Privacy Policy
Last updated: 22 July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Jamogo ("Jamogo", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the Jamogo mobile app and website (together, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide:
- Account details - name, phone number, email address, and profile photo.
- Identity verification details, where required for driver accounts.
- Saved places (e.g. home, work) and trusted contacts you add.
- Payment and mobile money details used to top up your in-app wallet.
- Messages, ride offers, counter-offers, and support requests you send through the Service.
- Ratings and feedback you give or receive after a trip.
Information collected automatically:
- Location data before, during, and after a trip (see Location data).
- Trip details - pickup and drop-off points, route, distance, duration, fare offered/accepted, and ride mode (Solo or Pool).
- Device information (device model, operating system, unique identifiers) and app usage data.
- One-time verification codes sent to your phone number via SMS to confirm you own the number.
2. How we use your information
- To create and secure your account, and verify your phone number.
- To match riders and drivers, calculate and negotiate fares, and provide live trip tracking.
- To process wallet top-ups and ride payments.
- To power safety features such as live trip sharing and emergency SOS.
- To provide customer support and respond to enquiries or disputes.
- To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms & Conditions.
- To improve and personalise the Service, and to comply with legal obligations.
3. Location data
Jamogo collects precise location data from your device when the app is in use, and for a limited time in the background during an active trip, so that we can match you with nearby drivers or riders, provide turn-by-turn routing, calculate fares, and support the safety features described below. You can control location permissions through your device settings, but some features of the Service will not work without location access.
5. Safety features (SOS & trusted contacts)
If you add trusted contacts, you may choose to share your live trip status and location with them. If you trigger the emergency SOS feature, we share your live location and trip details with Jamogo's safety team and, where enabled, your trusted contacts, to help coordinate a response. These features are provided as an aid and do not guarantee a particular outcome or response time.
6. Payments & wallet
Wallet top-ups and payments are processed through mobile money and payment partners. Jamogo stores transaction records (amount, date, status, and related trip) but does not store your mobile money PIN. Payment partners handle your payment credentials under their own privacy and security terms.
7. Data retention
We retain account and trip information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service, resolve disputes, meet legal and regulatory obligations, and enforce our agreements. When no longer needed, information is deleted or anonymised.
8. Security
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your rights & choices
- Access, correct, or update your account information from within the app.
- Request a copy of, or deletion of, your personal information, subject to legal and operational retention requirements.
- Manage location, notification, and contacts permissions from your device settings.
- Delete saved places or trusted contacts at any time.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
10. Children's privacy
The Service is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the app or by other reasonable means before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
