RIDELOCAL PRIVACY POLICY

Louisiana and Texas Launch

Version 0.3 | Revised July 19, 2026 | Published July 19, 2026 | Effective July 19, 2026

RideLocal Inc. | 7077 Jewella Avenue, Shreveport, Louisiana 71108

RideLocal Privacy Policy

1. Scope and Who We Are

This Privacy Policy explains how RideLocal Inc. (“RideLocal,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects personal data when individuals use our websites, applications, account tools, communications, vehicle marketplace, payment and booking features, support, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). It applies to Guests, Hosts, Approved Drivers, co-hosts, applicants, website visitors, and other individuals whose personal data we process. It does not govern an independent third party’s practices, including an insurer, Host, payment processor, identity-verification provider, or linked website, when that party acts under its own privacy notice.

RideLocal is the controller of personal data for the purposes described here except when we process information solely on behalf of another party. RideLocal Inc. may be contacted at 7077 Jewella Avenue, Shreveport, Louisiana 71108, Attn: Privacy; by email at midsouthacceptancecorp@gmail.com; or by telephone at (318) 687-9500. Privacy requests may also be submitted through the Privacy Request form provided in the Services.

2. Personal Data We Collect

The information collected depends on the person’s role and activity. We may collect the following categories:

RideLocal; vendors

We generally do not need Social Security numbers from Guests. We may collect taxpayer identification information from Hosts when legally required, using restricted access and appropriate providers. Please do not place sensitive information in public listings, reviews, or ordinary messages.

3. Sensitive Data and Location; No Face Matching

Driver’s license information, precise geolocation, financial credentials, and insurance records may be considered sensitive or specially regulated. RideLocal processes sensitive data only when reasonably necessary for the Services, safety, fraud prevention, claims, legal compliance, or another disclosed purpose, and with consent where law requires.

Trip location may be collected from check-in/out, delivery, roadside, telematics, recovery, fraud, or safety tools. Precise location will be limited to the period and purpose disclosed in the app, except records may be retained for a claim, safety event, legal obligation, or dispute. Hosts must disclose lawful vehicle tracking and may not use hidden cameras or prohibited surveillance.

RideLocal does not use facial recognition, face matching, voiceprints, fingerprints, retina or iris scans, face geometry templates, or other biometric identifiers to identify users. RideLocal may collect ordinary profile, license, vehicle-condition, and incident photographs, but does not extract biometric templates from them. If RideLocal proposes biometric identification in the future, it will update its practices only after legal review, advance notice, separate consent where required, appropriate security, and a compliant destruction schedule.

4. How We Collect Data

directly from users, forms, uploads, messages, Trip activity, reviews and support interactions;

automatically from devices, cookies, security logs, app permissions, and vehicle or telematics integrations;

from Hosts, Guests, Approved Drivers, witnesses and other marketplace participants;

from payment, identity, license, motor-vehicle-record, insurance, coverage, fraud, analytics, support and claims providers; and

from public records, recall sources, government agencies, law enforcement, insurers and other lawful third parties.

5. Why We Use Personal Data

provide accounts, listings, search, booking, messaging, Trip Agreements, check-in/out, support, reviews and marketplace features;

qualify drivers, verify identity, license, insurance, vehicle authority, registration and recalls, and enforce age and eligibility rules;

process charges, authorization holds, refunds, payouts, taxes, tolls, tickets and accounting records;

issue or facilitate third-party insurance or protection when selected, verify coverage, administer roadside support, and investigate and resolve incidents and claims;

protect users, vehicles and the Services; detect fraud, theft, abuse, prohibited use, security threats and policy violations;

communicate about requests, approvals, Trips, payments, coverage, safety, support and policy changes;

operate, troubleshoot, analyze, secure and improve the Services, including measuring feature performance and service quality;

comply with laws, lawful process, insurance and car-sharing requirements, tax obligations, recordkeeping, audits and enforcement; and

establish, exercise or defend legal rights and complete a merger, financing, reorganization or business transfer subject to appropriate protections.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on performance of a contract, compliance with law, legitimate interests that do not override individual rights, protection of vital interests, or consent. Consent may be withdrawn prospectively, but withdrawal does not affect prior lawful processing and may prevent use of a feature that requires the data.

6. How We Disclose Personal Data

We may disclose personal data to the following categories of recipients for the stated purposes:

Hosts and Guests. We share booking identity, profile, communications, Trip terms, verification status, and information reasonably necessary to approve and perform a Trip. Hosts should inspect the original license at handoff but ordinarily receive only RideLocal’s verification status—not a retained credential copy. We may share additional evidence when required for a claim, legal obligation, or safety matter.

Approved Drivers, co-hosts and authorized business personnel, according to account permissions and Trip roles.

Service providers and processors supporting cloud hosting, communications, identity/license verification, payments, fraud prevention, analytics, customer service, background or motor-vehicle checks, records, tax, security and document storage, subject to contractual restrictions.

Approved third-party insurers, producers, coverage or protection providers, roadside providers, claims administrators, appraisers, repair facilities and recovery vendors when a user requests coverage or a Trip, incident, claim or recovery requires it. Those parties may act under their own privacy notices.

Payment processors and financial institutions for charges, holds, payouts, refunds, chargebacks, fraud and compliance. RideLocal should not store complete card numbers if the processor provides tokenized processing.

Government agencies, courts, law enforcement, regulators, tax authorities, insurers and other parties when required or permitted by law, valid legal process, safety, fraud investigation or protection of rights.

Professional advisers, auditors, financing sources and transaction counterparties under confidentiality protections; and

Other persons at the user’s direction or with consent.

RideLocal does not sell personal data for money and does not process personal data for targeted advertising at launch. RideLocal will update this Policy and provide any required opt-out mechanism before beginning an activity treated as a sale, targeted advertising, or profiling producing a legal or similarly significant effect under applicable law.

7. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

RideLocal may use essential cookies and local storage for login, security, preferences, booking continuity and payment flow. We may use limited analytics to understand use, reliability and performance. If RideLocal deploys nonessential advertising or cross-context tracking technologies, it will provide legally required notice and preference controls before activation. Browser settings may block some technologies but can impair functionality. A browser “Do Not Track” signal is not uniformly defined; RideLocal will honor legally recognized universal opt-out signals when applicable to processing subject to such a requirement.

8. Automated Processing

RideLocal or its providers may use automated signals to detect fraud, assess identity or eligibility, prioritize support, rank search results, or flag transactions for review. RideLocal does not intend at launch to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects without human review where required. Users may contact RideLocal to contest an eligibility decision and request appropriate review, subject to fraud, security and legal limitations.

9. Retention

RideLocal uses the retention schedule below. A longer period applies only when reasonably necessary for an active claim, chargeback, tax audit, fraud or safety investigation, litigation hold, court order, insurance requirement, or another legal obligation. When retention expires, RideLocal will delete, deidentify, or securely destroy the data, subject to ordinary backup rotation. These periods are conservative business and compliance choices; not every category is legally required to be kept for the full stated period.

10. Security and Incident Response

RideLocal uses reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information, including access controls, encryption in transit and where appropriate at rest, logging, vendor controls, staff confidentiality, secure development, incident response and data minimization. No system is completely secure. Users should use unique passwords, protect devices, and promptly report suspected account compromise.

RideLocal will investigate suspected security incidents and provide notices to affected individuals, regulators or others as required by applicable law. Louisiana requires reasonable security and secure destruction and, when its standard is met, breach notice without unreasonable delay and generally no later than 60 days after discovery, subject to statutory exceptions and permitted delay.

11. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Subject to applicable law, verification, exceptions and RideLocal’s ability to authenticate the requester, an individual may request to:

confirm whether RideLocal processes personal data and access that data;

correct inaccuracies;

delete personal data provided by or obtained about the individual;

obtain a portable copy of qualifying data;

opt out of sale, targeted advertising, or qualifying profiling if RideLocal engages in those activities;

withdraw consent for consent-based processing; and

appeal RideLocal’s denial of a privacy request.

Submit a request through the Privacy Request form in the Services, email midsouthacceptancecorp@gmail.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line, call (318) 687-9500, or mail RideLocal Inc., Attn: Privacy Request, 7077 Jewella Avenue, Shreveport, Louisiana 71108. State the right requested and the account email or telephone number. RideLocal may request information reasonably necessary to authenticate the request and may deny a request that cannot be authenticated. An authorized agent must provide proof of authority, and RideLocal may verify directly with the individual.

RideLocal will respond within the period required by applicable law and explain any denial and appeal method. RideLocal will not discriminate against a person for exercising privacy rights, but some data is necessary to provide accounts, verify eligibility, process Trips, satisfy law, prevent fraud, resolve claims or maintain security. RideLocal may retain or withhold information where an exception applies, including another person’s privacy, legal privilege, security, fraud prevention, tax, insurance, claims, or legal obligations.

12. Communications Choices

Transactional messages concerning accounts, verification, requests, Trips, payments, coverage, safety, support and policy changes are necessary for the Services and cannot be disabled while the relevant account or Trip is active. Users may opt out of marketing email through the unsubscribe link and marketing texts by replying STOP, subject to confirmation and legally permitted nonmarketing communications. Carrier charges may apply.

13. Children

The Services are not directed to children, and RideLocal does not knowingly permit an individual under 21 to create a Guest or Host account. If RideLocal learns it collected personal data from a child contrary to law and without valid authorization, it will take reasonable steps to delete it. Contact RideLocal through the Privacy Request form to report a concern.

14. Third-Party Services and Insurance

Links, Apple or Google sign-in, payment services, approved third-party insurers or protection providers, vehicle manufacturers, telematics providers and other third parties may collect data under their own notices. Their products, coverage decisions and privacy practices are not controlled by this Policy when they act independently. RideLocal will present material provider notices during the relevant flow and must link each selected provider’s final privacy notice and governing coverage documents before launch.

15. Data Location and Transfers

RideLocal and its providers may process data in the United States and other locations where they operate. RideLocal will use legally required safeguards for cross-border transfers. The Louisiana and Texas launch should be configured to minimize unnecessary international transfer of license, biometric and precise-location data.

16. Changes to This Policy

RideLocal may update this Policy prospectively. The current version and effective date will be posted in the Services. RideLocal will provide additional notice and obtain consent when required for a material change. Earlier versions will be retained for the period reasonably needed to establish which notice applied.

Texas Supplemental Notice

Texas residents may have rights under Texas Business & Commerce Code Chapter 541, including rights to access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt out of sale, targeted advertising and certain profiling, subject to applicability and exceptions. RideLocal’s request and appeal procedures are described in Section 11. RideLocal does not sell personal data or use it for targeted advertising at launch.

Texas treats certain information, including precise geolocation and biometric data used for identification, as sensitive. RideLocal will obtain consent where required before processing sensitive data. RideLocal does not use face matching or other biometric identification. If that changes, RideLocal will first implement a separate notice and consent process satisfying Texas Business & Commerce Code Chapter 503.

Louisiana Supplemental Notice

RideLocal maintains reasonable security procedures appropriate to the nature of personal information and takes reasonable steps to securely destroy records no longer required. RideLocal will provide security-breach notices in accordance with Louisiana Revised Statutes 51:3071–3077. The Services’ car-sharing records and license information will be retained and disclosed as required by Louisiana Revised Statutes 22:1300.1–1300.13, including proper insurer requests supporting claim coverage investigations.
