Privacy policy

Corridor is a carpool app for people with a verified work email. This page explains what we collect, why, who can see it, how long we keep it, and what you can do about it.

What we collect

  • Your account. Your name, the email you sign in with, and your work email, which we check with a code. We keep your company's email domain so we know you belong.
  • Your place. One place you choose: where you are picked up for rides to work and where you get off on rides home. A new one replaces the old one.
  • Rides. Rides you post or book: times, start and end, seats, who rode, the price, and when each person was picked up. Car owners can add a short description of their car.
  • Messages and reports. Ride chat, questions to a car owner, and any report you make.
  • Bank details (car owners only). The bank, account number and account name riders pay into on a paid ride.
  • Location during rides. See the next section.
  • Your device. A notification token so we can send ride alerts, and basic app activity, such as when a ride was started or ended.

Location

Corridor uses your location only around your rides.

  • Live location. From 30 minutes before a ride until you are in the car or the ride is over, your location is shared with the people on that ride. Riders see the car; the car owner sees riders waiting. Riders never see each other. Only the latest point is kept, and it is removed within a day.
  • When the app is closed. If you allow it, sharing continues while Corridor is in the background or closed, but only within that same ride window. A notification shows while it runs. You can pause it for any ride, or turn it off in your phone's settings.
  • Safety record. While a ride is on the road, the route is recorded for safety. Only you and the Corridor safety team can see it.

We never track you outside your rides, and we never sell your location.

Why we use it

  • To run rides: matching you with car owners going your way, seats, pickups and the ride chat.
  • To keep people safe: checking work emails, looking into reports, and blocking people who break the rules.
  • To send ride alerts and reminders you can turn off.
  • To fix problems and understand how Corridor is used.

Who can see it

  • Other members see your name and the rides you post or book. Your car and bank details are shown only to riders with a seat in your car.
  • The Corridor team can see ride records, reports and safety records to keep people safe.
  • Services we use to run Corridor: Supabase (our database and sign in), Mapbox (maps, place search and routes), Expo (app updates and notifications), Apple and Google (app stores and notifications), and Vercel (this website). They handle data only to provide their service to us.
  • AI help for our team. Our team can ask an AI service (DeepSeek) to summarise reports and trends. It receives coded labels, never names, emails, exact locations or chat messages.
  • The law. We share data if the law requires it or to protect someone from harm.

We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

How long we keep it

We keep ride records, routes, seats, messages and reports for safety and to resolve disputes. When you delete your account, your profile, rides, messages, bank details and work email are deleted, and a private record of past rides is kept for safety. Live location points are removed within a day.

Your choices and rights

  • You can change your name, place, car and bank details in the app at any time.
  • You can pause location for a ride, or turn location off in your phone's settings.
  • You can turn notifications off in the app or on your phone.
  • You can delete your account in the app, under You.

Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 you can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, object to how we use it, or complain to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission. Email us to ask.

Who can use Corridor

Corridor is for adults with a work email. It is not meant for anyone under 18.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date at the top. If a change is important, we will tell you in the app.
