VIP Transfers collects personal data only to the extent necessary to deliver the requested service. Depending on the interaction, this may include your name, e-mail address, telephone number, route details and payment information.
Legal Bases for Processing
Art. 6(1)(b) — contract performance · Art. 6(1)(c) — legal obligation · Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interests · Art. 6(1)(a) — consent

Your Rights (GDPR)

MOBILE APPS
Mobile Applications
VIP Transfers provides mobile applications for clients (VIP Transfers Poland, available on App Store and Google Play) and drivers (VIP Chauffeur). By using these applications you consent to the data practices described below.
Account Data
We collect your name, e-mail and phone number for identification, bookings and communication. You may delete your account at any time from the Profile section of the app. Upon deletion, personal data is anonymised, authentication tokens are revoked and push notification tokens are removed from our servers.
Location Data
VIP Transfers Poland (client app)
Location may be used to auto-fill pick-up addresses and display nearby points on the map. Location access is requested only when you interact with the map or booking form and is not collected in the background. You can deny location access — the app remains fully functional with manual address entry.
VIP Chauffeur (driver app)
Location is collected during active orders (~90 min before pick-up to completion) for:
- Real-time vehicle tracking for dispatcher & client
- Geofencing at pick-up (50 m) and drop-off (150 m) locations
- Route recording for quality assurance & dispute resolution
Data includes latitude, longitude, speed, bearing & GPS accuracy. Transmitted every ~10 seconds. Background location access is used so tracking continues when the app is minimised. No data is collected without an active order.
Android: ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION · iOS: Always location permission
Location data sharing
Location data is shared only with VIP Transfers dispatchers/administrators and clients who booked the ride. It is not sold, rented, or shared with any third parties for advertising or analytics.
Location data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). You may revoke location permissions in your device settings at any time.
Payment Data (client app)
Payments are processed securely by Stripe (stripe.com). VIP Transfers does not store credit/debit card numbers, CVV or full card details on its servers. Stripe is a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. We only receive a transaction identifier and payment confirmation status.
Push Notifications
Both apps send push notifications about order status changes, driver assignments and service updates. A device token (FCM for Android, APNs for iOS) is stored to deliver notifications. Tokens are deleted on logout or account deletion. You can disable notifications in your device settings at any time.
Camera (driver app only)
The driver app may request camera access to capture photos related to orders (e.g. vehicle condition). Camera access is requested only when needed and images are uploaded securely via TLS.
