12. Location Data

Accurate delivery depends on knowing where you are — but we believe location data should be collected sparingly, used only for the job at hand, and never traded or exploited. This section explains exactly how we handle it.

12.1 What we collect

  • A one-time GPS pin (latitude and longitude) — captured only when you tap "Use my current location" at checkout, and only with your browser's explicit permission.
  • Your delivery address details — street, village/city, country, and any landmark you choose to type.

We never track you in the background. Location is captured once, at your tap, solely to complete your delivery. The app has no ability — and no desire — to follow you at any other time.

12.2 How we use it

  • To get your order to you — your pin opens directly in your rider's navigation app, so they find your door without phone-tag.
  • To help fill in your address — we ask OpenStreetMap to translate your pin into a street or village name as a starting point. You can always edit or replace it.
  • To charge the right delivery fee — your village or free-delivery zone determines the fee, so fairness depends on accurate location.

Your pin is visible only to the rider assigned to your order, and only while that delivery is active. Staff access is restricted to fulfilling orders.

12.3 What we never do

  • We do not run background or continuous location tracking.
  • We do not sell, rent, or share location data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for marketing.
  • We do not use your location for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to your delivery.

12.4 Third-party services

Only two services ever touch your location: OpenStreetMap (a one-time lookup that converts your pin into an address suggestion — coordinates only) and Google Maps (which the rider's navigation button opens with your pin). Neither receives your name or order details, and each is governed by its own privacy policy.

12.5 Retention & your control

  • Your pin is kept with your order history so we can re-deliver, resolve disputes, and verify past deliveries — and nowhere else.
  • You can deny location permission and simply type your address manually — checkout works fully without the pin.
  • You can update or delete saved addresses anytime in My Account → Addresses.
  • Closing your account removes your location data along with it (see Section 7), or email us anytime to have location removed from a specific past order.

Questions about your location data? Email [email protected] — you will always get a straight answer about what we hold, and you can have it deleted on request.
