The operator processes the personal data of the data subjects in the information system, which is jointly operated by the owners and holders of Payless licenses - other operators (with the exception of data obtained from GPS monitoring devices that are processed in the operator's special information system). Under this processing, personal data are transmitted within EU countries (the premises of the operators concerned), with individual operators obliged to ensure an adequate level of security for the personal data being processed.

The data subject is required to provide only an email address to which they have authorized and secure access. If the data subject provides an email address to which a third party has or may have access, or if they fail to ensure adequate protection of their email account, passwords, device, or authentication factors, they bear the associated risks and consequences. The controller is not liable for the consequences resulting from a breach of these obligations by the data subject if the controller has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures and the agreed method of identity verification.

 

Why does the controller process personal data?

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

  • pre-contractual and contractual relations   in particular for the purposes of processing and sending price offers, reservations, preparation and conclusion of contracts and fulfillment of contractual obligations of the operator, especially within lease agreements, lease agreements, framework agreements related to contract management, receipt and handover of guides, complaints, invoicing, etc. The provision of personal data by the data subject is a contractual requirement. Failure to provide personal data will not make it possible to enter into a contractual relationship with the data subject.

Giving consent is voluntary. In order to unambiguously identify the data subject, the controller may, to the extent appropriate, also use electronic verification mechanisms, in particular verification of the email address, sending a one-time authorization code, a verification link, or another security feature, and recording the result of such verification.

  • security, protection of property and financial interests   resulting from the concluded contractual relationship and the legitimate interest of the operator derived from it. For this purpose, selected leased vehicles are secured by monitoring their location via satellite tracking (GPS) (tracing of leased vehicles during their use and after theft). The processing of personal data (resulting from the obtained information on the occurrence of the vehicle) occurs if the rented motor vehicle is used by a single natural person, ie if at the time of using 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 obtained GPS information about the occurrence of the vehicle and the derivable characteristics of the person concerned. When taking over the vehicle, the lessee is informed that the rented vehicle is equipped with a GPS monitoring device.

For this purpose, the controller may process, in particular, the data subject’s identification, contact, contractual, transactional, and communication data, including the content of communications, data on the course and result of identity verification, data on the authentication elements used, and technical records of communications. For the purpose of identity verification, the controller may use the email address provided by the data subject as an identifier and send to it, or via another agreed communication channel, a one-time authorization code, verification link, or other security element as part of two-factor authentication. The provision of this data is a contractual or pre-contractual requirement; without it, it may not be possible to process the data subject’s request, enter into a contractual relationship, or securely provide access to information regarding the reservation or rental.
