Privacy Policy

How we handle your personal data

Last updated: September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data 4Drive Macedonia collects, why we collect it, and how we use and protect it. By using our website or submitting a booking, you agree to the practices described here.

Who We Are

4Drive Macedonia operates the website 4drivemacedonia.com. Our registered address is Aerodrom, Skopje, North Macedonia. We facilitate bookings with local vehicle rental companies across North Macedonia. Each rental agreement is signed directly with the company providing the vehicle.

If you have questions about how your data is handled, contact us at [email protected].

Data We Collect

When you use our website, we may collect the following types of information:

  • Contact details you submit via the contact form or review form - name, email address, message content.
  • Technical data generated automatically when you visit our site - IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, referring URL, time stamps.
  • Information submitted during the booking process, described below.

We do not collect payment card details directly. Card payments are processed by a third-party payment gateway, and we receive only confirmation of the advance payment.

Booking Data

When you make a booking through our site, you provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, pick-up and drop-off details, and driver licence information. This data is necessary to process your reservation and issue a booking voucher.

Your booking information is shared with the booking system that manages availability and reservations. It is also passed to the local rental company that will prepare your vehicle and sign the rental agreement with you at pick-up. The rental company uses this data to fulfil the contract and comply with local regulations.

We do not store full payment card numbers. Only the booking advance is processed online, and the remaining balance is settled at pick-up according to the terms shown in your voucher.

Cookies and Analytics

Our website uses cookies to improve functionality and understand how visitors use the site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They help us remember your preferences and analyse traffic patterns.

We use analytics tools to collect aggregated statistics about page views, session duration, and user behaviour. These tools may set cookies and collect anonymised technical data. You can manage cookie settings in your browser, but disabling cookies may affect some features of the site.

How We Use Data

We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

  • To process and confirm your booking, issue vouchers, and communicate with you about your reservation.
  • To respond to enquiries submitted via our contact form.
  • To publish reviews you submit, using the name and date you provide.
  • To improve the website, understand user needs, and fix technical issues.
  • To comply with legal obligations, such as record-keeping requirements.

We do not use your data for unsolicited marketing. You will only receive emails related to bookings you have made or enquiries you have submitted.

Sharing

We share your personal data only when necessary to fulfil a booking or comply with legal obligations. This includes:

  • The booking system and payment gateway that facilitate reservations and advance payments.
  • The local rental company that provides your vehicle and signs the rental agreement with you.
  • Law enforcement or regulatory authorities, if required by law.

We do not sell your data to third parties. We do not share it for advertising or unrelated commercial purposes. Third parties that process data on our behalf are required to protect it and use it only for the purposes we specify.

Retention

We retain booking data for the period necessary to fulfil the reservation and for record-keeping purposes, typically up to seven years from the date of the booking. Contact form messages and review submissions are kept for as long as they remain relevant to our operations.

Technical logs and analytics data are retained for a shorter period, usually up to two years, and are then deleted or anonymised.

Your Rights

You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. You can ask us to correct inaccurate information, delete your data, or restrict how we use it, subject to legal and contractual obligations.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, or if you have concerns about how your data is handled, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country if you believe we have not handled your data properly.
