Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 26, 2026

Drive Abroad ("we", "us") teaches a driver the rules that change when they cross a border. This policy says what the app keeps, what reaches our server, and how you remove it.

1. What Information Do We Collect?

While using the App, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to your name, email address, company name, mailing address, and phone number ("Personal Information"). The Personal Information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the App, the choices you make and the products and features you use.

We also collect User Data, which is non-identifiable data collected automatically, generated by the use of the App ("User Data").

You have no legal obligation to provide us with any information or data, however some or all of the Drive Abroad features or services may not be available should such information or data not be collected, processed or used.

2. How Do We Collect Personal Information About You?

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when expressing an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, when participating in activities on the App or otherwise contacting us.

Credentials: We collect passwords, password hints, and similar security information used for authentication and account access.

Payment Data: All payments are processed by the App Store or Google Play and we have no access to your payment account or card details.

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the App. This information does not reveal your specific identity but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, and other technical information.

3. How We May Use Your Personal Information?

We use Personal Information collected via our App for a variety of business purposes. We process your Personal Information for these purposes in reliance on our legitimate business interests, in order to enter into or perform a contract with you, with your consent, and/or for compliance with our legal obligations.

We use the Personal Information we collect or receive to facilitate account creation and logon process, facilitate your use of the App, send marketing and promotional communications, send administrative information, fulfill and manage your orders, manage user accounts, deliver services, respond to user inquiries, and for other business purposes such as data analysis and improving our App.

4. Will Your Personal Information Be Shared With Anyone?

We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We may process or share data based on: Consent, Legitimate Interests, Performance of a Contract, Legal Obligations, and Vital Interests.

We may share your Personal Information with third party vendors, service providers, contractors or agents — including analytics providers and third-party artificial-intelligence providers that process content to deliver app features — who perform services for us. Any such third party is required to provide the same or equal protection of your data as stated in this policy. We may also share or transfer your information in connection with business transfers.

5. Do We Use Cookies And Other Tracking Technologies?

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information.

6. How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Information?

We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible, then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

7. How Do We Keep Your Personal Information Safe?

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any Personal Information we process. However, we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Transmission of Personal Information to and from our App is at your own risk.

8. Cross-Border Transfer

Your Personal Information and User Data may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities. When we transfer Personal Information outside of the EEA, we always make sure to put in place appropriate and suitable safeguards.

9. Third Party Sites

The App may link you to third parties' content. This Privacy Policy does not address the privacy practices of any third parties. The inclusion of a link on the App does not imply our endorsement of the linked site.

10. Do We Collect Information From Minors?

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 13 years of age. By using the App, you represent that you are at least 13 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor.

11. What Are Your Privacy Rights?

In some jurisdictions, you may have certain rights under applicable data protection laws including the right to request access and obtain a copy of your Personal Information, to request rectification or erasure, to restrict processing, and if applicable, to data portability.

If you are resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your Personal Information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority.

12. How To Delete Your Data or Revoke Consent

You can withdraw consent and request deletion of your data at any time. Where the App provides in-app controls, you can clear your content or delete your account from the App's settings. You can also email us at inquiries@zaatar.tech to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your Personal Information, or to revoke a consent you previously gave.

We will action verified requests within the timeframe required by applicable law. Note that we may need to retain certain information where the law requires or permits it.

13. Do California Residents Have Specific Privacy Rights?

Yes. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes.

14. Do We Make Updates To This Policy?

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated revised date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible.

15. How Can You Contact Us About This Policy?

If you have questions or comments about this policy, you may email us at inquiries@zaatar.tech.

16. A Device, Not an Account

There is no sign-in. When the app first opens it creates a random identifier for this installation and our server uses it to tell your courses apart from other people's. The app also sends the identifier Apple gives our apps on your device (the vendor identifier) with its requests and usage events. Neither is your name, your email or your Apple ID, and neither is shared with anyone. Deleting the app deletes the installation identifier; a reinstall starts with a new one.

17. Your Home Country, Your Courses

The app keeps the country you picked at onboarding, your courses and your progress on your phone. When you build a course, the two country codes go to our server, which returns the course; when the server cannot be reached, the app builds the course on the phone from the same rule table. The server keeps, under your installation's identifier, which courses you opened, which lessons you marked read and your quiz scores. Nothing else about you is stored.

18. Photos of Your Licence

If you choose to, you can photograph your driving licence and International Driving Permit with the camera or pick the pictures from your photo library. The app copies them into its own folder on your phone and shows them back to you; they are never uploaded, never sent to our server, never seen by us, and not included in analytics. You can remove them in the app at any time, and deleting the app deletes them. A photo is a copy for your reference and does not replace the licence itself.

19. How Lessons Are Written

The rule table behind every course is ours, compiled from official sources and dated. The paragraph that explains each difference is written once per country pair by an AI model (OpenAI) from that table, checked against it, and cached for everyone who asks for the same pair; until it is, or when our server cannot be reached, each lesson is a fixed template filled from the table. Your installation's identifier and anything about you never reach the model.

20. Deleting Your Data

Deleting the app removes the profile, the courses and the identifier from your phone. To have the server's copy of your courses and progress removed, email inquiries@zaatar.tech from the Support page; because the identifier is random, tell us roughly when you installed the app and which courses you built, and we remove them within 30 days.

21. Where the Data Lives

Drive Abroad's API runs in Frankfurt, Germany, its database is a MongoDB Atlas cluster, and everything travels over HTTPS.
