Collection of Personal Information: Purpose & Consent

OneBus only collects personal information it requires to provide transportation services.

Accordingly, OneBus relies on customers’ implied consent for the collection and use of that information as permitted by law.

OneBus collects information at the time of sale, including name, email address, physical address and telephone number, because it needs to know the identity of its customers, addresses for the provision of services, and contact information in case any change in the provision of services needs to be communicated.

OneBus does not collect any personal information in providing transportation services on behalf of municipal or regional governments.

Customers may seek to withdraw their consent to the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information by contacting the appropriate OneBus affiliate or the Privacy Officer. Subject to receiving such requests in a timely manner, and any overriding legal obligations, OneBus will take steps to accommodate such requests. Withdrawal of consent prior to the provision of transportation services will negatively affect OneBus’ s ability to provide those services and may result in services not being provided.

OneBus does not collect information, including personal information, from any social media platform on which it is active.
