us, we may need to verify your age to ensure that you meet our age criteria for using the Service, currently minimum 15 years old. You can either verify your age through a third-party app (currently Vipps), or we may collect data concerning your age by using the service of a third party, Byndle (https://byndle.no/personsok/).

We collect GPS Location Data from your mobile phone or the vehicle at the beginning and in the end of a trip, and every 30 seconds during the trip. The information is necessary in order to provide you with our Service, e.g. give you access to nearby vehicles and calculate payment costs for the rides.
(d) Payment Information
You are required to add a credit card, or another payment method to pay for your rides. We will use payment information to complete the required transactions. We will, however, not store any of your credit card details.

The yes/no answer is stored for 14 days to quality check the technical solution, and will be used for no other purpose. If you want to delete the data before 14 days you can do so by contacting customer service. The information is i.a. collected by using the service of a third party, Sightic Analytics, that is dependent on Apple's TrueDepth API, if applicable.
Our legal basis for the processing of your personal data for this purpose is the contract with you (GDPR article 6 no.1 letter b).

We don’t transfer any system IDs to Sightic Analytics.

Technically, however, the indicator can be “traced” back to the individual. Personal data is anonymized when it is no longer possible to re-identify the individual.
