We also use the terms "rider" for your salutation. All references to “rider” hereunder shall be deemed to refer to riders, walkers, cyclists and/or couriers (as the case may be).

Why and which personal data do we process?

Below you can see which of your data we need for which purposes and under which circumstances we share your data with others.

For what purposes do we process personal data? 

We only collect your personal data if this is necessary and the purpose is legal and the processing is proportionate. Below we would like to give you more information for the purposes and legal basis:

How long do we store personal data? 

We generally delete your data after the purpose has been fulfilled. The exact deletion rules are defined in our regional deletion concepts. Different deletion rules apply depending on the purpose of the processing. Within our deletion concepts we have defined various data classes and assigned rule deletion periods to them. When the retention period is met, the stored data will be deleted accordingly.

Under certain circumstances, any requests for deletion may be opposed by legal retention periods, which prevent us from deleting the stored data for a fixed minimum period of time. In order to comply with these legal requirements, we block the relevant data after the purpose has been fulfilled and thereby guarantee data completeness and data integrity.

With which data processors and why do we share personal data? 

We never give your data to unauthorized third parties. However, as part of our work we obtain the services of selected service providers and give them limited and strictly monitored access to some of our data. However, before we forward personal data to these data processors for processing on our behalf, each individual company undergoes an audit. All data recipients must meet the legal data protection requirements and prove their data protection level with appropriate proofs.

In the following we would like to inform you in a transparent and understandable way about all our data recipients with the respective reasons:

To which third countries do we transfer personal data?

We process your data mainly within the Asia-Pacific (APAC). However, some of our service providers mentioned above are based outside of APAC.

 

All our data receives have to measure up to certain requirements for the transfer of personal data to third countries. Before we transfer your data to a service provider in third countries, every service provider is first assessed with regard to its data protection level. Only if they can demonstrate an adequate level of data protection will they be shortlisted for service providers.

 

Regardless of whether our service providers are located within the APAC or in third countries, each service provider must sign a contract with us, which shall contain the provisions as required by the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486).
