The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into force on 25 May 2018 and supplements the legislation governing the protection of personal data.
Personal data means any information relating to an identified natural person or to a natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to that person, such as their surname, first name, address, email address, telephone number, contract number or bank card number.
The processing of personal data means any operation performed on such data, including its collection, storage, transmission or deletion, whether on paper or electronically. The data controller is the person who determines the purposes of each processing operation and the means used to achieve those purposes.
For CORAIL, trading as EUROPCAR MARTINIQUE, protecting your personal data is a priority. In the interests of transparency, this Privacy Policy is intended to explain why your personal data is collected and processed by CORAIL in its capacity as data controller, how it is processed, what rights you have in relation to your data and how you can exercise those rights.
CORAIL reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Any amendment will take effect immediately.
We therefore encourage you to consult this Policy regularly, as it is accessible from all pages of the Website, so that you remain informed of the latest applicable online version. For changes that we consider particularly significant, a notice will be published on the Website. We also encourage you to check the date shown at the beginning of this Policy to determine when it was last updated.
The data collected by CORAIL is necessary for the following purposes:
Responding to requests received through the online contact form;
Managing contracts, including vehicle bookings, invoices and payments;
Conducting satisfaction surveys and customer studies, including surveys and rental statistics;
Managing complaints;
Carrying out commercial prospecting and marketing activities, including sending advertising messages by email and SMS;
Selecting suppliers;
Managing claims and incidents;
Managing road traffic offences and other criminal offences.
As a general rule, CORAIL does not process your data for purposes that are incompatible with those for which it was collected, unless you have given your prior consent.
CORAIL collects different types of personal data concerning you.
You may provide personal data directly to us:
When you complete a contact form;
When you submit a booking request;
When you wish to enter into a rental agreement;
When you contact customer service to ask a question or submit a complaint;
More generally, whenever you communicate with CORAIL by any other means.
Providing your personal data is voluntary. However, certain information identified by an asterisk is essential for CORAIL to process your request. Without this information, CORAIL will not be able to process your request.
Personal data may be provided to us by the following commercial partners:
Tour operators offering complete travel packages;
Brokers and comparison websites;
Assistance providers and insurance companies;
Hotel and accommodation partners, including hotels and holiday cottages;
Automotive franchises with which we have partnerships.
We automatically collect certain information about you when you access CORAIL’s Website, including information relating to your browsing activity.
CORAIL uses cookies and other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you interact with its Website.
For further information about cookies and how to disable them, please consult the Cookie Policy.
When we send you communications by email, some messages may contain technical devices known as tracking pixels, which make it possible to determine whether an email has been opened.
Depending on the type of communication concerned, this information may be used to:
Ensure the proper delivery of our emails;
Manage our mailing lists and reduce or stop communications to inactive recipients;
Measure the effectiveness of our communications;
Adapt or personalise the communications sent to you;
Identify your interests;
Trigger follow-up communications or marketing activities.
Where tracking email openings requires your consent, this consent is collected when your email address is obtained or, where appropriate, at a later stage through an untracked email requesting your consent.
You are free to accept or refuse this tracking. Refusing tracking will not prevent your request from being processed or, where we are authorised to send them to you, prevent you from receiving our communications.
You may, at any time:
Unsubscribe from our commercial communications;
Withdraw your consent or object to the tracking of email openings.
These two choices are independent. Objecting to tracking will not automatically unsubscribe you from our commercial communications.
You may therefore continue to receive communications that we are authorised to send you, but future emails concerned will be sent without the tracking to which you have objected.
You can exercise these choices using the separate options included in our emails: “Unsubscribe from our commercial communications” and “Object to the tracking of my emails”.
You may also contact us using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.
Information relating to your choices is retained so that we can comply with your request and demonstrate that it has been taken into account.

Where processing is based on the performance of a contract, refusing to provide your personal data will prevent the contract from being entered into and performed.

More generally, your personal data may be accessible to CORAIL’s processors in connection with outsourced services, such as IT service providers and software publishers.
CORAIL does not share your data with its commercial partners unless such sharing is necessary for one of the purposes described in this Policy.
Your data is hosted on secure servers located in France.
If your data were to be transferred outside the European Union, particularly through one of our processors, we would take particular care to ensure that the recipient processes your data in strict compliance with the applicable personal data protection legislation.
CORAIL implements all necessary technical, physical and organisational measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of your data during its collection, processing and transfer.
CORAIL’s infrastructure is protected against malicious software, including viruses and spyware. However, you remain responsible for the security of your own device.
Where we use service providers to process part of your data, we undertake to verify that they provide sufficient guarantees to protect the personal data entrusted to them and to require them to sign confidentiality clauses that comply with Article 28 of the GDPR.
A personal data breach is a security incident, whether malicious or accidental and whether intentional or unintentional, that compromises the integrity, confidentiality or availability of your personal data.
In the event of a personal data breach, we undertake to comply with the applicable legal obligations.
The breach register contains the following information:
The nature of the breach;
The categories and approximate number of individuals concerned;
The categories and approximate number of files concerned;
The likely consequences of the breach;
The measures taken to remedy the breach and, where appropriate, limit its adverse consequences;
Where applicable, the reasons why the CNIL was not notified or the individuals concerned were not informed.
In accordance with applicable regulations, we are not required to inform you of a breach in the following circumstances:
Your personal data is protected by measures that make it unintelligible to any person who is not authorised to access it;
Measures have been taken to ensure that the risk is no longer likely to materialise;
Informing you would require disproportionate effort, particularly where we do not have sufficient information to contact you.
Fields marked with an asterisk in our forms are mandatory.
If you do not provide the requested information, the sole consequence will be that your request cannot be processed.
The obligation to provide the requested data is contractual because the data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or for pre-contractual measures taken at your request, particularly when requesting information or a quotation relating to our products and services.
We undertake to integrate personal data protection into the design of any project, service or other tool involving the handling of personal data.
This includes:
Minimising the personal data collected;
Limiting the purposes for which data is collected;
