1. Scope of the personal data protection policy
This Privacy policy applies to all processing of data collected through our website available at https://www.tl.fr.
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, hereinafter referred to as the "data subject"; this information is hereinafter referred to as "the Data".
2. The Data collected
Visiting our website does not necessarily require you to provide Data: you can consult our transport offer without providing any Data.
However, we ask you to provide certain Data when you wish to:
- contact TAXI TL through the contact form;
- book a taxi or a TL Partage shared ride through our website or our "customer" app (booking page);
- get a price estimate or an online quote;
- request a business quote (TL Pro, TL Events, TL VIP);
- create your personal area or log in to it, including with your Google account;
- pay for your ride online.
When you use one of the forms described above on our website, we may collect and process the following Data:
- data relating to your identity (surname, first name, e-mail address, telephone number, password of your personal area, stored in hashed form);
- data relating to your booking (pick-up and drop-off addresses, date and time, number of passengers, options requested, comment for the driver, amount and status of the payment);
- data relating to your location ("geolocate me" option if you activate it on the booking form);
- data from your Google account (surname, first name, e-mail address, identifier) if you choose to create your personal area or to log in to it with that account;
- data relating to your personal and/or professional life that you may choose to provide to us in your messages.
When you use our website, TAXI TL may therefore collect and process personal data in order to give you optimal access to the services offered by our website, in particular through each data entry form.
We endeavour to limit the collection and processing of Data. The Data collected is relevant, adequate, not excessive and strictly necessary to perform the requested transport service under good conditions.
What exactly is the data collected?
- Contact data: the mandatory data you enter when filling in the contact, quote and booking forms, namely: surname, first name, e-mail address, telephone number and, for a booking, the pick-up and drop-off addresses.
- Data you publish voluntarily: the personal information you voluntarily provide to TAXI TL by filling in the free text fields provided for this purpose, namely "Subject" and "Message" on the contact form and the comment for the driver on a booking. TAXI TL strongly recommends that you avoid providing any personal data in these text fields or, in any event, that you limit such information to what is strictly necessary to process your request. Should TAXI TL collect personal data in this way, TAXI TL would ensure that it uses only the data strictly necessary to process your request.
- Payment data: the details of your bank card or PayPal account, which you enter directly with our payment providers Stripe and PayPal. TAXI TL neither receives nor stores them: it only receives the confirmation and the amount of the payment.
- Browsing data: the data TAXI TL collects while you browse the website, mainly by means of cookies, such as the date and time of connection and/or browsing, the browser type, the browser language, the IP address and the session identifier.
All of this data is collectively referred to below as the "Data".
3. Purposes of the processing carried out by TL and legal basis of the processing
The Data collected by TAXI TL is used to:
- respond to your requests made through the contact form;
- send you an instant estimate or quote by e-mail;
- record your transport requests, pass them on to the booking centre and to the driver, and send you the confirmations and tracking information for your ride (e-mail, SMS);
- collect your online payment and generate your transport invoice;
- collect your feedback on the service, through our provider eKomi;
- secure the website, your personal area and payments, and prevent fraud;
- more generally, communicate with you, in particular when you contact us by any means.
Why does TAXI TL collect your Data?
The Data collected in connection with the use of our website is processed in order to meet, in particular, the following four purposes:
- managing and processing your requests;
- managing access to certain services and their use;
- compiling statistics and measuring the audience of the services we offer;
- sharing your Data between TAXI TL and the GTL Group, which operate the transport service together, in order to perform and follow up your booking.
When Data is collected, you are informed whether certain data must be provided or is optional. Data marked with an asterisk in the contact forms is mandatory. If the mandatory fields are not completed, your access to and use of the services may be restricted.
The use of the Contact data and of the Data you publish voluntarily is necessary for the performance of the contract concluded between you and TAXI TL. This is therefore the main legal basis for the Data processing carried out by TAXI TL. Indeed, in accordance with the General Terms of Use, TAXI TL offers you, as a user of the website, the opportunity to obtain information about the GTL Group, to ask questions, to make comments and, more generally, to exchange with TAXI TL about its activities.
You express your consent to contract by filling in the appropriate contact form(s) and by providing your contact details. TAXI TL performs the contract by responding to your request and by sending you the information by e-mail (or, where appropriate, by post). This contractual performance requires knowing your identity and being able to interact with you.
TAXI TL may also process certain Data on the basis of legitimate interest (in particular to ensure the security of its website) or on the basis of your express consent (where TAXI TL expressly states so on the contact form and obtains your consent through a tick box).
Consequently, the legal basis for this processing rests on your contractual relationship with TAXI TL or on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time by sending us an e-mail at the following address: commercial@tl.fr.
4. Data retention period
Personal Data is stored on controlled and secure servers in France with restricted access. This Data is archived for periods appropriate to the purpose of the processing.
As a guide: the data of your personal area is kept for as long as your account is active; booking and invoicing data is kept for the duration of the business relationship and then archived for the applicable statutory periods (ten years for accounting records); messages sent through the contact form are kept for as long as necessary to handle your request; the lifetime of cookies is specified in article 6.
By way of exception, certain Data may be kept for longer periods in order to handle complaints and disputes and to meet legal and/or regulatory obligations.
Certain Data may also be archived beyond the periods provided for the purposes of investigating, establishing and prosecuting criminal offences, in order to allow, where necessary, this Data to be made available to the judicial authorities or to defend ourselves in any legal proceedings. Your Data will be erased once the retention periods have expired.
TAXI TL takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of the Data and to prevent unauthorised access to or disclosure of your Data. However, TAXI TL cannot guarantee the elimination of any risk of misappropriation, alteration, unlawful reproduction or misuse of this Data.
Finally, TAXI TL may keep Data in a permanently anonymised form for the purpose of producing statistical studies. Under no circumstances do these studies make it possible to identify you.
5. Transmission of the Data
The database created when you send your request through a contact form is strictly confidential.
TAXI TL undertakes to take all appropriate precautions and organisational and technical measures to preserve the security, integrity and confidentiality of the Data and, in particular, to prevent it from being distorted or damaged, or from being accessed by unauthorised third parties.
The Data collected through the various forms is intended for the internal departments of TAXI TL responsible for responding to and processing your request. Depending on the case, this may be the "Sales" department, the "Accounting" department or the "Telephone booking centre".
Your personal data collected by the GTL Group is under no circumstances passed on to service providers unrelated to our activity. The data is passed on, subject to your consent:
- to the affiliated taxi driver(s) and to the TAXI TL booking centre performing the transport(s) ordered, in order to ensure that it runs smoothly;
- to eKomi, our customer review provider, in charge of quality-of-service monitoring;
- to our online payment providers (Stripe, PayPal) for the remote payment of taxi rides;
- to our technical providers: hosting of the website and its databases, sending of e-mails and SMS, Google for maps and address autocompletion, Google account sign-in and audience measurement, Microsoft for Clarity and Meta for its pixel, the last three only subject to your cookie choices (article 6);
- to our communication / marketing department in order to inform you of TAXI TL news;
- to our sales department for customer follow-up;
- to our accounting department for invoicing follow-up.
Who are the other possible recipients of the Data collected?
Data transferred to authorities and/or public bodies
In accordance with the regulations in force, the Data may be passed on upon request to the competent authorities and in particular to public bodies, exclusively in order to meet legal obligations, to officers of the court, ministerial officers and debt collection bodies, as well as in the context of the search for the perpetrators of offences committed on the Internet.
Data transferred to third parties
In accordance with the provisions above, the Data may be used by TAXI TL, its processors, its affiliated companies and/or its partners:

The cookie choice banner
On your first visit, a banner offers you either to accept all Cookies ("I accept") or to choose the categories you allow ("I choose"): you can then enable or disable Analytics Cookies and Marketing Cookies, then "Save my choices" or "Accept all". Until you have given your consent, no Analytics or Marketing Cookie is placed and the Google, Microsoft and Meta tools operate without cookies or personal data (consent mode). Simply continuing to browse does not constitute consent.
Your choice is kept for thirty (30) days, after which the banner is shown to you again. You can change it at any time, from any page, by clicking the "Cookies Settings" button in the footer of the website.
If you accept the storage of Cookies on your device, the Cookies embedded in the pages and content you have viewed may be stored temporarily in a dedicated area of your device. They will be readable there only by their issuer.
The agreement you give is valid only for a period specific to each Cookie from the first placement on your device following the expression of your consent.
Refusing Cookies
If you refuse the storage of Cookies on your device or in your browser, or if you delete those already stored, you are informed that your browsing and your experience on the TAXI TL website or app may be limited. This could also be the case where TAXI TL or one of its service providers is unable to recognise, for technical compatibility purposes, the type of browser used by the device, the language and display settings or the country from which the device appears to be connected to the Internet. Where applicable, TAXI TL declines all liability for the consequences of the degraded operation of the services resulting from (i) your refusal of Cookies, or (ii) TAXI TL being unable to store or consult the Cookies necessary for their operation as a result of your choice.
Configuring your browser software
You can configure your browser software so that Cookies are stored on the device or, on the contrary, so that they are rejected, either systematically or according to their issuer. You can also configure your browser software so that you are asked to accept or refuse Cookies on a case-by-case basis, before a Cookie is likely to be stored on your device. In this case, TAXI TL cannot guarantee that the Cookies used on its website will actually be stored or rejected by this means. For the management of Cookies and your choices, the configuration of each browser is different. It is described in the browser's help menu, which will tell you how to change your wishes regarding Cookies.
You can change your wishes regarding Cookies at any time.
Cookies placed with your consent have a maximum lifetime of thirteen (13) months from their first placement. If you prefer not to receive these Cookies, you can also choose at any time to disable them from the "Cookies Settings" button or by changing your browser settings.
7. Rights of access and deletion

Accordingly, in accordance with the regulations in force, every natural person has the right of access to, rectification, erasure, restriction and portability of the Data concerning them. These rights may be exercised at any time, upon presentation of proof of identity:
- by post: TAXI TL or Groupe Transport Lyonnais (GTL) for the attention of the Data Protection Officer, 83, rue Jean Jaurès, 69500 BRON, France;

The general personal data protection policy of TAXI TL, which describes the organisation put in place under the GDPR, can be consulted on the GDPR policy page.
Protection of persons making a complaint or a report
TAXI TL guarantees that no stakeholder who makes a complaint or a report in good faith, or who takes part in its handling, may be subject to retaliation, intimidation, discrimination, sanction or any other unfavourable treatment as a result of doing so.
TAXI TL ensures the confidentiality of information relating to complaints and reports. The identity of the person making the complaint or report and the information provided are accessible only to the persons whose involvement is necessary to handle them, in compliance with the applicable personal data protection regulations.
Where disclosure of information to a third party is necessary to handle the complaint or report, TAXI TL ensures that such disclosure is limited to the information strictly necessary and that the confidentiality of the person concerned is preserved as far as possible and in accordance with the applicable legal obligations.
Any person who believes they have suffered retaliation following a complaint, a report or their participation in handling one may inform the Management of TAXI TL. The situation is then examined and, where necessary, appropriate measures are taken.
These provisions supplement the rules on confidentiality, personal data protection and employee protection already applicable within TAXI TL.
