Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 15, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Car Rental for U ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information from users ("you") of carrentalforu.com and all related services. By using our platform you agree to the practices described here.

Nature of Our Service

Car Rental for U is an online reservation and aggregation platform operating at carrentalforu.com. We do not directly provide vehicle rental services — our role is to connect you with independent third-party rental providers ("Rental Partners"). Completing your reservation necessarily requires us to share certain personal details with the specific Rental Partner you select.

1. Who Controls Your Data

Car Rental for U acts as the Data Controller for personal information collected through our platform. We comply with all applicable US state privacy laws including the CCPA/CPRA (California), VCDPA (Virginia), CPA (Colorado), UCPA (Utah), and CTDPA (Connecticut).

Physical address: 1500 N Grant St #6906, Denver, CO 80203.

4. How We Share Your Information

  • Service Providers: Vendors performing payment processing, hosting, analytics, marketing, and IT support on our behalf.
  • Business Partners: Airlines, hotels, insurance providers, and loyalty program operators where relevant to your transaction.
  • Legal Authorities: Government bodies or courts when legally required — for example, in response to a valid subpoena or law enforcement request.
  • Corporate Transactions: A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.

Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising (CCPA/CPRA): In the past 12 months, we may have "shared" or "sold" certain data (identifiers, browsing activity, location) for targeted advertising purposes. You have the right to opt out — see Section 5.

5. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have some or all of the following rights:

  • Right to Know/Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you and the purposes for which it is used.
  • Right to Delete: Ask us to delete your personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
  • Right to Correct: Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing: Direct us not to sell or share your data for cross-context behavioral advertising. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals.
  • Right to Limit Sensitive Data Use: Restrict how we use or disclose Sensitive Personal Information to only what is necessary to fulfill your request.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will never penalize you for exercising your privacy rights.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, satisfy legal or accounting requirements, or defend against legal claims. Retention periods vary by data type and applicable law.

7. Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No transmission method or electronic storage system is 100% secure; we encourage you to use strong, unique passwords and to contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

8. Third-Party Links

Our platform may link to websites operated by Rental Partners and other third parties. We are not responsible for their privacy practices — please review each site's privacy policy independently.

Our services are not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover we have done so without verifiable parental consent, we will promptly delete that information.
