This Messaging Program Privacy Policy explains how Flexcar collects and uses information about you in relation to its text message marketing program (the “Messaging Service”). We use Braze to provide the Messaging Service to you. For the purposes of the Messaging Service, Braze acts as our service provider and data processor of your information.
Collection of Information
We collect various information on our behalf from and about you, including information you directly provide when you use the Messaging Service. For example, we collect the phone number and email address you provided when signing up for the Messaging Service. When you send messages via the Messaging Service, we will also collect your messaging history and any information included in those messages.
For the purpose of facilitating your use of Flexcar services, we also collect information related to transactional messages sent to you from our designated long-code numbers, +1 (844) 540-1311 and +1 (857) 302-1188. These messages are essential for the management and operation of your Flexcar membership, such as reminders for vehicle pickup or return, maintenance notifications, and service updates. Consent to receive these transactional messages is a condition of your Flexcar membership agreement.
We may also collect information about you using cookies or similar technologies. Cookies are pieces of information that are stored by your browser on the hard drive or memory of your device. Cookies enable personalization of your experience on the Messaging Service (e.g., sending you personalized text messages such as shopping cart reminders).
If you participate in a contest, sweepstakes, research study, or email survey associated with the Messaging Service, we will collect basic contact information and any other information you choose to provide in connection with these activities. We will also collect your contact information if you contact us with questions about the Messaging Service or for customer service.
