Cookies, tracking technologies, and other electronic tools are used. A “cookie” is a short text file

Website. Web beacons are also used in certain email communications. Carly employs cookies and
other tracking technologies to manage your settings, customize and distribute content and
advertising, offer social networking services, and evaluate Website user data.
We may employ both “session cookies” (which expire when the browser is closed or the machine
is switched off) and “persistent cookies” (which remain active until removed). You may control
website cookies by changing your cookie choices or by using the pop-up at the bottom of a website,
and you always have the option to change these settings by accepting, rejecting, or removing
cookies. If you modify your preferences, you may discover that certain Websites or Services
functionalities and features may not perform as intended.

functionality and cannot be disabled. Session cookies, for example, are required to transmit the
Website, as are login cookies and security cookies.

media platforms. Because these cookies are not under our control, you should read the privacy
policies of each social networking site to understand how they function.

learn their preferences and target specialized marketing to them. Carly may choose to contract with
third-party advertising networks that gather IP addresses and other information from web beacons
on our websites, emails, and third-party websites now or in the future.
Useful cookies.
These cookies allow us to tailor our website content to a user’s preferences. They

on the website, allowing us to better understand and develop our website.
We may also get some third-party cookies from your system or device if you use the Services.
Cookies placed by sites, applications, and/or entities other than Carly are referred to as third-party
cookies. Within the Services, third-party cookies may be employed.
Data Collected from Third Parties:
Services provided by a third party. If you choose to use our Services through a third-party site or
service, the third-party service may give us information from that service, such as your registration
and profile information. The information we may obtain varies per service and is managed by the
provider in question. By linking a third-party account to your Carly account and granting Carly
access to this data, you agree that Carly may gather, store, and use this data in accordance with
this Statement. We are not liable for how third parties use or disclose your information. To learn
more about how those third parties, use and distribute your personal information, please see their
privacy policies.
Background check services.
To the extent permitted by law, we may get background information
about you from sex offender registries, public records, background check providers, and other
screening services. Credit reports, facts on previous criminal convictions, and credit reports are
examples of such information. We may use your information, including your full name and birth
date, to get such reports.
Devices installed in a car by any third party.
If your vehicle, or a vehicle you book through the
Services, has an in-vehicle device or system that is controlled by a third-party service or installed
by the host, that service or host may record data about your usage of the automobile. These devices
or systems may monitor the condition, performance, and operation of the vehicle, as well as track
fuel usage, distance traveled, position, and other data. The host and/or third-party services will be
completely liable for how such information is used, although they may share such information
with Carly, who will handle it in line with this Statement.
We may obtain additional information about you from credit bureaus and other third-party data
sources, as well as demographic and fraud detection data, to the extent allowed by relevant law.
We could merge the data we already have on you with the information we get from outside sources.
Usage of Your Personal Data:
We treat your Personal Data for the following reasons in compliance with relevant legislation,
using the following legitimate basis.
legitimate objectives of a third party or of Carly;
the requirement to carry out a deal with you;
Respect for relevant laws, rules, or court orders; and
Express permission (as needed by applicable legislation) for the use of your data (in cases
where we rely on your consent, you can revoke it by contacting us as described below).
We may use your personal data to validate your identity or confirm information you submit, such
as during the account setup and password reset processes, as well as to handle disputes, collect
payments, and fix issues.
The following typical cases are recognized as having such legal bases:
While operating our Website or providing you with our Services (to host or guest.)
For registration purposes.
While entertaining your supports request or when you contact us with any question.
While applying for a job with us.
For compliance of any terms or policies posted by us.

In compliance with any legal obligation.
Your personal information may be used by us to evaluate and enhance the Services, as well as to
create new goods and services. One way we may do this is by looking at the demographics of the
Services’ users. With your data, we could also produce aggregated, de-identified, or other
anonymous data. We remove information that would allow us to identify you personally to turn
personal information into anonymous data. For legitimate business objectives, such as monitoring
and enhancing the Services and promoting our enterprise, we may use and disclose this anonymous
data to other parties.
We use your personal information as we consider it necessary or reasonable to comply with
relevant laws, legitimate demands, and legal procedures, such as responding to subpoenas or
requests from government agencies. In rare situations, we may expressly request your consent for
processing your identifiable data.
Disclosure of Personal Information:
We may disclose your information at your request or with your permission. However, we will
share your information in the following ways.
Profiles, Listings, and Other Forums:
Basic details like your user ID or name linked to your account, your public profile photo, and, for
hosts, the city in which your vehicle is located, your listing description, your calendar availability,
transaction-related data so that our community can assess your responsiveness and dependability,
and reviews or comments about you will always be included on your public listing page on the
Services. Information regarding your cancellations and aggregate demand data, such as the total
number of page visits over time, may also be included on your public listing page. The approximate
geographic location of your vehicle’s pick-up may also be displayed by the Services.
The Services enable search engines to locate your online profile and public listing pages, which
means that search engines may search and display your public profile and public listing pages as
results from searches.
To Purchaser:
In the event of bankruptcy or dissolution, or in connection with a business transaction such as a
corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, a restructuring, or sale of assets, we may
sell, exchange, or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your personally
identifiable information.
With Legal Team:
We may share your personal information to professional advisers such as attorneys, bankers,
auditors, and insurers as needed in the course of their professional services to us.
With different Providers:
We may share information with suppliers and service providers that help us run our Services and
business and require access to such information to accomplish their jobs. In some situations, the
service provider may collect information directly from you on our behalf. Your contact details will
be exchanged with the photographer appointed to picture your car if you opt to use our photography
service. These service providers may only use your personal information as we request
or authorize.
Published Data:
We may disclose limited information on leadership teams and key people to other business
professionals via our Services.

We may release information gathered automatically and passively via various technologies on our

media network, we may reveal to the third-party platform or social media network personal
information that is required to allow the connection or that you have permitted us to release. We
have no control over how third parties take your personal information.
Between Host and Guest:
We make it possible for car owners to rent out and share their vehicles with other people. If you
accept a booking made via the Services, we may provide the other party in that transaction access
to your information as long as it’s reasonably needed to complete the transaction. For instance, we
could provide us access to your cell phone number to help you communicate, the details on your
driver’s license to verify your identity and license validity, or your picture to help you identify
yourself. We will also give the other party access to the vehicle’s address and, if relevant, the
planned delivery location. If you utilized the Trip Photo feature, we could provide the other party
access to the trip photographs you post along with the captions you attach. Text messages from
the other party may also be sent to you (for example, to confirm pickup or delivery location).
Standard phone minute rates, as well as text and data charges, may apply.

In order to comply with laws, regulations, and legal processes, we may share Personal Data to
other parties.
