The Driver Data Notice in short: what GuyWay collects, who sees it, how long it is kept, and your rights.

Audience: DriversSection: Driver-appUpdated: 2026-10-15Version: 2.4

The Driver Data Notice, version 1.10 of 15 October 2026, explains what GuyWay collects about you, why, who can see it and for how long. This page is a summary; the notice is the text that applies. You confirm it in the app by typing your full name. Version 1.10 adds Cloudflare, which carries the connections between the apps and GuyWay's servers, to the service providers in section 5. It is in force from 15 October 2026, and you confirm it before you go online. When you confirm it, you also give your permission for the check of your walk round photos described below. Reading your documents with AI and translating your chat with AI are optional: a box, ticked unless you untick it, asks when you sign your agreements or confirm the notice, and you can turn either one on or off at any time in Account and data. With reading off, you type your document's details yourself and GuyWay staff check them. With translation off, your messages go as you typed them and the rider's are shown untranslated. Apart from those choices, the notice is not a consent you can withdraw: the data it describes is what your agreements need to work.
