Privacy Policy

We collect the least information we can and we use it to get you to your appointment. This page explains exactly what that means, in plain language rather than legal filler.

Last updated August 13, 2026
01 Who we are

Ohana Care and Transportation provides non emergency medical transportation across Central Kentucky. This policy explains what information we collect when you call us, book a ride, or use this website, how we use it, and what choices you have.

This policy covers this website and the bookings we take by phone, email, and text. It applies to riders, to the family members and caregivers who book on their behalf, and to the facility staff who arrange trips with us.

02 Information we collect

We collect only what we need to schedule and complete a ride safely. That falls into four groups.

Booking and contact information
Rider name, phone number, and email address Pickup address and destination address Appointment date, time, and facility name The name and contact details of whoever books the ride, if that is not the rider
Information about your transportation needs
Whether you use a wheelchair, a walker, or walk in unassisted Whether a companion is riding with you Mobility, access, or assistance notes needed to complete the trip safely, such as a step at the door or a long driveway Whether the trip follows a procedure requiring a responsible adult at discharge
Payment information
Billing name and address Payment card details, which are processed by our payment provider and are not stored by us A record of trips completed and amounts charged
Information collected automatically on this website
IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system Pages viewed, time on page, and the site or search that referred you Information collected through cookies and similar technologies, described below
03 Health information
We collect the minimum health related information needed to transport you safely, and nothing beyond it.

To schedule a ride we may learn the type of appointment you are attending, the facility you are going to, and the assistance you need. That information exists only so the right vehicle and the right driver arrive prepared.

We do not ask for your diagnosis, your medical records, or your treatment details, and you should not send them to us. If you provide information we do not need, we will not use it.

Our drivers are told what they need to complete the trip safely and nothing more. We do not discuss riders with anyone outside the trip, and we do not use rider information in marketing, on social media, or in photographs.

04 How we use your information
We use the information we collect to
Schedule, dispatch, and complete your trip Contact you about a booking, a pickup time, or a delay Coordinate with a facility or a family member when you have asked us to Quote a trip and process payment Keep records required for insurance, licensing, and safety Answer questions and respond to complaints Understand how this website is used so we can improve it
We do not sell your information. We do not rent it, trade it, or share it with data brokers.
05 How we share your information

We share information only in the situations below.

Situations where we share
With our drivers and dispatch staff, limited to what the trip requires With the facility you are travelling to or from, when coordination is needed to complete the trip With a family member or caregiver you have authorised to arrange rides for you With service providers who work on our behalf, such as our payment processor, scheduling software, and website hosting When required by law, a court order, or a lawful request from a government authority When necessary to protect the safety of a rider, a driver, or another person

Service providers may only use the information to perform the service we hired them for. They may not use it for their own purposes.

06 Phone calls and text messages

When you give us your phone number to book a ride, we may contact you by call or text about that ride. That includes confirming a pickup time, telling you a driver is on the way, and reaching you if something changes.

Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any text to opt out of messages, or tell us on the phone and we will note it. Opting out of texts does not cancel your bookings, and we will still call you when we need to reach you about a scheduled trip.

We do not share your phone number with third parties for their own marketing.

07 Cookies and website analytics

This website uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly and to understand how visitors use it.

The cookies on this site fall into
Essential cookies, which the site needs to function Analytics cookies, which tell us which pages are visited and how people move through the site Advertising cookies, which may be used to measure whether an ad brought somebody to this site

Most browsers let you refuse cookies or delete the ones already stored. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of this site from working. Analytics and advertising cookies can be blocked without affecting your ability to use the site or book a ride.

08 How long we keep your information

We keep trip and billing records as long as we need them for accounting, insurance, and licensing purposes, and for as long as any applicable law requires.

Booking notes about your access and mobility needs are kept while you are an active rider so that a driver arriving at your address knows what to expect. If you tell us you no longer want those notes kept, we will remove them.

Website analytics data is kept in aggregate and is not tied to your booking records.

09 How we protect your information

We limit access to rider information to the people who need it to do their work. Payment card details are handled by our payment provider and are not stored on our systems.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your information, we will notify you as required by Kentucky law.

10 Your choices and your rights
You can ask us at any time to
Tell you what information we hold about you Correct information that is wrong or out of date Delete information we are not required to keep Stop sending you text messages Stop sharing your information with a family member or facility you previously authorised

Call or email us using the details at the end of this policy and we will handle the request. We may need to verify who you are before we act on it.

11 Children

This website is not directed to children and we do not knowingly collect information from children through it.

When we transport a minor, the booking is made by a parent, guardian, or authorised caregiver, and the information we collect is limited to what the trip requires.

12 Links to other websites

This site links to other websites, including Google and the pages of facilities we serve. We do not control those sites and this policy does not cover them. Read their policies before giving them information.

13 Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our services or the law change. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we will make that clear rather than quietly editing the text.
