Privacy Policy

RideSOS is built as a privacy-first vehicle QR platform. This page explains what customer, scanner, location, QR, and communication data may be processed to operate the service safely.

Data We Store

RideSOS stores account details, vehicle details, emergency contacts, medical notes, subscription status, payment records, sticker status, scan history, feedback, and alert logs needed to run the service.

Location Use

Browser GPS is requested only when a scanner chooses location sharing, Vehicle Blocking, or verified Emergency SOS. If permission is granted, a Google Maps location link may be sent to the vehicle owner.

Phone Privacy

Owner phone numbers and emergency contact numbers are not visually shown on normal public QR pages. Verified SOS may unlock direct tel links for safety while still avoiding plain number display.

WhatsApp Privacy

RideSOS WhatsApp linking is used for sending RideSOS alerts. The website does not read, display, or store personal WhatsApp chats.

Scan Metadata

When a QR is scanned or an alert is sent, RideSOS may store time, IP address, browser, device, alert reason, approximate location metadata, and permitted GPS location for safety and abuse prevention.

User Control

Customers can update profile details, vehicle details, emergency contacts, medical notes, WhatsApp linking, and feedback from the dashboard.
