By providing your phone number and opting to receive messages, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described herein.
Your privacy is important to us. We created this policy to let you know about the information we collect and process about awesome people like you that use our sustainable vehicle rental services, visit our websites, use our mobile apps, buy our products, or otherwise interact with us. It applies to you regardless of where you live, but if you live in certain countries or regions where additional or other terms may apply, see the Global Privacy – Supplemental Terms section of this policy.
When you read this policy (and we hope that you will), you will learn about the kinds of information we collect about you, how we use that information, when we might disclose your information to others, and your rights and choices regarding this information.
Before we get onto the good stuff, just keep in mind that when you read this policy that by “Ridewise,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” we mean Rentals Reimagined LLC and our related companies that we own or control.
Also note that Rentals Reimagined LLC may create de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized data from your information so that it is reasonably non-identifiable to you. Where we transform data in this way, it is not within the scope of this policy.
This policy does not apply to independent third parties that may collect or control your information separately from Rentals Reimagined like our business partners and vehicle rental company’s. Please be aware that companies not part of the Rentals Reimagined family of companies are separate legal entities from Rentals Reimagined and have their own privacy policies and practices. While we encourage you to review those third-party policies, please understand that Rentals Reimagined is not responsible for those companies’ privacy policies and related legal obligations.
Except where noted in the Global Privacy – Supplemental Terms, Rentals Reimagined Rides, Inc, 70 W Willow Mist Rd, Inlet Beach, FL 32461, USA is the responsible entity (or data controller) for your information.
If you have any questions about this policy, please let us know by writing to us at privacy@Rentalsreimagined.com

Cookie Notice
What is a “Cookie?”
Almost every website uses cookie technology. We are no exception. Rentals Reimagined uses cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, social media plugins, and other similar technologies (some of which are operated by third parties) on our websites and other digital platforms to collect data (“Cookies”).
Cookies are small files that store Internet settings. A Cookie consists of a string of letters and numbers that uniquely identifies your device and collects information about your use of our website, and in some cases, other websites.
How does Cookie technology work?
The first time you visit a website, your device’s Internet browser will download the Cookies placed on the site and store them in your web browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Edge, etc.) The Cookie will collect information about your visit – things like what pages you visited, how the site performed, what ads you clicked, how you were brought to the site, account sign-on, or your preferences and settings – depending on the type of Cookie.
The next time you visit the same website with the same device, the Cookie, and the information stored in it, are sent back to the website (a first-party Cookie) or sent to another website if the Cookie is operated by a third party (a third-party Cookie). This exchange of information allows the website to know you’ve been there before and perhaps display more relevant information.
We use Cookie data to help us understand things like how many site visitors we had, how fast the pages loaded, or whether we had any performance issues, to record your preferences, personalize content and ads, and track information about the performance of our advertisements, among other purposes. We may combine this information with other information we collect from you.
What types of Cookies do you use?
Different Cookies serve different purposes. Based on the Cookie’s function and purpose, we divide them into five categories: Strictly Necessary, Performance, Functional, Advertising, and Pixels and Beacon. For more information about specific Cookies, including the identity of any third parties that receive Cookie data and the Cookie expiration dates, and to make choices regarding Cookies that are not strictly necessary, click on “Cookie Preferences” in the cookie banner on the webpage.
- Strictly Necessary.Cookies that are “strictly necessary” ensure the performance of a website. Without strictly necessary Cookies, you would not be able to use this website as intended. For example, when you open a web page, you are shown a version that corresponds to the bandwidth of the Internet connection you are using, or when traffic is high, we can switch to another server. Because these Cookies are required for the website to operate, you may not opt-out or deactivate strictly necessary cookies.
- Performance and Analytics.As the name suggests, performance Cookies collect information on how a website is used and how it performs. They tell us how many visitors we have, how they were referred to our site, how they move about on our site, whether visitors encounter error messages, how fast pages load, and measure the performance of our advertising, etc. This information helps us measure and improve the performance of our site. Performance Cookies do not save any information that permits the identification of the user and are only used to understand and improve the functionality of our websites. One of the performance Cookies we use is Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). To learn more about Google’s analytics services and to learn how to opt-out of tracking of analytics by Google visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.
- These types of Cookies enhance a website’s performance and functionality like saving details that have already been provided (e.g. username, language choices, or your location so you don’t have to enter the information later) or enabling the playback of videos. Because functional Cookies collect anonymized information, they cannot track your movement on other websites.
- These Cookies may be set on our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant ads on other sites. They are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device. When your browser connects to a third-party advertising partner’s web server, the advertising partner is able to read (or set) its own cookies on your device and may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services. This information is used to show you ads across the Internet that are tailored to your interests. If you do not allow these Cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.
- Pixels and Beacons. Pixel tags (a/k/a web beacons or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies described above. You will find invisible pixel tags embedded on web pages or within emails. We, or our service providers, may use pixel tags, among other things, to track the activities of users of our websites or mobile apps, help manage content, measure ad performance and compile statistics about usage. We or our service providers also use pixel tags in HTML emails to our customers to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
How can I control or delete Cookies?
You have the right to choose whether to accept Cookies. Please note that if you choose to refuse Cookies you may not be able to use the full functionality of the website. Here are some ways to manage Cookies:
Web Browsers
- Change your Cookie settings for at any time using the Cookie consent tool on the website.
- Control Cookies by using the Cookie settings on your browser. Note that if you use your browser settings to block all Cookies (including strictly necessary Cookies) you may not be able to use or access our site.
- Some browsers have incorporated features referred to as “Do Not Track” (DNT). DNT tells the websites you visit that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our websites do not currently respond to browser DNT signals, however, you can still control Cookies by using the other options available to you as described in this section of the Cookie Notice.
- If you accept some or all Cookies on the website you still have the option of setting your browser to notify you when you receive a Cookie, so that you may determine whether to accept it or not.
Mobile Devices
- Apple and Android mobile devices each generate an advertising identifier that can be accessed by apps and used by advertisers in much the same way that Cookies are used on websites. Each operating system provides options to limit tracking and/or reset the advertising ID.
Email pixels/web beacons
- You can disable pixels or web beacons in email messages through the settings of your email services to prevent the automatic downloading of images.

California Privacy Notice

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Protection Act (“CCPA”) grants you certain rights to know about our information practices and to control your information. Our Privacy Policy applies to everyone, but we use this notice to make disclosures required by the CCPA.
You have the right to know:
- The categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you. See What Information Do We Collect? section of the Privacy Policy

Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law.

Your request may be submitted by an authorized agent on your behalf, provided the agent can provide proof that they are authorized to submit the request on your behalf. In such circumstances, we may also need to validate the request with you.
When you exercise one of your rights, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request. In doing so, we may ask you for additional information so that we can match the identification information you provide to us with information we maintain in our files about you. If we are unable to verify you through this method, we have the right to request additional information from you.
You also have the right to not be discriminated against for exercising your rights. Discrimination may include denying you a service, providing a different level or quality of service, or charging different prices (except where the price difference is reasonably related to the value of your personal information).
If you would like further information regarding your legal rights under California law or would like to exercise any of them, or if you are an authorized agent making a request on a California consumer’s behalf, please contact us at privacy@Rentalsreimagined.com.
Sensitive Information
As explained above in our Privacy Policy, we collect your location data based on your vehicle rides and we also collect government identification numbers. Under California law, these are both considered sensitive personal information.
We use your location data to provide vehicle rental services to you, and we share it only with third parties as necessary to provide the services or as required by law such as with:
- Affiliates and Subsidiaries that are involved in proving the services;
- Fleet Managers and Platform Operators that manage our vehicles or directly provide the services to you; and
- Law Enforcement Agencies, Courts, Regulatory Agencies, and Others who order us to provide it or otherwise if our privacy policy permits.
We also share your location data with our service providers that help us operate our business. When you instruct us to share your location data with third parties, for example, if you agree to participate in a university-sponsored Internet of Things study, we will follow your instructions. Californians have the right to limit the use of their sensitive personal information if their sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes. Please note that we do not use your sensitive personal information for purposes for which the “right to limit” applies.
We may use government identification numbers and/or self-taken photographs or videos to determine if you meet any applicable minimum age requirement and we share it only with third parties as necessary to confirm the foregoing.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
We do not sell your personal data for monetary consideration. However, the use of some third-party cookies placed on our website and/or app may be considered “selling” personal information or “sharing” personal information for purposes of “cross-context behavioral advertising” under California law. We may share your web browsing activity and related technical information (like device identifiers) through cookies, pixels, and similar technology on Rentalsreimagined.com with online advertising services providers to deliver targeting of advertising to you on third party websites, applications, or services. See our Cookie Notice section of this Privacy Policy for more information about our use of Cookies including how to opt-out. Please note that to the extent you are accessing our web pages across multiple devices or platforms, or if you clear your browser settings, you may have to opt out again.
