Courier App Privacy Notice

How we handle courier personal data — and what we do not collect.

Effective 7 August 2026 · Applies to the Fin Delivery courier app (iOS and Android)

Suomi · English · Customer app notice

This notice explains what we collect about you as a courier, why, and for how long we keep it. Location data has its own section because it is the most sensitive part — read section 4 at minimum.

In short

We collect your location only while you are on shift and have granted permission. Outside a shift we do not collect your location at all — not less often, not less precisely, but not at all. When you end a shift, collection stops in the same action, not at the next measurement interval.

1. Controller

Fin Delivery Oy
Business ID 3584658-3
Nöykkiönlaaksontie 42, 02330 Espoo, Finland

Privacy matters: info@fin-delivery.com

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer. If we appoint one, we will update this section.

2. What this notice covers

This notice applies to the courier app and to working as a courier. If you order food as a customer, the customer app privacy notice applies instead — they are separate records and we do not combine them.

It does not cover what merchants or the payment provider do with data as controllers in their own right.

3. What we collect and why

CategoryExamplesWhy
Basic details Name, phone number, email, vehicle type Creating your account, contacting you, dispatching work
Shift data Shift start and end, accepted and declined offers, delivery status Running operations, calculating pay, resolving disputes
Location data Device location during a shift See section 4 — handled separately
Payout data Completed deliveries, distance travelled, payment transactions Paying you and meeting statutory accounting obligations
Device data Device model, OS version, app version, push token Diagnosing faults, delivering notifications
Support contacts Support messages and their content Providing support and monitoring its quality

We do not collect special categories of personal data (health, beliefs, trade union membership or similar) and we do not ask for them.

4. Location data — what we do and what we do not do

4.1 When location is collected

Your location is processed only when both conditions are true at the same time:

When you end a shift, location collection stops immediately as part of that same action. It does not quietly continue in the background, at a reduced rate, or at coarser precision.

4.2 Background location

While you are on shift, the app collects location also when the app is not on screen or the phone is locked. This is necessary because you are riding or driving and are not looking at your phone, yet the customer still needs to see the delivery progressing.

We ask for this permission separately and show you an explanation beforehand that you must accept. You may decline — you can still use the app, but you cannot go on shift.

You can withdraw location permission at any time in your device settings.

4.3 What location is used for

4.4 What we do not do

The legal basis for this limit

The EU Platform Work Directive (EU) 2024/2831, Article 7 prohibits a platform from processing data on a person's private conversations and behaviour while they are not performing or offering to perform platform work. The prohibition is absolute — a courier's consent does not make it lawful. The deadline for national transposition is 2 December 2026. We have built the system to this standard now rather than fixing it as the deadline approaches.

4.5 How long location data is kept

Individual location points are kept for 90 days and then deleted. After that, only an aggregated distance remains on the payout record, not the route as points.

This period is longer than on the customer side because a dispute over pay or a suspicion of fraud typically surfaces after the delivery, not during it.

5. Legal bases for processing

ProcessingLegal basis (GDPR)
Maintaining your account, dispatching work, paying you6(1)(b) — performance of a contract
Processing location during a shift6(1)(b) — necessary to provide the service
Accounting and tax records6(1)(c) — legal obligation
Fraud prevention and platform safety6(1)(f) — legitimate interest
Optional messages and marketing6(1)(a) — consent, which you may withdraw

The device location permission is a different thing from the legal basis above: the permission is the technical precondition for the operating system to let the app read location, and you can withdraw it at any time.

6. Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with advertising networks.

7. Transfers outside the EU/EEA

Your location and shift data are held inside the EU, in Amazon Web Services' Stockholm region (eu-north-1). No transfer outside the EU takes place for this data.

The push token and technical data needed to deliver a notification are processed by Expo and, depending on your device, Apple or Google. Where this involves a transfer outside the European Economic Area, the transfer relies on a European Commission adequacy decision or the Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

Stripe, through which your fees are paid, is a US company. For it, any transfer relies either on a European Commission adequacy decision (EU–US Data Privacy Framework) or on the Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

8. Retention periods

DataRetention
Location points90 days, then deleted
Aggregated distance on the payout recordPer accounting retention
Shift and delivery historyFor the duration of the courier relationship and afterwards for the period accounting law requires
Accounting records and vouchersUnder the Finnish Accounting Act (1336/1997): vouchers 6 years, accounting books and financial statements 10 years
Support messages2 years
Basic details and accountFor the duration of the courier relationship, see section 10

We cannot delete data that accounting law requires us to keep before that period expires. Such records are pseudonymised when your account is deleted.

9. Automated decision-making and algorithms

Offers are dispatched by systematic rules that take into account, among other things, distance to the pickup point, vehicle type, and whether you are already on a delivery.

The Platform Work Directive (EU) 2024/2831 gives you the right to know on what grounds automated systems affect your work, and the right to human review of significant decisions. If and when we introduce automated decisions that affect your pay, the volume of work offered to you, or your access to your account, we will explain the grounds and provide a route to human review.

We do not profile you on the basis of your private life.

10. Deleting your account

You can request deletion of your account and associated personal data by email to info@fin-delivery.com. New accounts are not created in the courier app; Fin Delivery or its contracting partner provides login credentials after approved onboarding.

Once requested, the account is locked immediately and you can no longer accept work. Personal data — profile, contact details, location history, push tokens — is deleted after 30 days. You can cancel the request within that period.

After deletion, what remains is only the vouchers and payment transactions that accounting law requires, with identifying details replaced by a pseudonym.

We cannot process a deletion request while you have a delivery in progress or an unresolved payment dispute. We will tell you clearly if that is the case.

11. Your rights

We respond to requests within one month. If a request is unusually broad, we will tell you about the extension.

12. Security

Connections between the app and our servers are encrypted. Access to location data is limited to people who need it for their work, and access is logged. We do not store passwords in plain text.

If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights, we will notify you and the supervisory authority within the time the law requires.

13. Changes to this notice

If we change this notice materially — in particular what happens to location data — we will tell you in the app before the change takes effect. Previous versions are available on request.
