We may use photos submitted by users to verify their identity, such as through facial verification technologies. For more information, please see the section entitled “How We Use Personal Data”.

Background checks and identity verification (drivers and delivery drivers). This may include information such as driver history or criminal record (where permitted by law), license status, known aliases and previous addresses, and right to work. This information may be collected by an authorized vendor on behalf of buzzoffsxm.

We also verify the identity of passengers and delivery recipients who request alcohol delivery.

Demographics: We may collect demographic information about users, including through user surveys. In some countries, we may also receive demographic information about users from third parties.

In such cases, we allow users to change their gender if necessary through the application settings.

Location Data (riders and delivery recipients). We collect accurate or approximate location data from riders and delivery recipients to enable and improve the use of our apps, including improving pickups, facilitating deliveries, enabling security features and preventing and detecting fraud.
