An Authorised User is referred to in the GOAIRA Privacy Policy as a passenger. As part of this feature, GOAIRA will disclose detailed trip and booking information that Authorised Users have tagged as being for business purposes to the Client. Apart from this, GOAIRA does not disclose other Individual Data of its Authorised Users to the Client. Alternatively, an individual user may choose to set up a business profile within the App to facilitate the tagging of business-related rides and to generate consolidated trip reports to facilitate the submission of claims from his or her employer.

Due to the way our Business works, we does not process any Individual Data for and on behalf of the Client. Accordingly, GOAIRA is not the data processor of the Client, but an independent data controller in respect of all Individual Data that it processes in the course of providing the GOAIRA for Business feature. Likewise, the Client is an independent data controller of the Individual Data (e.g. the Linking Data and Portal Data) that it discloses to and/or receives from GOAIRA. As independent controllers, GOAIRA and the Client individually determine the purposes and means of processing Individual Data, subject to the provisions set out in the Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy. GOAIRA and the Client are also individually responsible to ensure the protection of Individual Data under their charge. iii) WHAT INDIVIDUAL DATA IS COLLECTED, PROCESSED AND DISCLOSED We collect as a part of GOAIRA for Business in order to provide the GOAIRA for Business feature, the individual user or the Client will be required to provide the following information about the Authorised User to GOAIRA: • full name; • business email address; and • other identifying information about the authorised user as reasonably requested by GOAIRA. • GOAIRA will use this information for the purposes of authenticating the User; • where applicable, linking the Authorised User’s account with the Client’s GOAIRA for Business account or tracking the Authorised User’s business profile bookings on the Apps, as the case may be; • where applicable, verifying the Corporate Billing status of such Authorised User from time to time; and • contacting the User in accordance with the purposes set out in the GOAIRA Privacy Policy. • Upon onboarding such User to the App, GOAIRA will process the Individual Data of the User in accordance with the GOAIRA Privacy Policy and this postscript. iv) What GOAIRA discloses to its Clients We will disclose relevant trip and booking information as determined by GOAIRA from time to time to the Client to facilitate Corporate Billing. v) What GOAIRA discloses to its individual user Depending on the business profile settings selected by the individual user, the user may retrieve and generate reports containing his/her relevant trip and booking information. vi) PARTIES’ OBLIGATIONS The Client and GOAIRA shall each: individually inform their data subjects of how each processes Individual Data and allow their data subjects to exercise their rights under the local data protection/data privacy laws; comply with the obligations applicable to each party under the applicable data protection/data privacy laws when processing any Individual Data of the Proposed or Authorized Users; obtain the necessary consents (if applicable) to facilitate the provision of the GOAIRA for Business feature; and implement appropriate legal, technical and organizational measures to protect Individual Data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against unauthorized loss, destruction, damage, alteration, or disclosure, as well as any breach or attempted breach of each party’s security measures (“Information Security Incident”).
