Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Weeve collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects personal information when you visit our website, contact us, apply for a vehicle, use our services, or otherwise interact with us.
1. Scope of this policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information handled by Weeve in connection with our websites, online forms, customer portals, applications, vehicle rental and subscription services, car-sharing services, commercial fleet services, appointments, payment processes, customer support, and other interactions with our customers, prospective customers, drivers, business clients, and website visitors.
In this policy, “Weeve,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Weeve and the affiliated entities that provide the relevant service.
“Personal information” means information about an identifiable individual. It does not generally include information that has been anonymized so that it can no longer reasonably be associated with an identifiable person.

5. Consent and your choices
We obtain consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when required by applicable law. Consent may be express or implied depending on the sensitivity of the information and the circumstances.
You may withdraw consent to certain uses of your personal information by contacting us. Withdrawal of consent will not affect processing that already occurred and may limit our ability to provide a product or service when the information is reasonably necessary to provide it.
In some circumstances, applicable law permits or requires us to collect, use, retain, or disclose information without consent.

Service providers may only use personal information for the services they provide to us or as otherwise permitted by law.
7. Sale or sharing of personal information
Weeve does not sell personal information in exchange for money.
We may disclose information to service providers and business partners for operational, analytics, security, communications, or advertising purposes. Depending on where you live, certain disclosures involving advertising or analytics technologies may legally be defined as “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising even when no money is exchanged.
Where applicable, you may submit an opt-out request through our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.
9. Payments and deposits
Payments, reservation fees, deposits, pre-authorizations, recurring charges, and refunds may be handled by third-party payment providers.
When you use a third-party payment service, your payment information is also subject to that provider's privacy and security practices. We recommend reviewing the provider's privacy policy before submitting payment information.
10. Vehicle, location, and telematics data
Some Weeve vehicles or fleet services may use connected technology that collects vehicle location, mileage, diagnostic, battery, charging, usage, and driving-event information.
This information may be used to:
- Locate, deliver, recover, or manage a vehicle.
- Manage maintenance and detect mechanical or safety issues.
- Confirm mileage, usage, vehicle condition, or compliance with an agreement.
- Investigate accidents, theft, damage, misuse, or insurance claims.
- Provide authorized fleet reports.
- Improve safety, service quality, and fleet operations.
Where required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before activating technologies that identify, locate, or profile an individual.
11. Processing outside your province or Canada
Weeve and our service providers may process or store personal information outside your province or outside Canada. As a result, information may be subject to the laws of another jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, law enforcement, or government authorities in that jurisdiction.
We use contractual, organizational, and technical measures designed to protect information processed by our service providers.
12. How long we retain information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, administer our relationship with you, comply with legal, accounting, insurance, tax, and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Retention periods vary depending on the type and sensitivity of the information, the service involved, legal requirements, and whether information is required for an active or anticipated claim.
When information is no longer required, we securely delete, destroy, or anonymize it in accordance with our applicable retention practices.
13. How we protect information
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, theft, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
These safeguards may include:
- Access controls and authentication.
- Encryption and secure transmission where appropriate.
- Employee confidentiality and access restrictions.
- Security monitoring, backups, and incident-response procedures.
- Service-provider assessments and contractual protections.
- Secure deletion or destruction practices.
No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.
14. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To protect your information, we may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
Certain information may not be accessible or may need to be retained where an exception applies, including information protected by legal privilege, information concerning another individual, or information required for legal, regulatory, fraud-prevention, security, or contractual purposes.
15. Marketing and service communications
We may send operational messages relating to applications, appointments, payments, vehicles, maintenance, safety, agreements, or customer support. Because these messages are necessary to administer our services, you may not be able to opt out while maintaining an active relationship with us.
We may also send promotional emails or text messages when we have the consent or other legal authority required to do so. You may unsubscribe using the instructions in the message or by contacting us.
It may take a reasonable period to update our systems after an unsubscribe request. You may continue to receive non-promotional service communications.
16. Children's information
Our vehicle rental and subscription services are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through our website without appropriate authorization.
Contact us if you believe that a child has submitted personal information to us without appropriate authorization.
17. Third-party websites and services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, payment pages, social networks, maps, rideshare platforms, or other services. We do not control the privacy practices of those third parties.
Information you provide directly to a third party is governed by that third party's privacy policy. We encourage you to review the applicable privacy policy before providing personal information.
18. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our services, technologies, legal obligations, or privacy practices.
The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent before a material change takes effect.
