Last Updated: June 27, 2025
Framilies Inc. d/b/a Crewz or Crewz Carpool or Crewz Rideshare (“Framilies”, “Crewz”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through compliance with this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”). This policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you access the Crewz website, mobile and web applications (each, an “Application”), content, products, and related services (collectively, the “Crewz Platform”) as well as our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. Your access to and use of the Crewz Platform is subject to the Crewz Terms of Use and the practices described in this Privacy Policy. Please make sure that you have carefully read and understand the Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy before you use our Services. Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy will have the meaning ascribed to them in the Terms of Use.
By using our Services, you accept the Terms of Use and the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not feel comfortable with the practices described in this policy or the terms set forth in the Terms of Use, you must not access or use the Crewz Platform. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of the Platform after we make such changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the policy periodically for updates.
A. THE DATA WE COLLECT
When you use our Services, we may collect data provided by you (e.g., data provided during the account creation process), created during the use of our Services (e.g., location, app usage and device data), or from other sources (e.g., other Users or account owners, business partners, vendors, insurance and financial solution providers and government authorities). The types of data we may collect include:
User Profile Information: When you establish an account, we collect certain data from you, which may include: your full name, email address, phone number, address, profile picture (photographs are optional), gender (optional), login name and password, billing and payment information (including payment verification information), emergency contact information (including such contact’s full name, phone number and relationship), information regarding participants, including, but not limited to, preferences, educational and organizational information, and previous service needs. Furthermore, consistent with legal requirements and to determine eligibility as a member, we may also collect government identification documents (which may include identification numbers and images, birth date, gender, signature, and/or social security number). Finally, we may collect vehicle and insurance information, User settings and evidence of health or fitness to provide Services.
Background Check Information: Consistent with legal requirements, the Terms of Use, and our safety practices, we may collect information required to facilitate background checks. This may include information such as driving history or criminal record, social security number, date of birth, license status, known aliases and prior addresses, prior employment verification, caregiving experience, child abuse and neglect scan, reference check(s) and right to work. This information is provided by the user but may be collected and processed by an authorized vendor on our behalf.
Demographic Data: We may collect demographic data about Users through surveys. You provide this information on a voluntary basis.
Communications: When you communicate with us through phone, email, text, chat, or otherwise, we may retain those communications. This includes date and time, as well as the content of text or in-app messages. Consistent with legal requirements, we may record communications between users and such communications may be recorded and stored by us or a third-party vendor.
Transaction Information: We collect transaction information related to the use of our Services, including the type of services requested or provided; trip or order details (such as date and time, requested pick-up and drop-off addresses and distance traveled); and payment transaction information (amount charged and payment method). We also associate a User’s name with anyone who uses their referral code.
Usage Data: We may collect data on how Users interact with our Services. This includes access dates and times, app features or pages viewed, IP address, Internet Service Provider (ISP), browser type, app crashes, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, clickstream data and other system activity.
Location-Based Information: We may collect location-based information through the Application and third-party software, including, but not limited to, geographic areas and other traffic and transportation-related data. Location information is only collected if the Application is running in the foreground.
Promotions and Contests: If you participate in a contest or giveaway with us, we may ask you for your email address, phone number, mailing address or additional information needed for the entry process, such as a prize selection choice. These contests and the information you provide are voluntary. We recommend that you read the rules for each contest that you enter.
User Feedback: To the extent you post information in comments in a publicly available area of our Services (e.g., feedback and reviews), it will be available publicly and other Users of the Services who may use it at their discretion.
Device Information: When you download the Application, we automatically collect data about the device you use to access the Services, including the hardware models, device IP address or other unique device identifiers, operating systems and versions, software, preferred languages, advertising identifiers, device motion data and mobile network data.
Cookies: Like many online services, we use cookies to collect information. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing the website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them). If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to accept Cookies from our Services for any of the purposes described above, then you can change your browser settings to stop accepting Cookies or to prompt you before accepting a Cookie from the websites you visit. Consult your browser’s technical information. If you do not accept Cookies, however, you may not be able to fully experience the personalized and interactive features of our Services.
Pixel Tags: In addition, we may use “Pixel Tags” (also referred to as clear Gifs, Web beacons, or Web bugs). Pixel Tags are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, that are used to track online movements of Web Users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a User’s computer hard drive, Pixel Tags are embedded invisibly in Web pages. Pixel Tags also allow us to send email messages in a format Users can read, and they tell us whether emails have been opened to ensure that we are sending only messages that are of interest to Users. We do not tie the information gathered by Pixel Tags to our Users’ personal information.
Collection of Information by Advertisers: Certain third parties may automatically collect information about your visits to this and other websites, your IP address, your ISP, the browser you use to visit our Services (but not your name, address, email address or telephone number). They do this by using Cookies or other technologies. This policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, Cookies or pixel tags in third party ads. We encourage you to check the privacy policies of advertisers and/or ad services to learn about their use of Cookies and other technologies. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices in having this information used by these companies, visit: http://www.aboutads.info/choices or http://www.networkadvertising.org.
Collection of Information by Advertisers: In addition to the tracking technologies we place, other companies may set their own cookies or similar tools when you visit our Site or Application. This includes third party analytics services, including, but not limited to Google Analytics (“Analytics Services”), which we engage to help analyze how Users use the Platform, as well as third parties that deliver content or offers. We may receive reports based on these parties’ use of these tools on an individual or aggregate basis. We use the information we get from Analytics Services to improve our Platform. The information generated by the Cookies or other technologies about your use of our Platform (the “Analytics Information”) is transmitted to the Analytics Services. The Analytics Services use Analytics Information to compile reports on User activity. The Analytics Services may also transfer information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process Analytics Information on their behalf. Each Analytics Services’ ability to use and share Analytics Information is restricted by such Analytics Services’ Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. By using our Site, Application and Services, you consent to the collection, use and processing of data about you by Analytics Services in the manner and for the purposes set out above. For a full list of Analytics Services, please contact us at support@crewz.co. We may also partner with ad companies to support our marketing efforts, including by serving you ads better tailored to your likely interests. If you don’t want to take advantage of these services, you may be able to opt-out by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/ or http://networkadvertising.org/choices/. Please note that even if you opt out, you may still receive advertisements from us. However, in that case, the advertising will not be tailored to your interests. We do not control any of the above opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs.
Contacts and Calendars: If you permit Crewz to access the address book and calendar on your device through the permission system used by your mobile platform, we may access for our Services and for other purposes described in this Privacy Policy or at the time of consent or collection.
