  This Privacy and Cookie Statement ("Statement") applies to TravelJigsaw Limited (trading as Rentalcars.com and Rideways), 100 New Bridge Street, London, EC4V 6JA ("TravelJigsaw" or "we"). It describes how we collect and process personal data about (potential, existing or former) strategic partners, supply partners and other business partners ("Business Partners" or "you"), and therefore applies to personal data of owners, employees, representatives or other individuals acting on behalf of Business Partners.
  Please see our separate Privacy Notice and Cookie Statement which describes (i) how we process personal data collected when using and making a booking on our platforms, and (ii) how we use cookies on customer facing platforms.
  The information we collect about our Business Partners depends on the context of the business relationship and interaction with us, the choices made by a Business Partner and the products, services and features used. The information we collect about a Business Partner can include the following, and depending on the specific situation, not all of the following data items may be considered personal data because it may relate to a business instead of an individual.
  When you register as a Business Partner, we will need you to provide us with the following information: name, date of birth (as required), your contact details, telephone and fax number, company registration documents and the necessary details to be able to pay you (including your bank details: bank account number, VAT number, credit slips). We may also ask (representatives of) Business Partners to provide a copy of their ID card or passport, a photo, video or other relevant information to verify the authenticity of the Business Partner.
  We also collect and process communications. During calls with our customer service team, live listening may be done and calls may be recorded for quality control and training purposes, which includes the usage of the recordings for the handling of claims and fraud detection purposes. Recordings are kept for a period of12 months and automatically deleted, unless we have a legitimate interest to keep such recordings for a longer period, including for fraud investigation and legal purposes.
  When using our online services, such as the online registration form, an online user account (e.g. our extranet or partner centre) or make use of our app (e.g. Pulse app), we also collect information automatically, some of which may be personal data. This includes data such as language settings, IP address, location, device settings, device OS, log information, time of usage, URL requested, status report, user agent (information about the browser type), operating system, browsing history, user ID, and type of data viewed.
  By sharing other individual's personal data in relation to your business (for example of your employees), you confirm that these individuals have been informed about the use of their personal data by us in accordance with this Privacy Statement and provided any necessary consents.
  Information on insolvencies
