Some zipcar GPS data is collected !

QT:{{”
Zipcars may be equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) vehicle tracking technology. GPS is a network of satellites that allows us to determine the location (latitude and longitude) of Zipcars. This information is transmitted to Zipcar and temporarily stored (including while it is hired to you). Zipcar uses this information for a variety of important purposes. For example, we use GPS data to help you find a car you have reserved, to provide roadside assistance when you need it, to ensure that a car is available at the place and time you have reserved, to alert us when a Zipcar is likely to be returned late and to locate lost or stolen Zipcars. We do not actively track or monitor vehicle location, and we do not store historical GPS data regarding vehicle location – we use GPS data only to determine the last reported location of Zipcars.
