Privacy policy

By using VerusCars.com services (“Services”, “Website”), you entrust Jolorenta, UAB (operating as VerusCars) with your personal data and authorize us to process it in accordance with this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) and our Terms & Conditions (“Terms”).
Because VerusCars operates as a car rental marketplace and intermediary, the processing of your personal data is required to match you with appropriate suppliers, facilitate reservations, prevent fraud, and ensure safe and transparent service.

If you do not agree to this Policy, the Terms, or any specific provision contained within them, you will unfortunately be unable to use our Services, as VerusCars cannot technically or legally provide brokerage and reservation functionality without processing essential personal data.

This Policy describes in detail:

• which categories of your personal data we collect,
• how, when, and why this data is processed,
• how long your data is retained,
• circumstances under which data is shared with partners (Suppliers),
• the legal grounds for processing,
• your GDPR rights and how to exercise them,
• how to contact our Data Protection Officer (DPO),
• how updates to this Policy will be communicated.

We strongly encourage you to read this Policy carefully before using our Website or Services. If you have any questions, you may contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section.

Please note that this Policy and the Terms may be updated, amended, or supplemented periodically to reflect legislative changes, industry best practices, or improvements to our Services. VerusCars will inform you of significant changes by notifying you through the contact information you have provided or by publishing an updated version on the Website.

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, processed in accordance with the GDPR and applicable privacy laws.

1. WHO WE ARE

The VerusCars platform and all related Services are operated by:

Jolorenta, UAB
Company code: 304557074
VAT code: LT100018169217
Registered address: Baltijos pr. 43-77, LT-94129 Klaipėda, Lithuania

For all matters related to personal data, Jolorenta, UAB acts as the Data Controller.
This means we determine which personal data is processed, the purposes of processing, and the legal basis upon which this processing occurs.

Because VerusCars operates internationally and cooperates with multiple independent car rental suppliers worldwide, we process personal data necessary to facilitate bookings, verify data accuracy, prevent fraudulent activity, and ensure that Suppliers can fulfill the reservation you select.

Data Protection Officer (DPO)

We have appointed a Data Protection Officer responsible for overseeing data protection compliance, addressing privacy-related inquiries, responding to GDPR requests, and ensuring the lawful handling of personal data.

For any questions related to this Privacy Policy, including requests to exercise your GDPR rights, please contact our DPO at:

dpo@veruscars.com

Full contact details are listed in the Contact Us section of this Policy.

• you agree to the processing of your personal data as outlined herein,
• you accept our Terms & Conditions, which form an integral part of using our Services.

If you disagree with any part of this Policy, you must refrain from using the Website or Services, as VerusCars cannot perform reservation brokerage functions without processing the personal data necessary for contract execution, fraud prevention, and customer communication.

Your continued use of VerusCars after any updates or amendments to this Policy constitutes acceptance of the revised version.

3. AGE RESTRICTION

VerusCars Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18.
Because the VerusCars platform is used to enter legally binding vehicle rental agreements with independent Suppliers, we require all users to be adults and capable of entering into contractual obligations.

Accordingly:

• Persons under 18 years old are strictly prohibited from using our Website, submitting personal data, creating bookings, or engaging with our Services in any form.
• If we determine that personal data belonging to a minor has been collected, we will delete it immediately and take reasonable measures to prevent further processing.
• We may request age verification when necessary to protect user privacy and ensure proper contract formation.

We may create aggregated data for internal use or for improving Services and creating new features. Aggregated data is anonymous and is not linked to any personal data. Aggregated information helps understand trends and customer needs so that new products and services can be considered and so existing products and services can be tailored to customer desires.

Your data are safe and will be processed only for the purposes of providing the respective services to you.

6. MARKETING

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising. Where you have interacted with us, we will send you marketing communications from time to time. Such marketing communications are usually sent by email or text (SMS). If you do not want to receive marketing communications, please refer to HOW TO OPT-OUT FROM SMS MESSAGES or HOW TO OPT-OUT FROM E-MAIL MESSAGES down below. You may also select the “unsubscribe” link in the communication we send to you.
When you receive communications from us, including marketing communications, we may share your personal data with third-party companies who help us conduct marketing activities. For example, we may use a third party to help us send email messages to you and help us understand how you have interacted with that email.
Depending on how you are using our Services, your needs and preferences, with the purpose of providing you with optimal possibilities, you may use our Linked Services, operated by the Data Controller or its affiliated companies (“Linked Services”). You may receive marketing information from these Linked Services depending on your profile settings and our matching algorithm.

You hereby agree that we may, at our own discretion, use any available channels of communication (including, but not limited to, email, phone, sms, push notifications, Whatsapp, Facebook, Wechat, QQ and any other messengers) for customer support and/or marketing purposes if you have provided us with such. You may at any time withdraw your consent to such communication by contacting our support team via the CONTACT US link below.

7. DISCLOSURES OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

VerusCars operates as a car rental marketplace platform, which means that in order to deliver our Services, we must collaborate with multiple independent entities. Below we outline cases in which your personal data may be shared.

7.1. CAR RENTAL SUPPLIERS

To facilitate and complete your booking, VerusCars must transfer certain personal data to the independent car rental supplier you have selected. This transfer is required for the supplier to:
evaluate eligibility to rent a vehicle (e.g., driver age, driver’s license validity, mandatory legal requirements),
verify booking details such as pick-up time, location, and vehicle category,
prepare, conclude, and manage the rental agreement directly with you,
communicate with you (when necessary) regarding booking changes, issues, or local requirements.

Car rental suppliers act as independent Data Controllers.
Once your personal data is transferred for the purpose of completing the booking, the Supplier processes your data under its own privacy policy and rental agreement.

We strongly recommend reviewing the Supplier’s terms, privacy notices, and rental requirements before completing your booking on VerusCars.

7.2. OUR SERVICE PROVIDERS AND STAFF

Certain personal data may be accessed and processed by VerusCars personnel or by trusted external service providers who act as Data Processors on behalf of Jolorenta, UAB. These entities process personal data only under our documented instructions and for strictly limited purposes, such as:

• customer support and communication,
• email / SMS / push notification delivery,
• hosting, infrastructure, and cloud services,
• website and platform maintenance,
• user database management,
• fraud detection and prevention,
• data storage, backup, archiving, and recovery,
• insurance or protection products provided through our platform,
• analytics and platform performance optimization.

All such providers must comply with:

• strict confidentiality agreements,
• GDPR-compliant data processing agreements (DPAs),
• technical and organizational security measures,
• VerusCars’ internal data handling policies.

Only those VerusCars employees who require access for operational purposes—such as customer service, technical support, risk and fraud specialists, finance, or complaint handling—may view limited personal data.

7.3. PARTNERSHIPS, AFFILIATES, GROUP COMPANIES & AUDITORS

We may share your personal data with:

• affiliated companies within our corporate structure,
• business consultants, legal advisors, or auditors,
• external assessment or compliance entities,
• partners participating in jointly offered services or promotions.These third parties are permitted access only to the extent required to perform their contracted functions, and must ensure confidentiality and GDPR-level protection.Such transfers support:
• financial auditing,
• legal compliance,
• internal reporting,
• corporate governance,
• partnership-based service improvements.

None of these third parties may use your personal data for independent marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

7.4. MARKETING AND PROMOTION PARTNERS

VerusCars may share limited personal or pseudonymized data with trusted marketing and advertising partners such as:

• Google (Ads, Analytics, Tag Manager),
• Meta (Facebook, Instagram),
  TikTok,
• email campaign automation partners,
• remarketing and personalization platforms.These partners help us:
• display relevant promotions,
• measure campaign effectiveness,
• analyze customer interactions,
• tailor VerusCars content and offers.Depending on your settings and provided consent, shared data may include:
• device and browser information,
• website browsing activity,
• hashed or pseudonymized identifiers,
• email address (with explicit consent),
• approximate location derived from technical signals.These partners act either as:
• Independent Data Controllers (e.g., Google, Meta), or
• Joint Controllers, depending on the processing context.We share such data only when:
• the user has provided consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), OR
• we have a legitimate interest in promoting our services (where legally permitted).You may withdraw consent at any time through your account settings, browser tools, cookie preferences, or by contacting us.For transparency, we encourage you to review:
• Google’s Privacy Policy and Business Data Responsibility documentation,
• Meta’s Privacy Policy and Data Handling Practices.

7.5. PAYMENT SERVICE PROVIDERS

To authorize, process, and secure your payment, VerusCars may share personal data with trusted and licensed Payment Service Providers (PSPs), including:

• Stripe,
• Apple Pay,
• Google Pay,
• local acquiring banks,
• fraud-prevention services.

These providers require certain information, such as:

• your name,
• payment method details (tokenized card info),
• billing data,
• transaction history,
• security attributes (IP, device, attempt logs).

Payment providers act as independent data controllers because they are subject to financial regulations, AML rules, and card industry standards (PCI DSS).
We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before confirming payment.

VerusCars never receives or stores full credit card numbers, only secure tokens.

7.6. TRANSFER OF BUSINESS

If VerusCars or Jolorenta, UAB undergoes any business transition, such as:

• a merger,
• acquisition,
• restructuring,
• sale of assets,
• bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization,
• your personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction to the acquiring or successor entity.

Any such transfer will occur in accordance with applicable data protection laws and with continued protection of your privacy rights.

7.7. LEGAL DEFENSE AND COMPLIANCE

VerusCars may disclose your personal data when required or permitted by law to:

• comply with a subpoena, court order, regulatory request, or other legal process,
• cooperate with law enforcement or governmental authorities,
• enforce or investigate violations of our Terms,
• defend against legal claims or disputes,
• prevent, detect, or address fraud, security breaches, or technical issues,
• protect the rights, safety, and property of VerusCars, our users, Suppliers, or the public.Such disclosures will always be limited to the minimum amount of information necessary.

7.8. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

VerusCars operates internationally and may transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in order to:
facilitate bookings with Suppliers based in non-EEA countries,
work with global service providers (hosting, support, marketing, analytics),
support cross-border operational processes.

Where such transfers occur, VerusCars ensures that they comply with GDPR Chapter V requirements through:

• EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission,
• Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs) where applicable,
• data processing agreements ensuring adequate safeguards,
• transferring data only to jurisdictions with an adequacy decision,
• OR obtaining your explicit consent, if no other safeguard applies.

We ensure that international recipients apply security standards equivalent to GDPR.

8. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA

VerusCars retains your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data was collected, including for:

• providing Services,
• enabling and administering bookings,
• maintaining our contractual obligations,
• resolving disputes,
• preventing fraud,
• complying with legal, accounting, tax, and regulatory requirements.

We apply internal data retention schedules that ensure personal data is not stored longer than needed. When determining the appropriate retention period, VerusCars considers:
the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data,
the potential risk of harm in the event of unauthorized access or disclosure,
the purposes for which data is processed and whether these goals can be achieved by other means,
applicable statutory requirements (e.g., accounting and financial law),
limitation periods for legal claims,
operational needs (e.g., resolving booking-related disputes with Suppliers).

Your personal data may be stored in VerusCars operational systems, secure cloud infrastructure, encrypted databases, and in certain cases, backup and disaster recovery systems.
Backups are retained for limited periods and stored off-site within the European Union, in secure and access-controlled environments that comply with industry-leading standards.

Backup storage serves the purpose of:

• business continuity,
• disaster recovery,
• safeguarding the integrity and availability of the Services.Backups are not used for active processing and are automatically overwritten according to strict retention cycles.

8.1 EXCEPTIONS

Fraud Prevention and Security Blacklists

To maintain a safe and trustworthy marketplace environment, VerusCars may retain certain personal data indefinitely in cases involving:

• suspected or confirmed fraudulent activity,
• abuse of our platform,
• chargeback abuse,
• security threats,
• behavior that may cause harm to VerusCars, our users, or Suppliers.

Such records are kept solely to:

• prevent repeated fraud attempts,
• protect the integrity of the VerusCars platform,
• ensure Supplier and user safety,
• comply with legal obligations where applicable.

We may share this information with fraud prevention partners or service providers under strict confidentiality and GDPR-compliant agreements.
Anonymised and Aggregated Data

In some circumstances, VerusCars may anonymise your personal data in a manner that irreversibly de-identifies it. Once anonymised, the data is no longer considered personal data under GDPR and may be used:

• for research,
• statistical modeling,
• product development,
• long-term analytics,
• improving service quality.

Anonymised data may be retained indefinitely because it cannot be linked to you.

8.2 DATA DELETION REQUESTS

You may request deletion of your personal data processed by VerusCars at any time by contacting us via the CONTACT US section or writing directly to:
dpo@veruscars.com

Upon receiving your request, VerusCars will:

• verify your identity (to prevent unauthorized deletion),
• assess which data can be erased immediately,
• inform you if certain data must be retained due to legal, regulatory, or fraud-prevention obligations.

Deletion requests may take some time to process due to:

• internal verification procedures,
• technical limitations associated with backup systems,
• ongoing disputes, chargebacks, or Supplier inquiries,
• legal obligations requiring retention for accounting or audit purposes.
• Important Notes About Deletion

Data shared externally cannot always be deleted instantly.

Personal data previously shared with:

• Suppliers,
• payment processors,
• third-party service providers,
• fraud prevention agencies,
• may be retained by them under their own legal obligations.

VerusCars cannot force external entities to delete data when they act as independent controllers.

2. Deleting your data does not erase data stored in backups immediately

Backups operate on a rolling overwrite cycle.
Your data will be permanently removed once the backup retention window expires.

3. Linked Services

If you delete your personal data from VerusCars but continue using other Linked Services provided by Jolorenta or affiliated companies, you may still receive communications related to those services.

4. Minimal data may be preserved to prevent account recreation

If you request “full deletion,” VerusCars may retain your email address in a hashed or suppressed form solely to:
prevent accidental duplicate account creation,
comply with suppression lists for marketing opt-outs,
fulfill legal record-keeping obligations.

This minimized email record:

• will not be used for marketing,
• will not be shared with third parties,
• will not be used to contact you.

5. Cached pages outside VerusCars control

Some data may continue to exist temporarily due to:

• cached webpages,
• search engine indexing,
• third-party archiving tools,

which VerusCars does not control.

9. CHANGES TO YOUR PROFILE AND OPT-OUT FROM COMMUNICATION

Technical limitations

governmental or regulatory interference,
weather conditions, or
other factors outside VerusCars’ control.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee 100% message delivery reliability.

Costs

Standard messaging and data rates set by your mobile provider may apply.
Marketing SMS messages are limited (typically no more than 2 per week), unless you expressly request more frequent updates.

If you need additional help, you may text “HELP” or contact our support via the CONTACT US section.

Changes may take up to 72 hours to take effect due to email system synchronization.

If you continue to receive emails after opting out, please contact our support team so we can investigate and assist.

9.4. HOW TO DELETE YOUR PROFILE

You may delete your VerusCars profile at any time if you no longer wish to use our Services.

Go to “Account”.
Select “Delete Account”.
Follow the on-screen steps to confirm your request.

Once confirmed, your profile will be deactivated and scheduled for deletion according to our internal data retention rules.

Before deleting your account, please note:
Deleting your account does not automatically cancel active bookings. You must cancel them separately according to the cancellation policy.
We may retain certain information where legally required (e.g., accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution).
Data already shared with Suppliers, payment processors, and other independent controllers cannot be deleted by VerusCars; deletion must be requested directly from those entities.
Your email address may remain in our suppression list to prevent creating duplicate accounts and to ensure marketing opt-outs remain respected.
Some data may persist temporarily in encrypted backups until they automatically expire.

If you need assistance with the deletion process, please contact our Data Protection Officer at:
dpo@veruscars.com

You may object at any time to processing based on our legitimate interests, including:
profiling for personalization,
marketing activities,
analytics or product improvement.

If you object to marketing, we will stop immediately.

You may exercise all GDPR rights by contacting us via the CONTACT US section or writing to:

CCPA / CPRA (California),

and other emerging U.S. state privacy statutes.

While these laws differ, they commonly provide the following rights:

You may request details regarding:
categories of personal data collected;
categories of personal data shared or disclosed;

You may request to disable:
behavioral profiling,
targeted advertising,
certain types of automated decision-making.

Opting out may impact personalization features.
