3. Purposes and legal basis
We use your data for the following purposes and on the following legal bases:
3.1 Booking and providing the taxi ride – Contract
When you book a trip via the website, app, or phone, we process your data to receive the booking, plan the trip, send confirmations, show the correct information to the driver, and carry out the trip. This processing is necessary to perform the contract with you.
3.2 Accounting, receipts, and bookkeeping – Legal obligation
Certain data must be stored to comply with requirements under the Swedish Accounting Act and other mandatory legislation, for example data on receipts and invoices.
3.3 Customer service, complaints, and safety – Legitimate interests
We may process your data to handle customer service questions, investigate delays, manage lost property, prevent fraud, and follow up on traffic safety. In such cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in providing a safe and functional service.
3.4 Marketing and information – Consent or legitimate interests
Targeted digital marketing, newsletters, or similar communications are used only where permitted by law and, when applicable, based on your consent. You can opt out of such communication at any time.
4. Retention periods
We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above or for as long as we are legally required to do so:
- Booking data: typically up to 12 months after the trip is completed.
- Financial records (receipts, invoices, etc.): up to 7 years in accordance with the Swedish Accounting Act.
- Support cases & complaints: while the case is open and thereafter up to 12 months.
- Technical logs: usually 3–12 months depending on log type and security needs.
5. Recipients of personal data
We do not sell your personal data. However, data may be shared with trusted recipients that help us deliver the service:

- payment providers (e.g., card acquirers and banks for Swish)
- SMS, email, and push notification providers
- accounting firms and auditors where required by law
- authorities, where we are legally obliged to disclose data
These recipients act either as processors under a data processing agreement with us, or as independent controllers when they determine the purposes and means themselves (e.g., a bank or an authority).
6. Transfers outside the EU/EEA
If personal data is exceptionally transferred to a country outside the EU/EEA, we ensure the transfer is lawful under GDPR—for example by using the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) and, where needed, additional safeguards.

We take technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, for example:
- encrypted communication via HTTPS
- restricted and logged access in internal systems
- backup and incident management routines
- continuous updates of software and security components

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember settings, enable booking flow functionality, and produce anonymised statistics. You can manage your cookie settings in your browser. More detailed information may be provided in a separate cookie notice if displayed on the website.
