Privacy Policy

1. Collection of personal information

1.1 Information You Provide to Us

We will only collect personal information with your expressed consent and by first notifying you of the purposes for our doing so. For every purpose, you will have the option to provide consent or not. We collect certain personal information from you when you set up an account or otherwise when you use the services available through our website (“Services”).

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you create or modify your account, request on-demand services, contact customer support, or otherwise communicate with us. This information may include: name, email, phone number, postal address, government issued identification documents, profile picture, payment method, items requested (for delivery services), delivery notes, and other information you choose to provide.

1.2 Information We Collect Through Use of Our Services

When you use our Services, we may collect information about you in the following general categories:

• Location Information: If you permit the Slyk app to access location services through the permission system used by your mobile operating system (“platform”), we may collect the precise location of your device when the app is running in the foreground or background. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.
• Contacts Information: If you permit the Slyk app to access the address book on your device through the permission system used by your mobile platform, we may access and store names and contact information from your address book to facilitate social interactions through our Services and for other purposes described in this Statement or at the time of consent or collection.
• Transaction Information: We collect transaction details related to your use of our Services, including the type of service requested, date and time the service was provided, amount charged, and other related transaction details.
• Usage and Preference Information: We collect information about how you and site visitors interact with our Services, preferences expressed, and settings chosen. In some cases we do this through the use of cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies that create and maintain unique identifiers. To learn more about these technologies, please see our Cookie Statement.
• Device Information: We may collect information about your mobile device, including, for example, the hardware model, operating system and version, software and file names and versions, preferred language, unique device identifier, advertising identifiers, serial number, device motion information, and mobile network information.

1.3 Important Information about Platform Permissions

Most mobile platforms (iOS, Android, etc.) have defined certain types of device data that apps cannot access without your consent. And these platforms have different permission systems for obtaining your consent. The iOS platform will alert you the first time the Slyk app wants permission to access certain types of data and will let you consent (or not consent) to that request. Android devices will notify you of the permissions that the Slyk app seeks before you first use the app, and your use of the app constitutes your consent.

1.4 Information We Collect from Other Sources

We may also receive information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through our Services. For example, when you request Services, other Members may provide us with a User rating after conducting a transaction with you. We may also receive data from third parties about you. This may include technical data from analytics and advertising partners like Google, from public databases, credit bureaus, ID verification partners, resellers and channel partners, joint marketing partners, and social media platforms. ID verification partners use a combination of government records and publicly available information about you to verify your identity. Such information includes your name, address, job role, public employment profile, credit history, status on any sanctions lists maintained by public authorities, and other relevant data. We obtain such information to comply with our legal obligations, such as anti-money laundering laws.

2. Use information

Our primary purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a secure, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. In general, we use personal information to create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our Services, content and advertising, and for loss prevention and anti-fraud purposes. Examples of how we may use this information include:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our Services, including, for example, to make business introductions, manage transactions, send receipts, provide products and services you request (and send related information), develop new features, provide customer support for transactions we facilitate, develop safety features, authenticate users, and send product updates and administrative messages;

3. How we protect your information

We have implemented security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. We protect your personal information by maintaining physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards. We use network safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, enforce physical access controls, and authorize access to personal information only for those people who require access to fulfill their job responsibilities.

However, we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, unauthorized acquisition, or alteration of your data will not occur. Please recognize that you play a vital role in protecting your own personal information. When registering with our Services, it is important to choose a password of sufficient length and complexity, to not reveal this password to any third-parties, and to immediately notify us if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.

Furthermore, we cannot ensure or warrant the security or confidentiality of information you transmit to us or receive from us by Internet or wireless connection, including email, phone, or SMS, since we have no way of protecting that information once it leaves and until it reaches us. If you have reason to believe that your data is no longer secure, please contact us at the email address or mailing address listed in paragraph 6 below.

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, provided however that we may keep your personal information for five years or more from the date you cease to be our customer, depending on applicable law or regulations in the jurisdictions we operate.
