At Island Ride we connect riders with drivers. To do that, we need to collect, use, and share some of your personal information. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand how Island Ride does that and how to exercise the choices and rights you have in your information.
This policy applies to all Island Ride users, including Riders and Drivers (including Driver applicants), and to all Island Ride platforms and services, including our apps, websites, features, and other services (collectively, the “Island Ride Platform”).

Although we help Riders and Drivers communicate with one another
to arrange a pickup, we do not share your actual phone number or other contact information
with other users. If you report a lost or found item to us, we will seek to connect you with
the relevant Rider or Driver, including sharing actual contact information with your
consent.
