NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
As part of the standard operation of this website, certain non-personal, anonymous information may be automatically provided to our Web servers by your computer. For each visitor to our website, our Web server automatically recognizes the visitor’s domain name or IP address (where possible), but not the visitor’s e-mail address. An IP address is a sequence of numbers assigned to your computer when you connect to the Internet. As part of the protocol of the Internet, Web servers can usually identify your computer by its IP address. In addition, we may collect your browser type and operating system information. Except as otherwise explained in this policy, we may combine the non-personal information we collect from you (as described above and as described below, under "Cookies & Pixel Tracking") with your personal information.
COOKIES PIXEL TRACKING
We may use cookies to analyze the traffic on our website (such as total visitors and pages viewed), to personalize features and content, to save you the trouble of re-entering your name or other info when you come back to our website and to make improvements based on the data we collect. We do not save passwords or other sensitive information in cookies. The use of cookies has become a standard in the Internet industry, especially at Web Sites that provide any kind of personalized experience.
We may use cookies to analyze the traffic on our website (such as total visitors and pages viewed), to personalize features and content, to save you the trouble of re-entering your name or other info when you come back to our website and to make improvements based on the data we collect. We do not save passwords or other sensitive information in cookies. The use of cookies has become a standard in the Internet industry, especially at Web Sites that provide any kind of personalized experience. We may also use pixel tags (also known as "clear gifs," "Web beacons" or "1-by-1gifs") on our website and in our advertisements. Pixel tags consist of a few lines of coding and are not visible to the site user. Pixel tags help us analyze our visitors’ behavior on our website with respect to our advertisements. We may work with our Affiliates and our service providers to help us track, collect and analyze this data. Pixel tags may be used to collect a variety of information about your visit to our website, including the pages you view, the features you use, the links you click and other actions you take, all of which may be combined with other information we have collected from you. We use this to provide personalized and relevant website content, to measure the effectiveness of our marketing and advertisements, to enhance the helpfulness of our website, to compile aggregate usage statistics, to determine if any errors are being encountered on the website and for other internal purposes.
We work with a service provider that helps us to optimize our search engine marketing. It does this by associating pixel tags with the terms that you use when surfing online for a rental car (for example, SUV or a certain destination). If you select Amerirent from among your search results, our service provider will analyze your search terms to present you with the most relevant landing page (for example, SUVs available in Dominican Republic). Our service provider does not tie the search terms or any other information to your personal information; it may tie the search term information to your IP address.
Cookies may also be placed by third parties during your visit to the website. Our Affiliates and business partners (including our advertisers) may use these cookies in connection with their use of pixel tags for online preference marketing purposes or otherwise. We don’t control those cookies. The use of cookies by advertisers has become standard practice in the Internet industry today.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf across the Internet. These companies employ cookie and pixel tag technology to measure and improve the effectiveness of ads for users. To do so, these companies may use anonymous info about your unique visit to the website. This information can include: date/time of banner ad shown, your cookie and the first three octets of your IP address. These companies do not collect personally identifiable information. This anonymous information can also be used for online preference marketing purposes.

SECURITY PROCEDURES
We are very concerned with the security of your personally identifiable information and try to provide secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. For certain transactions on certain of our Web Sites, we may use Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the transfer of information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely safe. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted online. Once we receive your information, we take steps that we believe are reasonably appropriate to protect its security, both internally and from outsiders, from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction, and to ensure the integrity of the data we collect. We use a combination of technological, physical, administrative and policy methods as well as organizational controls and non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements as we deem appropriate to protect this data. If you have a user name and password for any of the features on our website, you have the responsibility of keeping your password secret.
You should not reveal your password to anyone. We will not ask you in an unsolicited telephone call or e-mail for your password. In addition, you should take reasonable precautions when using a computer that is not your own or in a public setting.

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the Effective Date located at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. If we change this Privacy Policy in a material way, we will provide appropriate online notice to you.
