TELEPORT ("we", "us", "our") operates the TELEPORT mobile application and the teleportae.com website — a multimodal transport search platform that helps you find and compare taxi, metro, bus, train, flight, yacht, helicopter, cruise, ferry, rent-a-car and private jet options. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used and protected.
By using the TELEPORT app or website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We only collect data that is necessary to provide and improve the transport search service, and we do not sell your personal data.
Data Controller: Emil Musayev, an individual developer operating TELEPORT, based at Bala Dadashov St. 10, Apt. 25, Baku, Azerbaijan, is the controller responsible for your personal data under this Privacy Policy. Contact details in Section 16.
Depending on how you use TELEPORT, we may collect the following categories of information:
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Account data (once account creation is available) | Name, email, authentication identifiers | Provided by you, stored via our Supabase backend |
| Search & trip data | Origin/destination, dates, passenger count, selected transport mode, favorites, saved trips | Generated when you use the search and booking features |
| Location data | Approximate or precise device location | Device GPS, only if you enable Location in Settings |
| Preferences | Language, currency, notification & price-alert settings | Set by you in the app |
| Device & usage data | Device type, OS version, app version, crash logs | Collected automatically |
| Advertising data (not yet active) | Advertising identifier (IDFA/GAID), ad interaction and, if personalized ads are enabled, signals derived from location/search history | Collected only once the in-app advertising feature described in Section 6 is enabled, and only with any consent required at that time |
Providing account and search data is necessary to use TELEPORT's core search and booking features; without it, we cannot process your request. Optional data (location, notifications, price alerts) is only collected if you enable the corresponding setting, and declining it does not restrict access to the rest of the app.
Each use of your data is based on one of the following legal grounds:
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Search, compare and display transport options (taxi, metro, bus, train, flight, yacht, helicopter, cruise, ferry, rent-a-car, private jet) | Performance of a contract (providing the service you requested) |
| Saving favorites, trip history and preferences | Performance of a contract / your consent (Save Search History setting) |
| Location-based results | Consent (Location setting) |
| Push notifications and price alerts | Consent (opt-in in Settings) |
| Operating, securing and troubleshooting the service | Legitimate interest (keeping the service running and secure) |
| Improving search results and fixing bugs | Legitimate interest |
| Displaying advertising (see Section 6) | Consent or legitimate interest, depending on the ad format used |
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time via the relevant Settings toggle, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Location access is optional and controlled by the Location toggle in the app's Settings screen. When enabled, we use your location to pre-fill your starting point and show nearby transport options. You can disable location access at any time in Settings or in your device's system permissions, without losing access to the rest of the app.
TELEPORT aggregates publicly available and partner-provided transport data from third-party services, including but not limited to Uber, Careem, Yango, Hala and Duffel. We do not sell tickets or transport services directly — final bookings are completed with the respective provider, which has its own privacy policy governing the data you share with it at that stage.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party provider before completing a booking through their platform.
TELEPORT plans to introduce advertising placements within the app, including on in-app display screens ("monitors"). The exact advertising model is still under development. Depending on the final format, ads may be:
If we introduce personalized advertising, we will update this Privacy Policy in advance, request your consent where legally required (including an App Tracking Transparency prompt on iOS, if applicable), and offer a way to opt out of personalized ads in Settings. We do not currently sell personal data to advertisers, and any future ad partners will only receive the minimum data necessary to serve or measure ads.
This section will be revised with specific details (ad partners, data used, opt-out mechanism) once the advertising feature is finalized.
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share data only with:
Our backend and infrastructure providers may process and store data in countries other than your country of residence, including outside the UAE or the European Economic Area. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we take steps to ensure it remains protected consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law, such as relying on providers that offer appropriate contractual or certification-based safeguards.
We do not currently use your personal data to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you, and we do not perform automated profiling for that purpose. If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide information about the logic involved and your right to obtain human review.
Your data is stored on secured servers using industry-standard encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS). We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain account and trip data for as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide the service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time; we will delete or anonymize it unless we are required to retain it for legal or security purposes. Search history can already be cleared directly in the app via Settings → Clear Search History. Once account creation is introduced, we will provide the same self-service option for account deletion directly in the app.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 16.
The teleportae.com website uses essential cookies and local storage to remember your language and currency preferences. Beyond essential cookies, we do not currently use third-party advertising trackers; this will be revisited if and when in-app advertising (Section 6) is introduced. You can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings.
TELEPORT is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will remove it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the latest revision. Continued use of the app or website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
