Last Updated: December 10, 2025
Global Policy

At Urban Cab, your trust is our most valuable asset. We use your data exclusively to provide safe, reliable transportation and to improve your experience. We never sell your personal information to anyone.

1 Information We Collect

Account & Profile Information

  • Contact Details: Your name, email address, and mobile phone number for account creation and ride notifications.
  • Profile Photo: Optional photo to help drivers identify you at pickup locations.
  • Saved Places: Home, work, and favorite addresses for quick booking.
  • Payment Information: Secure tokens for UPI or cards. We never store raw card numbers—payment processing is handled by certified partners.
Location Services

We collect precise GPS location to:

  • Match you with nearby available drivers
  • Show real-time driver location and ETAs
  • Track your ride route for safety monitoring
  • Calculate accurate fares based on distance traveled

Your Control: You can disable location services in your device settings, but you'll need to manually enter pickup and drop-off addresses.

2 How We Use Your Data

  • Service Delivery: Matching you with drivers, processing payments, sending ride confirmations and ETAs.
  • Safety Features: Real-time trip monitoring via RideCheck, emergency assistance, and incident investigation.
  • Customer Support: Resolving disputes, handling refunds, and answering your questions.
  • Service Improvement: Analyzing app usage to fix bugs and enhance features (using anonymized data where possible).

3 Who We Share Data With

We share only the minimum information necessary to complete your service:

Your Driver

  • Shared: Your first name, profile photo, pickup location, and destination.
