Last updated May 2017
Imoova (ABN: 21106569199) in Australia and its related entities including imoova recognises the importance of protecting the privacy of personal information we collect about you.
The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), Australian Privacy Principles and registered privacy codes in Australia in addition to the Privacy Act of 1993 in New Zealand and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) of 1967 in the USA govern the way in which we must manage your personal information. This Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage your personal information.
This Privacy Policy should be reviewed periodically so that you are updated on any changes.
Your Personal Information
Personal Information is any information or opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information or opinion is true or not, and whether the information or opinion is stored in a material form or not.
We only collect personal information that is directly related to, or reasonably necessary for, our functions and activities. The types of personal information we usually collect include your name, address, phone number, email address and certain internet-related details (see below) and other information relevant to providing you with the information or services you are, or someone else you know is, seeking.
Wherever practicable, we will enable you to deal with us anonymously or pseudonymous, however, in many cases it is not practicable to interact in this way.
If you choose not to provide some of your personal details, this may prevent us from providing our services to you or limit our ability to provide the level of service you would normally expect from us.
How we collect Personal Information
Personal information will generally be collected directly from you when you rent a vehicle through the use of any of our standard forms, our dealings with you over the internet, via email, or through a telephone conversation. The service that you use will determine exactly what information we collect. The information may include your: name; address; contact telephone number(s); contact facsimile number(s); date of birth; country of Residence; credit card number(s) and expiry date(s); email address; company name and employee number; reservations and rental details including dates, times and places of vehicle hire; and There may, however, be some instances where personal information about you will be collected indirectly because it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect personal information directly from you. For example we may collect personal information through a travel agent, a corporate program or through one of our partner programs. We will usually notify you about these instances in advance, or where that is not possible, as soon as reasonably practicable after the information has been collected.
If you access our website, we may collect additional personal information about you in the form of your IP address and domain name. Our website uses cookies.

We may disclose your personal information to other related and non-related organisations including: - campervan, RV and car rental companies ; - our contracted service providers; - credit card providers; - credit reporting and fraud checking agencies where necessary to register a default; - debt collection agencies, in the event of your default in payment of monies owed to us; - city councils and government or private organisations responsible for the processing or handling of traffic related infringements; - driver licensing authorities; - government, regulatory and law enforcement agencies where the disclosure is required or authorised by law, dealing with complaints or enquiries; and providing you with information about other services we provide, or services that our related entities and other organisations that we have affiliations with, offer that may be of interest to you.

- where you have consented;
- where the secondary purpose is directly related to the primary purpose, and you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information in such a way;
- where we are permitted or required by law;
- it is in the interests of public safety to do so.
