Welcome to Your Way Home, we are an online platform that wants to make journeys at night for women and gender minorities more affordable, safer, and convenient.

We want to give you transparent and clear information on the collection, usage, and sharing of your data when you access our website at yourwayhome.eu and when you use our services.
The following section will explain to you the details of how we collect data, what data we collect, how long it is stored, with whom it may be shared, and your rights regarding your data. It is recommended that you read this policy along with our Terms of Use. Your data is handled in compliance with the regulations stated in the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), alongside the Data Protection Act 2018 for the UK, and any other relevant data protection laws.
Your Way Home will never disclose the information of its users in any other way than the one expressed in this Privacy Policy, unless required by the competent authority and in accordance with the Law. The purpose and basis of our personal data processing is the fulfilment of a service consisting of the functionality of Your Way Home platform application under the protection of article 6 letter b of the GDPR. The only consequence of not providing this data is not being able to use the functions that require it.
To ensure that our Privacy Policy is updated, we regularly review it and encourage you to do the same via our website.

In the event of any significant changes to this policy, we will provide prominent notice and may contact you directly via email or other means.

This Privacy Policy applies to all legal entities associated to Your Way Home, which is the primary data controller. Our Chief Compliance Officer oversees compliance for the entire organisation. If you have any questions about this policy, including inquiries about your rights under data protection laws, please contact our Officer at info@yourwayhome.eu. Whenever we use the terms "YWH", "we", "us", or "our" in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to our organisation.
The data that may be collected, used, stored, and transferred by us may fall into the definition of personal data. According to GDPR law, personal data refers to any information that can directly or indirectly (when combined with other information) identify you. We have categorised this data into different groups, depending on the interaction you have with us and our product.
Your personal data is not sold to third parties. When we perform statistics on the use of the application, they do not contain your personal data or other additional information for the purpose of the measurement that allows you to identify yourself individually.
By visiting our website, our servers will collect technical and use data related to how you use our website. This data may include information such as the time and date of access, IP address, browser type and plug-ins, time zone, operating system, type of device, and other similar non-personal identifiers found on the devices you use to access the website.
To become a YWH user, you will need to create an account by registering with us. To do so, we will require some identity and contact data, such as first and last name, e-mail address, gender, and official documents such as national ID, driver’s license, or passport, as well as profile data like city of residence and employee/student status. These last two are essential to validate the eligibility for our service.
To be able to benefit from our service, you must comply with our Terms of Use, and by doing so, we will be collecting geospatial data, which includes information on how you use our partners’ vehicles, including trips origins, destinations, times, and paths. Additionally, we will collect profile data, which includes your purchases to our partners, interests, preferences on communications and marketing, survey responses, and feedback, among others.
Your personal data is only saved for as long as you wish to keep your account with us. If you request it, they will be removed along with it.
All reports are public. When you make a report, your name, the content you enter, and the location of the report are shared. If you use the option to report anonymously, neither your name nor avatar will be public. If you delete or edit one of your reports, a record of the previous version of this will remain. When you make a report, we also register your geolocation for usability analysis and statistics, this information is exclusively used by Your Way Home for internal development purposes, and we do not deliver or sell it to any third party.
Suppose you wish to reach out to us or are part of any event where we are part of the organisers. In that case, we may collect user content and contact data that is needed for supporting you, such as phone numbers, feedback, photographs, and audio, or video recordings.
Additionally, we process Aggregated Data which refers to statistical or demographic data that may be derived from your personal data but does not reveal your identity, either directly or indirectly. This type of data is not considered personal data under the law. For example, we may use the data you give us when registering and using our service in an aggregated form to determine usage patterns. Since this data is not subject to regulation, its processing is not governed by this privacy policy. We reserve the right to use and disclose such Aggregated Data to our partners, advertisers and other third parties at our discretion.
We do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share for marketing purposes your Personal Data with third parties without your consent, except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy. We may share Personal Data with outside parties if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to meet any applicable legal process or enforceable governmental request.
In the event we undergo a business transaction, your Personal Data may be among the assets transferred. You acknowledge and agree that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy, and that any acquirer of our assets may continue to process your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
In the case we need to share your data with any of our partners, they have assured us that they comply with GDPR and there are data processing agreements in place between them and us that ensure the security of your personal data and prohibit them from using it for their own purposes, unless necessary to provide their services to us (in which case, we will notify you). We allow them to process your personal data only for specific purposes and as directed by us.
