Privacy Policy and Data Protection

EzCar is an online service that provides an online booking platform for car rental agencies, VIP and taxi transfer companies. Our websites, mobile properties, and related applications (collectively, "we" or "us") are part of the ZanteWeb Travel®, which is owned and operated by ZanteWeb Travel P.C. More details about ZanteWeb Travel P.C. can be found below on this page.

At ZanteWeb Travel we recognize that privacy is important and providing information online involves a great deal of trust on your part. We take this trust very seriously, and make it a high priority to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personal information you provide us with, when you visit our Website/s or use our services.
On May 25th, 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (or GDPR) has come into effect for all businesses operating within the European Union.

These general conditions apply to your use of EzBookings.net and other domains used by ZanteWeb Travel, including custom domain names that may be used by our customers.
Before submitting your personal information to us, please read this Policy carefully to learn about our privacy practices. By visiting our website/s, or in connection with other sites or services, you are accepting the practices described herein.
Our terms and conditions, and the privacy notices below, are all written to be fully compliant with European privacy and data regulations (GDPR). It's all written in language that is designed to be understood and read by a normal person.
But to help you along, here are the basics we take seriously, to protect your data and your contract with us:

  • We don't sell or share data or run clever programs to try and squeeze information out of you about what you are doing so we can sell you more stuff.
  • All our servers and applications run the same security protocols that banks use to transmit financial data.
  • We only hold your data because you have given it to us - if you don't want us to do that, we won't. If you are worried about it - don't collect or send any sensitive data through our system. You have control over how long we keep your data for, and when you want us to automatically delete it.
  • We comply with all the laws that apply to us - and expect the same from you. Check out our terms and conditions for more about this.


ZanteWeb Travel P.C. Privacy and Data Protection Notice

    1. General
      1. ZanteWeb Travel P.C. ("we" or "us") take the privacy of your information very seriously. Our Privacy and Data Protection Notice is designed to tell you, the user of our availability and booking service ("Service") about our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal and other information about you or your business that may be provided via this website or collected through our booking form or otherwise.
      2. This policy applies to information provided by our members and account holders ("members") and also applies to information which is processed by us when a person (referred to for convenience as a "Customer") makes a booking or submits data using our Service.
      3. ZanteWeb Travel P.C. is a Private Company trading under current Greek legislation and registered under the General Commercial Registry (GEMH), under registration number 146006224000.
      4. Important Note: If you are using our Service to make a booking with our member or account holder ("account holder") please note that we are a processor of that data but we are not the data controller. We will pass the data you provide onto our account holder in accordance with this policy.

     

    1. Our Policy
      1. We aim to limit our interaction with your data wherever possible. We have a general policy relating to access to your data. We will generally only seek to access that data which is necessary in accordance to the privileges you have granted to the system. Automated processes may scan your data, but only for an explicit purpose to do with the management of your bookings or delivery of other services. When working with data that was originally collected by us, our processes may need to scan and manipulate the information in order to deliver our service to you. We have systems in place which allow you to limit and control the access you allow to your booking data.
      2. However when working with data or content that was not collected by us and which originated elsewhere (e.g. private information you may have entered on your booking form) our policy is to only access and process a limited amount of outline data which we need to deliver the service to you. We will not review and analyse content. Occasionally, to assist with troubleshooting problems you are experiencing with the system, we will seek your permission to access your data. Our policy is always to minimise the instances that this occurs, judge the necessity on a case-by-case basis, not to automate this process and only to do so with the knowledge and permission of the owner of the data.

     

    1. Basis on which we process personal data
      1. Personal data we hold about you will be processed either because:
        • you have consented to the processing for the specific purposes described in this notice;
        • the processing is necessary in order for us to deliver our Service (i.e. to comply with our obligations under the contract between us and our account holder); or
        • the processing is necessary in pursuit of a “legitimate interest”, a legitimate interest in this context means a valid interest we have or a third party has in processing your personal data which is not overridden by your interests in data privacy and security.

     

    1. Personal data we collect
      1. We may collect and process the following personal information or data (information that can be uniquely identified with you) about you:

You do not have to supply any personal information to us and you may withdraw your authority for us to process your data or request that we restrict our processing (see below) but our Service may not be operable in practice without providing such data to us.
      3. Information may also be gathered through the Site without you actively providing it, through the use of various technologies and methods such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and cookies.
      4. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you can access the Internet.
      5. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report aggregate information, and determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to our site, and to administer and improve the site.
      6. If you are a customer of our account holder and our account holder has connected with us via PayPal (allowing us to collect payment on the Site) then we may have access to your payment history with our account holder, even if you are not a user of the Site.
