Privacy Policy – Drivers and Fleets

Version 2026-10-16-v0.99 · Effective date:

PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING POLICY

for drivers and fleets – the “Weyo Driver” mobile application and the “Weyo Fleet” web portal

Who this policy is intended for: This policy is intended for drivers, Carriers, Fleets and users of the “Weyo Driver” mobile application and the “Weyo Fleet” web portal (see Section 3 for details). If you are a passenger using the “Weyo Passenger” application, the processing of your personal data is governed by the separate Personal Data Processing Policy for Passengers, available at https://withweyo.com/pravni/privacy_policy.

1 Personal data controller

The controller of personal data within the meaning of Article 4(7) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data (hereinafter “GDPR”) is:

Trans Flow s.r.o.

(hereinafter the “Controller” or “we”).

The Controller has not appointed a data protection officer (DPO). For all matters concerning the processing of personal data and the exercise of data subjects’ rights, the Controller may be contacted using the contact details above.

2 Introduction

The “WEYO” platform is a digital platform through which passengers in the Czech Republic order passenger transport from independent carriers. Within the platform, the Controller acts as a taxi service intermediary within the meaning of Section 2(10) and Section 21e of Act No. 111/1994 Coll., on Road Transport (hereinafter the “Road Transport Act”). Transport (hereinafter a “Ride”) is provided by a carrier holding the relevant authorisation to conduct business (hereinafter the “Carrier”) through a driver. The Carrier is either a driver conducting business on their own account or a Fleet.

The “Weyo Driver” mobile application for the iOS and Android operating systems is intended for drivers. The “Weyo Fleet” web portal, including the fleet registration (onboarding) process, is intended for carriers managing vehicles and drivers (hereinafter collectively the “Application”). Through the Application, the Controller provides registration and verification of drivers, vehicles and fleets, intermediation of Ride offers, settlement and payouts, communication, support and safety features (hereinafter the “Service”).

This policy describes what personal data we process in connection with the use of the Application and provision of the Service, for what purposes, on what legal basis, for how long, to whom we disclose it and what rights data subjects have. It forms an integral part of the Controller’s information obligations under Articles 13 and 14 GDPR.

3 Who this policy is intended for

This policy is intended in particular for the following categories of data subjects:

Drivers and Fleets are also referred to collectively in this policy as “Partners”; all the persons listed above are also referred to as “users”. Only a holder of a taxi driver’s authorisation may work as a taxi driver (Section 21c of the Road Transport Act), and this authorisation may only be granted to a person over 21 years of age; the Weyo Driver application is therefore not intended for persons who do not meet these conditions.

4 Roles of the Controller and Fleets, and mutual disclosure of data

In relation to personal data processed through the Application, Trans Flow s.r.o. acts as a controller that independently determines the purposes and means of processing.

A Fleet is an independent controller in relation to its drivers, users and vehicles. In particular, it is responsible for the lawfulness of the data about drivers and vehicles that it enters into the Application and for the processing of data that the Controller makes available to it through the Weyo Fleet portal. The Fleet must inform its drivers and users of the transfer of their data to the Controller and refer them to this policy.

Through the Weyo Fleet portal, within the permissions of individual users, we make available to the Fleet in particular:

We do not disclose detailed incident reports to the Fleet unless this is necessary to resolve the incident or fulfil the Fleet’s obligations as a carrier. Access to data in the Weyo Fleet portal is technically restricted to data on the drivers and vehicles of the relevant Fleet.

The following disclosure of data is also necessary to carry out a Ride:

If a passenger uses the feature for sharing a Ride, the persons to whom the passenger sends the link can use the location-sharing web page during the Ride to follow the vehicle’s location, route and estimated time of arrival and see the driver’s name and vehicle details (make, model, colour, registration number). The link has a limited validity period and stops displaying the location once the Ride ends.

We retain the confirmation of transport, which the Carrier is required to keep for at least 3 years (Section 21(7) of the Road Transport Act), in the Application for the Carrier as its processor.

5 What personal data we process

5.1 Registration, identification and contact data

5.2 Documents, authorisations and verification results

The legal bases for processing data from documents are performance of a contract, the Controller’s legal obligation as a taxi service intermediary, and the Controller’s legitimate interest (see Section 6). If a driver voluntarily provides a photograph (copy) of their identity card for verification, they thereby consent to a copy being made within the meaning of Section 39(c) of Act No. 269/2021 Coll., on Identity Cards. We use only the data from the document that are necessary for verification.

The Controller does not require an extract from the Criminal Register and does not process personal data relating to criminal convictions and offences under Article 10 GDPR. The driver’s good character and reliability are assessed by the competent authority when granting the taxi driver’s authorisation. The Controller verifies only the existence and validity of that authorisation.

5.3 Vehicle data

5.4 Operational data and location

5.5 Financial data

5.6 Communication, support and safety

5.7 Technical and operational data

5.8 Sources of personal data

We obtain personal data primarily directly from the driver or Weyo Fleet portal user and from use of the Application. We may also obtain them:

The Controller does not intentionally process special categories of personal data under Article 9 GDPR (e.g. health data or biometric data). Document verification does not use biometric facial recognition. Users must not enter such data into the Application. If such data nevertheless appear (e.g. in an incident report), we process them only to the extent necessary to resolve the incident and protect rights.

We process personal data only for specific, explicit and legitimate purposes, on the following legal bases within the meaning of Article 6 GDPR:

Providing personal data for registration, verification and intermediation of Rides is a contractual and, in part, statutory requirement. Without these data, a driver, vehicle or Fleet cannot be activated in the Application. Where consent is the legal basis, giving consent is voluntary and it may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Where we base processing on a legitimate interest, we have assessed that users’ interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not override that interest. Further information about this assessment may be obtained from the Controller on request.

Right to object: You may object at any time to processing based on a legitimate interest on grounds relating to your particular situation. You may object to processing for direct marketing purposes at any time without giving a reason.

7 Safety features

The Application includes or may include features supporting Ride safety. Where available in the Application, the following applies:

8 Personal data retention periods

We retain personal data only for the time necessary to fulfil the stated purposes:

Once the relevant period expires, personal data are erased or irreversibly anonymised.

Cancellation of an account does not necessarily mean the immediate erasure of all data. We must retain certain data even after account cancellation, in particular to complete an ongoing Ride, settle earnings and fees, fulfil legal obligations (e.g. transport records, accounting, reporting obligations) or protect legal claims. Access to such data is restricted. Data erased from operational systems disappear from backups no later than the end of the backup retention period. If the database needs to be restored from a backup, we will erase again the data whose erasure was requested.

9 Recipients and processors of personal data

We disclose personal data only to the extent necessary and to trusted recipients.

9.1 Independent controllers and other recipients

9.2 Processors

To operate the Application, we use the following processors, which process personal data under a processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR:

If additional services are activated in the Application (e.g. sending verification codes through WhatsApp, integration with a partner emergency service, rewards providers or alternative route calculation services), the relevant recipients will be added to this policy.

Personal data are not sold or transferred to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

10 Transfers of personal data to third countries

The main databases, document storage and document-reading service are located in the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany). However, some recipients are based outside the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States of America (Resend, Twilio, Google, Apple, Cloudflare and Stripe), and may also process personal data there.

Such transfers always take place with appropriate safeguards under the GDPR, either on the basis of a European Commission adequacy decision under Article 45 GDPR (the EU–US Data Privacy Framework) or on the basis of standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission under Article 46 GDPR.

Further information about the safeguards may be obtained from the Controller on request.

11 Automated decision-making, monitoring and profiling

The Service is based on automated processing of personal data. The Controller uses automated systems in particular for:

If an automated check finds that a driver or vehicle does not meet the legal requirements (e.g. an invalid document, insufficient age, or vehicle data inconsistent with the register), the account or vehicle will not be activated. The driver will be informed of the reason and may request a review by an authorised member of the Controller’s staff. An authorised member of the Controller’s staff decides on permanent rejection of registration, suspension or termination of an account or any other substantial restriction of cooperation. In justified cases, in particular where safety is at risk or fraud is suspected, automated systems may temporarily restrict a driver’s access to the Application or a particular feature until a review by an authorised member of staff, which will take place without undue delay. The driver will be informed in writing (through the Application or by e-mail) of a decision to restrict, suspend or terminate an account, including the reasons for the decision.

A driver affected by a decision has the right to an explanation, the right to express their point of view, the right to have the decision reviewed by an authorised member of the Controller’s staff and the right to challenge the decision. These rights may be exercised through support in the Application or using the Controller’s contact details.

Through automated monitoring and decision-making systems, the Controller does not process data on drivers’ emotional or psychological state; the content of drivers’ private communications with other drivers or their representatives; data obtained when the driver is neither logged in to receive Rides nor carrying out a Ride; data used to predict the exercise of fundamental rights (e.g. freedom of association); data used to infer racial or ethnic origin, migration status, political opinions, religious beliefs, health status, disability, sexual orientation or trade union membership; or data for biometric identification. The Controller will act in accordance with legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2024/2831 of the European Parliament and of the Council on improving working conditions in platform work, to the extent that it applies to the relationship with Partners.

12 Rights of data subjects

In connection with the processing of personal data, data subjects have the following rights, which may be exercised with the Controller:

A request may be submitted through the Application or using the contact details given at the beginning of this policy. The Controller will respond without undue delay, no later than one month after receiving the request; this period may be extended by a further two months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests, and the data subject will be informed of this. The Controller may reasonably verify the applicant’s identity before handling the request.

Data that the Controller must retain under legislation (e.g. records of transport services arranged through the platform, accounting documents or data for reporting obligations), or data necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, are not subject to erasure. Drivers’ rights in relation to data processed about them by a Fleet as an independent controller must be exercised with the Fleet.

13 Commercial communications and direct marketing

Where permitted by legislation, we may send Partners commercial communications concerning our own similar services (e.g. Application news, promotions and driver bonus programmes). Receiving commercial communications may be refused free of charge at any time through the unsubscribe link in each communication, in the Application settings or by sending a message to the Controller’s contact e-mail. After an objection is made or consent is withdrawn, we will stop processing personal data for this purpose. Operational notifications concerning the account, verification, Rides and payouts are not commercial communications and cannot be unsubscribed from.

14 Security of personal data

Taking into account the nature, scope and purposes of processing and the risks to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, the Controller has implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures under Article 32 GDPR, in particular:

Only authorised persons bound by confidentiality have access to personal data. Ordinary e-mails and SMS messages are not end-to-end encrypted. Partners must protect their login credentials and devices against misuse, and Fleets must grant access to the Weyo Fleet portal only to authorised persons and to the extent necessary.

15 Cookies, web interfaces and device storage

The Weyo Fleet portal and other web interfaces use cookies and similar technologies (browser storage). Necessary cookies and browser storage records that ensure basic functionality, login, language settings, confirmation of an erasure request and security (including Cloudflare Turnstile form protection) are processed on the basis of Section 89(3) of Act No. 127/2005 Coll., on Electronic Communications, and Article 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR, and do not require consent.

Optional functional, analytical and marketing cookies are used only on the basis of the user’s consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which may be given or withdrawn at any time in the cookie settings. Details are provided in the separate cookie settings.

The mobile Application stores login credentials in the device’s secure storage and other settings and working data in the device’s local storage. These data are used exclusively for the operation of the Application and are removed upon logout; after the Application is uninstalled, data in the device’s secure storage (e.g. iOS Keychain) may persist until overwritten.

16 Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time, in particular in response to development of the Application, introduction of new features, changes to the Services or legislation. The current wording is always available in the Application and on the web interface. Users will be informed of substantial changes in an appropriate manner (through the Application or by e-mail), usually at least 14 days before they take effect.

This policy takes effect on 16.10.2026.
