We only collect and use personal data from our users which is necessary to provide a functional service for our website and for the content of our services.
Personal data is information that can be associated with you as an individual. Examples include your name, address, postal address, telephone number and email address. Non-personal data is information such as the number of users of a website or service.
Personal data is collected via this website if you provide it to us on your own initiative and consent, e.g. by registering, filling out forms, sending emails or by booking a DriveNow vehicle. We use this data for the purposes indicated in each case or resulting from the enquiry, thus for example the reservation enquiry for handling your reservation requests. Transmission to third parties will only take place if this is expressly permitted by law or if you have agreed to the transmission within the framework of your registration or during an active business relationship. Apart from this, you can principally use the general information on www.drive-now.com without disclosing your personal data.
3.3 Legal basis for the processing of personal data
3.4 Data erasure and storage time
Your master data is kept for the duration of the contract. After you have initiated the termination of the business relationship, the data will be kept for a maximum of 4 years from your last transaction. If we initiate the termination of the business relationship for security reasons or due to bankruptcy, we will keep your data for a maximum of 5 years after your last transaction.
3.5 Security, TLS technology
We have taken technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, in particular against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. These security measures are continually updated in line with technological developments. The transmission of personal data between your computer or mobile device and our server is always encrypted (TLS procedure, Transport Layer Security).
In the following we describe the processing of data within the registration process.
Our website offers users the option to register by entering personal data. As part of this process, the data is entered into an input screen, transmitted to us, and saved. We do not share data with third parties. The following personal data is collected as part of this registration process:
- Name, address, date of birth, e-mail address, mobile phone number, payment data as well as a PIN selected by you, answer to security question, and a password
In addition, the following personal data is collected:
Your data, with the exception of your IP address, will be stored for the entire period of the contract performance, not to exceed 4 or 5 years, depending on the manner in which the business relationship was terminated as set forth in Item 3.4. After the expiration of these periods, all data relating to your person will be permanently deleted, unless there are legally mandated retention periods. During the retention period, data relating to your person that is required to meet commercial and fiscal obligations will be completely blocked and will no longer be accessible for further data processing activities. We will delete your IP address after six months in all cases.
The legal basis for the processing of this data, which is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
5. Driver license verification

As an alternative, you can also use the DLCS Tool offered on our website for driver license verification. To this end, we use the data you specified as part of your registration as well as a copy of your driver license (front and back) for review by our staff. After the verification, the data that was processed for this purpose will be deleted.
The legal basis for processing this data, which is required for contract performance or to carry out pre-contractual activities, is Art. 6 (1), lit. b, GDPR.
In the following we describe data processing in the context of the use of Google Maps.
6.1 Google Maps application
This website, as well as the DriveNow application, use Google Maps API applications. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website or on our app and enables you to conveniently use the map function. This application is essential for the functionality and complete provision of our content and services. You can view Google's Terms of Use here: https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en. The additional terms of use for Google Maps/Google Earth can be found here https://www.google.com/intl/en-US_US/help/terms_maps.html. You can find Google's privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. We use Google Maps to determine the current location of our vehicles and to show you the nearest available vehicle. In addition, we use Google Maps to translate geo-positions into addresses and to show you the estimated walking distance to the selected vehicle. After your approval, we will use Google Maps to show your planned arrival location and the remaining arrival time for handover to a subsequent customer on our app. We do not share this information with Google. This data will only be transmitted to Google anonymously. It cannot, therefore, be traced back to you.
6.2 Legal basis
In the following, we describe processing procedures within the framework of using cookies in detail.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive by a web server. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. There is a distinction made between two different types of cookies. Session cookies are deleted as soon as you end the session. Temporary and permanent cookies are stored on the data carrier for a longer period or indefinitely.
7.2 Data in the context of the use of cookies
No personal data is stored in the cookies we use. The cookies we use are also not combined with personal data. In this respect, these cookies cannot be attributed to any particular person. When a cookie is activated, it only receives an identification number. Personal data such as name, IP address, etc. are not assigned to this identification number at any time. Using cookie technology, we only receive anonymous information, such as which pages of our website have been visited, etc.
7.3 Use of session cookies
Most of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies, which are necessary to keep your visit consistent, i.e. to ensure that, for example, no renewed login is required and that your preferences or other information already entered during the reservation request are retained during the session. In addition, we need session cookies to ensure that a specific offer that you have clicked on will be assigned to your request (e.g. for promotional offers). These session cookies are automatically deleted when the session ends. In addition, we use cookies when you visit the website subsequently to detect if you are particularly interested in certain offers, which allows us to display such targeted offers on the site. This assignment is only made using abstract criteria (e.g. "BMW") and not on a personal basis. These cookies have a lifetime of one year and are then automatically deleted.
7.4 Onsite targeting
Our website uses cookie technology to collect data to simplify our website. This tells us how the website is used and enables us to constantly optimise our offering. The following data is processed:
- Search terms used
This data is used exclusively for anonymous evaluation of the use of the website and is never merged with the personal data stored by us. Using the information obtained through clickstream analysis, we make our website as attractive as possible in order to best meet our customers' needs.
7.5 Re-marketing/re-targeting and web analysis
We use so-called re-marketing/re-targeting to make online offers more relevant for Internet users and to consistently improve our promotional offers and marketing measures. This technology allows us to reach out to Internet users who have already shown interest in our website with DriveNow advertising via advertising banners or ads on the websites of our partners. To this end, the users’ stored surfing behaviour is analysed with an analytical tool on the basis of an algorithm. The display of our advertising on the websites of our partners relies on cookies and the analysis of usage behaviour on the website. The advertisement displays are completely anonymous. At no time are personal data saved or user profiles combined with personally identifiable data. For this purpose, we use cookies by the following third-party vendors:

7.5.4 Google Re-marketing
Our website uses the re-marketing function of Google AdWords, a service provided by Google Inc.,1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This technology enables us to place automatically generated, target-group-specific advertisements on our website after your visit. The ads are based on the products and services that you clicked on during your last visit to our website.
Google uses cookies to generate interest-based advertisements. Google generally saves information such as your web request, IP address, browser type, browser language, and the date and time of your request. This information is used only for allocating the web browser to a specific computer. It cannot be used to identify a person.
If you don’t wish to receive user-based advertising from Google, you can opt out of advertisements in the Google display settings.
Further information about Google’s use of cookies can be found in the Google privacy statement at the following link: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
We place Google AdWords advertisements to draw attention to our products. In the scope of this activity, we use Google conversion tracking, a service provided by Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. These advertisements are displayed when users enter search queries on the websites of the Google advertising network. We have the option to combine our advertisements with certain search terms. We use cookies to place advertisements based on the prior visits of a user on our website.
When a user clicks on an advertisement, Google saves a cookie in the user’s computer. Further information on the associated cookie technology can also be found in Google’s information on website statistics and privacy regulations.
With the help of this technology, Google and we as a customer are notified when a user clicks on an advertisement and is redirected to our webpages. The information obtained in this context is exclusively used for the statistical analysis of advertising optimisation. We do not receive any information that personally identifies visitors. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page of our website that includes a conversion tag. These statistics enable us to understand which search terms led to the most frequent clicks on our ads and which advertisements resulted in a user filling out the contact form.
You can take steps to prevent the storage of the cookies required for these technologies, for example in your browser settings. In this case, your visit will not be reflected in user statistics.
You also have the option to select the types of Google ads in the display setting or to deactivate interest-based ads in the Google website. As an alternative, you can opt out of the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the Opt-Out help site of the Network Advertising Initiative. For more details, visit: http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/
However, our company and Google will continue to receive statistical information about the number of users who visited this website and when. If you do not wish to be included in these statistics, you can prevent inclusion with the help of additional browser programs (e.g. the Ghostery add-on).
This website uses Bing Ads, a program by Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft Way Redmond, WA 98052-7329, USA, which uses so-called universal event tracking (UET) for re-marketing and conversion tracking. This service saves a cookie in the website visitor’s computer if our website was found through the Bing or Yahoo search engines. Data is collected and saved in anonymous form. Based on the use of the re-marketing function, custom-tailored offers will be displayed to the user during subsequent searches in one of the above-listed search engines. You can access the Microsoft privacy statement on the handling of collected data at the following link: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement/. You can opt out of Bing Ads at any time.

The service providers process the data exclusively in accordance with our instructions and have been obliged to comply with the applicable data protection regulations. All contractors have been carefully selected and will only have access to your data to the extent and for the time required to provide the services or to the extent to which you have consented to the processing and use of your data.
Service providers in countries such as the USA or in the countries of the European Economic Area are subject to data protection that does not generally protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the Member States of the European Union. If your data is processed in a country that does not have a recognised high level of data protection such as the European Union, we use contractual regulations or other recognised instruments to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected.

13. Data protection notice in the General Terms and Conditions.
Please see the data protection information included in Item 165 of our General Terms and Conditions, which you can access at https://www.drive-now.com/se/en/gtc. This section discusses how we process your personal data, which we need to implement individual lease contracts. In addition, we explain which personal data we must process, if applicable, in case of claims for recourse. Due to our legal liability as vehicle owners and to determine non-contractual and/or non-compliant use, we may also process your personal data. When you drive one of our vehicles, we use the so-called geo-fencing system, which involves the identification of your GPS location to provide you with valuable information. This does not involve creating a route profile. We process your personal data to send you additional push notifications for targeted communication. Finally, the section contains information about processing your personal data for identity verification and credit checks.
This privacy policy may be subject to change over time. We encourage you to regularly review the privacy policy for any changes. However, we will provide you with a corresponding notification in case of significant changes. This may involve e-mail notification if necessary. This privacy policy was last updated on May 25, 2018.
