In this YUKO Privacy and Data Protection Policy (“this Policy”) we describe how we collect your Personal Data and why we collect it, what we do with your Personal Data, with whom we share it, how we protect it, and the choices you can make about your Personal Data.
Your personal data refers to any information that would allow us to identify you either directly or indirectly.
This Policy applies to the processing of your Personal Data in the framework of various services, tools, applications, websites, portals, promotions, marketing actions, social media platforms, etc. that are provided or operated by us or on our behalf.
This Policy applies to all your Personal Data collected by (or on behalf of) YUKO, referred to in this Policy as “YUKO”, “YUKO Toyota Car Club”, ”YUKO Share”, “YUKO Rent”, “Carclick Ltd”, “we”, “us” and “our”.
If you accept the provisions of this Policy, you are agreeing to us processing your Personal Data in the ways that are set out in this Policy.
At the end of this Policy, you will find some definitions of certain key concepts used in this Policy and which are capitalised (for example, Personal Data, Processing, Data Controller…).
1. Who is responsible for the processing of your personal data?
The entity which is responsible for the processing of your Personal Data is: Carclick Limited (trading as YUKO), Lexus House, Killeen Road, Dublin, D12AW94.
2. Purpose of the Processing
Through our mobile applications YUKO provides you with car sharing/rental services.
a. The creation of your YUKO account
The purpose of processing YUKO members’ personal data is to enable members of the public to become approved YUKO members who would then be eligible to hire and drive cars on the YUKO fleet.
We must process and hold the members’ personal data for identification purposes, to confirm they have an appropriate and legitimate driving licence and for the purposes of ensuring that they meet certain insurance criteria to enable them to legally drive any car from the YUKO fleet. The data is also required for the approved member to be able to book a vehicle, to process the payment of the car hire cost and potentially any fines if necessary. For the duration of your commercial relationship with YUKO, your credit/debit card information will need to be retained to facilitate booking related payments.
b. Improvement of YUKO services on the basis of:
Survey data, feedback and correspondence is used for training purposes and to improve the user design of our application and products and essentially the experience.
c. The processing of your booking:
To confirm your booking with YUKO; to amend/cancel your booking with YUKO; to communicate with you in relation to to your upcoming booking i.e. reminder; to manage your invoices, to manage the payment of arrears; to manage potential claims, to manage the recovery of potential damages to YUKO vehicles; to manage insurance; to manage fines so that they are transferred to the relevant driver who has committed the traffic violation/offence. Where your booking is for the Yuko Rent service, we will share your personal details with the Toyota Dealer from whom you will be collecting your vehicle.
Member booking data is also used to gain insight into utilisation rates of vehicles which gives us knowledge of supply vs demand in busy/quieter locations. This information enables us to add/move vehicles from specific locations to meet the needs of the approved members in that community.
d. The use of connected devices in YUKO Share vehicles:
As YUKO Share is a fully digital and automated way of renting, each vehicle is equipped with connected devices. These devices collects data to monitor the state, performance and the functionality of YUKO Share vehicles. We can verify that vehicles are fit for purpose and safe to drive by approved YUKO members. For example, if the fuel tank is sufficiently full for the next member, the battery level is appropriate, there is no damage to the vehicle that would put the next driver in danger, the vehicle has been returned to the designated station and that drivers can be charged the appropriate amount for kilometres exceeding the 50km per day limit. This processing is aimed at protecting the integrity of YUKO Toyota Car Club’s fleet.
YUKO Share vehicles are also monitored by geolocation systems and telematics (crash detection). Geolocation systems and telematics have been embedded in our fleet to;
· Ensure vehicles are situated in their designated station and are available for bookings, thus providing approved YUKO members with a better customer experience;
· To prevent fraud/damaging action against YUKO vehicles;
· To locate YUKO Share vehicles in the event of theft/suspected theft;
· To locate YUKO Share vehicle in the event of a suspected accident in order to provide assistance or emergency services;
· To ensure damage is brought to our attention immediately so that vehicles can be maintained and in a safe condition to drive;
· To assist in the identification and investigation of any accidents involving Yuko vehicles through the use of Connected Services, geo location data, speed and impact detection technology
· To ensure our YUKO members are driving in a safe manner and are not causing danger to other road users or themselves;
· For potential insurance claims.
Majority of YUKO Rental vehicles are not equipped with any connected devices. If the dealership decides to install a connected device into a rental vehicled, a sticker will be on the window indicating that there is a GPS tracking device.
e. The management of a watchlist of YUKO members presenting certain contractual risks:

· Vehicle accidents or repeated damaged caused by a YUKO member;
· Use of YUKO’s vehicles in breach of our terms and conditions;
