2. COLLECTION & USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

2.1 What personal information about me does Mymech hold, and how it is collected

Registration process

If you register on the Website, or seek a quotation for services via the Website, you will be asked to complete an online form to submit information about you to us. Such information includes:

• your name, if an individual or your company name (as appropriate);
• your contact details, such as your telephone number, physical address and email address;
• your BRN number, if a company;
• in the case of Suppliers, information that allows us to process payment to us; and
• in the case of Suppliers, a brief summary of your business and other information we need from time to time to provide services to you.

We may also seek permission for our app’s collection and syncing of contact information from your device per the permission system used by your mobile operating system. If you initially permit the collection of this information, iOS users can later disable it by changing the contacts settings on your mobile device. The Android platform does not provide such a setting. If you do not provide us with the necessary information, you will not be able to use our services.

User submitted content

The Website allows you to post and submit content and when you do, we collect the information that you submit. If you post any content, pursuant to our terms and conditions of use, you authorise us to publish that content, to publish the name under which you submit the content and you indemnify us in respect of claims or losses resulting from our publication of that content.

Transaction Information:

We collect transaction details related to your use of our Services, including the type of service requested, date and time the service was provided, amount charged, service offered, and other related transaction details. Additionally, if someone uses your promo code, we may associate your name with that person.

Device Information:

We may collect information about your mobile device, including, for example, the hardware model, operating system and version, software and file names and versions, preferred language, unique device identifier, advertising identifiers, serial number, device motion information, and mobile network information.

Geo-Location Data

We may ask to track location-based information from your mobile device while downloading or using our mobile apps or services we provide, in order to tailor your experience. If you don't grant permission then we will not collect any location-based data.

Call and SMS Data:

Our Services facilitate communications between Users and mechanics. In connection with facilitating this service, we receive call data, including the date and time of the call or SMS message, the parties’ phone numbers, and the content of the SMS message.

Log Information:

When you interact with the Services, we collect server logs, which may include information like device IP address, access dates and times, app features or pages viewed, app crashes and other system activity, type of browser, and the third party site or service you were using before interacting with our Services.

Important Information About Platform Permissions

Most mobile platforms (iOS, Android, etc.) have defined certain types of device data that apps cannot access without your consent. And these platforms have different permission systems for obtaining your consent. The iOS platform will alert you the first time the Mymech app wants permission to access certain types of data and will let you consent (or not consent) to that request. Android devices will notify you of the permissions that the Mymech app seeks before you first use the app, and your use of the app constitutes your consent. Sometimes these permissions require more explanation than the platforms themselves provide, and the permissions we request will change over time.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT FROM OTHER SOURCES

We may also receive information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through our Services. For example:

• If you choose to link, create, or log in to your Mymech account with a payment provider (e.g., Google Wallet) or social media service (e.g., Facebook), or if you engage with a separate app or website that uses our API (or whose API we use), we may receive information about you or your connections from that site or app.
• When you request on demand services, mechanics may provide us with a User rating after providing services to you.
• If you also interact with our Services in another capacity, for instance as a Mechanic or user of other apps we provide, we may combine or associate that information with information we have collected from you in your capacity as a User or mechanic.

2.2 What does Mymech do with my personal information?
