Anonymous Data Collection and Use

To maintain the high quality of our Web site, we may use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer the Web site by identifying which areas of the Web site are most used, and to display content according to your preferences. Your IP address is the number assigned to computers connected to the Internet. This is essentially “traffic data” that cannot identify you personally, but is useful to us for marketing purposes and to improve our services. The collection of traffic data does not in any way track a user’s activities on other websites. Anonymous traffic data may also be shared with business partners and advertisers in aggregate form.

We may also use these technologies to collect information regarding your interaction with email messages, such as whether you opened, clicked on or forwarded a message, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

You can instruct your browser, by editing your browser options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from websites you visit.

Data Retention

We retain your Personal Data for the minimum time necessary to provide you with the services you have requested from us. We may include certain Personal Data for longer periods of time if necessary for legal, contractual and accounting obligations.

Passwords

To use certain features of the website, including our reservation system or other automated tools, you may need a user name and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the username and password, and you are responsible for all activities, whether undertaken by you or others, that occur under your username or password and within your account. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your username, password or account information. If you share your username or password with others, they may gain access to your Personal Data at your own risk.

You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized or improper use of your username or password or any other breach of security. To help protect against unauthorized or improper use, be sure to sign off at the end of each session in which your username and password are required.

We will use reasonable efforts to keep your username and password(s) private and will not otherwise share your password(s) without your consent, except as required by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary, particularly when disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to others or interference with our rights or property.

Benz Driver is committed to safeguarding the confidentiality of your Personal Information. We employ administrative and electronic measures designed to adequately protect your Personal Information against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, misuse and any other unlawful forms of processing of Personal Information in our possession. Please note that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. We take commercially reasonable measures to protect the Personal Data you provide to us from misuse, disclosure or unauthorized access. We only share your Personal Data with trusted third parties who use the same level of care in processing your Personal Data.

That being said, we cannot guarantee that your Personal Data will always be secure due to technology or security breaches. In the event of a data breach of which we become aware, we will inform you immediately.

We will make any legally required disclosure of any breach of the security, confidentiality or integrity of your electronically stored unencrypted Personal Data via email or conspicuous posting on our site in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system, and any other disclosures that may be required under applicable law.

We also take measures to delete your personal information or keep it in a form that does not allow you to be identified when this information is no longer needed for the purposes for which we process it, unless we are required by law to keep this information for a longer period. In determining the retention period, we take into account various criteria, such as the type of services requested by you or provided to you, the nature and duration of our relationship with you, potential re-enrollment in our services, the impact on the services we provide to you if we delete any information from or about you, mandatory retention periods provided by law and the statute of limitations.
