Privacy Policy

Last updated May 15, 2020

KABU-RIDE Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us”, “we”, “our” or “KABU”) is committed to respecting the privacy rights of the customers, visitors, and other users of the KABU app (the “App”) or website found at https://riders.kabu.ca/index(the “Site”). This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) sets out how KABU collects, uses, and discloses your personally identifiable information. By visiting the App or Site, you consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as set forth in this Policy. This Policy is only applicable to App and Site, and not to any other third-party websites on which our products are hosted or made available or any other third-party websites that you may be able to access from the App or Site, each of which may have data collection and use practices and policies that differ substantially from this Policy.

KABU complies with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) and the Personal Information Protection Act (British Columbia), as applicable (the “Applicable Privacy Legislation”). The Applicable Privacy Legislation regulates the way private sector organizations operating in Canada may collect, use and disclose personal information. “Personal Information” means information about an identifiable individual, including an individual’s name, home address, telephone number, social insurance number, and gender. Personal Information does not include information that would enable an individual to be contacted at a place of business, for example, an employee’s name, position or title, business telephone number, or business address.

We will only collect, use or disclose Personal Information in accordance with Applicable Privacy Legislation. To learn more about the Applicable Privacy Legislation please visit:
