4. Location Data
RIDEX collects real-time location data from riders during active deliveries. This data is used to:
• Show customers live tracking of their delivery
• Calculate accurate ETAs
• Verify delivery routes and completion
Rider location is only tracked when a delivery is active. Location tracking stops once the delivery is confirmed or cancelled. Customers can see the rider's approximate location during delivery but do not have access to historical location data.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your information with:
Service Providers:
• Payment processors (Flutterwave) to handle transactions
• Cloud infrastructure and database providers (Supabase)
• Push notification services (Expo) to deliver order alerts
Within the Platform:
• Rider names and vehicle info are shared with customers during active deliveries
• Business sender info is visible to assigned riders for COD deliveries
• Company admins can view rider profiles and earnings within their company
Legal & Compliance:
• We may disclose data to law enforcement or regulatory bodies if required by Nigerian law or court order
• We may share data to investigate fraud, abuse, or safety threats
All third-party providers are bound by data processing agreements and may only use your data to provide services to RIDEX.
6. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as necessary to provide our services:
• Active account data: retained while your account is active
• Delivery and transaction records: 60–90 days after completion
• Financial records: may be retained longer for tax and legal compliance
• Fraud or dispute records: retained as long as necessary for resolution
When you delete your account, personal data is scheduled for deletion within 60–90 days, or anonymised where full deletion is not possible (e.g. financial audit trails).
7. Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information, including:
• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
• Secure database access controls via Supabase Row-Level Security
• Server-side payment verification (no raw card data stored on our servers)
• Regular security reviews and access audits
While we implement strong safeguards, no system is completely immune to breaches. In the event of a data breach affecting your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities as required by law.
8. Your Rights

RIDEX uses Expo push notifications to send you order updates, delivery status alerts, and important account notifications.
• You can manage notification preferences within your device settings
• Disabling notifications will not affect your ability to use the app, but you may miss important delivery updates
• Push notification tokens are stored securely and used solely to deliver relevant in-app communications
