Permissions each app asks for, and why
We ask only for what the service needs, and explain each permission in the app before requesting it. You can refuse any permission; only the related feature stops working.
Laffa Passenger
- Location (while using the app): to show nearby TukTuks, set the pickup point and follow the trip.
- Notifications: to alert you about trip status and the captain arriving.
Laffa Captain
- Location — including in the background: only while you are Online or On a trip, to send your position to passengers and for matching even when the app is minimised or the screen is off. A persistent notification is shown the whole time, and sharing stops completely when you tap Offline.
- Camera: to photograph verification documents and the TukTuk during sign-up.
- Notifications: for trip requests, the verification outcome and wallet alerts.
Privacy and terms
Before installing you can read what we collect and why, and how to delete your account at any time:
An iOS version is planned later; we start with Android because it is by far the most common among TukTuk passengers and captains in Egypt.
