1. What we collect
- Vehicle owners: name, mobile number, email, sign-in details (handled by Firebase Authentication), and the vehicle listing you create — type, title, area, district, seats, indicative fare and contact numbers.
- Travellers: when you send a trip request we collect your name, mobile number, pickup area, destination, travel date and number of passengers.
- Sign-in details: if you use Google sign-in we receive your name and email.
2. How we use it
- To show approved vehicles in public search.
- To pass your trip request to the vehicle owner so they can contact you.
- To let administrators review listings and keep the service safe.
We do not sell personal information and we do not show third-party ads.
3. Who can see what
- Everyone can see an approved vehicle listing, including the owner's phone / WhatsApp number you chose to publish.
- The vehicle owner you request can see your trip request details.
- OoruTrip administrators can see owner accounts, vehicles and trip requests.
4. Payments
OoruTrip does not take payments. Fare and payment are agreed directly between traveller and vehicle owner.
5. Location
If you tap "Near Me", your browser asks permission to read your location. It is used only to help you pick a nearby area and is not saved by OoruTrip. You can always type your area instead.
6. Storage and security
OoruTrip data is stored with Google Firebase (a separate OoruTrip project) under security rules, and the site is hosted on Netlify. Some of your own trip requests are also kept in your browser so you can see them under "My Booking Requests".
7. Your choices and deleting your data
Owners can ask us to edit or remove a vehicle listing or account at any time. Send a request from the Contact page or email oorulinkadmin@gmail.com. You can clear your browser data to remove trip requests saved on your device.
8. Children
OoruTrip is for people aged 18 or over. Under-18 travellers should travel with an adult who makes the booking request.
9. Changes and contact
If we change this policy we will update the date above. Questions: oorulinkadmin@gmail.com.
