Jamaica: new-feature policy supplement

Version JM-2026-10-07 ยท Added 7 October 2026 ยท Jamaica operations only

Legal-review notice: these rules distinguish platform policy from legal and carrier requirements. They are not an exhaustive statement of law, proof of regulatory approval or certification of compliance. The operator must obtain Jamaican legal review before relying on them as final contractual terms. Current law and non-excludable consumer rights take priority over inconsistent earlier wording.

Privacy, location and AI assistance

New-feature personal data and purposes

Ride-share uses pickup, stops, destinations, trip events, passenger and driver contact details, live location where enabled, chats, ratings, verification information and incident reports for matching, fulfilment, safety and disputes. Inter-parish records use sender and recipient details, hub information, parcel descriptions, tracking references and receipts for shipment administration and support. Submitted videos may contain identifiable people. Ad-event records may be used to measure impressions and clicks. Optional location permission or marketing consent must not authorise unrelated uses. Do not upload unnecessary identity documents, medical details or payment-card information into chats, videos or receipts.

Visibility, storage and third-party services

Relevant drivers, vendors, recipients, authorised operations/support staff and service providers receive information needed for the particular task, not unrestricted access to every record. Share-trip links can expose trip details to their holders. Storage depends on the feature: sponsor video and poster uploads currently use public URLs, while menu clips, shipment receipts and newly signed agreements use private storage with temporary access links where supported. Private storage does not prevent an authorised viewer copying content or guarantee every record is properly restricted. Maps, payment, location, hosting and third-party advertising services may process device, transaction or location-related information; enabling third-party advertising requires review of its data practices and any required notice or consent.

Jamaican data rights and operator obligations

The Data Protection Act, 2020 requires fair and lawful processing, specified purposes, minimisation, accuracy, necessary retention, respect for data-subject rights, appropriate security and lawful overseas transfers. A Jamaica-only service may still use overseas hosting or processors; assess transfer safeguards rather than assuming data stays in Jamaica. Ask through Support to access or correct personal data, object where the Act permits, stop direct marketing, or request deletion subject to lawful retention duties; complaints may also be raised with the Office of the Information Commissioner. Operators must establish and disclose category-specific retention periods, maintain processor arrangements, assess controller registration and data protection officer requirements, and handle breaches under applicable law. This supplement does not certify those operational steps as completed.

AI assistance and human decisions

AI-assisted operations may summarise records or suggest actions. Outputs can be incomplete or inaccurate and are not legal advice, evidence of eligibility, or a substitute for human review. Authorised administrators must check source records and permissions before confirming consequential actions such as suspensions, refunds, compliance decisions or shipment changes. Do not paste unrelated sensitive information into prompts. Offer human review of disputed consequential decisions and honour applicable rights relating to automated decisions.
