Personal information means information that identifies you as an individual, or that we can combine with readily available information to identify you as an individual.
The principle purposes for which we collect and store your personal and financial information are to process your application, allow you to reserve and use our vehicles, authorise payment, bill you, respond to your enquiries, improve our products and services and maintain your account with us.
When you use our Sites, our servers automatically log certain information about your use of our Sites, such as your IP address, your browser type, operating system, browser language and service provider. We also collect information about your activities on our Sites, such as the pages you visit or the ads or links you click on. The first time you visit one of our Sites, Your Car assigns you a unique number, which is stored in one or more cookies on your computer's hard drive. These cookies help us distinguish new visitors from returning visitors and enable us to measure the effectiveness of content on the Sites and refine and tailor that content to suit our visitors' interests. If you have joined Your Car or provided other personal information about yourself (for example, if you send us an email), your cookie ID can be associated with you personally. To learn more about cookies and how Your Car customises the content and offers for you, please see"Advertising and Personalised Content" below and our Cookie Policy.
Your Car collects information that you voluntarily submit to us, which could include your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, or a picture of you or identifying documents. This also includes information in your profile or information you provide to us via an email, or similar message, telephone call, or by other means. Your telephone calls and other correspondence with us may be recorded or monitored for quality control, training and similar purposes. By using these communication methods you are consenting to the recording or monitoring of your calls and communications with Your Car.
If you apply to join Your Car, we collect information such as personal and financial information as you proceed through the stages of our application process, membership agreement and reservation process. In addition to your name and contact information, we will also collect your driver's license number and the jurisdiction in which you are registered, credit card or other payment information and other identifying information. We may also collect information such as your driving record from regulatory bodies where you live, or from third parties. We use this information to process your application and, if you are approved, for the purposes described below. Additionally, we may also use this information to monitor or detect fraud, theft or abuse of our service.
If you join Your Car and use our services, we collect information about your searches for vehicles, reservations (dates, times, locations, etc.), your use of the Your Car service (return time, mileage, accidents, etc.) and other information stored on or reported by your computer or other mobile device which may, for example, include its motion, location and/or internet protocol address, its unique device identifier, hardware or software used, network accessed, information about other applications used, or communications/contact information of other individuals which may be available. We use this information to provide and optimise services for you, including, for example, billing you, responding to your enquiries, providing and improving our products and services, maintaining your account with us, to personalising your product experience (i.e., by understanding your preferences), and providing content and promotional offers.

From time to time, we may send marketing or other communications to you. To unsubscribe from our newsletters please contact us at privacy@yourcar.com.hk.
Your Car vehicles are equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) vehicle tracking technology and anti-theft technology that uses GPS. GPS is a network of satellites that allows us to determine the location (latitude and longitude) of Your Car vehicles during your reservation. Additionally, Your Car vehicles may also have an on-board device that may monitor the state of the vehicle from moment to moment, including its location during your reservation. This information is transmitted to Your Car and stored. Your Car uses this information for a variety of important purposes. For example, we monitor or store vehicle or GPS data to help you find a car you have reserved, to assist with roadside assistance, to ensure that a car is available at the place and time you have reserved, and to locate lost or stolen vehicles.
Your Car vehicles may be equipped with telematics data tracking technology. The use of vehicle telematics is becoming increasingly common in the automotive sector and it enables companies like YourCar to better understand how vehicles are being used, ultimately leading to better service availability for members. The telematics data tracking technology allows us to monitor driver behaviour of members, which encourages responsible and safe driving and will assist reducing fleet and operational costs. This is extremely useful if vehicles are stolen or involved in an accident, as the vehicles can be recovered swiftly, accidents can be prevented and insurance claims settled based on facts. In addition, at an anonymous and aggregated level, insight can be obtained about vehicle usage overall.
Refer a Friend. If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about Your Car, we will ask you for your friend's name and email address or telephone number. We may send your friend one or more messages inviting your friend to join Your Car. Your Car stores this information for the sole purpose of sending these communications and tracking the success of our referral program. Your friend may contact us at privacy@yourcar.com.hk to request that we remove this information from our database; however, if someone else subsequently refers the same friend, the friend's contact information may be stored again.
