Privacy Policy
How Falcon Bus Service collects, uses and protects your personal information, in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).

Information We Collect
- 1.1When you create an account or make a booking, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and passenger details necessary to issue a ticket.
- 1.2When you pay for a booking, payment is processed directly by Yoco, our payment gateway partner. We do not collect or store your card number, expiry date or CVC — that information goes straight to Yoco.
- 1.3We automatically retain a record of your bookings (route, date, fare, booking reference) so you can view your trip history in your account.
