GlossRide provides a payment and earnings app for private-hire and taxi drivers in Singapore. This policy explains what we collect when you use the GlossRide Driver app, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
GlossRide ("GlossRide", "we", "us") operates the GlossRide Driver mobile app and the website at glossride.com. We are the data controller for the information described here. If you have any question about your data, contact us at sales@glossride.com.
This policy covers the driver app only. Riders do not hold GlossRide accounts; a rider's card is charged in person at the end of a trip and their card details are handled entirely by our payment processor (see section 5).
We collect only what the app needs to verify you, pay you, and process card payments from riders.
| Category | What it includes | Why we need it |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Name, email address, phone number, and a password you set. | To create and secure your driver account and contact you about your account. |
| Driver verification | PHV / vehicle-licence details, vehicle make, model and plate, and proof documents you upload. | To confirm you are an eligible driver before enabling withdrawals, as required to operate. |
| Payout / bank | Bank name, account number, account holder name and (where applicable) branch/routing details. | To transfer your withdrawable earnings to your bank account. |
| Trip & earnings | Fares you enter, platform the trip came from, trip identifiers, and your wallet and payout history. | To calculate earnings, hold funds for clearance, and produce receipts and records. |
| Payment (in person) | The transaction amount and Stripe payment identifiers. We never see or store the rider's full card number. | To take a card payment from the rider and record that a ride was paid. |
| Location | Your device's location at the moment you accept a card payment (see section 4). | Required by our payment processor and by Tap to Pay to authorise in-person card payments. |
| Device & notifications | Device model and OS version, app version, a push-notification token, and basic diagnostic logs. | To send you notifications, keep the app working, and diagnose problems. |
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
Accepting a card payment on your phone ("Tap to Pay") requires device location. This is a requirement of the card networks and our payment processor to authorise an in-person, card-present transaction and to help prevent fraud.
We request location only when you begin collecting a payment — not continuously and not in the background. If location permission or your device's location service is off, the app tells you and lets you turn it on, or take the payment by entering the card manually. You can change the permission at any time in your device settings; without it, in-person card payments cannot be processed.
Card payments are processed by Stripe, our payment provider. When a rider pays, their card details are collected and processed directly by Stripe under Stripe's own security and privacy terms — GlossRide never receives or stores the rider's full card number, CVC or PIN. We receive only the payment amount, its status, and Stripe reference identifiers so we can record the payment and credit your wallet.
Stripe processes this data as an independent controller/processor for payments. See stripe.com/privacy for details of how Stripe handles payment information.
With your permission, we send push notifications about your payments, payouts and account — for example, when a ride is paid, a withdrawal is processed, or a transaction needs your attention. These are delivered through the Expo push service and the platform's notification service (Google / Apple). To do this we store a device push token linked to your account.
You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings. Turning them off does not affect your ability to be paid, but you may miss timely updates.
We share personal information only with service providers that help us run the app, and only as needed:
These providers may store and process data outside Singapore; we take reasonable steps to ensure it stays protected to a comparable standard.
We keep your account and transaction records for as long as your account is active and for the period afterwards that we are required to for tax, accounting and dispute-resolution purposes. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it. Payment records held by Stripe are retained under Stripe's own retention rules.
Access to the app is protected by your password and, optionally, your device biometrics. Data in transit is encrypted, financial writes are restricted server-side, and sensitive operations require you to be the authenticated account holder. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and to limit who can access it.
You can, at any time:
As we operate in Singapore, we handle personal data in line with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). If you are covered by other data-protection laws, those rights are respected where they apply.
GlossRide Driver is for licensed drivers and is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
We may update this policy as the app evolves or the law changes. When we make a material change, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use of GlossRide Driver after an update means you accept the revised policy.
