Privacy Statement

The legal provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), the Ordinance to the Federal Act on Data Protection (OFADP), the Telecommunications Act (TCA) and other provisions of data protection law are observed..

In the following, Herold Fahrzeugvermietung AG informs you which personal data is collected, processed and used for which purpose.

  1. Scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data

The website can be visited without providing any personal information. Only access data without personal reference such as the name of the Internet service provider, the page from which the visit is made or the name of the requested file is stored. This data is used exclusively to improve the offer and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the person or company providing the service.

Personal data are only collected if they are provided in the context of a rental request or contact.

The data provided will be used without separate consent exclusively to answer and implement Volvo Car Rent reservation requests. In order to optimize Volvo Car Rent's offer and to ensure quality, the vehicle rental data of the requesting parties are checked.

The data will only be passed on to third parties if this is directly necessary for processing the order and evaluation.

With complete completion of the contract and complete payment of the rental fee, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the statutory retention periods have expired, unless you have actively consented to the further use of your data.

  1. Technologies

Internet technologies (e.g. cookies, Java script) are used exclusively to facilitate the operation of Internet applications. This website uses Google Analytics and Google BoubleClick-Cookies (Flood-lights) for this purpose.

Google Analytics (web analysis service) and Google DoubleClick cookies are used to evaluate the use of this website. For this purpose, reports on website activities are compiled in order to optimize the Internet offering accordingly.

Under no circumstances will Google associate your shortened IP address with other Google data. Double click cookies do not contain any personal data. Occasionally, the cookie may contain an additional, anonymous identifier to identify a campaign with which a user has previously come into contact. This prevents any conclusions being drawn about the web behavior of a specific person.
