1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT.

Carey collects certain Personal Information about you and your use of our Services. Personal Information is typically data that identifies an individual or relates to an identifiable individual. The definition of Personal Information (used interchangeably with “Personal Data” for European residents) depends on the applicable law based on your physical location. Only the definition that applies to your physical location will apply to you under this Privacy Policy. The Personal Information that Carey collects generally falls into three categories: (1) information you voluntarily provide to us, (2) information we collect from you automatically, and (3) information we collect from third parties.

Information You Voluntarily Provide to Us. You may browse through the informational portion of our Web Site without providing us with any Personal Information. However, we or service providers that assist us in providing, maintaining, and operating our Services, may collect the following types of Personal Information from you:

  • Web Forms. If you request information or materials from us, we may ask for your contact information, such as your and your contact’s name, email address, company name, postal address, and phone number(s). Personal information that you provide web forms will be used only for such purposes as are described at the point of collection (for example on a web form), such as to send information to you or respond to your questions or comments. If you provide contact information, we may contact you to clarify your comment or question, or to learn about your level of interest in, or satisfaction with our services.
  • Reservations. To access and make reservations through the Services available at our Web Sites and Mobile Apps, we will require you to complete a registration form. This registration form will request certain Personal Information about the Web Site or Mobile App user (“User”) and the traveler who will use our transportation services (“Client”) in the event the Client is different from the User. Certain parts of this information will be compiled into a profile maintained by Carey in order to, among other things, most efficiently provide the services to Clients and/or Users. Such information may include at least the following: for the User, name, address, email address, company name, home/mobile phone number and ARC or IATA number; and for the Client, name, email address, home/mobile phone number, company name, work address, home address and billing address, pick-up and drop-off information, credit card information, corporate account information, specific preferences related to the services, and in-transit itineraries. We use this information for billing purposes for reservation management or to contact you if we have difficulty processing your requests.
  • Customer Service. When you engage with Carey International’s Digital Support Team, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, reservation number, company name, records, copies of your correspondence, and any additional information you choose to share with us (such as screenshots).

Information We Automatically Collect. To the extent permitted under the applicable law, we may collect certain types of information automatically, such as whenever you interact with the Sites or use the Services. We may collect the following types of information automatically from you:

  • Usage Data. When you browse our Web Sites, we automatically collect log data such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, domain names, referring and exit pages and URLs, pages viewed and the order of these page views, the date and time you access our servers, and other diagnostic data.
  • Device Information. When you use your desktop or mobile devices to access our Services, we may be able to identify your device’s unique device identifier, MAC address, operating system, and your mobile device’s advertising ID.
  • Location Information. When you use our Services, we may infer the generic physical location and geographic regions of your device from your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other device settings. For example, your IP address may indicate your general geographic region. You may choose not to share your location details with us by adjusting your mobile or desktop device’s location services settings. For instructions on changing the relevant settings, please contact your service provider or device manufacturer.

Information We Collect From Third Parties. From time to time, we may obtain information about you from third-party sources as required or permitted by law. These sources may include:

  • Third-Party Reservation Agent, Systems or Centers. We may receive your reservation details from third-party reservation agents, systems or centers
  • Marketing Partners and Analytics Providers. Unless prohibited by applicable law, we may obtain your Personal Information from marketing partners and analytics providers so that we can better understand which of our Services may be of interest to you.
