Privacy Policy

Effective January 1, 2026

Plain-English draft. This document is a starting template maintained by Sourced Rentals. It is not legal advice. Have it reviewed by an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction before relying on it.

This Privacy Policy describes how T1 Ventures, LLC dba Sourced Rentals ("Sourced Rentals," "we," "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects information about users of the sourcedrentals.com website and related apps (the "Platform").

1.Information we collect

Account information — name, email address, phone number, password (hashed), profile photo, and optional bio, city, and website.

Identity and insurance information — driver's license or insurance policy documents you upload to complete a rental. These are stored in a private, access-controlled bucket.

Listing content — equipment titles, descriptions, categories, prices, availability, photos, and location (city, ZIP, or approximate area).

Rental and messaging data — bookings, requests, in-app messages between Hosts and Renters, condition photos at pickup and return, reviews, and ratings.

Payment information — payment card, bank account, and payout details are collected and stored by our payment processor, Stripe. Sourced Rentals receives only limited data (card brand, last four digits, status) — we never store full card numbers or CVCs.

Location data — the approximate pickup/return address you enter on a listing or booking. If you opt in, we may use your device's GPS to power "near me" search. We do not continuously track vehicle location, and we do not share precise GPS with other users.

Device and usage data — IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, timestamps, referrer, and error logs. Collected via standard server logs and analytics cookies.

Cookies — session cookies for authentication, functional cookies for preferences, and optional analytics cookies. You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings.

2.How we use information

  • To create and secure your account and authenticate your sessions.
  • To operate the marketplace — publish listings, process bookings, connect Hosts and Renters, generate receipts and Rental Agreements.
  • To process payments, deposits, payouts, refunds, and tax reporting through Stripe.
  • To send transactional email (booking confirmations, receipts, messages, security alerts) from notify.sourcedrentals.com.
  • To detect fraud, enforce our Terms, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.
  • To improve the Platform — measure performance, debug errors, and develop new features.
  • With your consent, to send optional marketing email; you can unsubscribe from any marketing message.

3.How we share information

We share personal information only as described below:

  • Between Host and Renter: the counterparty sees your first name, profile photo, ratings, in-app messages, and — after a booking is confirmed — the phone number and pickup address needed to complete the rental.
  • Payment processor (Stripe): to charge cards, hold deposits, and pay out Hosts.
  • Infrastructure providers: hosting, database, email delivery, and analytics vendors bound by data-processing agreements.
  • Insurance carriers: if a Host requires proof of insurance, we store the certificate or declarations page you upload and share it with the Host to satisfy that requirement. Sourced Rentals is not an insurer and does not file or administer claims — those are handled directly between you and your third-party carrier.
  • Legal and safety: to comply with subpoenas, court orders, tax reporting, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of any person.
  • Business transfers: if Sourced Rentals is acquired or merged, information may transfer to the successor subject to this Policy.

We do not sell your personal information.

4.Data retention

We keep account and rental records as long as your account is active and afterwards as required for financial, tax, dispute, and legal purposes (typically up to 7 years for transaction records). Message threads and condition photos are retained for the life of the associated booking record. You may request deletion of your account at any time (see Section 6); records required for legal or tax compliance may be retained in redacted form.

5.Security

We use industry-standard safeguards including TLS in transit, encryption at rest for uploaded documents and messages, hashed passwords, row-level security in our database, and access controls on private storage buckets. No system is perfectly secure — please use a strong, unique password and enable two-factor authentication on your email account.

6.Your rights and choices

  • Access and correction: view and edit your profile, listings, and insurance details in your account settings.
  • Deletion: delete your account from the Profile page. We remove or anonymize your personal information subject to legal retention.
  • Marketing opt-out: unsubscribe from any marketing email; transactional messages will continue.
  • Location: revoke browser geolocation permission at any time in your device settings.
  • California, Colorado, Virginia, and other US state rights: you may have additional rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of certain processing. Email privacy@sourcedrentals.com to exercise them. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.
  • EEA/UK users: the legal bases we rely on are contract performance, legitimate interests (fraud prevention, product improvement), consent (marketing, precise location), and legal obligation. You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

7.Children

The Platform is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact us and we will delete it.

8.International transfers

Sourced Rentals is operated from the United States and stores information on servers located in the United States. If you access the Platform from outside the US, you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the US.

9.Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date and, where required, notified to you by email.
