Privacy policy

Privacy policy
Last revised: April 11, 2023


RentLuxy LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, “RentLuxy”, “we”, or “us”) care about privacy and want you to be familiar with how we collect, use, process, and disclose your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices in connection with our websites and applications that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”) and our offline interactions with you in settings where we post this Privacy Policy.

Personal information we collect

We collect three categories of personal information - personal information you give us; personal information automatically collected from your use of the Services; and personal information from third-party sources.

Personal information you give us

Account data

When you register for an account with us, we require certain personal information to open your account, such as your name, email address, and password.

Profile data

We may also ask you to provide additional profile information to use certain features of the Services which may include street addresses, phone numbers, driver’s license number, date of issuance and issuing country and/or state, profile photos, employer, city, school, biography, and date of birth. Certain parts of your profile (like your profile photos, employer, city, school, and biography) are part of your public profile page and will be publicly visible to others.

Vehicle data

We collect information you provide in relation to a vehicle such as vehicle listing details, vehicle identification number (VIN), availability dates, reviews, and uploaded trip photos.

Payment data

We collect your digital payment details, bank account or payment card numbers, and transaction information in connection with a potential or actual transaction, which may be processed and stored by one or more third party payment service providers or digital payments companies.

Identity verification data

In some instances, we may collect identity verification information such as a photograph or scanned copy of a driver’s license, passport, national ID card, or payment card, last four digits of your Social Security number, social insurance number, social media account information, driver’s/motor vehicle record, insurance information, or other forms of identification information. Where we request that you withhold certain information (such as obscuring or redacting aspects of identification information), please do so.

Communications

When you communicate with RentLuxy, including via phone, email, or chat, or use the Services to communicate with other users, we collect information about your communication and any information you choose to provide.

Contact Information

At RentLuxy, we value the privacy and security of our users. We understand that some users may choose to upload their contacts to RentLuxy to enhance their experience with our mobile app. However, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of all users, including those whose contacts are uploaded.

Therefore, we have implemented the following policy for user uploading contacts:

  • Consent: RentLuxy will not upload any contacts without the explicit consent of the user. When a user first attempts to upload contacts, they will be prompted to provide their explicit consent. Users will also be given the option to revoke their consent at any time through the app's settings.
  • Limited Access: RentLuxy will only access the contact information that is necessary to provide the intended functionality of the app. We will not use or access any contact information for any other purpose without the user's explicit consent.
  • Security: RentLuxy takes appropriate security measures to protect the privacy and security of all user data, including contact information. All contact information uploaded to RentLuxy is encrypted and stored securely on our servers.
  • Deletion: Users may request to have their uploaded contacts deleted from RentLuxy's servers at any time through the app's settings. RentLuxy will comply with these requests promptly and permanently delete all user contact information.
  • Transparency: RentLuxy will be transparent about our data collection and usage practices, including how we use contact information. We will provide users with clear and concise information about our policies and procedures for user uploaded contacts.

Personal information we automatically collect

Usage data

We collect information about your interactions with the Services, such as the pages or other content you view, your searches, bookings you have made, how long you spent on a page or screen, sites from which you link or browse to in the Services, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, access time, duration of access, and other actions on the Services.

Location data

When you use certain features of the Services, we may collect information about your approximate location (e.g., city/town associated with your IP address). When you opt in to use our location sharing feature, we may collect the precise location information of your mobile device. Keep in mind that most mobile devices allow you to control or disable the use of location services by any application on your mobile device in the device’s settings menu.

Device data

We collect information about your computer or mobile device, such as its operating system type and version number, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, IP address, unique device identifiers, or general location information such as city, state, or geographic area.

Trip data

We collect transactional information related to the trips you take through the Services, including the date and time of your trip, amounts charged, and other related trip details.

In-vehicle device data

If a vehicle is enrolled in a RentLuxy Go program or has a RentLuxy Go device installed, we may remotely collect certain information about the vehicle. Depending on the make, model, and year of the vehicle, this information may include, GPS location, car battery voltage, fuel level, odometer reading, malfunction indicator lamp (e.g., a check engine light), door state (e.g., locked/unlocked), engine state (e.g., stopped/running), and VIN.

Cookies and similar technology

When you access the Services, we (including companies we work with) may place small data files on your computer or other device. These data files may be cookies, clear gifs, pixel tags, e-tags, “Flash cookies”, or other local storage provided by your browser or associated applications (collectively “Cookies”). For more detailed information on our use of these technologies, please see our policy. At this time, we do not respond to browser ‘Do-Not-Track’ signals.

Personal information we collect from third-party sources

Third-party services

If you choose to login to our Services through a third-party site or service (e.g., Apple, Facebook, or Google), the third-party service may send us information such as your registration and profile information from that service. The information we may receive varies by service and is controlled by the relevant service. By associating an account managed by a third party with your RentLuxy account and authorizing RentLuxy to have access to this information, you agree that RentLuxy may collect, store, and use this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for how those third parties use and share your information. Please refer to the privacy policies of those third parties to understand how they use and share your personal information.

Third-party in-vehicle devices

If your vehicle, or a vehicle you book through the Services, includes an in-vehicle device or system operated by a third-party service (including vehicle manufacturers) or installed by the host, that host or service may record information about your use of the car. These devices or systems may monitor the car's condition, performance and operation, track fuel consumption, distance traveled, location, and other information. The host and/or third-party service will be solely responsible for its use of such information but may disclose such information to RentLuxy, which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Background check services

To the extent permitted by applicable laws, RentLuxy may collect background information about you from public records, background check providers, or other screening services, including credit reports and information about criminal convictions or from sex offender registries. We may use your information, including your full name and date of birth, to obtain such reports.

Other sources

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may receive additional information about you, such as demographic data, fraud detection information, or data from credit bureaus and other third-party data providers. We may combine the information about you that we receive from third-party sources with other information we have about you.

How we use your personal information

We use, store, and process your personal information to provide and improve the Services and for security and safety purposes. For example, we may use your information:

  • Provide customer support
  • Send you service, support, and administrative messages, reminders, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and information requested by you at any telephone number, by placing a voice call or through text (SMS) or email messaging
  • Facilitate your login to the Services via third-party identity and access management providers, such as Facebook, Google, and Apple

For research and development

We may use your personal information to analyze and improve the Services and to develop new products and services, including by studying our user demographics of the Services. We may also create aggregated, de-identified, or other anonymous data from your personal information. We make personal information into anonymous data by removing information that makes the data personally identifiable to you. We may use this anonymous data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze and improve the Services and promote our business.

For marketing and advertising

We and our third party advertising partners may collect and use your personal information for marketing and advertising purposes:

Direct marketing

We may send you RentLuxy-related marketing communications as permitted by law. You will have the ability to opt-out of our marketing and promotional communications at anytime.

Interest-based advertising

We may contract with third party advertising and social media companies to display ads on the Services and other sites. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about you (including the device data, online activity data, and/or geolocation data described above) over time across our Services and other sites and services or your interaction with our emails, and use that information to serve ads that they think will interest you. These ads are known as “interest-based advertisements”. You can learn more about your choices for limiting interest-based advertising.

For security and safety, including to

  • Verify your identity or authenticate information that you provide, including during account creation and password reset processes
  • Resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems
  • Detect, prevent, and/or remediate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or other potentially harmful, prohibited, or illegal activities

  • Manage and protect our information technology infrastructure
  • Conduct investigations and risk assessments
  • Conduct checks against databases and information sources (such as but not limited to public government databases)

To comply with law

We use your personal information as we believe necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal processes, such as to respond to subpoenas or requests from government authorities.

With your consent

In some cases, we may specifically ask for your consent to process your personal information. We may also use your personal information as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy or as disclosed to you at the time of collection.

How we disclose your personal information

With your consent

We may share your information at your direction or with your consent.

Profiles, listings, and other public information

Your public listing page on the Services will always include some basic information, such as your user ID or name associated with your account, your public profile photo, and for hosts, the city where your car is located, your listing description, your calendar availability, transaction related information to allow our community to evaluate your reliability and responsiveness, and reviews or feedback about you. Your public listing page may also include aggregate demand information (such as number of page views over a period of time) and information about your cancellations. The Services may also display the approximate geographic pick-up location of your vehicle.

The Services allow your public profile and public listing pages to be included in search engines, in which case your public profile and public listing pages may be indexed by search engines and may be published as search results.

Sharing between hosts and guests

RentLuxy enables car owners to offer and share their vehicles with other individuals. If you agree to a booking through the Services, we may provide your information to the other party in that transaction as reasonably necessary to facilitate the transaction. For example, RentLuxy may provide your mobile phone number to facilitate communication, your driver's license information to confirm license validity, or your photograph to facilitate identification. We will also share the address of the vehicle and, if applicable, the proposed delivery location with the other party. If you used the Trip Photo feature, we may share the trip photos you upload and associated captions with the other party. The other party may also send you text messages (such as to confirm pickup or delivery location). Standard telephone minutes and text and data charges may apply.

Service providers

We may share information with vendors and service providers who support the operation of the Services and business and who need access to such information to carry out their work for us (including, for example, web hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery, marketing, insurance, claims administration, and customer support services). In some cases, the service provider may directly collect the information from you on our behalf. For hosts who choose to use our photography program, your contact information will be shared with the photographer assigned to shoot your vehicle. These service providers may use your personal information only as directed or authorized by us.

Third-party platforms and social media networks

If you have enabled features or functionality that connect the Services to a third-party platform or social media network (such as by logging in to the Services using your account with the third party, providing your API key or similar access token for the Services to a third party, or otherwise linking your Services account to a third-party’s services), we may disclose to the third-party platform or social media network the personal information necessary to facilitate the connection or that you authorized us to share. We do not control the third party’s use of your personal information.

Professional advisors

We may disclose your personal information to professional advisors, such as lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers, where necessary in the course of the professional services that they render to us.

Business transfers

We may sell, transfer, or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your personal information, in connection with a business transaction (or potential business transaction) such as a corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution.

Responding to legal requests, preventing harm, and protecting our rights

We may disclose your personal information to courts, law enforcement, governmental or tax authorities, or third parties. We will make such disclosure to the extent we are required or permitted to do so by applicable law or where we consider such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations or legal process, to respond to claims asserted against us, and for the security and safety purposes described above. We may also disclose your information in response to valid legal requests relating to criminal investigations or alleged or suspected illegal activity or any other activity that may expose RentLuxy, you, or any other user, or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of RentLuxy, our users, or others.

We may also disclose your personal information as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy or as disclosed to you at the time of collection.

Your preferences and choices

Communication preferences

You can control the methods by which we may contact you about your account, your booking and listing activities, promotions, and announcements in the Notifications section within your RentLuxy account.

Opting out of marketing communications

You may opt out of marketing-related emails by following the opt-out or unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of the email. You may continue to receive service-related and other non-marketing emails. If you receive marketing text messages from us, you may opt out of receiving further marketing text messages from us by replying STOP to our marketing message or as described in the message.

Correct and update

You can review, correct, update, and edit certain information that has been previously provided to us by you at any time by logging in to your account and reviewing your account settings and profile. You can also access or request a correction of your information by contacting us at help@rentluxy.com For your protection, we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request.

Account closure

If you wish to close your account and request deletion of your personal information, please send an email to help@rentluxy.com or contact us at support@rentluxy.com

Please note that we may be unable to delete information needed to comply with applicable laws, detect or prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, assist with or process claims, troubleshoot problems, assist with any audits and investigations, to enforce our Terms and Conditions and take other actions reasonably necessary, permitted, or required by applicable law. There may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed.

Access

You can request a copy of your personal information pursuant to any information access rights that you may have under applicable laws in your account page. We may request proof of identification or re-authentication to verify your access request.

Location data

Users of our mobile application can disable the application’s access to the device’s location within the device’s settings.

Interest-based advertising choices

Your choices for limiting use of your personal information for interest-based advertising include:

Blocking cookies in your browser

Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies, including cookies used for interest-based advertising. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org

Blocking advertising ID use in your mobile settings

Your mobile device settings may provide functionality to limit use of the advertising ID associated with your mobile device (e.g., Apple ID for Advertising or Google Advertising ID) for interest-based advertising purposes.

Using privacy plug-ins or browsers

You can block sites from setting cookies for interest-based ads by using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing browser plugins like Privacy Badger, Ghostery, or uBlock Origin, and configuring them to block third party cookies/trackers.

Choosing not to share your personal information

Where we are required by law to collect your personal information, or where we need your personal information in order to provide the Services to you, if you do not provide this information when requested (or we later delete it at your request), we may not be able to provide you with the Services.

Third-party platforms and social media networks

If you choose to connect the Services to a third-party platform or social media network, such as by using the third party’s authentication service to log into your account on the Services, you may be able to control your settings through the third-party platform or social media network. If you withdraw our ability to access certain information from a third-party platform or social media network, that choice will not apply to information that we have already received from that third party.

Refunds, Cancellations, and Travel Issues

In general, if as a Guest you cancel a Reservation, the amount refunded to you is determined by the check-in time to that Reservation. But, in certain situations, other policies take precedence and determine what amount is refunded to you. If something outside your control forces you to cancel a Reservation, you may be eligible for a partial or full refund. If the Host cancels, or you experience a Travel Issue, you may be eligible for rebooking assistance or a partial or full refund. Different policies apply to certain categories of Listings, and you will be provided with the details about what is covered, and what refund applies in each situation.

Security

We employ a number of technical, physical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, destruction, or alteration while it is under our control. However, no method of transmitting or storing information can be 100% secure and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

Other important information

Cross border transfer

The Services are controlled and operated from the United States. Your personal information may be used, stored, and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers. These locations may be outside of your state, province, or country of residence, and may have different and/or less protective data protection rules than those of your state, province, or country. As a result, this information may be subject to access requests from governments, courts, regulatory agencies, security authorities, or law enforcement in those jurisdictions according to the laws in those jurisdictions.

Sensitive information

We ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive information (e.g., Social Security numbers, social insurance numbers, passports, information related to racial or ethnic origin, or health) on or through the Services or otherwise to us unless specifically requested.

Children

The Services are not intended for anyone under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from users under the age of 18. If a child under the age of 18 has already provided us with personal information, his or her parent or guardian may contact us to request that we delete it.

Third-party privacy practices

This Privacy Policy addresses only the use and disclosure of information collected by RentLuxy. This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any site or service to which the Services link. The inclusion of a link on the Services does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates. If you disclose your information to others, or if you are directed to a third-party website, their privacy notices and practices will apply.

Translations

Where RentLuxy has provided you with a version of this Privacy Policy in a language other than English, in case of any wording discrepancies between such version and the English version, the English wording takes precedence.

Changes to this privacy policy

We may change this Privacy Policy. Please take a look at the “Last revised” legend at the top of this page to see when this Privacy Policy was last revised. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Services or as otherwise indicated. Your use of the Services following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree to these changes, you can contact us to close your account.

Information for California residents

Scope.

This section applies only to California residents entitled to receive the information in this section under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"). It describes how we collect, use, and share Personal Information of California residents when we act as a "business" as defined under the CCPA, and their rights with respect to their Personal Information. For purposes of this section, "Personal Information" has the meaning given in the CCPA but does not include information excluded from the scope of the CCPA. In some cases, we may provide a different privacy notice to certain categories of California residents, such as job applicants, in which case that notice will apply instead of this section.

Your California privacy rights

As a California resident, you have the rights listed below.

  • The categories of Personal Information that we have collected
  • The categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information

  • The categories of third parties with whom we share Personal Information
  • Whether we have disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, and if so, the categories of Personal Information received by each category of third-party recipient

You can request a copy of the Personal Information that we have collected about you during the past 12 months.

Deletion

Nondiscrimination

You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination in the form of any unlawful denial of service, increase in the price of services, decrease in service quality, or suggestion that you may be penalized for exercising your rights.

We do not sell your Personal Information

Based on our understanding of the term "sell" under the CCPA, we do not sell personal information to third parties and have not sold Personal Information during the twelve months preceding the "last revised" date of this Privacy Policy. However, like many companies online, we use services provided by Google, Facebook, and others that help deliver interest-based ads to you as described in the section above entitled Interest-based advertising. We describe how you can opt-out of use of your Personal Information for interest-based advertising in the section entitled Interest-based advertising choices.

How to exercise your rights

You can request to exercise your information, access, and deletion rights by contacting us at support@rentluxy.com or emailing us at help@rentluxy.com

We may decline your request where required or permitted by law. We will need to confirm your identity to process your requests and we reserve the right to confirm your California residency as well. Government identification may be required. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf by providing a valid power of attorney, the requester’s valid government-issued identification, and the authorized agent’s valid government issued identification. We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it. You should transmit your government-issued identification or any other sensitive information to us only as instructed. Email is not a secure means of communication and you should not email your government-issued identification or any other sensitive information to us.

Personal information that we collect, use, and share

The chart provides additional information pursuant to the CCPA about the Personal Information we collect, use, and share.

Legal bases for processing

The legal bases of our processing of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the type of personal information and the specific context in which we process it.

Use for new purposes

We may use your personal information for reasons not described in this Privacy Policy where permitted by law and the reason is compatible with the purpose for which we collected it. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the applicable legal basis.

Retention

We retain personal information where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested; to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements; to establish or defend legal claims; or for fraud prevention). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Nondiscrimination policy

Our community is the foundation of our business—without you, we wouldn’t exist—so we rely on good people to do good things, and to treat each other and their property with respect, dignity, and compassion. Our shared commitment to these values enables every member of our community to feel welcome on our platform regardless of the way they look, who they love, what they believe, how they self-identify, where they’re from, or when they were born. We have a zero-tolerance policy—discrimination of any kind is not tolerated in the RentLuxy community. Race, color, ethnicity, religion, age, national origin, residence or geographic location, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender, military service, disability, gender identity, or marital/parental status

Members of the RentLuxy community may not

  • Make any statement that discourages or indicates a preference for or against any guest on account of race, color, ethnicity, religion, age, national origin, residence or geographic location, ancestry, sexual orientation, gender, military service, disability, gender identity, or marital/parental status

  • Make assumptions about the guest’s ability to operate their vehicle.
  • Decline or cancel a trip based on a guest’s actual or perceived disability.
  • Inquire about the existence or severity of a guest’s disability, or the means used to accommodate a disability. If a potential guest raises his or her disability, a host should discuss whether their vehicle meets the potential guest’s needs.

  • Refuse to communicate with a guest with a hearing disability via their preferred mode of communication.

RentLuxy hosts may not
  • Decline, cancel, or impose any different terms or conditions for a reservation based on familial status (having a child under the age of eighteen, being pregnant, or in the process of adopting or gaining custody of a child).
RentLuxy hosts may
  • Provide factually accurate information about their listing’s features (or lack of them) that could make the listing unsafe or unsuitable for families with children or infants.
  • Contact customer support if both guest and host are unable to provide proper accommodations for a guest’s family needs. For instance, a guest arrives to pick up a car with a child who is required to have a car seat without one.
