    We and our partners use small data files such as cookies, clear gifs, pixel tags, e-tags, and Flash cookies when you access the Services. For more information, refer to our Cookies, Web Beacons, and Similar Technologies Policy. Currently, we do not respond to ‘Do-Not-Track’ browser signals.

Personal Information We Collect from Third-Party Sources

Third-Party Services

If you log in to our Services via a third-party platform (e.g., Google or Apple), that service may share information such as your registration and profile data. The information provided varies depending on the service and is governed by their policies. By linking a third-party account to your Tammj account and authorizing access, you allow us to collect, store, and use this information as outlined in our Privacy Policy. Please review the privacy policies of those third parties to understand how they handle and share your data, as we are not responsible for their practices.

Third-Party In-Vehicle Devices

If a vehicle you own or book through the Services has an in-vehicle device or system provided by a third-party service (e.g., vehicle manufacturers) or installed by the host, these devices may track data like vehicle performance, fuel consumption, location, or distance traveled. Such data is primarily managed by the host or the third-party provider, who may share relevant information with Tammj. We will process any data shared with us in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Background Check Services

As permitted by law, Tammj may collect background information from public records, background check providers, or screening services, including credit reports and criminal conviction records. For such checks, we may use your personal information, such as your full name and date of birth.

Other Sources

To the extent allowed by law, we may receive additional data about you from third parties, such as demographic information, fraud detection details, or reports from credit bureaus and other data providers. We may combine this data with the information we already have about you.

Profiles, Listings, and Other Public Information

Your public listing page on Tammj’s Services will always include basic information, such as your user ID or name associated with your account, your public profile photo, and, for hosts, the city where your vehicle is located. It may also display your listing description, calendar availability, transaction-related information (to help others evaluate your reliability and responsiveness), and reviews or feedback about you. Additionally, your public listing page might include aggregate demand information (like the number of page views over time) and details about cancellations.

The Services may display the approximate geographic pick-up location of your vehicle. Your public profile and listing pages may also be indexed by search engines and appear in search results.


Sharing Between Hosts and Guests

Tammj enables car owners and individuals to share vehicles with others. When a booking is confirmed, we may provide your information to the other party as needed to facilitate the transaction. For example, we may share your mobile number to facilitate communication, your driver’s license details for identity verification, or your photograph for identification purposes. We may also provide the vehicle address and delivery location (if applicable) to the other party. Trip photos and captions you upload using the Trip Photo feature may also be shared.

Standard telephone charges may apply if communication occurs via text.


Service Providers

We may share your information with vendors and service providers who support our Services and business operations (e.g., web hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery, insurance, claims administration, roadside assistance, and customer support). For hosts using our photography program, your contact details may be shared with assigned photographers. These service providers are authorized to use your personal information only as directed by Tammj.


Third-Party Platforms and Social Media Networks

If you connect your Tammj account to a third-party platform or social media network (e.g., for authentication or sharing functionality), we may disclose information necessary to facilitate this connection. Note that we do not control how third parties use your information.


Professional Advisors

Your personal information may be shared with professional advisors like lawyers, bankers, auditors, and insurers as required during the provision of their services.


Business Transfers

In the event of a corporate divestiture, merger, consolidation, acquisition, or sale of assets, or in the case of bankruptcy or dissolution, we may transfer or share your personal information.


Legal Requests and Protection

We may disclose your personal information to comply with applicable laws, respond to valid legal requests, and ensure the security of Tammj, its users, and others. This may include responding to claims, criminal investigations, or potential legal violations.


Security

We use technical, physical, and organizational measures to safeguard your information. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.


Other Key Information

Cross-Border Data Transfers

Your personal information may be stored, processed, or used outside of your jurisdiction, including locations with varying data protection laws. This may subject your information to requests from local governments and law enforcement.

Sensitive Information

Do not share sensitive information (e.g., Social Security numbers, health information) unless explicitly requested.

Minors

Our Services are not intended for individuals under 18. If a minor’s information is shared inadvertently, their parent or guardian may contact us for deletion.

This policy does not cover the practices of third parties or linked services. Always review third-party privacy policies when accessing external platforms via our Services.
