Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data (GDPR)
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal data described in this Privacy Policy depends on the personal data we collect and the specific context in which we collect it:
- Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (e.g., fulfilling your vehicle rental booking).
- You have given us explicit consent to do so.
- The processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection rights.
- To comply with the law.
Disclosure of Your Information
We may share your personal data with third parties in the following situations:
- Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf, such as payment processing, IT services, and customer support. These providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to use it for other purposes.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
- With Your Consent: We may disclose your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, and to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
