Do services count? Because in that case, ride-hailing. A replacement for services like Uber and Lyft.

A private ride hailing app sounds like a safety nightmare. It's one of those things you want blazingly documented and auditable

I agree that data collection is a good security measure in this case. But privacy friendly does not necessarily mean there is no data collected. Important is that nothing is shared with 3rd parties and all data is well protected.

Safety features nessaseraly demand open and auditable by third parties.

We need to be able to ensure that abusers aren't hopping around companies abusing passengers or drivers, for example. It's hard to do that with complete privacy.

It's one of the cases where strong regulations so third parties can't do things with your data is important, but also sharing that data to protect yourself and others more vulnerable than you is important.
