Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 27, 2025

The Simple Version

FareBoost helps rideshare drivers maximize earnings. We collect minimal data: your payment info for subscriptions and temporarily use your location (with permission) to show you nearby surge zones. We don't store your location or share your personal data with third parties.

What We Collect

Payment Information

We collect payment details (credit card info, billing address) when you subscribe to FareBoost Pro. This is processed securely through our payment provider.

Location Data (Temporary Only)

With your permission, we access your device's location to show you nearby surge zones on the map. We don't store or save your location data - it's only used temporarily to display relevant surge information while you're using the app.

Basic App Usage

We collect basic technical information like your device type, app version, and how you use FareBoost to improve the service.

How We Use Your Information

Provide the service: Show you live surge data and predictions
Process payments: Handle your monthly subscription
Customer support: Help you when you contact us
Improve the app: Fix bugs and add features drivers want

What We Don't Do

We don't store or track your location history
We don't sell your personal data to anyone
We don't share your information with Uber or other rideshare companies
We don't send you marketing emails (unless you opt in)

Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information. Payment data is encrypted and processed through secure payment providers. However, no internet service is 100% secure.

Your Rights

You can:

Turn off location access anytime through your device settings
Cancel your subscription anytime
Request deletion of your account and data
Contact us for questions about your data

Third-Party Services

We use trusted service providers for:

Payment processing: To handle subscriptions securely
App analytics: To understand how drivers use FareBoost
Customer support: To help resolve issues

These providers only access data necessary for their specific service and are bound by strict privacy agreements.

Legal Compliance

We may disclose information if required by law, such as responding to legal requests from authorities or protecting our rights and users' safety.
