Privacy Policy

1. Mobile Application - Complete Privacy

How it works: The RideKaki mobile app processes all transit information locally on your device. No data is transmitted to our servers or any third-party services. The app functions completely offline after initial download.

2. Website Privacy

Our website (ridekaki.app) follows the same privacy-first approach:

• No tracking scripts: No Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any tracking tools
• No advertising networks: No ad tracking or behavioral profiling
• No social media widgets: No embedded content that tracks users
• Minimal technical data: Only essential server logs for security (automatically deleted after 7 days)

3. Technical Information (Website Only)

For website security and functionality, we may temporarily collect:

• Server access logs (IP address, browser type, access time) - automatically deleted after 7 days
• Essential cookies for website functionality only (no tracking cookies)

This minimal technical data is never shared, sold, or used for profiling.

4. Contact Communications

When you contact us via email:

• We collect only information you voluntarily provide
• Used exclusively to respond to your inquiry
• Never shared with third parties
• Deleted after resolving your inquiry (unless you request otherwise)
