The protection of your personal data is a top priority for us. In the collection, processing, and use of your information, we strictly adhere to the provisions and legal foundations of the **Albanian Law on Protection of Personal Data** (Law No. 9887) and the **General Data Protection Regulation** (GDPR). By using our website and taxi services, you consent to the collection of certain data as described below.

As a user of the website www.taxi24.al, you can generally access our content without providing any personal data. However, if you wish to use specific services (such as our booking estimator, contact forms, or 24/7 dispatch), the processing of personal data becomes a technical necessity to fulfill your request.

At all times, we handle your data (such as name, pickup address, GPS coordinates, and phone number) in compliance with the highest security standards. This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you about the nature, scope, and purpose of the data we process, as well as your rights as a user.

While we implement numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of data processed through this website, internet-based data transmissions can fundamentally have security gaps. For this reason, every user is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by calling our 0800 Freecall number.

To understand the terminology used (such as “Controller,” “Processing,” or “Third Party”), we refer you to the definitions provided in Article 4 of the GDPR and the Albanian Law No. 9887 regarding the protection of personal data.
