Trust & Safety

Vetted chauffeurs. Private by default.

Every VALET chauffeur clears a multi-step vetting process before ever touching a client's keys. Your personal information is protected with the same rigor.

Driver vetting

Multi-state background checks

Every driver is screened for criminal history across national and county databases before their first trip, and re-screened annually.

License & driving-record verification

We verify each chauffeur's driver license class and pull a current motor-vehicle record. Endorsements, suspensions, and points are reviewed against internal minimums.

In-person interview & road test

Approved candidates complete a private in-person interview and a defensive-driving road assessment with a senior operator before assignment.

Reference & employment checks

We contact prior chauffeur, security, or private-service references and verify employment history for the trailing five years.

Ongoing performance review

Each trip is reviewed against a written service standard. A single confirmed policy breach removes a driver from the roster.

Privacy & security

Least-privilege data access

Trip details are visible only to the assigned driver and dispatch. Client name, address, and passenger notes are never shared with drivers who aren't on the trip.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

All bookings, messages, and documents move over TLS and are stored in an encrypted managed database with role-based access controls.

Payments handled by Stripe

Card details are tokenized by Stripe and never touch our servers. We store only the minimum needed to bill the trip.

Signed NDAs for every driver

All approved chauffeurs sign a confidentiality agreement covering client identity, itinerary, guests, and anything observed during service.

Right to erase

You can request deletion of your account and personal data at any time from your account page or by writing to privacy@taiwo.world.

Insurance & incident response

VALET carries commercial hired & non-owned auto liability that sits over your personal policy while our chauffeur is behind the wheel. Full coverage details and our incident-response process live on the Insurance page.
