The original of this Notice is written in the English language. In the event of any conflict between the English and other language versions, the English version shall prevail.
All capitalised but undefined terms used shall bear the same meaning as those defined in the Terms of Use. This Addendum forms part of the Privacy Notice and prevails for Grab for Business services if there is any inconsistency.
Grab for Business allows organisations (“Client”) to manage and pay for work-related Grab Services used by their employees, guests or contractors (“Authorized Users”).
Authorized Users can tag their transactions as either “business” or “personal”. For business-tagged transactions, Grab discloses to Client information such as the Authorized User’s identifiers and detailed booking information to facilitate corporate billing.
Separately, individual users may also choose to set up a “business profile” even if their employer is not a Client. This lets them tag business-related transactions and organize consolidated reports to facilitate the manual claims submission to their employers.
Authorized Users and individual users are collectively referred to as “Users” in this Addendum.
Grab does not process any Personal Data for and on behalf of the Client. Regardless of who pays for the business-related expense, Grab independently determines how and why it processes the User’s Personal Data (e.g. for service fulfillment, safety, billing or analytics) in accordance with its own legal obligations and privacy practices, not on the instructions 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 under Grab for Business. Likewise, the Client is an independent data controller of the Personal Data that it discloses to and/or receives from Grab.
In order to provide the Grab for Business feature, the User or the Client will be required to provide the following information about the User to Grab:
Grab will use this information for the purposes of:
Upon onboarding a User to the App, Grab will process the Personal Data of the User in accordance with the Grab Privacy Notice and this Addendum.
Grab will disclose relevant trip and booking information as determined by Grab from time to time to the Client to facilitate corporate billing.
Depending on the business profile settings selected by the individual user, the user may retrieve and generate reports containing relevant trip and booking information.
As independent data controllers, Client and Grab shall each comply with their respective obligations under applicable data protection laws when processing Personal Data, including:
This Privacy Statement (“Statement”) describes how Grab collects, uses, processes and discloses data through use of GrabDefence and its related services (“GrabDefence”).
Grab provides its customers (“GD Customers”) with the GrabDefence service that helps to prevent, detect, and combat fraud or unsafe activities on their platforms and applications (such as web-based and mobile applications based e-commerce platforms) (“Digital Platforms”). GD Customers will integrate GrabDefence into their Digital Platforms to identify potentially fraudulent activities on their Digital Platforms.
This Statement applies to the users of GD Customers’ Digital Platforms (“you”), and strictly relates to the data collected, used and disclosed on behalf of GD Customers for the purposes of providing GrabDefence. Kindly refer to the applicable terms of service and/or privacy notices of the GD Customers to understand how they otherwise collect, use and disclose your data.
To provide GrabDefence to GD Customers, information from your device and information relating to your use of GD Customers’ Digital Platform will be collected from GD Customers. Such information include device identifier information (such as IMEI, Android ID, MAC address etc), device and hardware information (such as device name, screen size etc), account information (such as email address, phone number, etc) as well as other contextual data in relation to your use of GD Customers’ Digital Platforms (such as IP address, Wifi address, GPS location data, address, payment details etc). Such information is collected by GD Customers when you interact with GD Customers’ Digital platforms, in accordance with GD Customers’ terms of service and/or privacy notices.
We may combine the information we have collected from GD Customers with data points from Grab’s ecosystem to derive relevant insights (for example, insights on whether there are signs of app modification, data manipulation, device tampering, GPS spoofing). We do not attempt to personally identify you based on the information above in order to provide GrabDefence to GD Customers.
We generally process your information on behalf of GD Customers in order to assist with their fraud detection efforts. It is up to the GD Customers’ sole discretion to apply the outcome derived from the use of GrabDefence on their Digital Platforms.
In this regard, we may use, combine and process your information for the following purposes (“Purposes”):
Please be assured that the information collected will not be used by Grab for any marketing efforts or combined with any other datasets available to Grab in a manner that unfairly prejudices you.
We may need to share information with various parties for the Purposes. These parties include:
Save for the above mentioned parties, we will not disclose your information to any other third party.
In accordance with applicable privacy laws and to the extent that any information collected pursuant to the use of GrabDefence may constitute personal data, you may be entitled to access or update your personal data. Given that GrabDefence’s processing of your personal data is premised on GD Customers’ use of GrabDefence when you use their Digital Platforms, if you would like to exercise your rights, we recommend that you directly approach the operator of the Digital Platform you are using to obtain more information about how your information is used and processed, and to exercise your rights over your personal data.
We retain your information for as long as we have a business purpose (i.e. to provide GrabDefence, and to fulfil the Purposes) or legal purpose to do so. Once these purposes are satisfied, we take steps to destroy or anonymise your information.
Your information may be transferred from your current location while using GD Customers’ Digital Platforms to another jurisdiction.
We implement reasonable legal, physical, organisational and technical measures to ensure that your Personal Data is protected. This includes measures to prevent loss, unauthorized access or misuse of your information.. We limit access to your information to our employees on a need to know basis. Those processing your data will only do so in an authorised manner and are required to treat your information with confidentiality.
Nevertheless, please understand that the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your Personal Data during online transmission. By using our Services, you acknowledge that some risk remains with any data sent or transferred online.
Grab shall have the right to modify, update or amend the terms of this Statement at any time by placing the updated Statement on its website.
If you have any queries about how your data is being used, please reach out to the GD Customer with whom you may be registered as a user. If you have other queries relating to GrabDefence, please contact our Data Privacy Officer via the form set out in Grab’s Privacy Notice.
