Websites/Apps
We respect the privacy of all our online guests. Our Sites, Apps and underlying infrastructure recognize and record certain information about visitors and users. The nature of the information collected may include the type of browser used, the type of operating system of your computer or other Internet access device, the domain name or Internet Protocol (“IP”) address of the visitor’s / user’s Internet service provider, the Site/App pages visited by users, the actions taken on said pages, and the character and duration of Site/App usage. In addition, our Apps will recognize and record all data that you input into it.
In the instance where users provide additional Personal Information during their use of the Site or App (for example by logging in), this Personal Information may be stored alongside the aforementioned information and all subsequently collected information. This information (both personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable) may be used for the purposes of improving our Sites and Apps, improving our business, troubleshooting issues, supporting our customers/users and any other use that we deem necessary for the effective delivery of services to our end-users and our customers. The collection of information for these purposes may be facilitated by our Apps and Sites directly or by using external third-party services (see service providers below)
Non-Personal Information gathered by our Sites during regular browsing (i.e. not signed in) may be used to help analyse Site traffic and improve our services. We may also aggregate such information to create statistical data and we may share that information (or its non-aggregated form) with potential advertisers, partners, affiliates and other third parties. At no point, however, do we access any personally identifiable facts in this process. We do not collect personally identifiable information from visitors to our Sites or users of our Apps unless it is provided to us voluntarily and knowingly by accepting the use of cookies.
Cookies
In addition to the information described above, our website use “cookies.” Cookies are small text files from a website that are stored on your hard drive. These small text files make using a website or App more convenient by saving your passwords and preferences for you. Cookies may contain Personal Information. We may analyse the information derived from these cookies and match such information with data provided by you or another party. We may provide our analysis and certain non-Personal Information to potential partners, advertisers (who may use this information to provide advertisements or other information tailored to your interests) or other third parties, but we will not disclose any Personal Information, except as provided in this Privacy Policy.
You have the option of deciding whether or not to accept a cookie by resetting your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is being sent to your hard drive. You may also delete a cookie manually from your hard drive. Please note, however, that some parts of our Sites or use of our Apps may not function properly or may be considerably slower if you refuse to accept a cookie or choose to disable your cookies settings.
USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS (THIS TEXT IS PROVIDED BY GOOGLE, INC)
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer to help the website analyse how you use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

GOOGLE ADWORDS/DOUBLE CLICK
Advertising shown by us is based on the interest in products our customers previously exhibited. We record information about our customers’ surfing patterns for purposes of providing them with interest-based online advertising. For this, cookies are stored on the respective user’s computer; these contain a multiple-digit identification number. If you do not agree with having your user behaviour analysed, you can adjust your browsers settings so as to prevent analysis cookies from being set. Please note, however, that this may prevent you from being able to use in full all the functions of this website.
The search engine program Google AdWords, provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; Google), facilitates the systematic display on our website of advertising based on Google search terms. For this, Google sets a cookie in the user’s browser as soon as an advert appearing in the Google search or advertising network is clicked on.
USE OF THE FACEBOOK CUSTOM AUDIENCE SERVICE BASED ON FACEBOOK PIXELS
Our website uses the so-called Facebook pixel created by the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are resident in the EU, by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). This tool serves to present users of our website with advertising (“Face-book ads”) that matches their interests during their visits to Facebook. In this way we ensure that our Facebook ads correspond with the interests of the respective users and are therefore not perceived as a nuisance. We also use the Facebook pixel to track how many users click on our Facebook ads. This enables us to assess the effectiveness of those ads, which is useful for statistical and market research purposes. The Facebook pixel is activated by Facebook as soon as you open our website. It can store so-called cookies on your computer. If you log into Facebook after visiting our website, or visit Facebook while still logged in, then Facebook will assign this information to your personal Facebook account. The data recorded about you in no way allows us to draw inferences regarding your identity as a user. The collection and processing of the data by Facebook complies with the provisions of the Facebook Data Policy. For more information in this respect, please go to: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. You can, at any time, object to the recording of data by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data to present Facebook ads. To do so, please visit the page specially set up by Facebook for this purpose (when there, see the settings for use-based advertising), while you are still logged in to Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/settings. The settings are platform-independent, meaning that they will be assumed for all devices, whether desktop computers or mobile devices.
Other Sites
Our Sites and Apps may contain links to other websites that are not controlled or maintained by T&G. We are not responsible for the privacy practices employed by these other websites. We encourage you to note when you leave our Sites or move from our App to a third-party website and to read the privacy statements of such other websites before submitting any Personal Information. In addition, our Sites and Apps may link to websites owned or operated by subsidiaries or companies affiliated with T&G (“Affiliated Sites”). Please note that the Affiliated Sites may also be subject to the terms of use and policies posted on those sites.
Transfer of Assets
As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires us or all or substantially all of our assets, Personal Information, non-Personal Information, and any other information that we have collected about the users of our Sites and Apps may be transferred to such entity as one of the transferred assets. Also, if any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding is brought by or against us, all such information may be considered an asset of ours and as such may be sold or transferred to third parties.
Transfer to third countries
Third countries are countries outside the European Economic Area. The European Economic Area comprises all countries of the European Union as well as the countries of the so-called European Free Trade Association, which are Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. If you use our services, we transmit your personal data to T&G Global Limited in New Zealand. The transfer of your data to a third country is based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission. If no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists for the respective third country, then the transfer to that third country will take place subject to appropriate safeguards as per Art. 46 (2) GDPR. You can request copies of the aforementioned safeguards from T&G (see “Contact”).
Storage duration/criteria for storage duration
T&G stores your personal data until they are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. Where T&G is under legal obligation to store personal data, it will store personal data for the preservation period stipulated by law.
Your rights
RIGHTS PURSUANT TO ART. 15 – 18, 20 GDPR
You have the right to, at reasonable intervals, obtain information about your personal data under storage (Art. 15 GDPR). The information you are entitled to includes information about whether or not T&G has stored personal data concerning you, about the categories of personal data concerned, and about the purposes of the processing. Upon request, T&G will provide you with a copy of the personal data that are processed. You also have the right to obtain from T&G the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you (Art. 16 GDPR). You furthermore have the right to obtain from T&G the erasure of personal data concerning you (Art. 17 GDPR). We are under obligation to erase personal data in certain circumstances, including if the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, if you withdraw the consent on which the processing is based, and if the personal data have been unlawfully processed. Under certain circumstances, you have the right to have the processing of your personal data restricted (Art. 18 GDPR). These include circumstances in which you contest the accuracy of your personal data and we then have to verify such accuracy. In such cases, we must refrain from further processing your personal data, with the exception of storage, until the matter has been clarified. Should you opt to change to a different vehicle rental company, you have the right either to receive, in a machine-readable format, the data that you provided to us based on your consent or on a contractual agreement with us, or to have us transmit, also in a machine-readable format, such data to a third party of your choice (Right to data portability, Art. 20 GDPR).
RIGHT TO OBJECT PURSUANT TO ART: 21 GDPR
If the processing of your data by T&G is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point (e) GDPR) or if it is necessary in the legitimate interests of T&G, then you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your data. T&G will then end the processing, unless we can present compelling legitimate grounds for such processing that supersede the grounds for ending the processing. You may object, at any time and without restriction, to the processing of your personal data for purposes of direct advertising.
RIGHT TO WITHDRAW CONSENT AT ANY TIME
If data processing at T&G is based on your consent, then you have the right to, at any time, withdraw the consent you granted. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing between the time consent was granted and the time it was revoked.
RIGHT TO COMPLAIN
You have the right to file a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority.
