- To provide customer support and resolve technical issues.

Background Location Usage in Vemzo Drivers
Why is background location required?
- To enable real-time tracking of deliveries and optimize driver routes.
- To provide accurate delivery status updates to merchants and customers.
- To improve operational efficiency and prevent fraudulent activity.
When is location tracking active?
- Only when the driver is online and available for deliveries.
- If a driver switches to “Offline” mode, location tracking stops, and they will not receive delivery requests.
How is this data used?
- Location data is strictly used for delivery tracking and optimization and is not shared with third parties except as necessary for core functionality (e.g., navigation services).
Can drivers control location access?
- Drivers can manage location permissions in their device settings. However, disabling background location tracking may prevent them from receiving and completing deliveries.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
I do not sell or share your personal data with third parties, except:
- When necessary to provide core services (e.g., location data for order tracking between merchants, drivers, and customers).
- When required by law or regulatory authorities.
