VI. COOKIES, RELATED TECHNOLOGIES AND ADVERTISING ON THIRD PARTY PLATFORMS

Cookies

Grab, and third parties with whom we partner, may use cookies, web beacons, tags, scripts, local shared objects such as HTML5, advertising identifiers and similar technologies (such as software development kits (SDKs), which have similar functions to cookies and which may be installed in the Grab App to allow partners to collect certain information about your interaction with the Grab App) (collectively, “Cookies”) in connection with your use of the Websites and Apps, which may be persistent or stored only during an individual session on your browsers or devices. 

Cookies may have unique identifiers, and reside, among other places, on your computer or mobile device, in emails we send to you, and on our web pages. Cookies may be used for various purposes such as to:

  • delivering and measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, such as by measuring number of views or clickthroughs;

Disabling the display of Targeted Ads on other platforms  

We may facilitate the display of targeted advertising on other platforms, such as on other online platforms that you may be a user of. 

You may be able to limit our use of your Personal Data to display targeted advertisements on behalf of our advertisers, by adjusting your preference through our Grab App. Depending on the type of phone and operating software that you are using, you may be granted the option to disable our use of mobile identifiers (such as Apple’s IDFA or Google’s GAID) and the ability to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies by adjusting the settings available on your mobile devices. Through adjusting the settings on your device, you can typically reset, delete, limit and/or otherwise restrict the use of such mobile identifiers.

Although we will not use your Personal Data to show you such targeted advertisements on other platforms, you may still see generic ads that appear relevant to you.

If you are given the option to share your Personal Data with us and you choose not to, or subsequently withdraw your consent for our use of it,  this could mean that we are unable to perform the actions necessary to achieve the purposes of processing described in Section II (Use of Personal Data) or that you are unable to make use of App or the Services in such circumstances. We may be able to continue to process your Personal Data to the extent required or otherwise permitted by applicable laws and regulations.

ADDENDUM 1: GRAB FOR BUSINESS

I. INTERPRETATION

All capitalised terms but undefined terms used herein shall bear the same meaning as those defined in the Terms of Use and Grab’s Privacy Notice

This Addendum forms part of the Grab Privacy Notice. In the event of any inconsistency between the Grab Privacy Notice and this Addendum, this Addendum shall prevail.

II. GRAB’S RELATIONSHIP WITH USERS AND CLIENTS

How Grab for Business works

Grab for Business is provided as an add-on feature for organisations (“Client”) to facilitate corporate billing for itsAuthorised Users’ (e.g. employees) use of Grab’s Services in the course of work.

When a Client chooses to utilise Grab for Business, the Authorised User is given the option of tagging his/her rides or other transactions to the Client or to tag it as a personal ride. As part of this feature, Grab will disclose detailed trip and booking information that Authorised Users have tagged as being for business purposes to the Client. Apart from this, Grab does not disclose other Personal Data of Authorised Users to the Client.

Alternatively, an individual user may choose to set up a business profile within the App to facilitate the tagging of business-related rides and to generate consolidated trip reports to facilitate the submission of claims from his or her employer. When used in this mode, the claims process is user-driven and the user’s employer need not be a Client.

For ease of reference, Authorised Users and individual users will each be referred to as a “User” and collectively as “Users” in this Addendum.

Grab is a data controller, so are our Clients

In respect of any User and the processing of their Personal Data , Grab acts as a data controller. For further information on how Grab collects, uses and discloses Users’ Personal Data, please refer to the Grab Privacy Notice.

Due to the way Grab for Business works, Grab does not process any Personal Data for and on behalf of the Client. Accordingly, Grab is not the data processor of the Client, but an independent data controller in respect of all Personal Data that it processes in the course of providing the Grab for Business feature. Likewise, the Client is an independent data controller of the Personal Datathat it discloses to and/or receives from Grab.

As independent controllers, Grab and the Client individually determine the purposes and means of processing Personal Data, subject to the provisions set out in the Terms of Use and this Privacy Notice. Grab and the Client are also individually responsible to ensure the protection of Personal Data under their charge.

III. WHAT PERSONAL DATA IS COLLECTED, PROCESSED AND DISCLOSED

  • authenticating the User;
  • where applicable, linking the Authorised User’s account with the Client’s Grab for Business account or tracking the Authorised User’s business profile bookings on the Apps, as the case may be;
  • where applicable, verifying the Corporate Billing status of such Authorised User from time to time; and
  • contacting the User in accordance with the purposes set out in the Grab Privacy Notice.

Upon onboarding aUser to the App, Grab will process the Personal Data of the User in accordance with the Grab Privacy Notice and this Addendum.
