To assist you with your order or provide a quote, we need specific details. When you initiate an order or make a request, we will ask for essential information to facilitate your desired service. This information typically includes your name, age, date and place of birth, as well as contact details (email, mailing address, and phone number). Additionally, you may need to share your passport, ID, driver’s license details, loyalty program ID, and payment information.

Moreover, we gather data from your device when you access our platforms, even if you do not place an order. This data can include your IP address, browser type, and language preferences. There are instances where we might obtain information from third-party sources or automatically collect other types of data. This constitutes the core set of data we collect. Would you like to learn more?

We store and utilize the information you provide. During your order process, we will need to collect your name, email address, and payment details. Additional requests may include your home address, phone number, date of birth, and names of other drivers, if applicable.

If you reach out to us—via phone, email, or social media—we will also gather information about you.

After your booking is finalized, we may solicit your feedback to enhance our services and ensure that future clients enjoy an excellent experience.

There are various ways to provide us with information. For example, if you browse using a mobile device, sharing your current location helps us deliver superior service. To streamline your service experience, you may create a user account, allowing you to track and manage your orders, save personal preferences, and facilitate future bookings.

Personal Data of Others You Provide

You have the option to add another driver or place an order on behalf of someone else, such as a friend, family member, or colleague. By doing this, you must ensure that the individual is aware of this action, understands, and consents to our use of their information (as detailed in this Notice). This responsibility rests with you.

Automatically Collected Personal Data

When you place an order, we record which platform you used and how you accessed it (e.g., through another site).

Even without a booking, we may automatically collect information when you explore our platforms. This could encompass your IP address, the pages visited, the browser employed, and data regarding clicks and viewed pages. We also gather details about your operating system, application version, language preferences, device settings, and characteristics that identify your device.

If you are using a mobile device, we may collect location data as well. We can assess and process the basic data linked to the apps on your device (like name, description, and category).

Personal Data From Other Sources

We might receive information regarding you from social networking sites, our business associates, subsidiaries within the avacar.bg group, and other external parties. For example:

  • We partner with affiliated businesses to provide our services on alternate platforms. When you place a booking on one of these platforms, we may share your personal details with them, which they may then share with us.
  • Agencies that provide services booked through our platforms may be required to share your information with us—for instance, if your booking leads to an insurance claim or customer dispute.
  • Our business partners may also provide us with your information so we can present you with relevant advertisements.

We can merge this data with what you provide directly.

Purposes for Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Interested in more specifics?

How We Utilize Your Personal Data

Your personal information may be utilized in the following situations:

  1. Bookings: We primarily use your personal details to process and manage your bookings and relay necessary information to the car rental company (or other services such as insurance) you’ve requested. This includes sending you messages related to your booking, like confirmations, updates, and reminders.
  2. Customer Assistance: We offer around-the-clock international customer support in 40 different languages. Our global customer service team requires your information to assist with your order or answer any inquiries you may have before, during, or after your booking.
  3. Feedback Collection: We may use your contact information to invite you to participate in a brief survey about your car rental experience. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us enhance our services and those provided by our partners.

We utilize the data you supply to manage your account, allowing you access to helpful features. You can oversee bookings or purchases, make use of special offers, and alter personal settings. This streamlines the process for future orders.
  5. Marketing Initiatives: We also leverage your personal data for marketing objectives, which might include:
    • Contacting you via mail, phone, email, or SMS (based on the contact details you provided), with updates on our latest news, special promotions, discounts, and other developments encompassing our products and services (including those from affiliated companies). You can easily opt out of these marketing communications by clicking the “unsubscribe” link within any email or visiting our Data Request Portal.
    • Contacting you by phone, email, or SMS with information about additional insurance products that were not specified during booking.
    • Displaying current offers on our platforms or on external sites, such as social networking sites, and inviting participation in promotional activities (like referral programs or contests).
  6. Communication: There might be situations when we reach out to you through phone, email, or SMS. These communications may arise for various reasons, including:
    • Addressing and managing any inquiries you’ve made.
    • If your online booking is incomplete, we might remind you to finalize it. We believe this additional prompt will assist you in completing your booking without needing to search again or re-enter your personal information.
    • Once you utilize our services, we could send you a questionnaire or an invitation to share your rental experience.
    • We’ll send you additional information related to your booking, such as how to reach us (or another company) if you require assistance.
    • Furthermore, we provide summaries of your past orders.
    • Additional administrative notifications that might include security alerts, even if you don’t have an active booking.
  7. Market Research: We might invite you to participate in market research. Any extra information you provide during this research will only be utilized with your permission.
  8. Fraud Prevention: To ensure secure and reliable service, we use your personal data to identify and deter fraudulent activities or other illegal actions. We may also engage your data for risk assessment and security measures, which can include user verification and bookings, potentially leading to the suspension of some orders.

By providing feedback, you consent to its publication as described in our Terms. You can submit a review anonymously or indicate your name and country.
  11. Call Monitoring: We may record calls or permit other staff members to listen for the purpose of employee training and ensuring quality service. Recorded calls are maintained for a limited duration and deleted automatically unless there is a legal reason to retain them longer (such as to investigate fraud).
  12. Legal Matters: In certain cases, we might require your personal data for managing and resolving legal disputes, as well as to comply with authority requests and applicable regulations, thereby ensuring that our terms are accurate.

Your provision of personal data to our organization is optional. However, if you wish to access specific types of services, it necessitates the submission of certain personal data. For instance, we cannot process your booking without your name and contact details.

In circumstances where we utilize automated means of gathering personal data that could have legal effects or significant implications for you, we will enforce appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms, including your right to intervention.

Legal Bases for Processing Information

  • Contract Fulfillment: We depend on your personal data to fulfill any agreements you have with us. For example, when you book a vehicle, we need to share your booking information with the rental company to ensure your car is ready on time.
  • Legitimate Interests: We may utilize your information to pursue our “legitimate interests,” which involves actions we deem vital for the effective functioning of our business while respecting your rights and complying with the law. This includes providing you with relevant content on our platforms, including our emails and newsletters; improving and promoting our products and services; as well as administrative activities.
  • Consent: We may rely on your consent to use your personal information in specific scenarios, such as for direct marketing endeavors. You can withdraw your consent at any time through our Data Request Portal or by sending an email to info@avacar.bg with “Privacy” in the subject line.

Third-Party Data Transfers and Their Purposes

We involve various business partners in the services we offer, and under particular circumstances, we share your personal information with third parties. In most instances, we simply relay your booking details to the business partners aiding us in delivering your requested service. We may also share your data with additional third parties, including payment service providers, advertising partners, affiliates of the avacar.bg corporate group, and sometimes governmental authorities. Here are the primary reasons for sharing your personal data. Would you like further insights?

  • Car Rental Suppliers: To process an order, we must send pertinent details to the companies providing your vehicle and/or other related services (such as insurance) that you’ve requested. This information could consist of your name, age, contact details (email, home address, phone number), date and place of birth, passport details, driver’s license information, and any preferences shared at booking time. Should there be a dispute regarding your booking, insurance coverage, or any other customer service concern, we will be required to convey relevant information regarding your booking process, which may include copies of booking confirmations and any details associated with your complaint. Please note that the information you share directly with the car rental providers will be governed by their respective privacy notices and practices.
  • Business Partners: We collaborate with business partners globally. Some partners promote or advertise our services and assist others in marketing their own rental industry-related services (including insurance). When you book on a partner’s platform, we receive some personal information you provided to them. Likewise, we share booking-related personal data with our partners to assist them in analyzing their businesses or managing loyalty programs. They may also send you tailored offers, provided you have given consent. If a partner is responsible for customer support, we will forward your booking details to them to ensure you receive necessary assistance. In all these scenarios, the processing of your personal information is governed by the privacy policies of our partners. When placing an order on a partner’s website, please take the time to review their privacy policy to understand how they manage your data. When you acquire products or services from our partners, we transmit the personal information they need to deliver those services. We might also share user information with partners for fraud detection/prevention, but only at their explicit request.
  • Authorities: We may transfer your personal information to authorities or investigative bodies in compliance with legal obligations (or other legal requirements). These obligations can encompass court orders, subpoenas, and requests stemming from legal or criminal inquiries. We might also disclose personal information if needed to forestall, detect, or prosecute criminal activities. Additionally, we may share personal details with authorities to protect our rights, as well as the rights of our business partners or property.
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We may engage third-party service providers to process your personal data on our behalf and assist in delivering our services. These providers may help us contact you, relay booking information from transportation service partners, or manage our website, call centers, or marketing initiatives. We might also use third-party service providers for market research and fraud prevention, including anti-fraud measures. These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and cannot use your personal data for purposes other than those specified above.
  • Advertising Partners: We may share your email address and other personal information with third-party advertising partners to ensure you receive relevant advertising while we market our services through third-party partners. We also collaborate with advertising networks to promote services on alternate platforms and engage third-party agencies for analytical research. We maintain strict confidentiality agreements with all such parties to prevent the use of your personal information beyond the outlined purposes. For more information regarding personalized ads and your choices, see “How and Why We Use These Technologies?” and “Your Choice: Accept or Reject” found in our Cookie Policy.
  • Payment Service Providers: We may work with third-party payment service providers to ensure payments are processed securely. Should you (or the cardholder used during booking) seek a refund, we may need to furnish certain booking details to the payment provider and the relevant financial institution. This might include a copy of your booking confirmation or the IP address utilized to place the order. We may also share relevant information with financial entities to help detect or avert fraud.

The transfer of personal data in accordance with this privacy notice may occur internationally, potentially in locations where personal data protection laws differ from those in the UK or the EU. When required by UK regulations, we only transfer personal data to recipients who offer reliable protection. This involves entering agreements to confirm that the protection of your personal data meets UK and EU standards. You can request copies of these agreements by contacting us using the details provided below.

Mobile Device Usage

We provide free applications for various mobile devices, along with optimized versions of our standard website for mobile and tablet users. These tools gather and process your personal data in the same manner as our other platforms; they facilitate locating nearby car rental locations based on your current position. Would you like more information?

If you consent, we can send push notifications directly to your mobile device to keep you updated about your bookings. Additionally, if you agree to provide us access to your device’s location or contact details, we can offer enhanced services upon your request. Instructions for enabling push notifications and granting us access to this data are available on your mobile device.

To improve service quality and deliver more relevant marketing, we might utilize a method known as “cross-device tracking.” This allows us to assess how you engage with our platforms across multiple devices; for example, we could mix data from your smartphone and desktop. This practice pertains to cookie usage (for more information on cookies and similar technologies, please refer to our Cookie Policy).

To ensure you find the newsletter offers most pertinent to you, we analyze your search behavior and booking activities across connected devices after logging into your account. If you prefer to opt out, simply log out of your account before browsing or unsubscribe from our newsletter.

Cross-device tracking can also lead to personalized ads appearing on a single device, based on your actions across connected devices. Opting out of the NAI behavioral advertising program can stop this process (further instructions can be found in our Cookie Policy under the “Your Choice: Accept or Reject” section). Please note: logging out of your account does not halt this tracking.

Security Measures for Your Personal Information

Our organizational systems and protocols are designed to guarantee comprehensive protection of your personal data against misuse or unauthorized access in alignment with UK and European data protection regulations. We implement specific procedures and security measures (both technical and physical) that limit access to and use of any personal data we retain. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel, and even then, solely for valid, legitimate purposes.

We will keep your data for as long as deemed necessary for Service utilization, to provide you with services, maintain your account (if any), adhere to applicable laws, resolve disputes among parties, etc., as well as to conduct our business, including fraud detection or prevention of illegal activities. This privacy statement encompasses all personal data we collect.

Children’s Personal Data

We do not extend services to anyone under the age of 18, and we reserve the right to erase any information received from individuals below this age. We may come across children’s information in specific scenarios, such as in insurance matters or customer service disputes. In these instances, we will only collect and utilize such information with the consent of the child’s parent or guardian.

Managing Your Personal Information

You possess the right, subject to certain legal stipulations, to access, correct, or delete any personal information we hold about you. You can utilize our Data Objects Access Portal to exercise any of these rights. When you do so, we will require additional information to verify your identity to ensure security, processing your requests in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws. You can update or delete your account at any time by logging into our site.

During the ordering process, we inquire whether you wish to receive marketing communications. You may opt out at any given moment by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any of these marketing emails or adjusting your email preferences within your user account.
