Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to Ride Airport Cars Limited. Your privacy is fundamental to our business operations. This policy outlines how we collect, store, and process your personal information as a professional private hire provider. We operate exclusively within the United Kingdom, and all our services and transactions are conducted in GBP (£).
What Data We Collect
To manage your bookings efficiently, we collect personal identity and contact data, including your name, phone number, and email address. We also process journey-specific information such as pickup and drop-off addresses, flight or cruise numbers, and arrival schedules.
How We Use Your Data
Your data is used solely to facilitate your safe transport, manage booking confirmations, and provide real-time updates regarding your driver's arrival. We also maintain records to comply with professional licensing and safety standards required for private hire operators.
Legal Basis
Under UK data protection laws, our processing is based on the necessity of performing a contract (your booking) and fulfilling legal obligations as a licensed operator. We may also process data under legitimate interests to improve our service security.

Your information is stored on secure, encrypted systems. We implement strict digital security measures to prevent unauthorized access. Data is retained for the legally required period of 7 years in compliance with UK tax and regulatory auditing requirements.
Sharing Your Data
Your data is never sold to third parties. It is shared only with your designated driver, our secure payment processing partners, and relevant UK authorities or licensing boards if explicitly required by law.
