RTL à la demande privacy policy

Effective Date: October 19th 2018
Last Updated Date: October 19th 2018

This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into the Terms of Use of RTL à la demande. The term “RTL,” “we,” and “us” designate the Réseau de transport de Longueuil.

The collection and processing of your personal information required for the use of RTL A LA DEMANDE are subject and comply with the Act respecting access to documents held by public bodies and the protection of personal information (RLRQ c. A-2.1) (the “Act”)

This Privacy Policy explains how we:

The “Service” means RTL À LA DEMANDE and any website, mobile application, or Internet service under RTL’s control, whether partial or otherwise, in connection with providing RTL à la demande’s online platform that connects users with vehicle-sharing transportation providers. Each reservation a user makes with such vehicle-sharing transportation providers on the Service is a “Reservation,” and each ride taken through a Reservation is a “Ride.” “Member” means any such individual who uses the Service to make Reservations and take Rides. “Driver” means any such partner of the Service who provides Rides to Members.

“Personal Information” means information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you, such as: name, address, email address, or phone number. We do not consider Personal Information to include information that has been anonymized so that it does not allow a third party to easily identify a specific individual.
