Northline Black Car

Privacy Policy

What a chauffeur booking involves collecting, what we do with it, who sees it and for how long. We collect what a trip needs, and nothing we have no use for.

Last updated

1. Who Is Responsible

Controller

Northline Transportation, Inc., doing business as Northline Black Car.

Response time for requests

30 days.

2. What We Collect

Booking details

Name, mobile, email, pickup and destination addresses, date and time, passenger count. To perform the trip; without it there is no booking.

Travel details

Airline, flight number, tail number, terminal and arrival status. For flight tracking where flight-status data is available, so the pickup can be timed to the flight’s arrival.

Preferences

Vehicle class, meeting preference, child seat, accessibility needs. To send the right vehicle and brief the chauffeur.

Enquiries through the contact form

Your name, email address and message, whether or not the enquiry becomes a booking. To answer you.

Payment information

Your card is entered on our payment provider’s secure form, online or, for bookings taken by phone, by dispatch into the same system. We do not store full card numbers. We hold transaction records, receipts and the last four digits of the card used, to charge for the trip and to answer billing questions.

Corporate travel data

Cost code, matter number, department and authorized booker, where an organization pays. For invoicing and cost allocation.

Trip records

Completed trips, times, waiting time and charges. For billing, disputes and the records tax and regulatory rules require.

Communications

Texts and emails with dispatch, and notes of calls. For service delivery and complaint handling.

Text messages

We use your mobile number for your bookings and trips: texts about them, one-time codes and replies to your messages, and we give it to the operator and chauffeur performing your trip (see Who It Is Shared With). Texts and WhatsApp messages are delivered for us by our messaging providers. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties. Reply STOP to (516) 930-5900 to stop texts, or HELP for help.

Vehicle data

We operate no dashcams or GPS telematics of our own. Where an operator’s vehicle carries either, it is theirs and governed by their policy.

Website data

We use no third-party analytics and this site sets no cookies of its own. See section 8.

Trip records can reveal travel schedules and personal destinations. We use and share this information only for the purposes described in this policy.

3. Where It Comes From

You

Directly, when booking by web, phone or text, or through the contact form.

Someone booking for you

An assistant, a colleague, a family member or a hotel concierge. We may hold your details without having heard from you.

Your employer

Where an organization pays: traveler details and cost codes.

Flight data

Public and commercial flight-status data matched to the flight number you gave us.

If you were booked by someone else, you can ask us what we hold about you in the same way as anyone else, at contact@northlineblackcar.com, and you do not need their permission to do so.

4. Who It Is Shared With

The operator performing your trip

Northline arranges trips that are performed by licensed operators. The operator receives only what is needed to perform the trip: the passenger’s name and mobile, the pickup and destination, the time, and the flight number if you gave one. Not your card details, not your email, and not your trip history.

The chauffeur on your trip

Name, mobile, addresses, flight details and preferences, to perform the trip. Chauffeurs do not have access to our customer records.

Our booking and dispatch system

Booking, trip and customer records are held in the booking and dispatch software we use, provided by a specialist vendor, under its security terms.

Our payment provider

Card and transaction data, on its own systems, to process payment.

Our website hosting and email services

Contact-form enquiries are stored on our hosting provider’s systems and delivered to us by our email service, to answer you.

Our messaging providers

Your mobile number and the texts and WhatsApp messages we exchange with you, to deliver them. Not for marketing.

Your employer

Where an organization pays, its invoice shows the date, route, traveler and cost code of each trip.

Regulators and law enforcement

Trip records where legally required: regulatory record-keeping, lawful requests and tax.

Advertisers or data brokers

Nothing. Trip data is not sold and is not shared for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. How Long It Is Kept

Trip and billing records

As long as tax and regulatory record-keeping rules require, and communications attached to a booking for the same period.

Traveler details and preferences

Kept with the trip records above.

Contact-form enquiries that do not become a booking

Kept only for as long as we need to answer you and to keep a record of the enquiry, then deleted.

Full card numbers

Not held by us. Held by our payment provider under its terms.

Marketing

Not applicable. We hold no marketing list.

6. Your Rights

Ask what we hold

contact@northlineblackcar.com, answered within 30 days.

Correct it

Same route. Address corrections are worth making; they affect where a car goes.

Delete it

Same route, subject to records we are legally required to retain.

Marketing

We send no marketing messages and hold no marketing list, so there is nothing to opt out of.

Text messages

Texts cover only your bookings and trips, one-time codes and replies to your messages. Reply STOP to (516) 930-5900 to stop them, START to start them again, or HELP for help. We send no marketing texts. Msg & data rates may apply.

Opt out of sale or sharing

Not applicable. We do not sell trip data or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

7. Security and Breaches

Customer records are held in systems that restrict access to the people who need it to run your trip. If a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you and the authorities as the New York SHIELD Act and other applicable rules require.

8. Cookies and Your Browser

This site sets no cookies of its own and uses no third-party analytics. Our hosting provider may set a security cookie to protect the site from abuse. The service-area map on the Areas page loads map images from OpenStreetMap, which receives your IP address when the map is shown. The contact form keeps what you type in your browser’s temporary storage while you complete it, so a page reload does not lose your message; it is not sent anywhere until you submit the form.

9. Bookings Made by Others

An assistant, employer or family member may book on your behalf. They receive the booking confirmation and, where they are the contact on the booking, the chauffeur details. Where an organization pays for your trip, it receives the invoice details described in section 4.

10. Changes to This Policy

If we make a material change, we will tell customers with an active booking or account by email before it takes effect.

Common Questions

Does the Chauffeur Keep My Address?

The chauffeur receives your trip details to perform the trip. Chauffeurs do not have access to our customer records; those are held by dispatch in our booking and dispatch system.

Do You Sell My Data?

No. Trip data is not sold and is not shared for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If My Employer Pays, What Does It See?

The invoice shows the date, route, traveler and cost code of each trip.

How Do I Ask What You Hold About Me?

Email contact@northlineblackcar.com. We answer within 30 days, and you can ask even if someone else made the booking.
