Disclosure of Your Information

We may disclose your personal information in the following ways:

  • With your consent. We may share your information at your direction or with your consent. 
  • Profiles, listings, and other public information. Your public listing page on the Services will always include some basic information, such as your user ID or name associated with your account, your public profile photo, and for Owners, the city where your trailer is located, your listing description, your calendar availability, transaction related information to allow our community to evaluate your reliability and responsiveness, and reviews or feedback about you. Your public listing page may also include aggregate demand information (such as number of page views over a period of time) and information about your cancellations. The Services may also display the approximate geographic pick-up location of your trailer. The Services allow your public profile and public listing pages to be included in search engines, in which case your public profile and public listing pages may be indexed by search engines and may be published as search results on third-party sites.
  • Sharing between Owners and Renters. RentATrailer LLC enables Owners to offer and share their trailers with Renters. If you agree to a booking through the Services, we may provide your information to the other party in that transaction as reasonably necessary to facilitate the transaction. For example, RentATrailer LLC may provide your mobile phone number to facilitate communication, your driver's license information to confirm license validity, or your photograph to facilitate identification. We will also share the address of the vehicle and, if applicable, the proposed delivery location with the other party. The other party may also send you text messages (such as to confirm pickup or delivery location). Standard telephone minute and text and data charges may apply.
  • Service providers. We may share information with third-party vendors and service providers who support the operation of the Services and business and who need access to such information to carry out their work for us (including, for example, web hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery, marketing, insurance, claims administration, and customer support services). In some cases, the service provider may directly collect the information from you on our behalf. These service providers may use your personal information only as directed or authorized by us.
  • Third-party platforms and social media networks. If you have enabled features or functionality that connect the Services to a third-party platform or social media network (such as by logging in to the Services using your account with the third-party, providing your API key or similar access token for the Services to a third-party, or otherwise linking your Services account to a third-party’s services), we may disclose to the third-party platform or social media network the personal information necessary to facilitate the connection or that you authorized us to share. We do not control the third-party’s use of your personal information.
  • Professional advisors. We may disclose your personal information to professional advisors, such as lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers, where necessary in the course of the professional services that they render to us.
  • Business transfers. We may sell, transfer, or otherwise share some or all of our business or assets, including your personal information, in connection with a business transaction (or potential business transaction) such as a corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, or in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution.
  • Responding to legal requests, preventing harm, and protecting RentATrailer LLC’s rights. We may disclose your personal information to courts, law enforcement, governmental or tax authorities, or third-parties. We will make such disclosure to the extent we are required or permitted to do so by applicable law or where we consider such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations or legal process, to respond to claims asserted against us, and for the security and safety purposes described above. We may also disclose your information in response to valid legal requests relating to criminal investigations or alleged or suspected illegal activity or any other activity that may expose RentATrailer LLC, you, or any other User, or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of RentATrailer LLC, our Users, or others.

Your California Privacy Rights

This section applies only to California residents entitled to receive the information in this section under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"). It describes how we collect, use, and share personal information of California residents when we act as a "business" as defined under the CCPA, and their rights with respect to their personal information. For purposes of this section, "Personal Information" has the meaning given in the CCPA but does not include information excluded from the scope of the CCPA. In some cases, we may provide a different privacy notice to certain categories of California residents, such as job applicants, in which case that notice will apply instead of this section. 

As a California resident, you have the following rights:

  • Information. You can request the following information about how we have collected and used your Personal Information: 
    • The categories of Personal Information that we have collected.
    • The categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information.
    • The business or commercial purpose for collecting Personal Information.
    • The categories of third-parties with whom we share Personal Information.
    • Whether we have disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, and if so, the categories of Personal Information received by each category of third-party recipient.
    • Whether we have sold your Personal Information, and if so, the categories of Personal Information received by each category of third-party recipient.
  • Access. You can request a copy of the Personal Information that we have collected about you during the past 12 months. 
  • Deletion. You can request that we delete the Personal Information that we have collected from you by emailing us at support@rentatrailer.us.

To learn more about your California privacy rights, visit https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa. Based on our understanding of the term "sell" under the CCPA, we do not sell Personal Information to third-parties and have not sold Personal Information during the twelve months preceding the "last revised" date of this Privacy Policy. However, like many companies online, we use services provided by Google, Facebook, and others that help deliver interest-based ads to you as described in this Privacy Policy. 

You can exercise your information, access, and deletion rights by contacting us at support@rentatrailer.us. We may decline your request where required or permitted by law. We will need to confirm your identity to process your requests and we reserve the right to confirm your California residency as well. Government identification may be required. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf by providing a valid power of attorney, the requester’s valid government-issued identification, and the authorized agent’s valid government issued identification. We cannot process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to understand and respond to it. You should transmit your government-issued identification or any other sensitive information to us only as instructed. Email is not a secure means of communication and you should not email your government-issued identification or any other sensitive information to us.  

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. Any payment transactions will be handled by established and highly secure third-parties. You accept their data security processes and procedures when you use their services.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We require you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information about your use of the Site or information, including images or video, you capture and provide to the Site. The information you share may be obtained by others you did not intend to have access to know or become aware of your information.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Site. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.
