Customer Privacy Policy
Our products and services for Mobli and others that link to this Privacy Policy provider modular components to deliver great user experiences, user accounts, wallets, rider rewards, payments, planning, booking and opitimisation services.
When you use these services, you’ll share some information with us. So we want to be upfront about the information we collect, how we use it, whom we share it with and the controls we give you to access, update and delete your information.
That’s why we’ve written this Privacy Policy. And it’s why we’ve tried to write it in a way that’s blissfully free of the legalese that often clouds these documents. Of course, if you still have questions about anything in our Privacy Policy, just contact us.
You should read our entire Privacy Policy, but when you only have a few minutes or want to remember something later on, you can always take a look at this summary – so you can review some of the basics in just a few minutes.
Some final notes before we dive in: we’re happy to report that we participate in the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks, which you can read more about here.
This policy is provided for your information and doesn't limit or exclude your rights under the Privacy Act 1993.

What personal information does Mobli collect?
We collect information relating to you that you have provided to us (through registration, completing forms, contacting us, or using our products and services) or that we may have obtained from another source (such as our suppliers, advertisers, transport operators, social media organisations or from marketing organisations).
This information may include your name, date of birth, address, telephone numbers, information on how you use our products and services (such as your transaction history, how much you spend, and browsing activity when visiting one of our channels), lifestyle information and any other information collected in relation to your use of our products and services.
This information about your use is analysed on a bulk basis for broad demographic content for reporting.
We may analyse your individual use to inform the personalisation of our services, including the development of non-attributable personas, which may be shared with third parties. Personas are developed based on pools of information from many people and are not able to be attributed to a single person.
If you use one of our apps or websites to complete an online form, or create an account or register a card, we will only collect the information you provide as part of that process if you complete and submit the application or registration to us. If you log out of our websites or cancel your application or registration before submitting it, the information you had entered will be automatically deleted.
When you use our services, we collect information about which of those services you’ve used and how you’ve used them. We might know, for instance, that you watched a particular piece of content, saw a specific ad for a certain period of time and purchased certain products. Frenzy’s fundamental principle is that you, the user, are in charge of your own data. If you don’t wish to share any information about yourself, you don’t have to. Our app, platform and services are opt-in. That means you have to decide to participate, not the other way around. If you do decide to share your data with us, you will receive a more personalised experience, and in some instances, be compensated for sharing that information.
Here’s a fuller explanation of the types of information we collect when you use our services:
Usage information. We collect information about your activity through our services. For example, we may collect information about:
how you interact with our services, such as which pieces of content you view, which links you click through to, or which search queries you submit.
how you use the transport system, such as the services you use, the time and date of your travel.
Content information
We collect content you provide on our services, such as survey responses and information about the content you provide, such as if the recipient has viewed the content and the metadata that is provided with the content.
Device information. We collect information from and about the devices you use. For example, we collect:
information about your hardware and software, such as the hardware model, operating system version, device memory, advertising identifiers, unique application identifiers, apps installed, unique device identifiers, browser type, language, battery level and time zone.
Information from device sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, compasses, microphones and headphone connection.
information about your wireless and mobile network connections, such as mobile phone number, service provider, IP address and signal strength.
Location Information
When you use our services, we may collect information about your location. With your permission, we may also collect information about your precise location using methods that include GPS, wireless networks, cell towers, Wi-Fi access points and other sensors, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers and compasses.
Content Detect
As part of our commitment to provide your users with the maximum value for their time, they have the option to turn on Content Detect, which detects whether you are watching the content being served to you. Content Detect works by us asking your phone throughout the time you are viewing content, whether you are actively watching the content or not. When we ask the phone, we get simply get a Yes or No response, and we record this response. We use this Yes / No response to let Content Providers know whether you are watching, to help them understand how their content is performing. This helps Content Providers improve their content in the future, as they will be able to understand things like the engagement of viewers and when viewers stop being engaged in the content. No person or machine, apart from your phone, has access to your camera. All processing of the camera feed is done using your phone. This means your data stays with you and doesn’t go to the cloud for processing or storage. We do not process or store any facial identification/detection data aside from the Yes / No response, to ensure maximum privacy to you. This feature is Opt-In, meaning you have to turn on in your settings on your app. You can opt-out at any time by going into the settings to turn off. You may be additionally rewarded (with Mobli Rewards or more personalised content) for having this feature on, but you will still be able to use the product and consume content if it is turned off.

We may also use these technologies to collect information when you interact with services we offer through one of our partners, such as advertising and commerce features. For example, we may use information collected on other websites to show you more relevant ads. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default.

How long we keep your information
Mobli puts you in control of your data.
On our end, that means any action you take in Mobli is opt-in, and if you don’t want to share that information, we will stop collecting that information. We will continue to store the information as long as you are an active user. After 12 months of inactivity, we will delete any personally identifiable information. Persona For detailed information about how long we store different types of content, check out our Support Site.
We store other information for longer periods of time. For example:
We store your basic account information – such as your name, phone number and email address until you ask us to delete them.
We store location information for different lengths of time based on how precise it is and which services you use. For example, if you use the journey planner saved locations, we store information about your favourite places so we can personalise and improve your experience.
We’re constantly collecting and updating information about the things you might like and dislike, so we can provide you with more relevant content and adverts.
If you ever decide to stop using Mobli Services, you can just ask us to delete your account through the app or through our Support Center. We’ll also delete most of the information we’ve collected about you after you’ve been inactive for 12 months – but don’t worry, we’ll try to contact you first!
Keep in mind that, while our systems are designed to carry out our deletion practices automatically, we cannot promise that deletion will occur within a specific timeframe. There may be legal requirements to store your data and we may need to suspend those deletion practises if we receive valid legal process asking us to preserve content, if we receive reports of abuse or other Terms of Service violations, or if your account or content created by you is flagged by our automated systems for abuse or other Terms of Service violations. Finally, we may also retain certain information in backup for a limited period of time or as required by law.
Control over your information
We want you to be in control of your information, so we provide you with the following tools.
Access, correction and portability.
You can access and edit most of your basic account information right in our apps. You can also use Download My Data to obtain a copy of the information that isn’t available in our apps in a portable format, so you can move it or store it wherever you want. Because your privacy is important to us, we will ask you to verify your identity or provide additional information before we let you access or update your personal information. We may also reject your request to access or update your personal information for a number of reasons, including, for example, if the request risks the privacy of other users or is unlawful.
Revoking permissions
In most cases, if you let us use your information, you can simply revoke your permission by changing the settings in the app or on your device if your device offers those options. Of course, if you do that, certain services may lose full functionality.
Deletion. While we hope you’ll remain a lifelong user, if for some reason you ever want to delete your account, just go here to learn how. You can also delete some information in the app, such as journeys you have taken, transaction history and your search history.
