4. The purpose and legitimate grounds for processing. One or more of the following purposes may apply simultaneously.

Purpose for processing:

We process your personal data in order to be able to pay remuneration to the courier partner and to fulfill our other obligations under the service agreement. In addition, we process your personal data in order to fulfill our obligations under other agreements and projects conducted between the courier partner and Wolt. 

(Legal basis: performance of contract)

We also process personal data of the courier partner to provide services to Wolt’s clients, e.g. in order to provide Wolt’s clients with the information necessary for the delivery of their orders. 

When performing services as a courier partner, Wolt needs permission to access location services through the permission system used by your mobile operating system or browser. We may collect the precise location of your device when the courier partner app is running in the foreground or background of your device. We may also collect route information when you conduct a delivery for Wolt and/or derive your approximate location from your IP address. You can enable the location tracking feature through the settings on your device or when prompted by your mobile app. If you choose to disable the location feature through the settings on your device, we will not receive precise location information from your device, which will prevent you from being able to go online and receive delivery tasks

(Legal basis: performance of contract)

In addition, we process personal data in order to communicate with you and to ensure compliance with the service agreement between you and Wolt. For example, we may process your location data if we have legitimate reason to do so for verifying your compliance with the service agreement. We also process your personal data to develop Wolt’s business.

(Legal basis: performance of contract)

We also process personal data to enable us to administer and fulfil our obligations under law. This includes data processed for complying with our bookkeeping obligations and providing information to relevant authorities such as tax authorities. 

(Legal basis: Legal obligations)

We may also process personal data in relation to claims handling, authority investigations, debt collection and legal processes. 

(Legal basis: Legitimate interest)

Wolt may process your including dropoff location collected during your performance of deliveries for solving customer complaints and responding to safety incidents that relate to a breach of the service agreement between you and us. We will not process such pickup and/or dropoff locations without weighing our own interests against your right to privacy and e.g. use pseudonymized or non-personally identifiable data when possible. Wolt may also process your personal data to ensure compliance with the service agreement between you and Wolt.

(Legal basis: Legitimate interest)

Wolt may also process information about your use of its services and applications (“Wolt Services”) to improve the quality of Wolt Services e.g. by analysing any trends in the use of the Wolt Services. When possible, Wolt will do this by using only aggregated, non-personally identifiable data. 

(Legal basis: Legitimate interest)

Automated decision-making

Wolt may use personal data to make automated decisions for matching available courier partners with the deliveries placed by clients.

Tasks are matched to the courier partner by finding routes which are valid (e.g. vehicle capabilities, age restrictions and chosen offline time) and which are the most optimal, in terms of least distance driven per task, and delivery time best within a predefined time range. A courier partner's personal attributes or past performance does not affect the delivery assignment.

The courier partners are anonymized in connection to the automated decision-making and the delivery assignments are based solely on the location of a courier partner and delivery destination locations, vehicle type, the courier's chosen offline time, and the capabilities of the courier and delivery. For example, if you have chosen a certain offline time, you will be excluded from the allocation during that time. Moreover, if the task concerns age restricted products, underaged courier partners will not be allocated such tasks.

The capabilities of the courier partner (vehicle size, age restriction, location details) are matched against those of the delivery destination to define valid assignments. 

The courier partner and delivery coordinates, as well as the courier partner's vehicle type, are used to calculate distances and time durations between the courier partner and delivery locations. We choose the courier partner and delivery assignment pairs which keep a city's overall driven distance and lateness from the delivery time frame as low as possible.

(Legal basis: Performance of contract and legitimate interest)

Legal grounds for processing:

We may process your personal data to fulfil our contractual obligations based on the service agreement between Wolt and you. We may also process your personal data based on our legitimate interest to run, maintain and develop business. When choosing to use your data on the basis of our legitimate interests, we weigh our own interests against your right to privacy and e.g. use pseudonymized or non-personally identifiable data when possible.

We also process your personal data to perform our legal obligations.
