An approach to data build around 4 pillars

We keep your data secured

When you use Getaround, you trust us with your data. Our teams work around the clock to protect it from fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.
We’ve also implemented strict rules to make sure only the bare minimum of employees have access to the basic information they need to make their job. And we’ve committed not to sell your data - to anyone.

We use data to build trust and safety

When you come to Getaround, you expect to interact with trustworthy drivers and find safe cars. We learnt to instantly evaluate hundreds of signals that help us flag and investigate suspicious activity before it happens.
We also automatically check identity documents and driving licences for Getaround Connect rentals to keep frauders out of our community.

We use data to improve your experience

We work every day at Getaround to make sure our service fits your needs. We use data as a source of feedback to improve our website and app or to develop new features and tools.
We store some information to spare you the burden of re-entering it every time you use Getaround. And we use you geolocation to find the Getaround cars around you and help you get to it.

We provide you the necessary tools to control your data

Through the settings of your Getaround account or on your device, you can modify your personal information or personalize your cookie preferences at any time.
We’ve also set up a dedicated email address in case you want to ask us questions on our personal data protection policy or if you want to access to, modify or delete your personal data.
