depends on how you use the site. These privacy provisions apply solely
to TRAC’s online information collection activities and are
not applicable to information collection practices TRAC may be
engaged in outside of the rentatoyota.com space.
By using this site, you signify your assent to the
TRAC Online Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this policy,
please do not use this
site. We reserve the right to change any of TRAC’s Online

TRAC shall not be responsible for any harm that you or any person
may suffer as a result of a breach of confidentiality in respect
to your use of this site or any information you transmitted to
this site.
Normal Web Site Usage
You can visit TRAC's Web site to read vehicle rental information
without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal
information. The only information we collect and store during normal
Web site usage is the name of your Internet service provider, the
browser (including available plug-ins and browser functionality)
and type of machine you are using, the IP address, the Web site
that referred you to us, the pages you request and the date and
time of those requests.
We use this information to generate statistics and measure site
activity to improve the usefulness of customer visits. During normal
Web site usage, we do not collect or store personally identifiable
information such as name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone
number or social security number.
Collection of Personally Identifiable Information
There are instances where TRAC requests personally identifiable information
to provide the Web site visitor a service or correspondence (vehicle
rental information, promotions and mailed brochures). This information,
such as name, mailing address, e-mail address, type of request
and possibly additional information, is collected and stored by
TRAC in a manner appropriate to the nature of the data and is used
to serve you. The information you provide is used by TRAC to improve
the services we provide you. It is never provided to any other
company for that company's independent use. TRAC will never sell
your personal information to any other company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, TRAC may share user information from time to time
with affiliates and business partners in order to provide consistent
service, support and marketing to its existing and prospective
customers.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an
individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes so that we
may track site and user activity. The use of cookies is an industry
standard and you will find them at most major Web sites. By showing
how and when visitors use the site, cookies help TRAC to track
those areas of our site that are popular and which areas are not.
Improvements and updates to the site may be based on such data
as total number of visitors and pages viewed.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you'd prefer,
you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies
are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of the site,
like the configurator areas, will not function properly if you do
so. Also, we will not be able to recognize you as a visitor over
time.
Third-Party Advertising Company
TRAC may share Web site usage information about visitors to our Web
site with a reputable third-party advertising company for the purpose
of targeting our Internet banner advertisements on this site and
other sites. For this purpose, we and our third-party advertising
company note some of the pages you visit on our Web site through
the use of pixel tags (also called clear gifs). The information
may be collected by a third-party advertising company through the
use of these pixel tags, but is not personally identifiable.
