Photo privacy
Photos are encrypted, deleted after thirty days, and no employee can export them in bulk.
Most motorbike riders in Yemen don't wear a helmet, and the result is daily injuries that didn't have to happen. Khodha is our attempt to change that from inside the app.
Before a captain takes their first request they shoot a live photo in their helmet with the front camera. Gallery uploads are refused.
The app asks for another photo at an unexpected moment, and one at the start of a random ride while the rider is watching.
One question after every ride: was the captain wearing his helmet? That beats any selfie, because it happens in the street rather than in front of a camera.
Captains with high scores get more requests. Those who slip get a warning, then lower priority, then a one-day suspension. We don't cut anyone's income overnight.
A captain can take the photo in his helmet and remove it a minute later. We know that, and we don't claim the programme stops it.
Khodha isn't surveillance, it's a habit-change tool: a daily reminder, a number that measures compliance, and a reward for those who comply. Over time the helmet becomes normal rather than the exception — and that alone saves lives.
Photos are encrypted, deleted after thirty days, and no employee can export them in bulk.
We sell captains a two-helmet set on weekly instalments, because the rider's safety is part of the ride.
National ID, licence, vehicle inspection, and two references we actually phone. Verification happens in our office, not through uploaded photos.
One tap sends your live location, the captain's name and plate number to whoever you choose on WhatsApp.
It calls a number of ours answered by a person around the clock, working from a written protocol.
Any serious report suspends the captain's account immediately while we investigate. We publish the number of suspensions monthly.
We delete every trip route after seventy-two hours, and never store your home address in plain text.
A compensation fund with published payouts for captain accidents, because conventional insurance barely exists here.
If you already wear a helmet, you're exactly who we're looking for.
