I. INTRODUCTION This chapter outlines the features related to the collection and protection of PID data in CARS+.
In the process of opening a rental agreement, a significant amount of personal data is collected concerning the renter. This includes their address, phone numbers, credit card information, drivers license number and other government issued identification numbers. CARS+ can be configured to:
  • Require specific fields of PID data before allowing a rental to take place.
  • Mask much of this data once entered to protect it from "prying eyes".

This chapter summarizes the set up for requiring and protecting PID data.
