Last revised: June 14, 2023

ABC AUTOCARS Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “ABC AUTOCARS”, “we”, or “us”) care about privacy and want you to be familiar with how we collect, use, process, and disclose your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices in connection with our websites and applications that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”) and our offline interactions with you in settings where we post this Privacy Policy.

Personal information we collect

We collect three categories of personal information – personal information you give us; personal information automatically collected from your use of the Services; and personal information from third-party sources.

Personal information you give us: account data, profile data, vehicle date, payment data, identity verification data, communications.

Account data. When you register for an account with us or communicate with us, we require certain personal information to open your account, such as your full name, email address, phone number and password.

Profile data. We may also ask you to provide additional profile information to use certain features of the Services which may include street addresses, phone numbers, driver’s license number, date of issuance and issuing country and/or state, profile photos, employer, city, school, biography, and date of birth. Certain parts of your profile (like your profile photos, employer, city, school, and biography) are part of your profile page and will not be publicly visible to others.

Vehicle data. We collect information you provide in relation to a vehicle such as vehicle listing details, reviews, and uploaded booking photos.

Payment data. We collect your digital payment details, bank account or payment card numbers, and transaction information in connection with a potential or actual transaction, which may be processed and stored by one or more third party payment service providers or digital payments companies.

Identity verification data. In some instances, we may collect identity verification information such as a photograph or scanned copy of a driver’s license, passport, national ID card, or payment card, last four digits of your Social Security number, social insurance number, social media account information, driver’s/motor vehicle record, insurance information, or other forms of identification information. Where we request that you withhold certain information (such as obscuring or redacting aspects of identification information), please do so.

Communications. When you communicate with ABC AUTOCARS, including via phone, email, or chat, or use the Services, we collect information about your communication and any information you choose to provide.

Personal information we automatically collect: usage data, location data, device data, booking data, cookies and simalar technology

Cookies and similar technology. When you access the Services, we (including companies we work with) may place small data files on your computer or other device. These data files may be cookies, clear gifs, pixel tags, e-tags, “Flash cookies”, or other local storage provided by your browser or associated applications (collectively “Cookies”). For more detailed information on our use of these technologies, please see our policy on Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies. At this time, we do not respond to browser ‘Do-Not-Track’ signals.

Personal information we collect from third-party sources.

Third-party services. If you choose to log in to our Services through a third-party site or service (e.g., Apple, Facebook, or Google), the third-party service may send us information such as your registration and profile information from that service. The information we may receive varies by service and is controlled by the relevant service. By associating an account managed by a third party with your ABC AUTOCARS account and authorizing ABC AUTOCARS to have access to this information, you agree that ABC AUTOCARS may collect, store, and use this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for how those third parties use and share your information. Please refer to the privacy policies of those third parties to understand how they use and share your personal information.

Third-party in-vehicle devices. If your vehicle, or a vehicle you book through the Services, includes an in-vehicle device or system operated by a third-party service (including vehicle manufacturers), we may record information about your use of the car. These devices or systems may monitor the car’s condition, performance and operation, track fuel consumption, distance traveled, location, and other information. We and/or third-party service will be solely responsible for its use of such information but may disclose such information to us, which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Background check services. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, ABC AUTOCARS may collect background information about you from public records, background check providers, or other screening services, including credit reports and information about criminal convictions or from sex offender registries. We may use your information, including your full name and date of birth, to obtain such reports.

Other sources. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may receive additional information about you, such as demographic data, fraud detection information, or data from credit bureaus and other third-party data providers.

We may combine the information about you that we receive from third-party sources with other information we have about you.
