For Sellers: We collect your device's location accurately when you open and use the Fawala application, including when the application is running in the background from the time you request a trip until its completion. The Fawala application also accurately tracks the location of motorcycles and electric bicycles at all times.

For Buyers: We collect your device's location accurately when you open and use the application, including when it's running in the background when you're in buyer mode. We also accurately collect your device's location for a limited time after you exit buyer mode to detect trip statuses and continue collecting it until the reported or detected status is no longer active.

Usage Information: We collect information about your usage of the Fawala application, including trip information such as date, time, destination, distance, route, payment, and whether you used a promo code or referral code. We also collect information about your interactions with our applications and websites, including the pages and content you view and the dates and times of your usage.

If you're a driver, we also collect sensitive data from your mobile device (such as speed, direction, altitude, acceleration, deceleration, and other technical data).
