Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy is issued by Route 66 Rental Cars S.r.l.s. ("Route 66 Rental Cars", "we", "us", "our"), a company registered in Italy. It explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal information when you visit this website, use the Pickup Livery System application, contact us, or apply for a role with us.

1. Who This Policy Applies To

This policy applies to visitors of route66rentalcars.com, users of the Pickup Livery System app, individuals who contact us for business or partnership purposes, and candidates applying for a position with Route 66 Rental Cars S.r.l.s. For each of these activities, Route 66 Rental Cars acts as the data controller responsible for the personal information collected.

2. Collection and Use of Personal Information

We collect information in three broad categories:

  • Non-identifying information — aggregate traffic and usage data about how our website and app are used.
  • Device information — hardware model, operating system, browser type, IP address, and general location data, including from the Pickup Livery System app for dispatch and navigation purposes.
  • Personal information — name, email address, phone number, company details, and any information you submit through our contact form, booking requests, or job applications.

3. Purposes of Processing and Legal Basis

We process personal information on the following legal grounds:

  • Contractual necessity — to respond to booking, partnership, or supplier requests and to operate the Pickup Livery System platform for its users.
  • Consent — for optional communications such as newsletters, and for processing job applications.
  • Legal compliance — to meet accounting, tax, and regulatory obligations under Italian and EU law.
  • Legitimate interest — to maintain the security of our website and app, and to communicate with prospective partners and suppliers.

4. Disclosure of Personal Information

We may share personal information with:

  • Service providers who support our hosting, email, and payment processing infrastructure;
  • Group brands and affiliated businesses operating under Route 66 Rental Cars, strictly for the purposes described in this policy;
  • Professional advisors, auditors, and authorities where required by law.

We do not sell personal data. Any third party processing personal information on our behalf is required to maintain data protection standards equivalent to those described in this policy.

5. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse, including access restrictions, confidentiality obligations for staff and partners, and procedures to detect and respond to any data breach without undue delay.

6. International Data Transfers

Where personal information is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an applicable adequacy decision.

7. Third-Party Links

Our website and app may contain links to third-party websites or services, including those of our partners and suppliers. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we recommend reviewing their own privacy policies.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Contact and marketing data is retained until you withdraw consent or unsubscribe; job application data is retained for up to 12 months to consider you for future opportunities, unless a longer period is required by law.

9. Direct Marketing

We will only send you marketing communications where we have obtained your consent. Every marketing email includes a straightforward option to unsubscribe at any time.

10. Use of Cookies

Our website uses cookies to ensure core functionality and, where consented, to understand site usage. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you;
  • Request rectification of inaccurate data;
  • Request erasure of your data, subject to legal exceptions;
  • Restrict or object to certain processing activities;
