PURP Driver — Privacy Policy

PURP CO (“PURP”, “we”, “us”) provides the PURP Driver mobile application on iOS and enterprise-managed Android devices (bundle/package ID com.purpco.driver). It is a business delivery and proof-of-delivery tool used by employees of retailers that operate on the PURP platform. This policy describes what the app collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. It applies to the app only; the purpco.com online store has its own privacy policy.

You use this app with a work account provisioned by your employer. For most information handled by the app, your employer (the business you work for) is the data controller and PURP processes the data on their behalf to run their delivery operations.

Location — prominent disclosure

While you use the app and grant While Using the App location access, PURP Driver uses precise device location for maps, navigation, route progress, and delivery confirmation. Navigation you start can continue receiving location while the app is in the background or the phone is locked, with the operating system’s location indicator or an Android navigation notification. This active navigation can use While Using permission and ends when you stop navigation. Separately, whole-shift background tracking requires your employer to enable it and you to grant Always on iOS or Allow all the time on Android. Whole-shift tracking stops when your shift ends or you sign out; stopping navigation or completing a route does not stop that separate tracking while you remain on shift. When whole-shift tracking is off, user-started navigation remains available without Always or Allow all the time permission.

Information the app collects

Work account and identity — your name, work email address, employer and store assignment, sign-in credentials, and (if your employer requires multi-factor sign-in) the phone number used for verification codes.
Precise location — as described in the prominent disclosure above.
Camera and photos — proof-of-delivery and verification photos you capture in the app. The app only processes images you take or attach yourself.
Delivery activity — routes, stops, timestamps, delivery outcomes, checklist responses, and notes you enter while working.
Device and diagnostics — device model and OS version, app version, network state, push-notification token, and crash/performance telemetry used to keep the app reliable.

What we do not do

No advertising and no third-party advertising SDKs.
We do not sell personal information.
No data is shared with third parties for their own marketing.

How information is used

Operating dispatch and deliveries: routing, tracking, proof of delivery, and return-to-store confirmation.
Delivery record-keeping: delivery evidence your employer needs to retain for operational and legal purposes.
Safety, security, and service integrity: authentication, device attestation, fraud and abuse prevention.
Support and troubleshooting, using diagnostics and crash reports.

Your employer — delivery activity, location during shifts, and proof-of-delivery records are visible to your employer’s authorized staff.
Service providers — infrastructure suppliers that host and run the platform on our behalf (including Google Cloud / Firebase for hosting, authentication, and push notifications, and mapping services for routing). They process data under contract and only as instructed.
Legal requirements — where disclosure is required by law or for your employer’s delivery record-keeping obligations.

Retention and security

Records are retained as long as needed for your employer’s operational and legal record-keeping obligations, then deleted or de-identified under the platform’s retention schedules. Data is encrypted in transit, access is scoped to your employer’s tenant, and administrative access is audited.

Your choices

You can control location, camera, and notification permissions in your device settings. Foreground location access supports maps and navigation while you use the app. Active navigation you start can continue while the phone is locked, until you stop navigation. If your employer requires current GPS to complete a delivery, PURP Driver checks for foreground location access and a current fix when you confirm completion. Background permission is required only under an employer-enabled whole-shift background policy.
For questions about your employment data, account changes, or deletion, contact your employer’s administrator — or contact us and we will route the request.
Depending on where you live (for example under Canada’s PIPEDA), you may have rights to access or correct your personal information. Contact us to exercise them.
