Important Notice: We have updated our Privacy Notice to provide additional details regarding certain new rights provided under California law for consumers in California. For information about what has changed, please contact us as described in the Contact Us section below.
Your privacy is important to us. This privacy notice ("Privacy Notice") describes how Porsche Drive LLC ("Porsche" or "we" or "us" or "our") collects, uses, and shares information we obtain about you when you use the Porsche Drive website, download the Porsche Drive mobile application to your phone or other internet-connected device (your "Device"), and when you use the services available through the Porsche Drive mobile application (collectively, the "Porsche Drive Services").
Scope
This Privacy Notice applies to information collected about you by or on behalf of Porsche as set forth in the below "Information We Collect" section, including through the Porsche Drive Services or other online services or programs where this Privacy Notice is posted or linked. This Privacy Notice does not apply to any of our affiliates, other Porsche companies, or Porsche dealers which are independent third parties.
As used in this Privacy Notice, "Personal Information" means information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to a specific individual, such as name, address, e-mail address, phone number, driver's license number, or credit card number. "Information" is collectively used herein to refer to both Personal Information and information that does not identify and cannot reasonably be linked to a specific individual.
Information We Collect
When you use the Porsche Drive Services, we may collect certain information about you or the vehicle you reserve ("Vehicle") from a variety of sources, including Personal Information you provide directly to us, and Information we collect about you when you access and use Porsche Drive Services. We also collect your Personal Information from independent Porsche dealers and from other third parties. We may combine any of the Information collected about you for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.
When you register for the Porsche Drive Services or otherwise use the Porsche Drive website, we may collect:

- Aggregate Data, based on your interaction with the Porsche Drive website, see Cookie/Tracking Section below for additional detail.
When you install and use the Porsche Drive mobile application, we collect:
- Location Information, if you permit the Porsche Drive mobile application to access location-sharing services. For example, we will collect your precise location when you reserve an available Vehicle. We may also collect the precise location of your Device when the Porsche Drive mobile application is running in the foreground or background. We may also derive your approximate location from your Internet Protocol (IP) address when you use the Porsche Drive website;
- Device information, such as Device type, Device operating system, IP address, unique identifier, type of browser, Internet service provider, and phone number;

Restricting the Collection of Location and Other Information
You can restrict our access to, as well as the collection and sharing of, the location of your Device by disabling location-sharing on your Device, if that feature is available on your Device. You should ensure that you have deleted all personal information from the Vehicle's systems before returning the Vehicle. Please be aware, some of the Porsche Drive Services require access to and collection of the location of the Vehicle.
Global Positioning System Data
Drive vehicles may be equipped with vehicle tracking and other technology. We implement Global Positioning Systems (GPS), a network of satellites that allows us to determine the location of our vehicles. As permitted by law, this information is transmitted to us and can be stored for extended periods. We use this information for a variety of important purposes. For example, we use GPS data to help you find our vehicles, to provide roadside assistance, to ensure that a vehicle is available at the place and time you have reserved, to ensure that the vehicle is not driven to unauthorized locations and to locate a lost or stolen vehicle. We also maintain in-vehicle and in- equipment technologies to track and monitor performance of our vehicles and to assist us with ensuring that our vehicles are used only in accordance with applicable laws and our rules and policies. Disabling, disconnecting or destroying any such technology device or equipment is strictly prohibited.
