WASL is a digital freight marketplace that connects shippers with independent truck drivers in Iraq.

WASL is an Iraqi platform connecting cargo owners with verified truck drivers. This policy explains what data we collect when you use the WASL app or our website, how we use it, who we share it with, and what your rights are. It applies to the WASL mobile app and to wasliraq.com.

1. Data we collect

Account data. Full name, phone number, city, account type (shipper or driver), and a profile photo if you add one. A phone number is required because sign-in works through a verification code sent to it.

Verification documents (drivers). Driver identity documents, truck documents, and truck photos. These are held in private, non-public storage and are reachable only by WASL's review team through temporary signed links.

Marketplace data. Shipments you post, offers you make or receive, trips, cancellations, and trip problem reports.

Location data. We collect a driver's precise location during an active trip only:

  • Tracking starts when a trip begins and stops automatically when it is completed or cancelled.
  • Location is sent roughly every 30 seconds, or after 75 metres of movement.
  • It is shown to the cargo owner on that specific trip, so they can follow delivery progress.
  • Background location: we ask for a separate permission to keep updating location while the app is in the background or closed, because a driver cannot keep the app open while driving, and delivery tracking is the core feature the cargo owner relies on. This permission is optional: if you decline it, tracking continues only while the app is open and the rest of the app works normally.
  • We do not collect shippers' location, and we do not collect drivers' location outside active trips.

Photos. Shipment photos, delivery evidence photos, and wallet top-up receipt photos.

Push notifications. The notification token for your app installation, used to send offer and trip alerts.

Wallet data. Commission balance, top-up history, and referral records. We do not collect payment card numbers or bank account details; payment between shipper and driver is in cash and takes place outside the app.

2. What we do not collect

  • We use no advertising trackers and no third-party analytics SDKs in the app.
  • We do not sell or rent your data to anyone.
  • We do not use your data for advertising.

3. How we use data

  • Running the marketplace: posting shipments, matching offers, managing trips.
  • Verifying driver identity and approving trucks before offers can be made.
  • Showing trip progress to the cargo owner.
  • Sending operational notifications about your account and trips.
  • Support, dispute resolution, and preventing fraud and abuse.
  • Meeting accounting and legal requirements.

4. Who we share data with

Between users. A counterparty's phone number is revealed only after an offer is accepted and both parties are joined on a trip. Before that, users see only name, rating, and approval status.

Service providers. We use providers that process data on our behalf and only on our instructions:

  • A cloud infrastructure provider hosting our database, file storage, and sign-in service.
  • A provider that delivers verification codes by SMS, WhatsApp, or Telegram.
  • A push notification delivery service.

Authorities. Where there is a valid legal request, or to protect the rights of the platform and its users.

5. Retention and deletion

We keep your account data for as long as the account is active. You can request deletion of your account and data at any time; the account deletion page explains how to make the request, what is deleted, and what may be retained and why.

Completed shipment records and their associated transactions are retained after deletion, to meet accounting and legal requirements and to resolve potential disputes.

6. Data security

Data moves between the app and our servers over an encrypted connection. Documents and photos are held in private storage that cannot be reached by a public link, and access to each user's data is restricted at the database level. Administrative access is limited to authorised staff.

7. Minors

The service is intended for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone younger, and we delete such an account if we become aware of it.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the service or regulatory requirements change. The last-updated date appears at the top of the page, and we notify users in the app when a change is material.
