  6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
    • We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites you visit and are stored on your device’s internal memory.
    • You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.
  7. Applications Permission
    • Since our driver application is related to delivery and our rider needs to know pickup and drop-off locations—plus we need current rider locations to manage them—when drivers go online in the driver app, we require background location permission to send them the nearest requests.
  8. Third-Party Links
    • Our Service may contain links to third-party websites not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. We strongly advise you to review every site’s Privacy Policy.

  9. Children’s Privacy
