Legal Bases for Processing

We process personal data of EEA residents under the following legal bases:

Contractual Necessity

Processing necessary to fulfil a rental booking or other service you have requested from us.

Legal Obligation

Processing required to comply with laws applicable to our business, including tax regulations and road safety requirements.

Legitimate Interests

Processing for our legitimate business interests, such as improving our services, preventing fraud, and maintaining security, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.

Consent

Where required, we obtain your explicit consent before processing certain types of data, such as marketing communications.

Your Rights Under GDPR

As an EEA resident, you have the following rights:

Right of Access

You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information within one month of your request.

Right to Rectification

You can ask us to correct any inaccurate personal data or complete incomplete data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can ask us to limit how we use your data while we address a concern you have raised about accuracy or our processing activities.

Right to Data Portability

You can request your personal data in a structured, commonly used format to transfer to another service provider.

Right to Object

You can object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affect you.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected] with your request. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

We will respond to all legitimate requests within one month. If your request is complex, we may extend this period by up to two additional months, but we will inform you of any such extension.

International Transfers

As we are based in Australia, personal data collected from EEA residents is transferred outside the EEA. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, which may include:

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Rental transaction records are typically retained for seven years to comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

Complaints

If you believe we have not handled your personal data properly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For EEA residents, this would be the data protection authority in your country of residence.

Updates to This Information

We may update this GDPR information from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Please check this page periodically for updates.
