This privacy policy was last revised on September 5th, 2016. Each time You use the STEER Platform or provide Us with information, by doing so You are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time.

Data We Collect From You

In order to operate the STEER Platform and to provide You with information about products or services that may be of interest to You, We may collect “personal information” (i.e. information that could be used to contact You directly (without using the STEER Platform) such as full name, postal address, phone number, credit/debit card information, or email address) or “demographic information” (i.e. information that You submit, or that We collect, that is not personal information; this may include, but is not limited to, zip code / postal code, hometown, gender, username, age/birth date, browsing history information, searching history information, and registration history information). We will also collect the contact information of Your friends, if You choose to connect Your contacts and address book information with STEER and Your login credentials to Your social network accounts, such as Facebook, if You choose to connect those accounts with your STEER account. You represent and warrant that You have the authority to provide Us with any such contact information. Demographic information is divided into two categories:

Please note that nowhere on the STEER Platform do We knowingly collect, keep or maintain personal information from children under the age of 18, as We require that all users represent to Us that they are at least 18 years old.

How We Use Personal Information

We use Your email address and Your other personal information to help Us efficiently operate the STEER Platform, to contact You in connection with Your transactions and other activities on the STEER Platform (including, but not limited to, confirmation emails, or important news that could affect Your relationship with STEER), to forward trip information to You from other Users, to forward trip information from You to other Users, and to contact You and others to suggest potential matches. We use Your contact information to find and connect with Your friends (when instructed by You). These types of communications are known as “Operational Communications.” In some cases, Operational Communications may also contain commercial messages, such as banner ads and special offers.

To operate the STEER Platform, including processing Your transactions and supporting Your activities on the STEER Platform, We may share Your personal information with Our agents, representatives, contractors and service providers so they can provide Us with support services such as email origination, receipt or support services, customer relationship management services, and order fulfillment. We require these entities not to use Your information for any other purpose.

By purchasing, or registering or making reservations for, products or services offered or sponsored by third parties on the STEER Platform, or electing to receive communications (such as emails or material by mail) or electing to participate in contests, sweepstakes or other programs (such as discount or rewards programs), offered or sponsored by third parties on the STEER Platform, You consent to Our providing Your personal information to those third parties. Those third parties may use Your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. You will need to contact those third parties to instruct them directly regarding Your preferences for the use of Your personal information by them. Additionally, You agree that We may use and disclose all such information so submitted to such third parties in the same manner in which We are entitled to use and disclose any other information You submit to Us.

Any third party with whom We are allowed to share Your personal information is authorized to use Your personal information in accordance with Our contractual arrangements with such third parties and in accordance with their own privacy policies, over which We have no control, and You agree that We are not responsible or liable for any of their actions or omissions. Those who contact You will need to be instructed directly by You regarding Your preferences for the use of Your personal information by them.

Location Data (Riders & Drivers)

Location data (riders and drivers). The STEER Application collects precise or approximate location data from the rider’s and driver’s mobile device, when enabled to do so. STEER collects this data from the time a user logs into the application, to when a ride is request, accepted, started and finished. STEER uses this data to enhance the experience and use of the app, to improve real-time driver tracking, improve pick-ups and drop-offs and to detect and prevent fraudulent activities. STEER collects the driver location data, and associates each driver’s data collected to a trip the corresponding rider to help customer support, produce receipts and ride history for the customers.

How We Use Demographic Data

We may review all demographic Data. We may use public information to enable other users to search Your profile, to determine whether Your trip details fit other user’s requirements, and to communicate with You. We may use demographic information to tailor the STEER Platform and communications to Your interests. We may also share demographic information with advertisers on an anonymous and aggregated basis (i.e., without telling the advertisers Your identity). One of the reasons We may do this is to increase the likelihood that Our advertisers’ goods and services will appeal to You as a user of the STEER Platform. Our sharing of demographic information with advertisers is anonymous (i.e., We do not tell advertisers which particular STEER Users are members of which demographic groups), subject to the rest of this privacy policy. When You respond to an advertisement, however, We ask You to remember that if that ad that is targeted to a demographic group and You decide to give the advertiser Your personal information, then the advertiser may be able to identify You as being a member of that demographic group.

How to Edit Your Information

STEER provides You with the ability to access and edit Your personal information. To update Your personal info, click Settings in the STEER menu. There You can view, update and correct Your account information.

So that We can protect the integrity of sensitive data, there are certain pieces of information, such as Your age, that You cannot alter Yourself.

Our databases automatically update any personal information You edit in Your profile, or that You request We edit. Information transmitted through boards, chats, polls or through any other means remain in Our databases and become the property of STEER upon submission. Keep this in mind if You decide to communicate personal information through any of these applications.

Information Retention

To preserve the integrity of Our databases, standard procedure calls for Us to retain information submitted by members for an indefinite length of time. STEER understands Your submissions as consent to store all Your information in one place for this indefinite length of time, if We so wish. If required by law, as is the case to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), We will nullify member information by erasing it from Our database. We will also respond to written member requests to nullify account information. Also, by using the STEER Platform, You do hereby represent and warrant that You understand and agree that all information submitted by You through the STEER Platform or otherwise to STEER becomes the property of STEER and may be used in the sole discretion of STEER in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.

STEER gives Users the option to remove their information from Our database, to not receive future communications or to no longer receive Our service.

Special Cases in Which We Share Personal Information

Your personal information may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy. We may also disclose personal information when We determine that such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, to cooperate with law enforcement or to protect the interests or safety of STEER or other visitors to the STEER Platform. We also may disclose Your personal information to Our subsidiary and parent companies and businesses, and other affiliated legal entities and businesses with whom We are under common corporate control.
