United Rental Group, s.r.o., Ivánska cesta 4358/43, Bratislava 821 04 ID No.: 44 560 940, registered in the Commercial Register of the District Court Bratislava I, Section Sro, Insert No. 56233/B (hereinafter referred to as the "Operator") in accordance with Article 13 of REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27. April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter also referred to as the "General Data Protection Regulation") provides the following information to data subjects on the processing of personal data:

The controller processes the personal data of data subjects in an information system jointly operated by the owners and licensees of AVIS - other controllers (except for data collected from GPS monitoring devices, which are processed in a separate information system of the controller). In the context of this processing, personal data are transferred within EU countries (the locations of the respective controllers), with the individual controllers being obliged to ensure an adequate level of security of the personal data processed.

why does the controller process personal data?

The controller processes the personal data of data subjects for the purposes of:

  • pre-contractual and contractual relations, in particular for the purposes of processing and sending quotations, bookings, preparation and conclusion of contracts and the performance of the contractual obligations of the controller, in particular in the context of lease agreements, rental agreements, framework agreements related to contract management, takeover and handover of the lead, complaints procedures, invoicing, etc... The provision of personal data by the data subject is a contractual requirement. Failure to provide personal data will prevent the conclusion of a contractual relationship with the data subject.
  • Theunambiguous identification of the data subject on the basis of the consent given by the data subject before making photocopies of the data subject's official documents and/or other electronically made and recorded copies and descriptions of official documents (scanning of documents, authentication of documents stored on electronic media, etc.), provided that the controller, in justified cases, requests such copies of official documents from the data subject. The provision of consent is voluntary.
  • security, protection of property and financial interests arising from the contractual relationship entered into and the legitimate interest of the controller derived therefrom. To this end, selected rental vehicles are secured by monitoring their location via satellite tracking (GPS) (tracking of rental vehicles during their use and after their theft). The processing of personal data (resulting from the vehicle location information obtained) occurs if the rented motor vehicle is used by a single natural person, i.e. if at the time of use of the rented motor vehicle the operator is able to identify a specific natural person and the vehicle is equipped with a monitoring device. In this case, personal data will be processed to the extent of the GPS information obtained about the occurrence of the vehicle and the inferable characteristics of the data subject. The hirer is informed when taking delivery of the vehicle that the hired vehicle is equipped with a GPS monitoring device.
  • the recovery of damages and claims incurred, the settlement of insurance claims, the storage of documentation and records made and on the basis of other necessary legitimate interests of the operator.

How do I legally provide personal data about another natural person?

  • The provision of personal data to the controller about another natural person, even without the consent of the natural person, may be made by the lessor, who is the employer of the natural person, solely in connection with the establishment of pre-contractual and contractual relations related to the rental of the vehicle and only to the extent that: title, first name, surname, job classification, job title, functional classification, employee's personal number or employee number, professional department, place of work, telephone number, fax number, workplace e-mail address and employer identification data, if necessary in connection with the performance of the job duties, official duties or functional duties of the person concerned. The disclosure of personal data shall not undermine the dignity, respect and safety of the data subject.
  • Providing personal data to the controller about another natural person, even without his consent, is only permitted by the natural person who is the lessor in accordance with applicable law and the terms and conditions of the contract only if he thereby protects his legally protected interests, e.g. in the event of an insurance claim.
  • In other cases, the data subject is only obliged to provide the controller with the personal data of another natural person with his or her consent, which he or she is obliged to provide to the controller. By providing the data of another natural person, the data subject expressly declares that he or she has adequate authorisation to provide the personal data of that person to the controller.

for what periods are personal data STORED?

  • Personal data obtained from vehicle monitoring is retained for a period of 2 years after the proper termination of the contractual relationship.
  • Photocopies of official documents are kept for the duration of the contractual relationship and are destroyed within 3 years at the latest, unless they are used by the controller on the basis of legitimate interests (e.g. in the context of dealing with damage, insurance claims and theft).
  • Personal data processed for other purposes are retained for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of their processing as determined by specific legislation or in the context of the legitimate interest of the controller, but no longer than 10 years and only to the extent necessary for the purposes of keeping accounting records.

to which recipients is the personal data provided?

  • To control authorities in the performance of their activities within the meaning of a specific legal regulation (e.g. Slovak Trade Inspection),
  • Courts and law enforcement authorities at their request or in the context of the legitimate interests of the controller,
