How we collect your information
We will only collect information relevant to our business relationship with you. This includes information necessary to provide you with goods and services you have requested, information necessary to protect or enforce our legal rights or interests, or information required by law.
The information we collect will depend on the services that you use, and is likely to include your name, address, contact telephone numbers, email address, drivers' licence, and credit card details. We may also ask your age group so that we can provide you with the correct cost of insurance for your rental.
We also collect information about your use of our products, services and special offers. We may ask you to provide other details voluntarily from time to time to enable us to improve our service or consider the wider needs of our customers or potential clients.
Wherever possible we will collect your personal information directly from you. If your personal information is collected from a third party we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are aware that this has been done.
We consider it is the responsibility of parents to monitor their children's use of our website. Nevertheless, it is our notice not to require personal information from persons known to be under the age of 18 years old or offer to send any promotional material to persons in that category.

Disclosing Your Information
We respect the privacy of your personal information and we will take all reasonable steps to keep it confidential.

We do provide your information to other select organisations that perform certain functions for us. We bind these suppliers to the same standard of care as we do ourselves so that they cannot provide your information to anyone else.
