International Data Transfers, EU-US Privacy Shield

The love of cars is international and so are we. We provide specific protections for any personal data received from Europe. DriveShare relies on Standard Contractual Clauses or derogations under the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) for any personal data transfers to the United States. DriveShare participates in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework (“Privacy Shield”), and has self-certified with the Department of Commerce that we follow the Privacy Shield Principles.

We will not discriminate against any person exercising any of these rights. These rights may be limited by law.

If we receive a “do not track” signal from your internet browser we don’t currently change anything because professionals and lawmakers have not agreed on what can and should be done.
