Consent and Legitimate Interests

By giving us your personal information, you consent to us collecting and using that information in the ways that we describe in this privacy policy and / or that you have specifically consented to.

Where we need your specific consent, we will always ensure that you are as fully informed as possible at the time on what we do with your information, with whom it may be shared and how long we will keep it. This is in line with the requirements of the relevant legislation. You can alter your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time as described below.

A Legitimate Interests Assessment has been carried out, and it is established that there is a balanced Legitimate Interest in place with regard to those clients, prospects and partner or supplier organisations, sole traders, event attendees and other contacts with whom CitiRental has a relationship, so that we may continue to process this data without the further or renewed consent of the data subject, who may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.

Sharing of your information

Your information will not be disclosed to any third party without your permission unless there are exceptional circumstances or where the law requires information to be passed on; however, some data may be stored with a third party, for example, the website hosting provider, credit card company, banks, peer review organisations previously mentioned or the operator of the email platform, the Police, Penalty Charge issuing authority (private or local government) which may also be an overseas facility who demonstrate compliance with the relevant legislation. Basic details may be passed on to a third party providing specific services, e.g., to facilitate breakdown or recovery processes should your vehicle break down or be involved in an accident, for the purpose of that instance or occurrence solely.

Holding and storing your information

CitiRental retains personal information we collect from you where there is an ongoing legitimate service need or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements. You have a right to be ‘forgotten’ so when CitiRental has no ongoing legitimate business or commercial or operational need to process your personal information it will be deleted where this does not affect our ability to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements.

IMPORTANT | Due to the nature and complexity of the rental industry and the significant amount of legislation connected thereto, whereby authorised authorities (e.g., Police) may have the right and/or authority to request and/or demand certain data. CitiRental reserves the right to safely store (your) data for long as CitiRental or the appropriate legislation deems it necessary to comply with the various legal requirements in connection with vehicle rental and leasing. The said data cannot be deleted except at the sole discretion of CitiRental and the ‘right to be forgotten’ referred to above does not apply the holding and maintaining all or any data in connection to disclosure to an authorised body.

You have a right to ask for the processing of your personal information to be stopped if it’s not necessary for the purpose you provided it.

You have a right to ask for copies of the personal information held about you and details of how that information is used. If there are any discrepancies in the information provided, please let us know, and they will be corrected.
