PayMyPark Privacy Policy
What personal Information does PayMyPark Collect?
We collect information relating to you that you have provided to us (through registration, completing forms, contacting us, or using our products and services) or that we may have obtained from another source.
This could include your name, address, telephone numbers and any other information collected in relation to your use of our products and services. (Also see Statistical information in point 10)
Why do we collect personal information?
PayMyPark collects personal information from our customers and visitors to our site in order to carry out its functions, analysing, and responding to those queries and reports. We also provide information regarding your parking session to the relevant authority to enable the service to work, and to avoid infringement notices on your vehicle.

How do we collect personal information?
PayMyPark may ask you to provide some personal information when you complete an online form, for example by submitting information to PayMyPark through the site web form, or a form to subscribe to site updates or news, or as requested from PayMyPark.
Holding and retention of information
When you provide personal information, it will be held by PayMyPark. It may be stored or accessed on behalf of PayMyPark by authorised third parties (such as third-party contractors) to the extent that is necessary. We will store and keep it secure in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 and PayMyPark employees will be subject to PayMyPark’s information security and privacy requirements.
PayMyPark will only retain personal information for as long as it is required for the purposes for which the information may lawfully be used.
How does PayMyPark use personal information?
We will generally only use personal information provided to us for the purpose you provided it (for example, to administer, evaluate and improve the site, and to improve our services). We may also use personal information provided to us for other reasons permitted under the Privacy Act (with your consent, for a directly related purpose, or where the law permits or requires it).
The purpose of this privacy statement is to let users and customers of PayMyPark and this website know when we collect personal information and what we do with it. We do not use, share, or disclose personal information collected or received, except as set out in this statement.
Any aggregated information collected or shared by PayMyPark is anonymised and does not identify individuals. PayMyPark may share aggregated, anonymised information and reports with its partners.
Disclosure of information:
PayMyPark will not disclose personal information provided or collected unless you otherwise provide consent (for example, if we contact you to request consent to refer your queries to appropriate third-party agencies) or as required or otherwise permitted by law.
We will provide information regarding your parking session to the relevant parking authority to enable provision of the services, and notify the authority that your vehicle parking is paid.
Authorisation to disclose information
If you are contacting PayMyPark on behalf of another organisation, you should be authorised by the organisation to provide information to PayMyPark and to authorise sharing of information (including associated commercially sensitive information) with our other partners.
Voluntary disclosure of personal information
You may choose to voluntarily provide personal information to PayMyPark, for example to report incidents, or provide feedback. You may also report incidents anonymously (see Collection of personal information). You are not required by law to provide PayMyPark with personal information, although it may be required for PayMyPark to assist you with incidents.

-
find out from us whether we hold personal information about you
