Data Safety

Your Data,
Protected

Plain language. No fine print. Exactly what ResqRide does and does not do with your information.

Our commitments

We Never Sell Your Data

Your personal information is never sold to advertisers, data brokers, or any third party. Ever.

Location Only When Needed

We access your location during active use only — to find providers near you or share your ETA. Never in the background.

We Never See Your Card

Payment card numbers go directly to Stripe. We never see, store, or handle your full card details.

Delete Anytime

Email us and we will permanently delete your account and all associated data within 30 days. No questions asked.

Passwords Are Unreadable

Your password is hashed with scrypt. Even our own team cannot see it. If you forget it, we can only reset it — not recover it.

Minimum Data Only

We only request the permissions the app actually needs. We do not access your camera, contacts, or photos without a direct action from you.

Permissions explained
Location
While in use only
Used to find service providers near you and share your pickup location. Only requested when you start a service request. Never accessed in the background.
Notifications
Optional, can disable anytime
Used to alert you when your provider accepts your request, is en route, arrives, and completes service. Providers receive alerts for new job requests. You can disable this at any time in device Settings.
Storage
Secure local storage only
Your login session token and app preferences are stored on-device using iOS Keychain or Android Keystore. We do not access your camera roll or photo library.
SMS (SOS only)
Only when you activate SOS
If you activate Emergency Mode, the app opens your native SMS app to send your location to emergency contacts you have saved. The app never sends SMS automatically without your action.
What we do not collect
Social Security or government ID numbers
Biometric data (face ID, fingerprint raw data)
Camera roll or photo library access
Contacts or address book (beyond SOS contacts you add)
Browsing history or cross-app tracking
Background location data at any time
Full credit card numbers or CVV codes
Data from children under 18
