Personal information means any information that identifies an individual, household, or device.

If your car, or a car you rent through the marketplace, includes an in-car device, DRIVESHARE will log and retain information recorded by the in-car device. This information includes location, mileage and other aspects of your use of the car during a rental period. If the in-car device is operated by a third party service, e.g. ZenDrive, that service may record information about your use of the car.
We do our best to protect your personal information. We use firewalls, encryption and Transport Layer Security (TLS). We use current technology and tools to keep your information safe. But nothing is perfect so please be careful and use strong passwords.

You have several rights concerning your personal information. Specifically, you have the right:
We will not discriminate against any person exercising any of these rights. These rights may be limited by law.
