Your credit card information, social security number, bank account information, and other personal information are never saved after a transaction.

Is the information collected through the DICE Service secure?

We implement security precautions to keep your information safe. We have put in place managerial, electronic, and physical procedures to help safeguard, prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and use your information correctly. However, neither humans nor security measures—including encryption—are perfect. Other factors include blunders, deliberate criminality, and policy noncompliance. As a result, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information, even if we take reasonable efforts to protect it. You agree that the standards used to assess our adherence to any non-disclaimable responsibility imposed by relevant law to protect your personal information will be intentional misbehavior.

You are accountable for maintaining the confidentiality of your unique password and account information at all times.

Please be aware that owing to technological constraints, we are unable to entirely delete all records of the information you have provided us. Your information may exist in an inerasable copy that we will find difficult or impossible to locate since we must back up our systems to prevent data loss. Upon receipt of your request, we will update, correct, alter, or delete all personally identifiable information in databases and other easily searchable media that we use on a regular basis.

What Information Do We Collect?

When you use our website or app, register, place an order, sign up for our newsletter, answer a survey, or complete a form, we collect information from you.

• Name, e-mail, phone number, place of residence.
• Geo-location of drivers and driving routes.
• Information about vehicles (including registration number).
• Driver’s efficiency and ratings.
• Driver’s license, photo, profession and identity documents.
• Data about criminal records and offences. The financial data of providing transportation services is not considered as personal data, because drivers provide services in the course of economic and professional activities.

How do we use the information we collect?

In order to improve user experience, we also gather data from mobile devices, though participation in these features is entirely voluntary:

• We collect and use personal information in order to link riders with drivers and help them navigate cities more efficiently.
• Driving routes and geolocation data are processed to analyze the surrounding region and provide recommendations to drivers. If you do not wish to reveal your geolocation to riders, you must close the DICE app or specify in the app that you are offline and do not now provide transportation services.
• The driver's license, identity documents, and criminal history and offenses are all reviewed to ensure compliance with legal requirements and the acceptability of pursuing a career as a driver.
• The DICE app displays the driver's photo, name, and vehicle details so that riders can recognize the driver and car.
• The DICE Driver Portal will provide you summaries detailing your driving efficiency and ratings. A summary and ratings of the driver are required to provide dependable services for riders.

Governing Law

• Personal data is processed in order to fulfill the terms of the contract with the driver. The processing of driver identification and geolocation data is required before using the DICE services.
• Personal data may be processed in the legitimate interest of investigating and detecting fraudulent payments.
• Data on criminal history and offenses is processed in order to comply with a legal duty.

This privacy statement is subject to Nigerian law, exclusive of its conflict of law’s provisions. Except for those who may be entitled to bring claims under Privacy Shield or the Swiss-US framework, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts with respect to any action or dispute occurring between the parties under or in connection with this Privacy Policy.

Certain local, state, national, or international laws may apply to your use of this website/app. By using DICE or contacting us directly, you indicate that you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you should not visit our website or use our services. Continued use of the website, direct communication with us, or following the publishing of modifications to this Privacy Policy that do not significantly alter the use or disclosure of your personal information indicates that you accept those changes.

Recipients

Your personal information will only be shared with riders whose orders you have accepted. The riders will see the driver's name, the car, the phone number, and geo-location and photo information. The driver's personal information is also included on the receipt.
Depending on the driver's location, the personal information may be shared with DICE local subsidiaries, representatives, affiliates, agents, and other parties. We will process your personal information in compliance with our privacy policy's rules.

Our Privacy Policy has been revised to provide you with complete transparency about what data is collected and used when you visit our site. By using our website/app, registering, or making an order or request, you understand and agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy.

Processing Riders Personal Data

• When processing riders' personal data, you must follow the instructions in the Privacy Policy for Riders (https://www.dice.com.ng/). If you don't follow our guidelines for processing riders' personal data, we have the right to deactivate your driver account and take legal action against you.

When does DICE use customer information from third parties?

Certain information that you supply to us is obtained from third parties. We receive information from a third party that provides DICE with automatic fraud detection services, such as when you supply us with your email address to show interest in being a partner or customer. Occasionally, we collect data from public social networking platforms. You may control how much of your information social media platforms share by visiting these websites and modifying your privacy settings.

Do we share the information we collect with third parties?

Our content providers, contest sponsors, advertising agencies, promotional and marketing partners, and other entities whose goods or services we feel you may be interested in may have access to the personal and non-personal information we have collected. Furthermore, in the event of a merger, asset sale, or other type of corporate restructuring, we may disclose or transfer your personal and non-personal information to our successors in interest. We may also share it with our existing and potential associated companies and business partners.

We may collaborate with reputable outside service providers to handle tasks and provide services for us, such as managing and hosting our servers and website/app, storing and storing databases, managing emails, marketing storage, processing
credit cards, providing customer support, and completing orders for goods and services purchased through the website/app. We will likely share some non-personal information with these third parties in addition to your personal information so that they can perform these services for us and you.

We may grant third parties, such as web analytics partners, application developers, and ad networks, access to portions of our log file data, including IP addresses, for analytical purposes. When you visit a website or app, your IP address can be used to determine its general location as well as other technical characteristics such as connection speed, whether you accessed the site or app in a public place, and what device you used. They may compile data about our advertising and what you see on the website or app for the purpose of auditing, studying, and reporting on our behalf and those of our advertisers.

We may disclose personal and non-personal information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties in order to respond to claims, legal process (including subpoenas), protect our rights and interests or those of a third party, ensure the public's or any individual's safety, prevent or stop any illegal, unethical, or legally actionable activity, or in accordance with applicable court orders, laws, rules, and regulations.

Access, Correction, Retention, Deletion and Data Portability

Personal information can be accessed and modified using the DICE Driver Portal. Your personal data will be retained on file as long as your driver's account is active. Even if you close your account, your personal information will be retained for an additional three years. Files containing information needed for accounting must be maintained for seven years. In the event that there are any suspicions of fraud, false information, or administrative or criminal violations, the information will be retained on file for ten years. In the event of a disagreement, the information will be kept on file until the claim is settled or it expires. Within one month after receiving an email requesting the deletion and transfer of personal data (to what destination), we respond and provide specifics regarding the timeline for such measures.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

When you place an order or request, enter, submit, or access your personal information, we take a variety of precautions to keep it safe. We grant users access to a secure server. All credit card or sensitive data is encrypted and delivered to our Payment gateway provider's database via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, where it is only available to those who have been granted specific access permissions and are committed to keep the information confidential.

Personal information, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, bank account information, and so on, is never kept on file after a transaction. We cannot guarantee that the information you supply to DICE will be entirely secure, or that a breach of our technical, managerial, or physical protections will not allow access to, disclosure of, alteration of, or destruction of your information on the Service.

Could my information be transferred to other countries?

DICE was founded in Nigeria. We may send information we gather from you via our website, direct interactions, or the usage of our help services to our offices, employees, or third parties located around the world. It can also be seen and hosted anywhere in the globe, including in countries where there are no general regulations controlling the use and transfer of such data. If you use any of the aforementioned services, you freely consent to the trans-border transmission and hosting of such information, to the extent permitted by law.

Is the information collected through the DICE Service secure?

We implement security precautions to keep your information safe. We utilize administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect, prevent unauthorized access, ensure data security, and use your information responsibly. However, security solutions, including encryption, are not perfect, and neither are individuals. People can also make mistakes, conduct crimes on purpose, or break the rules. As a result, while we take reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its perfect security. You understand that any non-disclaimable obligation under applicable law to protect your personal information will be judged by our purposeful misbehavior.

Can I update or correct my information?

Your connection with DICE governs your right to request updates or corrections to the data it gathers. Employees can update or correct their personal information, as stated in our internal corporate employment policies. Customers may request that specific uses and disclosures of personally identifiable information be restricted in the ways described below. Reaching out to us will enable you to:

• Update or correct your personally identifiable information.
• Adjust your preferences for communications and other information you received from us.
• If any of the following paragraphs apply to you, please terminate your account in order to remove any personally identifiable information we may have about you.

Any updates, corrections, revisions, or deletions will have no effect on any information that we maintain or have previously disclosed to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy. To protect your security and privacy, we may take reasonable steps (such as requesting a special password) to verify your identity before allowing you to access your profile or make changes. You are accountable for maintaining the confidentiality of your unique password and account information at all times.

As a result technological restrictions, we are unable to totally remove the information you have supplied to us. Your information may exist in an unreadable copy that we will find difficult or impossible to locate since we must back up our systems to prevent data loss. Subsequently, the receipt of your request, all personal data stored in databases that we regularly use, as well as other easily searchable media, will be updated, corrected, modified, or destroyed as soon as it is reasonable and technically feasible. If you are an end user and would like to update, delete, or get any information we hold about you, please contact the organization where you are a customer.

We use the data collected for Human Resources to deliver benefits to employees and screen candidates.
