d@rt Privacy Policy
- Introduction
Protecting your privacy is important to d@rt Pty Ltd (‘we’; ‘us’). The following will help you understand how we collect, use, disclose, hold and safeguard your personal information.
The following policy is based on the Australian Privacy Principles as described in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) even though we are not obliged to follow the obligations of ‘organisations’ under the Act.
Our purpose
We are an organisation which facilitates the transport of people by conveyance on a road (e.g., car or bus), from one address to another, using various third party transport providers with whom we have contract arrangements.
Personal information can come from users of our applications, websites, content, products, and services (Services), including transport providers and drivers.
- Collection of personal information
What sort of personal information do we collect and hold?
The personal information we collect and/or hold can include: contact details: such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses and dates of birth; pick up and drop off locations; credit card and bank account details; driver information including accreditation details, background checks etc; vehicle ownership details; and other information related to peoples’ access or use of our Services.
Anonymity and Pseudonymity
Wherever possible, we will give you the option of dealing with us anonymously or by pseudonym.
Why do we collect and hold personal information?
If you wish to access or use our Services, it will be necessary for us to collect some personal information from you.
We only collect the information that we need to provide our Services, administer accounts, monitor our compliance with our obligations and satisfy our legal obligations. Obviously the main consequence of not collecting this information is our inability to provide such Services.
How do we collect personal information?
We collect information directly from people in various ways, including via our applications and websites.
Unsolicited information and information from third parties
In limited circumstances we may receive personal information which we have not specifically asked for. In these circumstances, we will determine whether it is necessary for us to retain that personal information.
If you provide us with information about another person, you must: ensure that you have their consent to do so; and tell them that you are disclosing their personal information to us and where they can obtain a copy of this privacy policy – see section 8.
Log information, cookies, web beacons or other monitoring devices
We use standard web browser features called “cookies” or web beacons to help us improve people’s experience of our various Services, particularly our applications, including our websites. We or our service provider(s) may also use cookies (small text files stored in a user’s browser) or web beacons (electronic images that allow our applications to count visitors who have accessed a particular page and to access certain cookies) to collect aggregate data.
We also use third-party vendor remarketing tracking cookies to have our applications advertise our services. The third-party vendors whose services we use, will place cookies on web browsers in order to serve ads based on past visits to our applications. The cookies do not in any way identify you or give access to your computer. Remarketing allows us to tailor our marketing to better suit customer needs and only display ads that are relevant to you.

You may choose to disable cookies in your browser or use security software to prevent the storage of cookies. However if you disable cookies, we may not be able to fulfil your request or provide you with an appropriate level of service in some areas. If you do not wish to participate in our remarketing, you can opt out by disabling cookies on your web browser.
