Privacy Notice 

Effective: June 27th, 2024

At FYN and our family of companies (collectively "FYN" "we," "us" or "our"), we are strongly committed to transparency, and we want you ("you" or "your") to understand how we collect, use, share and protect your information. This Privacy Notice ("Privacy Notice") describes how FYN handles information in connection with FYN's websites (including its e-commerce shop), FYN-branded user-owned vehicles, FYN-owned vehicles and related mobile applications and services (collectively, the "Services"), and when you otherwise interact with us. When specified, this policy also describes our data practices related to Juicers. Please also read our User Agreement which sets out the terms governing the Services. 

We may change this privacy policy from time to time. In the event of material changes we will i) inform you about these changes in advance and ii) inform you of your right to object to these changes 

The Types of Information We Collect 

We collect or receive information in different ways. The types of information we collect or receive depends on how you use and interact with our Services. In many cases, you can choose the information you provide to us, although certain information (such as account information) is required for us to provide the Services and if it is not provided, we will not be able to provide the Services. We use and disclose this information for the purposes described further below. The types of information we collect include: 

Account Information such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth, gender, address details, and payment information such as your credit card details. In order to use certain products, we may also require you to provide photos of your government issued driver's license (front and back) or other government issued ID. 

We collect and process location data when you sign up and use the Services. For example, to accurately show you FYN vehicles near your location, it is necessary to collect and record the physical location of your device. Data such as the location of the vehicle, the routes taken by the moped, bike, scooter, or other vehicle and its rental status are also necessary to provide the Services. In the event you register your own vehicle on our Services, we collect location data to show you the location of your vehicle and to enable you to lock and unlock it. FYN also collects location data directly from FYN vehicles including when a FYN user is riding, such as journey information. 

When you use certain products (e.g. mopeds) that require a government-issued driver's license and the use of a helmet or other legally required protective gear, we will ask you (and your passenger, if applicable) to take a selfie which we collect, and we may collect images and/or video footage of your ride. By providing us images of your passenger or guest rider, you represent that you have authority from your passenger/rider to share such information with us. 

If you link, connect, or login to FYN with a third-party service (e.g. Facebook), the third-party service may send us information such as your profile information from that service. 

When you ask for customer service, support or other assistance, you can choose to provide us with your contact information so we can better respond to your requests and we may keep information about your engagement with our support services. 

FYN and third parties (such as Facebook) collect information from your browser, computer, or mobile device, which provide us with technical information such as your device's source IP address when you access or use the Services. We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like pixels and tags) to provide our Services, including to protect the security of the Service, remember your settings and to gather analytics information about you. Third parties may use the technical information to provide measurement services and targeted ads. 

We collect information you share on the Services such as when you participate in communities or other forums, or comment on our social media accounts or blog entries. Depending on your camera or photo settings, FYN will receive information you choose or obliged to send us (such as photos of parked FYN vehicles). 

We receive information about you when we use third-party partners such as marketing and advertising partners, such as social media networks.

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, except with your consent. 

Our Legal Basis for Using Your Information 

In Europe, we are required to specify the purposes for which we process your personal information and the legal bases which we rely on to do this. FYN relies on a number of legal bases to collect, use, share, and otherwise process your information for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, including where: 

it is necessary to provide the Services and perform our obligations in accordance with the User Agreement. For example, we cannot provide the Service unless we collect and process basic information about you and your location; 

you have provided your consent to us processing your information (in which case you may revoke your consent at any time); 

necessary to comply with a legal obligation, including, for example, responding to government agency or law enforcement information requests or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; 

to protect vital interests of our users, staff, and members of the public both on and off the Services; 

it is permitted by law, we may process data in the public interest; and / or 

the processing is necessary for the purposes of FYN's or a third party's legitimate interests, provided that we have balanced these against your fundamental rights and interests. 

How We Transfer Your Information 

As we offer our Services in many locations globally, we may transfer your information to or from these locations for the purposes of providing you Services. 

If you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area (" EEA"), Switzerland or the United Kingdom, we will transfer or transmit your information to the United States and other countries outside of where you live for storage, processing and the other purposes described in this Privacy Notice. Countries which are outside the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom may not offer the same level of data protection as in your home country, for example there is currently no adequacy decision in respect of the United States. Where the European Commission has recognized a country as providing an adequate level of data protection, FYN may rely on the Commission's adequacy decision, as applicable, to transfer data. 

FYN also relies on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission to transfer data from the EEA, Switzerland and the United Kingdom to the United States and other countries outside of where you live. You may request a copy of Standard Contractual Clauses by contacting us at fyn.mob.cy@gmail.com. 

In certain limited circumstances, we may use derogations, such as the contractual necessity derogation, where appropriate to process personal information, when there are no other data transfer mechanisms applicable. For example, where the transfer of information is necessary to provide our Services as set out in the User Agreement. 

How Long We Keep Information 

We keep your information for as long as is reasonably necessary to provide the Services to you or until your account is deleted, whichever is longer, subject to any longer period as may be required by applicable law or notified to you. Examples of some of our retention periods are set out below. 

Type of Data 

Retention Period 

Account information 

Lifetime of the account. Certain information relating to transactions relating to an account are retained for 7 years in line with FYN's accounting obligations. 

Government issued driver's license information and result of verification of whether selfie matches ID 

After we conduct verification checks to ensure the license is valid, we retain only limited verification information for fraud prevention purposes and in order for you to use the Services. When we use facial recognition technology to verify that your driver's license matches your image, we retain only information about whether the image matched. We retain this information for the lifetime of the account unless a different period is required by law in your jurisdiction. 

Customer support queries 

Lifetime of the account. 

When you delete your account, it may take us additional time to fully delete your information from our databases and system logs.
