Privacy Policy

PASS Global Privacy Policy

Learn how PASS Global Services Limited collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data across all PASS services.

1. Scope and Application

This Privacy Policy governs all personal data processed by PASS Global Services Limited and its affiliates across all products and services, including PASSRIDE, PASS COURIER, and PASSMALL (the "PASS Super App”).

It applies to riders, drivers, delivery partners, merchants, shoppers, website visitors, and any individual interacting with PASS platforms, applications, APIs, or support channels.

By accessing or using PASS services, users acknowledge and agree to the collection and use of personal data as described in this Policy.

2. Definitions

Personal Data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual, including name, contact details, location data, payment information, device identifiers, and government-issued identification.

Processing includes the collection, storage, use, disclosure, transfer, or deletion of personal data.

3. Categories of Data We Collect

PASS collects personal data directly from users, automatically through platform usage, and from third parties where permitted by law.

  • Account registration details
  • Identity verification documents for drivers and delivery partners
  • Trip, delivery, and order information
  • Precise and background location data
  • Payment and transaction records
  • Device, log, and usage data
  • Customer support communications and feedback

4. Account Registration and Identity Verification

Users are required to create an account to access PASS services.

Drivers and delivery partners operating under the Bring-Your-Own-Car (BYOC) and bike model must submit government-issued identification such as National ID cards, driver’s licenses, and vehicle documents.

This information is collected strictly for safety, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance.

5. Camera Access

PASS uses camera access only when required to enable core features such as uploading profile photos, identity and vehicle documents for drivers and delivery partners, proof of delivery, and support-related images.

Camera access is user-initiated, is not used in the background, and images are collected only for the stated purpose.

Camera data is securely stored, not used for advertising, and retained only for as long as necessary in accordance with applicable laws and PASS data retention policies.

6. Use of Location Data

PASS collects precise location data during active trips and deliveries.

Background location data may be collected when the app is running in the background to support trip safety, navigation, fraud prevention, real-time tracking, and accurate fare or delivery fee calculation.

Location tracking automatically stops when a service is completed or when a driver or delivery partner goes offline.

7. How We Use Personal Data

PASS uses personal data to operate and improve its services.

  • Provide transportation, delivery, and marketplace services
  • Match riders with drivers and couriers
  • Process payments, refunds, and disputes
  • Ensure safety, security, and fraud prevention
  • Comply with legal and regulatory obligations
  • Communicate service-related updates

PASS does not use personal data for unrelated purposes without user consent.

8. Payments, Billing, and Financial Information

PASS processes payments through licensed third-party payment providers, including mobile money operators such as Momo, Telecel Cash, and AT Money, as well as card and POS payment gateways.

PASS does not store full payment card details on its servers.

9. Third-Party Data Sharing

PASS shares limited personal data with trusted third parties only as necessary to operate services.

  • Navigation and mapping providers (e.g., Google Maps)
  • Payment processors and financial institutions
  • Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers
  • Customer support and communication tools
  • Regulatory or law enforcement authorities where required by law

All third-party sharing is governed by contractual and security safeguards.

10. Delivery and Marketplace Data

For PASS COURIER and PASSMALL, PASS processes sender, recipient, merchant, and order information to facilitate logistics, order fulfillment, tracking, dispute resolution, and customer support.

Product images, delivery confirmations, and proof-of-delivery records may be retained for audit and dispute purposes.

PASS retains personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill service delivery, safety, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, and regulatory obligations.

If personal data of a child under applicable legal age is identified, it will be deleted without delay.

14. Safety, Compliance, and Misuse Prevention

PASS processes personal data to detect fraud, enforce platform policies, investigate incidents, and protect users and the public.

15. International Data Transfers

PASS may transfer personal data across borders and implements safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

16. User Rights

Depending on jurisdiction, users may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection to personal data processing.

17. Security Measures

PASS applies administrative, technical, and organizational security measures to protect personal data.

No system is completely secure, and users acknowledge inherent risks.

Material updates will be communicated through the app or other appropriate channels.
