Personal Information Collected

As used in this Privacy Policy, the term “personal information” means information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual (such as a name, address, telephone number, mobile number, e-mail address, IP address, or other account number). Personal information also includes demographic information such as gender, geographic area and preferences when that information is linked to other information that identifies the individual.

Personal information does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect about the use of the DRIVVE platform or about a group or category of products, services or users which does not contain any personal information (e.g., the number of rentals on the platform, the number of requests for a certain model of vehicle, or number of visitors to the site). DRIVVE may compile aggregate information about yout use of the platform and our Services to help us understand trends and our users’ needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor our DRIVVE Services.

Personal information related to Members, Vehicle Partners and car rentals

When you rent a car with DRIVVE, we will ask you for your name, contact information, payment information and information concerning your driver’s license and Driver’s record. DRIVVE will use information from third parties (e.g., Home Affairs, credit bureaus) to verify personal information you provide to us pursuant to the Terms of Service, and to obtain additional related information and corrections where applicable. By agreeing and signing your rental agreement that is provided, you are thereby authorising DRIVVE to make use of these third party services, should the need arise. Further information on these services, and the information that is obtained is available on request.

Personal information collected from in-car devices

DRIVVE installs a device on rental vehicles which records geo-location information. DRIVVE will log and retain information recorded by the in-car device, such as location, mileage and other aspects relating to the use of the car during a rental period. This information is used for safety, security, technical, and other related commercial purposes, including to provide and improve DRIVVE’s products and services.

Personal information from the use of our platform

We collect and store communications you make through the site, including your postings on site pages. We may use those communications for internal purposes, including to better understand how members use the platform, as well as for security purposes.

DRIVVE also logs each visit to each web page on the site. The log may contain information such as the browser type you used, your Internet Protocol address, and the date and time of day of the visit. We may also log your cookie’s identification number and the URL of the last site you visited. This log information is important for security and quality improvement (e.g., to detect and remove any technical bugs), as well as for monitoring the proper performance of our platform. As noted elsewhere in this policy, this log data is kept for a maximum of 14 days, after which time it is deleted.
