Information You Provide
The Information you provide to us includes:
Account Information. When you create or update your Account, we collect your name, email address, phone number, password (which we store in encrypted format), date of birth (which we use to verify your eligibility to use our Services and for age-restricted deliveries), profile picture (if you choose to upload one), preferred language, and any other information you choose to provide. If you register using a third-party service such as Facebook, Apple, or Google, we collect information from that service as permitted by your privacy settings on that service, which may include your name, email address, and profile picture.
Identity Verification Information. To verify your identity, prevent fraud, and comply with legal requirements, we may collect government-issued identification documents (such as driver's licenses or passports), which may include your photograph, identification number, date of birth, and other information contained in such documents. We may also collect photographs or selfies for identity verification purposes, and with your explicit consent where required by law, we may use facial recognition technology to verify your identity. For certain deliveries, we collect your signature or electronic signature.
Payment Information. We collect payment method information (such as credit or debit card details), billing name and address, and transaction history. Payment card information is processed by our third-party payment processors and we do not store complete payment card numbers in our systems. We maintain records of your transaction history for tax, accounting, and legal compliance purposes.
Delivery Information. For each delivery transaction, we collect pickup and delivery addresses, recipient name and contact information, package details (including size, weight, and contents description), special delivery instructions, delivery confirmation information (which may include photographs, signatures, or PIN codes), and the date and time of delivery request and completion.
Communications. We collect and maintain records of all communications you have with us or through our Platform, including customer service inquiries, feedback, ratings and reviews of Delivery Professionals or delivery services, complaints, dispute-related communications, survey responses, and any other communications you send to us or through our Platform. We may record phone calls for quality assurance and training purposes, where permitted by law and with appropriate notice.
Information We Collect Automatically
When you access or use our Platform, we automatically collect certain information, including:
Device Information. We collect information about the device you use to access our Platform, including hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, mobile network information, IP address, browser type and version, and other technical information about your device.
Location Data. When you use our Services, we collect precise location information from your mobile device if you have granted us permission to do so. We collect this information when the app is running in the foreground (app open and on-screen) and, if you enable this feature, when the app is running in the background (app open but not on-screen). We also collect approximate location information based on your IP address. Location information is essential for providing our delivery services, including matching Customers with nearby Delivery Professionals, providing accurate delivery estimates, enabling real-time delivery tracking, and verifying delivery completion.
Usage Data. We collect information about your interactions with our Platform, including the pages or features you access, the time and date of your visits, the time spent on pages, search queries, app crashes and error reports, and other usage patterns and preferences.

This includes information about your browsing behavior, referring and exit pages, and conversion information. For more information about our use of cookies and similar technologies, please see Section 6 below.
Information We Receive from Other Sources
We may receive Personal Information about you from other sources, including:
Social Media Services. If you create or log into your Account through a social media service, we will receive information from that service as permitted by your settings on that service and the service's privacy policy.
Other Users. We may receive information about you from other users, such as when a Customer provides delivery recipient information, when users submit ratings or feedback about you, or when safety incidents or complaints are reported.
Business Partners. We receive information from Business Partners who provide services to us, such as identity verification providers who help us verify your identity, background check providers (for Delivery Professionals), payment processors who help us process payments, and marketing partners who help us understand our users and improve our Services.
We receive information from Business Partners who provide services to us, including identity verification and background check providers. For Delivery Professionals, we work with third-party providers to verify identity using government-issued identification, conduct criminal background checks where permitted by law, verify driving records and license status, check for relevant safety-related information, and confirm work authorization status in Canada.
Background checks conducted on Delivery Professionals may include criminal record searches at local, provincial, and national levels, driving record abstracts from provincial motor vehicle authorities, identity verification against government databases, and sex offender registry checks where applicable and permitted by law. This information is used solely to determine eligibility to provide delivery services on our Platform, maintain platform safety and security, comply with our insurance requirements, and meet regulatory obligations.
Delivery Professionals have the right to be informed before a background check is conducted, know the scope and nature of the background check, receive a copy of any background check report upon request, and dispute inaccurate information in accordance with applicable law. All background check information is handled in strict confidence and retained only as long as necessary for safety, legal, and regulatory compliance purposes. We do not use background check information for any purpose other than those stated above.
Public Sources. We may collect information from publicly available sources to verify information you provide to us or for fraud prevention purposes.
Special Categories of Personal Information
In certain circumstances, we may collect special categories of Personal Information as defined under Applicable Privacy Laws. This may include:
Health Information. You may provide health-related information in delivery instructions, such as allergies or dietary restrictions. We collect this information only as necessary to fulfill your delivery request and share it only with the Delivery Professional and merchant as needed to complete your order.
Biometric Information. Where permitted by law and with your explicit consent, we may collect biometric information derived from photographs for identity verification purposes. This may include using facial recognition technology to compare a selfie you provide with the photo on your government-issued ID.
Precise Location Data. We collect precise GPS location data when you have enabled location services for our app. This sensitive location data is essential for providing our real-time delivery services.
We collect these special categories of Personal Information only with your explicit consent where required by law, and we use appropriate security measures to protect this sensitive information.
Referral Program Information
If you participate in our referral program, we collect additional information to administer the program. This includes your referral code and associated Account information, name and contact information of individuals you refer (including email address or phone number), and your preferred payment method for referral rewards.
When individuals you refer to our Services create an Account using your referral code, we collect confirmation that they used your referral code, their Account creation and first delivery completion status, and information necessary to calculate and distribute referral rewards.
Before sharing someone's contact information through our referral program, you represent and warrant that you have obtained their permission to do so. We will only use referred individuals' contact information to send a single invitation to try our Services, track referral program participation if they create an Account, and comply with legal obligations. We will not sell or use referral contact information for any purpose other than administering the referral program.
Referred individuals may opt out of future referral invitations by contacting us at privacy@pkup.ca. Participation in the referral program is subject to our Referral Program Terms and Conditions, which may include additional privacy-related provisions.
Data Minimization and Purpose Limitation
We are committed to collecting only the minimum amount of Personal Information necessary to provide our Services. We do not collect Personal Information for purposes that are incompatible with those identified in this Policy. When we identify opportunities to reduce the amount of Personal Information we collect or the length of time we retain it, we will implement such changes as part of our privacy-by-design approach.
We regularly review our data collection practices to ensure that we are not collecting excessive Personal Information. If we determine that certain Personal Information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, we will securely delete or anonymize such information in accordance with our retention policies.
HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We use the Personal Information we collect for the following purposes:
To Provide Our Services
We use your Personal Information to provide, maintain, and improve our Services, including to create and manage your Account; process and facilitate delivery requests; match Customers with Delivery Professionals; calculate delivery fees and process payments; provide real-time tracking of deliveries; communicate with you about your deliveries; verify age for restricted deliveries; generate receipts and transaction records; personalize your experience on our Platform; and otherwise provide the Services you request.
For Safety and Security
We use Personal Information to maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our Platform and Services, including to verify user identities; detect, investigate, and prevent fraud and unauthorized access; monitor for safety incidents and inappropriate behavior; investigate complaints and disputes; enforce our Terms of Service and other policies; protect against malware and security threats; and protect the rights, property, and safety of PKUP, our users, and the public.
To Communicate with You
We use your Personal Information to communicate with you about our Services, including to send service-related announcements and updates; respond to your inquiries and provide customer support; send you technical notices, security alerts, and support messages; inform you about changes to our Services, policies, or terms; and with your consent, send you marketing communications about our Services, promotions, and offers.
For Legal and Compliance Purposes
We use Personal Information as necessary to comply with legal obligations and protect our legal interests, including to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal process; respond to lawful requests from law enforcement, courts, and regulatory authorities; establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; maintain records as required by law; meet tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations; and conduct audits and compliance reviews.
To Improve and Develop Our Services
We use Personal Information for research, analysis, and development purposes to enhance our Services and create innovative features. Our research and development activities include analyzing delivery patterns to optimize routes and reduce delivery times, studying user behavior to improve app design and functionality, identifying common customer service issues to develop better solutions, and testing new features with select user groups before general release.
We employ machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies to enhance our Services, including training algorithms to improve delivery time predictions, developing models to better match Customers with Delivery Professionals, enhancing fraud detection capabilities, and improving address recognition and navigation accuracy. These technologies process Personal Information in accordance with privacy-by-design principles and appropriate safeguards.
Our market research activities involve understanding delivery trends in different neighborhoods, analyzing peak demand periods to ensure adequate service coverage, studying user preferences to develop new service offerings, and conducting surveys and user interviews to gather feedback. We may also engage in academic and industry research, including collaborating with universities on transportation and logistics research, participating in industry studies on gig economy trends, contributing anonymized and aggregated data to urban planning initiatives, and supporting research on sustainable delivery methods.
We pursue innovation projects focused on exploring new delivery technologies and methods, developing features for accessibility and inclusion, creating tools to reduce environmental impact, and testing integration with emerging technologies. All research and development activities employ appropriate safeguards, including data minimization techniques, anonymization and aggregation where possible, secure testing environments, and ethical review processes for research projects.
Participation in user research, surveys, focus groups, or beta testing programs is always voluntary. You may opt out of being contacted for research purposes by adjusting your preferences in your Account settings or by contacting us at privacy@pkup.ca. If you participate in research activities, we may provide additional information about how your data will be used for the specific research project.
For Marketing and Advertising
With your consent where required, we use Personal Information for marketing purposes, including to send you promotional communications about our Services; provide you with personalized offers and recommendations; conduct market research and surveys; measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns; and display targeted advertising.
For Business Operations
We use Personal Information for our internal business operations, including for business planning and analysis, financial reporting and forecasting, risk assessment and management, workforce planning and management, and other legitimate business purposes.
With Your Consent
We may use your Personal Information for other purposes with your specific consent.
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
We use automated processes and algorithms to enable essential parts of our Services and enhance your experience on our Platform. These automated processes help us provide efficient, safe, and reliable delivery services. Our primary automated processes include matching Customers with Delivery Professionals, calculating pricing, preventing fraud, and optimizing our Services.
When you request a delivery, our automated matching systems evaluate various factors to determine the best available Delivery Professional, including your location and delivery destination, proximity and availability of Delivery Professionals, current traffic conditions and estimated delivery times, vehicle capacity requirements based on package size, historical performance data and user ratings, and previous interactions between specific Customers and Delivery Professionals. The matching process is designed to minimize wait times while ensuring efficient service delivery.
We use automated pricing systems to calculate delivery fees based on distance between pickup and delivery locations, estimated time for delivery completion, current demand and supply conditions, package size and weight categories, time of day and day of week, weather conditions and seasonal factors, and applicable taxes and regulatory fees. Our pricing algorithms ensure fair and transparent pricing while maintaining service availability.
We employ machine learning models and automated processes for fraud prevention and security purposes. These systems detect and prevent fraudulent activities, identify suspicious account behavior or unauthorized access attempts, monitor for safety incidents or policy violations, verify user identities and payment methods, and flag potentially problematic delivery requests. These automated security measures are essential for maintaining the integrity and safety of our Platform.
We also use automated analysis for service optimization, including predicting delivery demand patterns, optimizing delivery routes, personalizing your experience based on past orders, recommending nearby Delivery Professionals, and estimating accurate delivery times. These optimizations improve service quality and user experience.
You have the right to request human review of any automated decision that significantly affects you. If you have concerns about an automated decision, please contact us using the information provided in Section 12 of this Policy.
Age Verification for Restricted Deliveries
For deliveries involving age-restricted items such as alcohol, cannabis, tobacco products, or certain medications, we implement additional verification procedures to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. These procedures involve collecting and verifying government-issued photo identification to confirm that recipients meet minimum age requirements.
When you first order age-restricted items, we collect images of your government-issued photo identification (driver's license or passport), extract and verify your date of birth, verify the authenticity of the identification document, and record the time and location of age verification. For each delivery of age-restricted items, our Delivery Professionals must verify that the recipient's identification matches our records, the person is of legal age for the specific product, the recipient matches the identification presented, and the delivery address matches order requirements.
Age-restricted items cannot be left unattended and must be delivered directly to the person who placed the order or an authorized recipient of legal age. Delivery Professionals are required to refuse delivery if valid identification cannot be produced, the recipient appears intoxicated or impaired, the identification appears fraudulent or altered, or the recipient is not the intended person or authorized recipient.
We implement appropriate security measures for age verification data, including encrypting identification images during transmission and storage, limiting access to authorized personnel for verification purposes only, retaining identification data only as long as legally required, and prohibiting the use of identification information for marketing purposes. These measures ensure compliance with legal requirements while protecting the privacy and security of your identification documents.
You have the right to request information about our age verification process, access records of when your identification was verified, and request correction of any errors in age verification data. Failure to provide valid age verification will result in cancellation of the order for age-restricted items, and you may still be charged applicable cancellation fees as set forth in our Terms of Service.
HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION
We share Personal Information in the following circumstances:
With Other Users
We share certain information between users as necessary to facilitate deliveries:
With Delivery Professionals. When you request a delivery, we share your name, contact information, pickup and delivery addresses, delivery instructions, and real-time location (if you have enabled location sharing) with the Delivery Professional who accepts your delivery request. This information is necessary for the Delivery Professional to complete your delivery.
With Customers. When you accept a delivery request as a Delivery Professional, we share your name, photo, vehicle information, ratings, and real-time location with the Customer to enable them to track their delivery and communicate with you if necessary.
With Recipients. We share delivery status information and Delivery Professional details with the recipient of a delivery to enable them to track and receive their delivery.
With Service Providers
We share Personal Information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, including companies that provide payment processing, cloud hosting and data storage, identity verification and background checks, fraud prevention and security services, customer support tools, analytics and data analysis, marketing and advertising services, and other services necessary for our operations. These service providers are contractually required to protect your Personal Information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
With Business Partners
We may share Personal Information with business partners, including companies with whom we partner to offer co-branded services, promotions, or loyalty programs; businesses that use our Services for their delivery needs; and other partners with whom we collaborate to provide or improve our Services. When we share Personal Information with business partners, we require them to protect your information and use it only for authorized purposes.
For Legal Reasons
We may disclose Personal Information when we believe it is necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; enforce our Terms of Service and other agreements; protect the rights, property, or safety of PKUP, our users, or others; detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues; or respond to emergencies where we believe physical safety is at risk.
In Connection with Business Transfers
If PKUP is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, corporate reorganization, bankruptcy, or other business transaction, we may disclose Personal Information as part of that transaction. In such cases, we will require the recipient to protect your Personal Information consistent with this Policy.
With Your Consent
We may share your Personal Information in other ways when you provide your explicit consent or direct us to do so.
For Custom Audience and Social Media Advertising
We may share certain information with social media platforms and advertising partners to deliver targeted advertisements and measure their effectiveness. This practice, commonly known as "Custom Audience" advertising, involves sharing hashed or encrypted identifiers with platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Google, and others.
The purposes of such sharing include showing you relevant PKUP advertisements when you use third-party services, excluding existing customers from certain promotional campaigns, finding similar audiences who may be interested in our Services, and measuring the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. The information shared typically includes hashed email addresses, phone numbers, or device identifiers, which the platforms match against their user databases without revealing your identity to us.
When you interact with our social media pages or use social login features, the social media platform may share information with us as permitted by your privacy settings on that platform. We may receive your name, email address, profile picture, and friends list if permitted by your settings. Your interactions with our content on social media platforms may be visible to others on those platforms according to their privacy policies.
To opt out of Custom Audience advertising, you may contact us at privacy@pkup.ca to request that we exclude your information from custom audience creation. You may also adjust your advertising preferences directly on each social media platform through their privacy or advertising settings. Please note that opting out of custom audiences will not affect advertisements you see based on your activity on the social media platforms themselves, only those resulting from our sharing of information with those platforms.
Aggregated or De-identified Information
We may share aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you for any purpose, including business development, research, marketing, and analytics.
Public Information
Certain information you provide through our Services may be visible to other users or the public. This includes ratings and written reviews you provide about Delivery Professionals, which may be visible to those Delivery Professionals and to other Customers considering using their services. When you submit a review, your first name and last initial may be displayed with your review. Any photos you upload of delivered items may be shared with merchants and other users as necessary for service-related purposes.
For Delivery Professionals, certain profile information is necessarily public to enable Customers to make informed decisions. This includes the Delivery Professional's first name, profile photo, vehicle information, aggregate rating, and general statistics about delivery history. During active deliveries, Customers can see their assigned Delivery Professional's real-time location if location sharing is enabled.
Customers' names and delivery addresses are visible to Delivery Professionals during active deliveries to enable successful completion of the service. This information is only accessible for the duration necessary to complete the delivery and for a limited time thereafter for customer service purposes.
We may publicly share aggregated statistics about deliveries, popular delivery areas, service trends, and other analytical information. This information is anonymized and aggregated in a manner that cannot be used to identify any individual user.
You may control what information becomes public by choosing not to upload photos or write reviews, using initials or a nickname in your Account settings where permitted, or contacting us at privacy@pkup.ca to request removal of content you have posted. However, please note that once information has been made public, we cannot control how others may use or share that information.
Emergency Situations
In emergency situations, we may share information with emergency services, law enforcement, or other relevant authorities to protect safety and respond to emergencies. This includes situations where we believe there is an imminent risk of death or serious physical injury to any person, when a user contacts emergency services through our Platform, or when we detect a serious safety incident during a delivery.
The information we may share in emergency situations includes user name and contact information, real-time location data if available, delivery details and route information, vehicle information for Delivery Professionals, and relevant communication records that may assist emergency responders. We may share this information without your consent when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of any person.
Our Platform may include emergency features such as in-app emergency assistance buttons that connect directly to 911, automatic location sharing with emergency responders when emergency features are activated, and safety check-ins for deliveries in progress. Use of these features constitutes consent to share relevant information with emergency services.
You may manage certain emergency contact preferences in your Account settings. However, we reserve the right to share information with authorities regardless of your preferences if we believe it is necessary to prevent serious harm, respond to an emergency, or comply with legal obligations. Our emergency response procedures are designed to prioritize user safety while respecting privacy to the greatest extent possible under the circumstances.

Interest-Based Advertising
We and our advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to deliver personalized advertising about our Services on our Platform and third-party websites and applications. Interest-based advertising, also known as targeted advertising or online behavioral advertising, uses information collected across multiple websites, apps, and other online services to predict your preferences and show you ads that are more relevant to you.
We may share certain information with advertising partners to display personalized ads about PKUP services on other platforms, measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, understand how you interact with our ads, prevent showing you the same ad repeatedly, and provide aggregate reporting to advertisers. The information shared may include device identifiers, hashed email addresses, and usage data. We require our advertising partners to protect your information and use it only for authorized advertising purposes.
Your Advertising Choices
You have several options to control interest-based advertising. You may visit the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada (DAAC) at youradchoices.ca/choices to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies. You may download the DAAC's AppChoices mobile app at youradchoices.ca/appchoices to manage mobile app advertising. Additional opt-out options are available through the Network Advertising Initiative at networkadvertising.org/choices.
For device-specific controls, iOS users may go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking and turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track." Android users may go to Settings > Privacy > Ads and enable "Opt out of Ads Personalization." We respect Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where technically feasible. You may enable GPC in supported browsers to automatically communicate your opt-out preference.
Within your PKUP Account, you may log in and navigate to Privacy Settings > Advertising Preferences to manage personalized advertising from PKUP. Toggle "Personalized Ads" off to opt out of PKUP's interest-based advertising. For email marketing, you may click "Unsubscribe" in any marketing email, reply "STOP" to marketing SMS messages, or manage preferences in your Account notification settings.
Please note that opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will stop seeing ads from us. You will continue to see generic ads that are not based on your specific interests or activities. Your opt-out preferences are specific to each device and browser, so you must repeat this process on each device and browser you use.
