  5. Data collections and uses
    1. The data we collect
    2. Luncbox collects data:

      1. provided by users to Lunchbox
      2. created during use of our services
      3. from other sources

      Lunchbox collects the following data from these sources:

      1. Data provided by users. This includes:

        • Account information:

          We collect data when users create or update their Lunchbox accounts, or place orders via guest checkout features. This includes first and last name, email, phone number, login name and password, address, profile picture and user settings

          For drivers and delivery persons, this may also include vehicle or insurance information, emergency contact information, and evidence of health or fitness to provide services using Lunchbox delivery app.

        • Background check information (drivers and delivery persons):

          This includes information submitted during the driver/delivery person application process, such as driver history or criminal record (where permitted by law), license status, known aliases, prior addresses, and right to work. This information may be collected by Luncbox service providers.

        • Identity verification documents and photos:

          This includes government issued identification such as driver’s license or passports (which may contain identification photos and numbers, date of birth, and gender), and user-submitted photos such as selfies and profile pictures.

      2. Data created during use of our services. This includes:

        • Location data (delivery person):

          We collect precise and approximate location data from drivers’ and delivery persons’ mobile devices when the Lunchbox delivery app is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen) or background (app open but not on-screen).

        • Location data (order recipients):

          We collect precise and/or approximate location information from riders’ and order recipients’ mobile devices if they enable us to do so via their device settings.

          Lunchbox collects such data from the time a ride or order is requested until it is finished, and any time the app is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen). See “Choice and transparency” below for information on how riders and order recipients can enable precise location data collection.

          Order recipients may use the Lunchbox customer app without enabling collection of location data from their mobile devices. However, this may affect certain features in the Lunchbox app. For example, a recipient who has not enabled precise location data will have to manually enter their order delivery address.

          In addition, precise location data collected from a driver’s device during a trip is linked to the recipients account, even if the recipient has not enabled precise location data to be collected from their device. This data is used for purposes such as customer support, fraud detection, insurance, litigation and receipt generation.

        • Transaction information:

          We collect transaction information related to the use of our services, including the type of services requested or provided; Order details (such as date and time, requested pick-up and drop off addressesand items ordered); and payment transaction information (such as a restaurant’s or merchant's name and location, amount charged, and payment method). We also associate a user’s name with that of anyone who uses their promotion code.

        • Usage data:

          We collect data about how users interact with our services. This includes access dates and times, app features or pages viewed, browser type, and app crashes and other system activity.

        • Device data:

          We collect data about the devices used to access our services, including the hardware models, device IP address or other unique device identifiers, operating systems and versions, software, preferred languages, advertising identifiers, device motion data, and mobile network data.

      3. Data from other sources. These include:

        • users or others providing information in connection with claims or disputes.
        • service providers who help us verify users’ identity, background information, and eligibility to work, detect fraud, and screen users in connection with sanctions, anti-money laundering, or know-your-customer requirements.
        • insurance, vehicle, or financial services providers for drivers and/or delivery persons.
        • publicly available sources.
        • law enforcement officials, public health officials, and other government authorities.

      • to enable communications between users

      Lunchbox uses the data we collect:

      1. This includes using data to:

        • create/update accounts.
        • enable transportation, delivery and other services/features, such as:
          • using location data to navigate order pick-ups and order drop-offs, calculate ETAs, and track the progress of deliveries.
          • enabling features that involve data sharing, such as sharing driver first name and vehicle information with recipients to facilitate pick-ups, or features that enable ETA sharing and fare splitting.
          • matching available drivers and delivery persons to users requesting services, including based on personal data such as location and proximity to other users, and user settings / preferences (such as preferred destinations), and non-personal data such as vehicle type requested.
          • enabling features that involve account linking, such as linking email accounts to create Lunchbox accounts
        • Calculating prices and fares, including using location data and trip or order details (such as requested pick-up and drop off addresses). We may also consider non-personal data or factors, including date and time, estimated distance and time, minimum base fares, tolls, taxes and fees.
        • personalize users’ accounts. For example, we may present order recipients with personalized restaurant or food recommendations based on their prior orders and delivery location.
        • provide users with delivery updates, generate receipts, and inform them of changes to our terms, services, or policies.

      2. Safety, fraud protection and security. We use data to help maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our services and users. This includes:
        • verifying users' accounts, identity or compliance with safety requirements.

          For example, we review delivery person background checks (including criminal history where required or permitted by law) to verify their identities and eligibility to provide deliveries.

          We process user profile pictures, government-issued identification photos and numbers, or other user-submitted photographs to perform this verification.

          We also use such technology to prevent fraudulent use of identification photos, or to prevent users from creating multiple accounts.

          We also use selfies to verify that users are wearing helmets or other safety gear through the use of object verification technology.

          We also use data from delivery persons’ devices to verify the type of vehicles they used to provide deliveries.

        • using customer service information (including reports of safety incidents), device data (e.g., to detect speeding or harsh braking / acceleration), transaction, and usage data to identify potentially unsafe drivers and driving. This can lead to drivers and delivery persons receiving messages encouraging safer driving, and/or account deactivation following human review.

        • using account, device, location, usage, transaction, wireless carrier, and other data, including communications between users and metadata, to prevent, detect, and combat fraud, including by guest users.

        • using driver data (such as past trip information and reported incident rates) and rider data (such as account information, cancellation and reported incident rates, current pick-up and drop-off location, past trip information, and ratings information) to predict and help avoid pairings of users that may result in increased risk of conflict.* We also avoid pairings where one user has previously given the other a low (e.g., 1 star) rating.

        • using location, phone number, user name, vehicle details and other relevant information to provide live support from safety experts during trips or deliveries.

          The fraud and unsafe driving prevention and detection activities described above may be considered profiling under applicable laws, and can result in deactivation of users (generally only after human review).
