GreenStripe ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and what your rights are under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
## 1. Who We Are
GreenStripe is a taxi booking platform serving Faversham and surrounding areas in Kent.
Data Controller:
GreenStripe Technologies Ltd
71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ
ICO Registration Number: ZC124724
Data Protection Contact: support@greenstripeapp.co.uk
GreenStripe Technologies Ltd is not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer under UK GDPR Article 37. Data protection queries should be directed to the address above.
## 2. What This Policy Covers
This policy applies to:
- Customers using the GreenStripe customer app
- Drivers using the GreenStripe driver app
- Administrators using the GreenStripe admin app
- Visitors to our website
## 3. Data We Collect, Why We Collect It, and Our Lawful Basis
We process personal data under the following lawful bases under Article 6 UK GDPR:
- (b) Contract — processing is necessary to provide the service you have agreed to
- (c) Legal obligation — processing is required by law
- (f) Legitimate interests — processing is in our or a third party's legitimate interests, balanced against your rights
### 3.1 Customer Account Management
What we collect: Name, email address, phone number, encrypted password, account creation date, policy acceptance records.
Why: To create and manage your account and verify your identity.
Lawful basis: Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); Legal obligation for consent records (Art. 6(1)(c)).
### 3.2 Driver Registration and Verification
What we collect: Name, email address, phone number, date of birth, vehicle make/model/colour/registration, licence plate number, driver's licence document, private hire licence details, profile photo, vehicle photos, Stripe Connect account ID, verification status.
Why: To register, verify eligibility, and manage your driver account. Licence and insurance documents are checked to confirm regulatory compliance with Swale Borough Council licensing requirements.
Lawful basis: Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); Legal obligation — right to work and licensing verification (Art. 6(1)(c)).
### 3.3 Booking and Ride Management
What we collect: Pickup address, drop-off address, scheduled pickup time, booking type (ride now / scheduled / airport), airport name and terminal, flight landing time (for airport pickups), fare amount, booking status, driver assigned, timestamps, no-show records.
Why: To process, dispatch, and complete your bookings.
Lawful basis: Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)).
### 3.4 Real-Time Location Tracking
What we collect:
- Drivers: GPS latitude and longitude, transmitted continuously while you are set as online or have an active booking.
- Customers: GPS location accessed at the point of booking (to determine pickup point); your location is not stored beyond the booking request.
Why: To dispatch drivers to nearby customers, to show customers their driver's live position, and to calculate ETAs. We do not track location outside of these active contexts.
Lawful basis: Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)).
Special note on driver location: Continuous location tracking is inherent to the operation of a dispatch service. By setting yourself online on the driver app, you confirm you are working and available for dispatch. You can stop location collection at any time by going offline in the app.
Admin dashboard access: Authorised GreenStripe admin staff can view driver real-time locations and recent location history via the internal admin dashboard. This access is restricted to a small number of authorised staff and used solely for operational management, driver safety monitoring, activity verification, and resolution of complaints or disputes.
### 3.5 Payment Processing
What we collect: Stripe customer ID, Stripe payment intent ID, transaction amount, booking reference. We never store, see, or handle raw card numbers — all card data is processed directly by Stripe within their PCI DSS Level 1 environment.
Why: To charge customers and pay drivers their earnings.
Lawful basis: Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)).
### 3.6 Driver Payouts (Stripe Connect)
What we collect: Stripe Connect account ID, onboarding status. Stripe collects bank account details, identity documents, and payout data directly as part of their Connect programme. GreenStripe does not store this data.
Why: To facilitate driver earnings payouts through Stripe Connect.
Lawful basis: Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)).
Note: For Stripe Connect onboarding, Stripe acts as an independent data controller for KYC and identity verification purposes under their own privacy policy.
### 3.7 Push Notifications
What we collect: Device push notification token, user ID, notification content (booking status, driver arrival, dispatch offers).
Why: To send you real-time updates about your bookings, driver arrival, or (for drivers) new dispatch offers.
Lawful basis: Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); and consent — your device permission is required before any notifications are sent (Art. 6(1)(a)).
You can withdraw consent at any time by disabling notifications in your device settings.
### 3.8 Error Monitoring
What we collect: Device type, operating system version, app version, anonymised stack traces, and (where an error occurs in a session context) your user ID.
Why: To detect, diagnose, and fix technical faults in our apps.
Lawful basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).
### 3.9 Ratings
What we collect: Rating score (1–5 stars) submitted by customers after completed rides. Ratings are linked to the driver's account to produce an average rating.
Why: To maintain service quality and help customers make informed choices.
Lawful basis: Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); Legitimate interests in service quality (Art. 6(1)(f)).
### 3.10 Support Communications
What we collect: Your name, account ID, and the content of any messages you send to us via our support channels (WhatsApp Business or email).
Why: To respond to your support enquiry and resolve any issues with your account or bookings.
Lawful basis: Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)); Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).

Lawful basis: Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)).

What we collect: User ID, policy name, policy version number, acceptance timestamp.
Why: To record that you have accepted our policies, as required to demonstrate a lawful basis for processing.

## 4. How Long We Keep Your Data
| Data type | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Customer account and profile data | Until your account is closed |
| Driver account and profile data | Until your account is closed |
| Booking records — customer identifying details | Anonymised 2 years after the booking is completed or cancelled |
| Booking records — driver identifying details | Anonymised 6 years after the booking (Limitation Act 1980) |
| Booking records — financial data | Retained for 6 years (HMRC obligation) |
| Driver identity audit record | 6 years from the date of verification |
| Payment records | 6 years (HMRC requirement) |
| Driver licence documents | Duration of driver engagement; deleted within 30 days of account closure |
| Real-time location data | Not stored beyond the active session |
| Push notification tokens | Until you uninstall the app, delete your account, or revoke permission |
| Error monitoring data | 90 days |
| Policy acceptance records | 6 years (legal compliance) |
| Ratings | Anonymised when the driver account is closed |
### 4.1 Account Closure and Dormancy
Customers
You can delete your account at any time from the Settings screen in the customer app. Deletion is immediate: your personal data is anonymised, any outstanding scheduled bookings are cancelled, and your authentication credentials are removed.
If we detect no activity on your account for 6 months, we will send push notifications at 30 days, 7 days, and 24 hours before your account is scheduled for closure. Opening the app at any point resets this clock entirely.
Drivers
You can request account deletion from the Profile screen in the driver app. Driver deletions are not immediate — your request enters a 30-day review period before it is processed. Your account remains fully active during this time.
If we detect no activity on your driver account for 12 months, we will send push notifications at 30 days, 7 days, and 24 hours before your account is queued for closure.
Data retained after a driver account is closed:
| Data | Retained for | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Identity record (name, badge number, vehicle registration) in a secure audit log | 6 years from verification date | Art. 17(3)(e) UK GDPR; Art. 17(3)(b) |
| Driver name and details within completed booking records | 6 years from date of each booking | Art. 17(3)(e) — Limitation Act 1980 |
| Financial data within booking records | 6 years | Art. 17(3)(b) — HMRC legal obligation |
## 5. Who We Share Your Data With
Between drivers and customers
During an active booking, customers can see the driver's first name, vehicle make, model, colour, registration, and real-time location. Drivers can see the customer's name, pickup address, and drop-off address.

# Customer Terms of Service
Version 1.0 — Last updated: 14 May 2026
GreenStripe Technologies Ltd | 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ | support@greenstripeapp.co.uk
---
Please read these terms carefully before creating an account. By accepting these terms, you enter a legally binding agreement with GreenStripe.
## 1. GreenStripe as a Booking Broker
GreenStripe operates as a booking broker and technology intermediary. We connect passengers with independent, licensed taxi and private hire drivers operating in Faversham and surrounding areas. We do not provide transport services ourselves and are not a transport undertaking.
When you make a booking through GreenStripe:
- The contract for your journey is formed directly between you and the driver who accepts your booking
- The driver is an independent, licensed service provider who is solely responsible for the transport service provided
- GreenStripe's role is limited to facilitating the booking, processing your payment, and operating the dispatch platform
Because GreenStripe is not a party to the transport contract, we are not responsible for the conduct, quality, safety, or outcome of journeys carried out by drivers. Any claim arising from a journey — including personal injury, vehicle damage, or service quality — is a matter between you and the driver and, where applicable, their professional insurer.
Nothing in this clause limits our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation, death, or personal injury caused by our own negligence.
## 2. Your Account
- You must be at least 18 years old to create an account
- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials
- You must provide accurate and up-to-date information
- One account per person — you may not share your account
## 3. Booking a Ride
- When you book a ride, you are entering a contract for transport services with the driver
- Fares are calculated and displayed before you confirm your booking
- You must be ready at the pickup location at the booked time
- GreenStripe reserves the right to correct fare estimates where the actual journey differs materially from the booking
## 4. Payment
- All payments are processed via Stripe on your behalf
- Ride Now bookings: Your payment method is authorised at the time of booking and charged on trip completion. If no driver is found, the authorisation is released automatically and you are not charged
- Scheduled and airport bookings: The fare is authorised at the time of booking and captured on completion of your journey
- Receipts are provided through the app after each completed journey
## 5. Cancellation & Refunds
Please refer to our Cancellation & Refund Policy for full details.
## 6. Your Conduct
You agree to:
- Treat drivers with respect and courtesy
- Not engage in abusive, threatening, or discriminatory behaviour
- Not damage or soil any vehicle
- Wear a seatbelt at all times during the journey
- Not request that the driver breach any road traffic laws
- Comply with our Acceptable Use Policy
We may suspend or terminate your account for serious or repeated breaches.
## 7. No-Show
If you are not at the pickup location when the driver arrives and cannot be reached within the permitted waiting time, the booking may be marked as a no-show and any authorised payment may be captured. See our Cancellation & Refund Policy for time limits.
## 8. Lost Property
GreenStripe is not responsible for property left in vehicles. Contact support@greenstripeapp.co.uk for assistance.
## 9. Liability
- GreenStripe's liability to you is limited to the value of the booking fee paid
- We are not liable for delays caused by traffic, road conditions, or events beyond our control
- We are not liable for any indirect or consequential losses
- Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death, personal injury caused by negligence, or fraudulent misrepresentation
## 10. Stacked Bookings
Where your assigned driver is completing a prior booking before collecting you (a "stacked booking"), wait times may be longer than initially indicated. GreenStripe will display an estimated wait time in the app. Your cancellation rights for stacked bookings are set out in the Cancellation & Refund Policy.
## 11. Post-Journey Disputes
If you wish to dispute a charge, a fare, or raise a concern about the quality of service following a completed journey, you must contact us within 7 days of the booking completion, quoting your booking reference. Disputes raised outside this window may not be considered. We will acknowledge within 2 business days and aim to resolve within 10 business days.
## 12. Alternative Dispute Resolution
If we are unable to resolve your complaint within 8 weeks, we will provide you with details of a certified Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) body, in accordance with the Alternative Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes Regulations 2015. GreenStripe's participation in ADR is voluntary except where required by applicable law.
## 13. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
## 14. Changes to Terms
We will notify you of material changes and ask you to re-accept updated terms before continuing to use the service.

## 6. Platform Broker Status & Independent Contractor
GreenStripe operates as a booking broker and technology intermediary. We are not a transport undertaking and do not provide transport services directly. Our role is to connect passengers with independent, licensed drivers and to facilitate booking and payment on your behalf.
For each booking you accept:
- The transport contract is formed directly between you and the passenger
- You are the licensed service provider and are solely responsible for carrying out the journey in compliance with all applicable legislation, including road traffic law and your private hire or taxi licence conditions
- GreenStripe is not a party to that transport contract and accepts no liability for claims arising from the transport service you provide
As an independently licensed driver working on a self-employed basis, you hold sole professional and legal liability for your driving activities. Any claim arising from a journey you carry out — including personal injury, vehicle damage, or passenger complaints — must be directed to you and your professional insurer, not GreenStripe.
You are solely responsible for your own National Insurance contributions, income tax, and insurances. GreenStripe will not be responsible for any fines, penalties, or claims arising from your driving activities.
## 7. Data & Location
You consent to GreenStripe collecting and transmitting your GPS location while you are online or on an active booking. This data is used to operate the dispatch and tracking system. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
GreenStripe admin staff may view your real-time location and recent location history via the internal admin dashboard. This access is restricted to authorised staff and used for operational management, driver safety monitoring, activity verification, and resolution of complaints or disputes.
## 8. Driver Ratings
- Your average passenger rating is visible to GreenStripe admin staff and may be taken into account in quality reviews
- GreenStripe does not publish individual ratings to other drivers
- If you believe a rating is false, malicious, or retaliatory, you may request a review by emailing support@greenstripeapp.co.uk with the relevant booking reference
- We will consider whether the rating should be removed, but removal is not guaranteed
## 9. Suspension, Investigation & Termination
GreenStripe may suspend or terminate your account for:
- A serious breach of these terms
- Passenger complaints indicating unsafe or unprofessional conduct
- Loss of your driver's licence, vehicle licence, or insurance
- Any relevant criminal conviction or caution
- Persistent inactivity without notice
Where a suspension is for investigation purposes, we will notify you of the reason and — except where immediate action is required for safety — give you at least 48 hours to provide your account of events before any permanent decision is made.
You may appeal a suspension or termination within 14 days by emailing support@greenstripeapp.co.uk with "APPEAL" in the subject line. We will acknowledge within 2 business days and respond within 10 business days.
GreenStripe may also terminate your account with 30 days' written notice without cause.
## 10. Liability
GreenStripe provides the booking platform only. We are not liable for accidents, injuries, vehicle damage, or claims arising from your driving or conduct.
## 11. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
## 12. Changes to Terms
Material changes to these terms will require your re-acceptance in the app before you can continue accepting bookings. Where required by law or these terms, appropriate notice will be given before changes take effect.

# Cancellation & Refund Policy
Version 1.0 — Last updated: 14 May 2026
GreenStripe Technologies Ltd | 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ | support@greenstripeapp.co.uk
---
## 1. Fee Schedule
| Booking type | When cancelled | Refund |
|---|---|---|
| Ride Now (driver not yet assigned) | Before a driver is assigned | Full refund — no charge taken |
| Ride Now (driver assigned) | After driver accepts | No refund — fare charged in full |
| Scheduled / Airport | More than 24 hours before pickup | 87% refund (13% cancellation fee) |
| Scheduled / Airport | 2–24 hours before pickup | 87% refund (13% cancellation fee) |
| Scheduled / Airport | Less than 2 hours before pickup | No refund |
Stacked bookings: Where your assigned driver is completing a prior booking before collecting you (a "stacked booking") and you cancel before the driver begins your journey, an 87% refund applies (13% platform fee retained) regardless of timing. Once the driver has commenced your journey, the standard "less than 2 hours" terms apply (no refund).
Refunds are returned to the original payment method and typically appear within 5–10 business days, depending on your card issuer.
## 2. How to Cancel
You may cancel a booking at any time via the GreenStripe app:
1. Open the Rides or Upcoming tab
2. Select the booking you wish to cancel
3. Tap Cancel Booking and confirm
Cancellations are processed immediately. The refund (where applicable) is issued automatically.
## 3. Driver Cancellations
If your assigned driver cancels a booking, you will receive a full refund of any amount charged. We will also re-attempt to find you an alternative driver where possible.
## 4. Bookings Cancelled Due to No Driver
If GreenStripe is unable to find a driver within the dispatch window:
- Ride Now — no payment is taken and the authorisation is released
- Scheduled / Airport — a full refund is issued automatically
## 5. Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013
Under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, you have a 14-day right to cancel a service contract from the date it is entered into.
Service-commencement waiver: When you book a Ride Now journey or confirm a Scheduled / Airport booking, you expressly request that the service begins before the 14-day cancellation period expires. By requesting immediate or near-term service commencement you acknowledge, in accordance with Regulation 36(1)(a), that you lose your right to cancel once the service has been fully performed. If the service has not yet commenced, the standard cancellation terms in Section 1 above apply.
## 6. No-Show
Passenger No-Show: If you fail to appear at your pickup location within the permitted wait time after your driver has arrived, the booking may be marked as a no-show and the full fare will be charged. No refund will be issued.
Driver No-Show: If your driver does not arrive and you report a no-show through the app, GreenStripe will investigate. If upheld, a full refund will be issued.
## 7. Flight Delays
For "from airport" pickups: if your flight lands significantly later than the stated landing time, please contact us at support@greenstripeapp.co.uk as soon as possible with your booking reference and airline-confirmed actual landing time. We will use reasonable endeavours to accommodate genuine flight delays at no additional charge. If accommodation is not possible, a full refund will be offered.
## 8. Post-Journey Disputes
If you believe you have been incorrectly charged or that this policy has not been applied correctly, contact us at support@greenstripeapp.co.uk within 7 days of the booking date, quoting your booking reference. Disputes raised outside this window may not be considered. We will acknowledge within 2 business days and aim to resolve within 10 business days.

# Commission Rate Policy
Version 1.0 — Last updated: 14 May 2026
GreenStripe Technologies Ltd | 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ | support@greenstripeapp.co.uk
This policy applies to drivers only.
---
This policy explains how GreenStripe's platform commission works, how it is calculated, and how changes are made and communicated to drivers.
## 1. What Is Platform Commission?
When you complete a journey as a GreenStripe driver, GreenStripe deducts a platform commission from the fare before transferring your earnings to your Stripe account. This commission covers the cost of operating the dispatch platform, payment processing, insurance verification, and customer support.
## 2. Current Rate
The current commission rate is always displayed in the app under Profile → Earnings. The rate shown in the app is authoritative. GreenStripe does not publish a fixed rate in this document as rates may change — refer to the app for the current rate at all times.
## 3. How Commission Is Calculated
Earnings = Fare − (Fare × Commission Rate)
Example: if the fare is £20.00 and the commission rate is 13%, your earnings are £17.40. All deductions are displayed transparently in the Earnings section of the app.
## 4. Changes to the Commission Rate
GreenStripe will give you at least 30 days' written notice of any change to the commission rate. Notice is delivered via:
- In-app push notification
- In-app commission notice screen (requiring your acknowledgement)
- Email to your registered address
The notice will specify the current rate, the new rate, and the date the new rate takes effect. During the notice period you may continue working under the current rate. You may terminate your driver agreement at any time during the notice period if you do not wish to accept the new rate.
If you do not accept the updated terms before the effective date, your account will be suspended until you do so.
## 5. Commission Suspension During Investigations
Your commission may be withheld during an active investigation into a potential serious breach of the Driver Terms. See Section 5 of the Driver Terms & Conditions for full details, including your right to appeal.
