Kwik operates, and processes personal data, globally; wherever and whenever you travel, your data travels with you so we can offer you a seamless experience. We also respect your data protection rights whether you are in your home country or elsewhere.
This means that we may transfer personal data to countries other than your home country in order to provide our services in a different country at your request. We may also transfer personal data to another country if that is necessary to respond to a customer support request that you submitted outside your region. And trip/order histories may be accessed by users in another country after they have left the country where services were rendered. Because our services involve multiple users at the same time, limited personal data may be accessible to the other user in another country.
We do so in order to fulfill our agreements with all of our users, or based on users’ instructions or prior consent, adequacy decisions for the relevant countries, or other transfer mechanisms as may be available under applicable law, such as the Terms & Conditions.
We may also transfer data to other countries in order to respond to a request for personal data from a law enforcement agency. To provide additional safeguards to these data transfers, Kwik applies a robust internal procedure for processing these requests. Kwik only discloses personal data to law enforcement agencies in a manner that is consistent with the regulatory requirements of applicable laws, such as the GDPR.
To help provide equivalent data protection wherever you use our services, Kwik has implemented the following measures across the globe:
- policies and procedures to limit access to, and the processing of personal data for defined purposes;
- specific training of personnel responsible for managing personal data;
- a government data access policy that refuses government access to data, except when disclosure is mandated by applicable laws including the EU GDPR, there is imminent risk of serious harm to individuals, or consent is obtained;
- robust protection of data while it is in transit between Kwik apps and our servers, and when the data is processed on our servers. This includes encryption and the use of pseudonymized data to help protect users’ full identity against unauthorized disclosure.
For your convenience, the exercise of your data protection rights can be directed to Kwik via any of the designated channels mentioned above, and will be handled centrally on behalf of the relevant controller. You may also use this form to submit a question to Kwik’s Data Protection Officer and to ask us for a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses or other transfer mechanisms in place for the data processing activity of your inquiry.

Kwik retains user data for as long as necessary for the purposes described above. The period for which we retain user data is determined by the type of data, the category of user to whom the data relates, and the purposes for which we collected the data. The length for which Kwik retains user data may further be determined by legal and regulatory requirements, purposes of safety, security, and fraud prevention, or by issues relating to the user’s account such as an outstanding credit or an unresolved claim or dispute.

Users may request deletion of their accounts at any time. Kwik may retain user data after a deletion request due to legal or regulatory requirements or for reasons stated in this policy. Users may request deletion of their account at any time through the Settings > Privacy menus in the Kwik app, or through Kwik’s website. Following an account deletion request, Kwik deletes the user’s account and data, unless they must be retained due to legal or regulatory requirements, for purposes of safety, security, and fraud prevention, or because of an issue relating to the user’s account such as an outstanding credit or an unresolved claim or dispute. Because we are subject to legal and regulatory requirements relating to drivers and delivery persons, this generally means that we retain their account and data for the applicable statutory retention period after a deletion request. For riders and order recipients, their data is generally deleted within 90 days of a deletion request, except where retention is necessary for the above reasons. |

Please check the available settings on your device or check with your provider. C. In-app ratings pages After every trip, drivers and riders are able to rate each other on a scale from 1 to 5. An average of those ratings is associated with a user’s account and is displayed to other users for whom they provide or receive services. For example, rider ratings are available to drivers from whom they request transportation, and driver ratings are available to their riders. This 2-way system holds everyone accountable for their behavior. Accountability helps create a respectful, safe environment for drivers and riders.
