Vehicle Data Disclosures

Privacy policies are dense and difficult to read.

The number of policies, length, and legalese of these documents are difficult to read quickly in a rental car context.

Build Trust with Easy-to-Read Vehicle Privacy Report Summaries

Vehicle Privacy Report™ uses standardized icons to show what data manufacturers collect, share, or sell. It discloses manufacturer and service provider data practices, notes mobile app and Wi-Fi compatibility, and credits businesses for protecting privacy, including deleting previous drivers’ data.

Personal Data Deletions

Delete personal data after every rental

Delete renter’s navigation history, phone pairings revealing full or partial names,  contact lists, call logs, text messages, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay account information, and more after the rental concludes.

In many jurisdictions, rental companies are required by law to delete renters’ personal data after each rental period concludes.

GDPR Whitepaper

Deleting Personal Data from Vehicles:  a GDPR Obligation for Automotive Businesses

Car rental companies are Controllers under GDPR of all personal data stored in vehicles they own and cannot transfer their GDPR obligations to Data Subjects to delete their own data. 

“Upon return of the vehicle, it seems to me, the hiring company will become the Controller of any personal data stored on the vehicle’s systems, and the only thing that it can lawfully do with those data is delete them. If it re-lets the vehicle without doing so, such that the next hirer can see the previous hirer’s personal data, then there will be a strongly arguable case that the hirer has processed the data in contravention of the Art 5(1) principles.”

- Aidan Eardley, King’s Counsel of the London BAR

Further takeaways from the analysis includes:

“A Controller who relies only on the subjective experience and knowledge of individual employees may struggle to meet the requirement in (UK) GDPR Art 5(2) to demonstrate compliance. A Controller who uses a documented procedure for cleansing an on-board computer system and/or a software product designed to remove problematic data will be much better placed.”
