How we order search results
===========================

This page describes how trip search decides which trips you see and in what order. The same rule applies to every user, on the web and in the mobile app.

## Which trips we show

A trip is shown if all of the following hold:

- the trip's route passes within the chosen radius of both your origin and your destination (2 km by default; on the web you can set it from 0.5 to 20 km);
- on the driver's route your origin comes before your destination, so the trip goes in your direction;
- the trip is active and has not left yet; if you picked a time, only trips departing at most 12 hours before or after that time are shown;
- it has at least one free seat (if you need a ride) or at least one free package slot (if you are sending a package);
- the driver's account is not suspended or banned.

## In what order

We order results by where your origin lies on the driver's route: trips where your origin is closer to the start of their route come first. Departure time, price and the driver's rating do not change this order; you see the departure time with each trip.

## What does not affect the order

- **Payment:** Gepek has no paid placement or ads — nobody can pay for a better position in the results.
- **Ratings and reviews:** they are shown with a trip but do not affect the order.
- **Your data:** search does not use your history, profile or location beyond what you enter in the search, and we do not store queries with your account; we record only anonymous statistics (see the [Privacy policy](/legal/privacy)).

## What you can change yourself

You can narrow or widen the results by changing the origin, destination, radius and time, and by choosing whether you need a ride or are sending a package. More about the processing of data in search is in the [Privacy policy](/legal/privacy).
