1. Identity and contact details of the Controller
The Controllers of your personal data are The MAXIM TECHNOLOGIES LLC ("MAXIM ORDER SERVICE"), AIST BRAZIL SOFTWARE LTDA. ("MAXIM BRASIL") or one of its Affiliates, herein jointly referred to as the Maxim. If after reading this Privacy Policy you still have any doubts, or for any reason you need to communicate with us regarding issues involving your personal data, you can go to our application "Menu > Help".
2. Processed data
Whenever you register and use the Application or Services, you provide (and the Maxim collects) statistical information about your use of the Services, aggregated data and personally identifiable data. This information is treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy and may be used in the situations and for the purposes described in Section 4 (Use and Sharing) set forth below.
This is because if you do not provide information that is essential to the operation of the Applications, you may not be able to fully use our Services.
Therefore, please note that Maxim may collect information about you, including information that can identify you, in a variety of circumstances, including:
When creating your registration and setting up your prepaid payment account;
When you access our website (taximaxim.com) or use the Maxim Services; e, While using Applications, as long as they remain active, in the foreground and background (when the application is open but not displayed on the device screen).
When signing up, you provide certain information, which may include your name, photograph, full address, zip code, phone number, e-mail, CPF number, CNH, RENAVAM, license plate and car model, gender, date of birth, ID, marital status, racial or ethnic origin, payment and bank account information, proof of residence, and official certificates. Other information may be collected and processed by the Maxim to meet legitimate interests or due to legal regulations that are applicable to it.
You must grant the Maxim permission to access your Contact List and photo gallery in order to use certain features of the Applications. This functionality is not required to use the Application or Services and may be enabled at your sole discretion, but such denial will prevent the sharing of promotional bonuses.
As you use the Maxim Applications and Services, additional information regarding you may be obtained by Maxim, such as your image, voice, geographic position, route, trip duration, IP address, browser used, SSID and signal strength of nearby wireless networks, cookie information, mobile device type and brand, mobile device identifiers, operating system version, installed applications, network information Internet connection provider used, device configuration, software data, usual boarding and alighting locations, itineraries, your evaluations of the Maxim's Services, financial data, financial transactions, the payment methods used and their amounts, communications made through the Maxim Applications, and communications made between you and the Maxim through our service channels.
In addition, when you are using the Maxim Applications and/or Services, we may obtain your Advertising Identifier (Permission for Tracking) used to identify the application download channel (GooglePlay, AppStore or others) so that you can take advantage of better services and offers.
Use of Location Data: The Maxim uses the location data from your device in order to provide the best service to you. This information is used to ensure maximum safety and comfort in your travel, deliveries, and other services. In addition, this data is very important for us to improve other aspects of the applications, such as identifying the location where the user will find the driver or delivery person, among others.
On your device, you can set your location data in three different ways: (i) Allow the app to access location all the time. In this mode we can collect location data all the time, without having to open the app. The data will be collected in the background, without notable interference with the device's data plan or battery. It is the most appropriate mode for us to provide the service more dynamically and to be able to improve our applications; (ii) Allow the app to access the location only during use. Data will only be collected when the application is open. This mode allows you to request rides and deliveries without having to enter the address, track the status of your trip or delivery, among other features; (iii) Deny access to location. Maxim will not be able to access your location data and, consequently, we will not be able to provide many features that rely on this information. For drivers, motorcycle taxi drivers and deliverers, it is imperative and indispensable that the location data are always enabled, since they are essential for the operation of the service.
Should you fail to provide any of the requested information, the Maxim cannot guarantee the quality and accuracy of the Maxim Applications and Services. If you fail to provide information essential to the operation of the Applications or the provision of the Services, Maxim may exclude you from the Maxim mobile applications immediately, including for ensuring the smooth and safe operation of the Applications and Services for other users.
The Maxim may also obtain information about you from public and private databases, business partners and other service providers when you link your Account with such providers ("Third Parties"), provided that such Third Parties have obtained the information in accordance with applicable law. This information may be associated with the other information the Maxim collects about you and may also be used in the situations and for the purposes described in Section 4 (Use and Sharing) below. Information provided by Third Parties to the Maxim is subject to the discipline established by such Third Parties and may be subject to their respective privacy policies.
3. Protection and Storage
The Maxim collects personal information about you, and for this reason, the security of your data is a priority.

The storage of this information on servers located outside the Brazilian territory is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and the Maxim Service (the Terms of Use). You understand and agree that other countries may have different levels of data protection than Brazil. Notwithstanding this, your information that may be stored in other countries will be subject to security measures at least equivalent to those described in the previous paragraph.
