What private data do we collect from the people who visit our website?

In the following description of our processing activities, we refer in each case to categories of personal data. A category includes several personal data, which are usually processed together for the purposes.

Personal data is information that can identify you or even make you identifiable.

We generally process the following categories of personal data for the following reasons:

  1. Contact Information:

Name, address, telephone number, email address, your ID from any social media (if applicable).

Reason:

If you contact us, we collect this data because we need to know who we are talking to and what we have been talking about so that we can help you with your reason for contacting us. This also applies if you leave comments on social media on our fan pages. We do not combine this data with your profile data on our platform, but we can still identify you by your social media ID.

  1. Location data:

Address, Postcode, City, Country, Longitude, Latitude

Reason:

We need these data to be able to deliver your orders. We create the longitude and latitude automatically to be able to process your delivery address in our other linked systems, such as our Rider app, and to display your address to our riders or riders of restaurants.

  1. Profile data (master data):

Name, email address, password, telephone number, delivery addresses, interests, demographic data (age, delivery address)

Reason:

This data is your master data, which we absolutely need for our services. Without an email address / telephone number and a password, you cannot create a profile. Together with your name, this is your master data. We need your age to ensure that you are not a minor.

  1. Device information and access data:

Device ID, device identification, operating system and corresponding version, time of access, configuration settings, information on Internet connection (IP address)

Reason:

With each access this information is stored by us for technical reasons. We also use parts of this information to detect suspicious behavior at an early stage and to avert damage.

  1. Order information:

Order history, selected restaurants, invoices, order ID, comments on orders, information on payment method, delivery address, successful orders, and cancelled orders

Reason:

Each time you place an order, this information will be added to your profile. You can view all this information in your profile at any time. The information should give you an overview of your own interests and previous orders. We will also use the same information to improve our services. In addition, we will anonymize this information when you request a deletion or when your profile becomes inactive to continue to use this information in an anonymized form to optimize our services.

  1. Communication data

Name, email address, telephone number, device ID

Reason:

If you would like to receive a newsletter, an SMS, or an in-app push notification from us, we need certain information to send you the messages. Instead of addressing you with "Hey You", we find it more customer friendly to address you with your name. This category of personal information is also used by us to contact you, for example, if a product cannot be delivered and we want to offer you an alternative instead.

  1. Financial information:

Financial data is related to your payment methods, such as credit card or bank transfer details. We collect financial data to allow you to purchase, order, or exchange services from our website. We store limited financial data. Most financial data is transferred to our payment processor, PayPal, and PayStack and you should review these processors' Privacy Policies to determine how they use, disclose, and protect your financial data.

    1. As a courtesy, PayPal Privacy Policy can be found here https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

    2. PayStack Privacy Policy can be found here

Reason:

We need this information to track your payments and assign them to the orders you have placed.

  1. Delivery information:

Name, delivery address, phone number, order ID

Reason:

In accordance with the principle of data minimization, we only provide our riders and restaurants with the information that they need from you to prepare and deliver your order.

  1. Retailers. Retailers may provide us with information about you directly or indirectly via third-party service providers. For instance, Retailers may collect additional personal information from you while fulfilling an order placed through Website/App or Services and share it directly with BonGeso. Retailers may store this personal information about you using a point-of-sale service provider that enables Retailers to process and fulfill transactions, manage inventory, maintain records, and report transactions in accordance with applicable law. Retailers may direct their point-of-sale service provider to share such personal information with us to ensure that our and our service provider's records about your order are consistent, allowing us to process your order efficiently and effectively. Similarly, retailers may occasionally utilize loyalty program service providers to reward you for purchases made with the retailer. Retailers may share personal information collected through their loyalty program with BonGeso, either directly or through the Retailer's loyalty program service provider, to enable you to redeem past rewards and apply them to an order placed through Website/App or Services.

Data About Your Accounts on Other Services:

  1. We may obtain certain information through your social media or other online accounts if they are connected to your BonGeso account. If you login to via Facebook or another third-party platform or service, we ask for your permission to access certain information about that other account. For example, depending on the platform or service, we may collect your name, profile picture, account ID number, login email address, location, the physical location of your access devices, gender, birthday, and list of friends or contacts.

  2. Social Networking Data: We may access personal information from social networking sites, and apps, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google, which may include your name, your social network username, location, email address, age, gender, profile picture, and any other public information. If you do not want us to access this information, please go to the specific social networking site and change your privacy settings.

  3. Mobile Device Data: If you use our Website/App via a mobile device or app, we may collect information about your mobile device, including device ID, model and manufacturer, and location information.

  4. Those platforms and services make information available to us through their APIs. The information we receive depends on what information you (via your privacy settings) or the platform or service decide to give us.

  5. If you access or use our Services or to buy goods through a third-party platform or service, or click on any third-party links, the collection, use, and sharing of your data will also be subject to the privacy policies and other agreements of that third party.

Automatically collected information about your use of our Services or tools,

This information is registered automatically with the visit by own configuration or manual of each tool on the Website/App.

 

This is to improve the Website/App, services, and security, among which we include security inspection by the administration of the Website/App and third parties.

The information we collect includes:

Log and Usage Data. Log and usage data is service-related, diagnostic, usage, and performance information our servers automatically collect when you access or use our Website/App and which we record in log files. Depending on how you interact with us, this log data may include your IP address, device information, browser type and settings and information about your activity in the Website/App (such as the date/time stamps associated with your usage, pages and files viewed, searches and other actions you take such as which features you use), device event information (such as system activity, error reports (sometimes called 'crash dumps') and hardware settings).

Device Data. We collect device data such as information about your computer, phone, tablet, or other device you use to access the Website/App. Depending on the device used, this device data may include information such as your IP address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, location, browser type, hardware model Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, operating system, and system configuration information.

Location Data. We collect location data such as information about your device's location, which can be either precise or imprecise. How much information we collect depends on the type and settings of the device you use to access the Website/App. For example, we may use GPS and other technologies to collect geolocation data that tells us your current location (based on your IP address). You can opt out of allowing us to collect this information either by refusing access to the information or by disabling your Location setting on your device. Note however, if you choose to opt out, you may not be able to use certain aspects of the Services.

Do Not Track

Currently, various browsers — such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari — offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to Web sites’ visited by the user about the user's browser DNT preference setting. BonGeso does not currently commit to responding to browsers' DNT signals with respect to the Company's Web sites, in part, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. BonGeso takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.
