BusCaro — Commute made easier.

Privacy Policy

Last updated

This policy explains what personal data we collect through buscaro.pk, why we collect it, how long we keep it and the choices you have. "BusCaro", "we" and "us" mean the operator of this website. "You" means the person using it.

Who we are

BusCaro is a mobility company that provides daily commute services to organisations in Pakistan. This website describes those services, publishes articles and lets organisations send us an enquiry.

Data we collect

Data you give us

  • Enquiry details. When you send the contact form: your name, contact number, email address, organisation, city of service and anything you write in the message.
  • Account details. When you create an account: a username, your email address and a password. The password is stored only as a salted hash; we cannot read it.

Data collected automatically

  • Technical data. The IP address a request comes from and the browser type, kept in server logs and in the record of your login sessions.
  • Security data. Failed login attempts, recorded so that repeated guessing can be blocked.

We do not run third-party advertising or analytics scripts on this website, and no fonts, scripts or images are loaded from other companies' servers.

Cookies

  • Session cookie. One cookie keeps you logged in. It is essential to the account feature and is removed when you log out.
  • Theme preference. Your choice of light or dark mode is saved in your browser's local storage.

No cookie is used for advertising or for tracking you across other websites.

How we use your data

  • To answer your enquiry and prepare a proposal for your organisation
  • To create and secure your account
  • To send the emails you asked for, such as account activation and password reset
  • To keep the website secure and to investigate misuse
  • To meet legal obligations

When we share data

We do not sell personal data. We share it only:

  • With service providers who host the website and deliver email on our behalf, under obligations of confidentiality
  • In a business transfer, if the business or its assets are merged or acquired
  • When the law requires it, in response to a valid request from a public authority
  • With your consent, for any other purpose

How long we keep it

Enquiries are kept for as long as they are needed to respond and to maintain a record of the conversation. Account data is kept while the account exists. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security purposes.

Where data is processed

The website runs on a global cloud network, so your data may be processed on servers outside Pakistan. We take reasonable steps to make sure it is handled securely wherever it is processed.

Security

Passwords are hashed, login tokens are stored only as hashes, sessions use secure cookies and every form submission is checked for its origin. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

  • You can change your username, email address and password from your account page at any time.
  • You can ask us to delete your account and your enquiry history.
  • You can ask what data we hold about you and ask us to correct it.

To make any of these requests, use the contact form.

Children

This website is intended for organisations and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

Our pages link to other websites, such as news articles about BusCaro. We are not responsible for the content or the privacy practices of those websites.
