Further information about the processing of Personal Data

    • Vehicle manufacturers, telematics providers

      The hire vehicle is fitted with a telemetry and/or tachograph device which we may use to track its location, to verify its mileage is within agreed terms, and to score driver behaviour. If the Vehicle is not returned to the agreed time and place, we will use the data from the device to recover the Vehicle. Tampering with the device may render the hire vehicle inoperable.

      Responsibility for protecting data held in a digital tachograph (where fitted) is the hirer's sole responsibility and we cannot be held liable in any manner whatsoever, if the hirer has not taken the necessary steps to protect the data by locking it in.

      The hire vehicle is a connected vehicle and if you connect your personal phone to the hire vehicle it could result in the transfer of your personal data to the Vehicle and the Vehicle manufacturer’s cloud servers. It will be the hirer’s sole responsibility to erase any personal information that is stored in the Vehicle before returning it, and we can assist with this (at the hirer’s request).

    • Rental database provider: White Clarke Group

      Your information will be handled and used by the White Clarke Group in order to deliver our services provided both online and offline. They have their own privacy policy.

    • Companies: privacy of employees and contractors

      Where you act as a company, your employees and contractors could be brought into the scope of this policy. Please inform them of this policy so that they may review it and understand their rights.

    • Requesting Deletion of Personal Data

      To request deletion of your personal data, please email your request to privacy@county-rental.co.uk

      You will be asked to verify your identity, after which your account will be deleted (if no transactions have taken place). Where transactions have already taken place on your account, the account will be disable, but minimal information will be retained to enable us to comply with relevant legislation. Other data will be removed or anonymised. Data retained due to legal restrictions will be deleted after the legally required retention periods have passed.

    • Automated decision-making

      Automated decision-making means that a decision which is likely to have legal effects or similarly significant effects on the User, is taken solely by technological means, without any human intervention. This Website may use the User's Personal Data to make decisions entirely or partially based on automated processes according to the purposes outlined in this document. This Website adopts automated decision-making processes as far as necessary to enter into or perform a contract between User and Owner, or on the basis of the User’s explicit consent, where such consent is required by the law.
      Automated decisions are made by technological means – mostly based on algorithms subject to predefined criteria – which may also be provided by third parties.
      The rationale behind the automated decision making is:

      • to enable or otherwise improve the decision-making process;
      • to grant Users fair and unbiased treatment based on consistent and uniform criteria;
      • to reduce the potential harm derived from human error, personal bias and the like which may potentially lead to discrimination or imbalance in the treatment of individuals etc.;
      • to reduce the risk of User's failure to meet their obligation under a contract. To find out more about the purposes, the third-party services, if any, and any specific rationale for automated decisions used within this Website, Users can check the relevant sections in this document.

      Consequences of automated decision-making processes for Users and rights of Users subjected to it

      As a consequence, Users subject to such processing, are entitled to exercise specific rights aimed at preventing or otherwise limiting the potential effects of the automated decisions taken.
      In particular, Users have the right to:

      • obtain an explanation about any decision taken as a result of automated decision-making and express their point of view regarding this decision;
      • challenge a decision by asking the Owner to reconsider it or take a new decision on a different basis;
      • request and obtain from the Owner human intervention on such processing.

      To learn more about the User’s rights and the means to exercise them, the User is invited to consult the section of this document relating to the rights of the User.
