Draft for legal review. This notice was prepared as a starting point and must be reviewed by a qualified lawyer before use. Items in [brackets] must be filled in.

[COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("we") runs a delivery platform: partner companies send us orders, and drivers on our platform pick them up and deliver them. This notice explains what personal data we process, why, how long we keep it and the rights you have under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India).

If you are a driver

What we collectName, phone number, vehicle type, your login token, your location while you are on shift (every few seconds), delivery status updates, proof-of-delivery photos you take, cash you collect, earnings and payouts, and the record of your consent.
WhyTo offer you deliveries near you, plan your route, show customers where their parcel is, settle cash on delivery, pay you, and resolve disputes ("the driver never arrived").
Location trackingOnly while you are online (on shift). We ask for your consent before you can go online. You can withdraw it at any time in the app; you then go offline and cannot receive work until you consent again.
Who sees itThe company whose order you carry sees your first name, a masked phone number and your live location only while you hold their order, and the route you took for that order if they raise a dispute. They never see your other orders.
How longLocation history: 30 days. Delivery photos: 90 days. Earnings and payout records: as long as tax and accounting law requires [period to be confirmed by counsel]. When you leave, you can ask us to erase your profile and location history.

If you receive deliveries

What we receiveFrom the company you ordered from: your name, phone number, delivery address and instructions. At delivery: the one-time code you give the driver, and possibly a photo or signature as proof of delivery.
WhyTo deliver your parcel and prove that it was delivered.
Calls[If enabled:] Drivers call you through a masked number; they do not see your real phone number.
Who is responsibleThe company you ordered from decides how your data is used; we process it on their behalf. Requests about your data are best sent to them, and they can ask us to export or erase it.
How longYour name, phone and address are removed from completed orders after 180 days; delivery photos after 90 days.

Service providers

We use providers to run the service, under contracts that limit their use of the data: cloud hosting [provider, region], maps and address lookup [OpenStreetMap / Google], phone call masking [Exotel / Twilio], and browser push notification services (Google, Apple, Mozilla, Microsoft) for drivers who turn notifications on.
