Privacy Policy


Effective Date: November 1, 2025

Welcome to Treedi, a platform that empowers taxi drivers to earn passive income by sharing anonymized driving data. At Treedi, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and safeguard your information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices for the Treedi mobile app and website (https://treedi.com).

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our services:

  • Personal Information: When you register as a driver, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and taxi vehicle details (e.g., license plate) to verify your account and process payouts.
  • Driving Data: With your consent, we collect anonymized data such as GPS routes, odometer readings, speed, and driving habits (e.g., braking patterns) to calculate earnings and contribute to AI training or mapping.
  • Device Information: We collect device type, operating system, IP address, and app usage data to optimize performance and troubleshoot issues.
  • Payment Information: Bank account details are collected for payouts, securely processed via our payment partners.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used to:

  • Enable you to earn income by sharing driving data.
  • Verify your identity and taxi vehicle for safety and eligibility.
  • Process and deliver payouts securely.
  • Improve our app’s functionality and develop new features.
  • Comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax reporting).
  • Send you updates, promotions, or support messages (with opt-out options).

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal or driving data. We may share information as follows:

  • Service Providers: With trusted partners (e.g., payment processors, cloud storage) who follow strict privacy standards.
  • Anonymized Data: Aggregated, non-identifiable driving data may be shared with AI training or mapping partners to enhance services.
  • Legal Compliance: If required by law or to protect Treedi’s rights (e.g., fraud prevention).

4. Your Choices and Rights

You have control over your data:

  • Consent: You can opt out of driving data collection at any time in the app settings, though this may pause earnings.
  • Access and Deletion: Request a copy of your data or ask us to delete it by contacting info@treedi.com.
  • GDPR/CCPA Rights: If you’re in the EU, UK, or California, you have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict your data, and to object to processing.
  • Marketing: Opt out of promotional emails via the unsubscribe link or app settings.

5. Data Security

We use industry-standard encryption (e.g., AES-256) for data in transit and at rest. Access to your information is restricted to authorized personnel. However, no system is 100% secure, and we encourage you to use strong passwords and report suspicious activity.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed for legal purposes. Driving data is anonymized and stored for up to 30 days after a payout, unless you request deletion. Inactive accounts may be deleted after 2 years.

7. International Data Transfers

Treedi operates in Canada, but data may be processed in other countries (e.g., via cloud providers). We ensure GDPR-compliant safeguards for EU data transfers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

8. Children’s Privacy

Treedi is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor’s data was collected, contact us to remove it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect new features or legal requirements. Changes will be posted here, and we’ll notify you via email or app alerts for significant updates. Continued use of Treedi after changes implies acceptance.
