Careem privacy policy

i was reading careem's privacy policy (yeah using the app from yeah & didn't read privacy policy yet) & i found they collect almost everything & sharing it with 3rd parties & while dragging down i saw "access your info" section i found they want from you money to send you a copy of your data (WTF ARE YOU KIDDING ME, YOU STEALING MY DATA & WANT MONEY TO REQUEST MY DATA) so its so mean from careem to get money to give you right its already free & its collect your data so its very bad move so i decided to use Uber within browser (in new profile in firefox) to stop uber from stealing my data in phone & to be more safe what guys you think ? browser in more safer right ?

    Charging an administrative fee for personal data requests used to be pretty standard the world over. It's only thanks to the GDPR's Art. 15 that is no longer the case in the EU, and is slowly starting to change outside the EU due to international companies finding it easier to just adopt uniform standards across the board.

    So given the fact Careem only operates in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia (according to Wikipedia), it's honestly not that surprising they still charge admin fees for data requests. Careem's data sharing policy does seem to be remarkably broad though, which I would definitely find troubling were I a user of theirs.

    p.s. Your topic title is pretty clickbaity and over the top. "Careem ridesharing service charges for personal data requests and shares user data with subsidiaries and affiliated 3rd party entities" would have been much more reasonable, IMO.

        No worries. This is a learning experience for us all. But in the future I would recommend trying to keep your titles as descriptive and objective as possible, if you can. :)
