GO Rentals (Auckland) Limited ("we", "us" or "our") take our obligations in regards to privacy seriously. In this Privacy Policy (Policy), "you" and "your" means the individual providing Personal Information to us.

This Policy describes how we collect, hold, use and disclose your Personal Information in connection with our vehicle rental services. Personal Information is information relating to an individual that can be used to identify an individual or which is linked to an identified individual.

By using our website: www.gorentals.co.nz, you agree to the terms of this Policy.

Collection and use of personal information

We collect the following personal information from you

• Contact Information such as name, email address, mailing address, phone number

• Billing Information such as credit card number, and billing address

• Driver's Licence Number, including taking a copy of your Driver’s Licence

• Unique Identifiers such as user name, account number, password

• Preferences Information such as product wish lists, order history, marketing preferences

• Demographic information such as age, education, gender, interests and zip code.

As is true of most websites, we also automatically gather information about your computer such as your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and operating system.

Where you rent a vehicle, we also collect information in connection with the use of the vehicle, such as the pick up and drop-off locations of the vehicle and the distance it is driven while rented by you. If you incur a traffic infringement which is sent to us as registered owner of the vehicle, we will collect the information in the infringement notice.

Where you enter one of our photograph competitions we also collect the information submitted in connection with your photograph entry, including the photograph, the caption provided and the contact details you include with your entry, such as your name and email address.

Providing your Personal Information may be required due to a legal obligation, it may be voluntary, or may be required for us to enter a contract with you. If Personal Information we request is not provided, we may not be able to supply the relevant service to you. In particular, we will not be able to provide our vehicle rental services to you if you do not provide the information required to provide that service.

Customers, who hold New Zealand and Australian licences will be asked to conduct an electronic identity verification process. This is processed through a secure third-party verification system called APLYiD. APLYiD will collect and provide us with the information we require to determine a customer’s eligibility to hire. APLYiD’s Privacy Policy is available on its website aplyid.com.

We also collect your Personal Information through your use of our services and through your use of our website. Your Personal Information may also be collected from third parties you authorise us to contact, or as otherwise permitted by the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 (Privacy Act).

Security

The security of your personal information is important to us. The Privacy Act requires us to take reasonable steps to protect the security of Personal Information

Our personnel are required to respect the confidentiality of Personal Information and the privacy of individuals and all staff are aware of our obligations under the Privacy Act.

When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) on our order forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). We also encrypt account passwords entered during the account registration process.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Management of personal information

Personal Information collected by us is held by us.

If you are using the website or the services from outside New Zealand, please be aware that you are sending Personal Information to New Zealand where our offices are located. We may transfer Personal Information to third party service providers (including technology providers, providers of business and marketing services and providers of software tools used by us in our business) to perform services on our behalf, to process the information for us, or hold it on our behalf. These third parties may be offshore, including in Australia and the United States. Some countries where such third party service providers are based may not have privacy laws as comprehensive as in your country of residence, and for EU residents, may not have an adequacy decision by the European Commission. We will not authorise any such third party to use such information for their own purposes.

We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you our services (including where you have signed up to receive newsletters, marketing emails and research requests from us), or to meet any legal obligations we have to retain such information, including managing our obligations to you in respect of these services. Where we no longer require your Personal Information for a permitted purpose under the Privacy Act, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you services, or withdraw your consent to use your Personal Information, please contact us at info@gorentals.co.nz . We will only retain and use your information in such a case as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

If you have any questions about security on our website, you can contact us at info@gorentals.co.nz
