These can be reducing the cost to you of providing services and by helping you to provide the services more safely. These can result in special deals we find for Riders, but also recommendations. Unsubscribing from these emails is always possible.


  1. Automating processes

In the Rider agreement a completed delivery is equal to picking up one or more ordered orders at one of our Store Dashboard Users and delivering these. The Rider fee is only paid out when completed delivery is done. To analyse this, we collect your data and automatically confirm which deliveries you are due fees for.

In the Rider App you can choose to unassign from a delivery at any time or by contacting Rider Support. In addition, you can simply reject offers of orders freely. When you do not complete a delivery, without informing Packaly, but still claiming the delivery fee, is seen as a fraudulent activity and a serious breach of your Rider agreement.

If fraudulent activity is detected on your Rider account, our systems will automatically disable your access to the Rider App. When we temporarily disable your access, then our team is allowed to review this suspected fraudulent activity, whilst preventing it from recurring fraudulent activities. During this review, a minimum of two team members will decide in person whether the access will be reactivated or if the decision is made to end the Rider agreement due to a serious breach of the contractual terms.

Given the volume of deliveries we deal with, we use partly automated systems to improve processes described above. These automations provide a more accurate, fair and efficient way of identifying suspected fraud, preventing repeated breaches of your Rider agreement and limitate the impact of these violations. Human checks would simply not always be possible in the timeframes and given the volumes of deliveries that we deal with.

You have the right to contest the automated decisions referred to in this section by using the contact details set out in this privacy policy, in which case a person will review the decision.
