2. Data Security

We look after your personal data by having security that is appropriate for its nature and the harm that might result from a breach of security. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site, any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. Those with whom we share data are also required to process your data in-line with contractual safeguards and data protection law requirements.

3. What data is processed when you use ParkMaven car parks?

3.1 What data do we collect?

When you use a ParkMaven car park, we collect and process data consisting of images of vehicles entering, exiting or otherwise using the car park and/or the Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM).

If the contractual parking terms and conditions are breached, a Parking Charge Notice will be issued. The data we process when issuing a Parking Charge Notice includes the recipient’s name and address, images of the vehicle, its details and movement whilst using the car park and the Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM).

If you submit an appeal in relation to a Parking Charge, or otherwise correspond with us you may provide us with additional personal data, the data we process may include: the VRM; your name, address, email and phone number, a Parking Charge or other reference number, IP address, the capacity in which you are appealing (e.g. keeper, driver, hirer), and any other information you provide within any correspondence or appeal, including any documentation you share with us. If you correspond with us by post, we may use a third party to scan and categorise the mail and place it onto our systems, to return your documents and to bank payments.

3.b How do we collect data?

Images of vehicles and VRMs are collected via ANPR cameras and/or attendants on-site. Where in operation VRM data may also be collected and processed via the payment and/or terminals systems.

If you have received a Parking Charge Notice and you are the registered keeper of the vehicle, as held by the relevant vehicle licensing agency, then your data has been provided by the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA) or international equivalent.

If you are not the registered keeper of the vehicle, then your data has been provided by:

A third party who has confirmed that you were responsible for the vehicle on that date;
A third party who has confirmed that you were driving the vehicle on that date;
A third party who has confirmed that the vehicle was on hire or leased to you on that date.

If you no longer live at the address held by the DVLA, then your data has been provided by:

A third party now living at the property whom has confirmed that you no longer live at that address and has supplied a forwarding address; or
A third party credit reference agency.

If you submit an appeal or otherwise correspond with us, the data processed by us will be as provided by you within that appeal or correspondence. Where someone appeals or corresponds with us on your behalf with your authority, then the data processed will be as provided within the documentation we receive from them.

4. What if you provide sensitive data within an appeal or correspondence?

Depending upon the nature and content of your appeal or correspondence, the information or documentation provided may be classed as “special category” personal data and will therefore be considered to be more sensitive.

Examples include: personal identity numbers, financial account information, information about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious, philosophical or other similar beliefs, or information about an individual’s physical or mental health.

The information on the correspondence issued by us explains that we and our processors will process any special category data provided based upon your explicit disclosure of that information.

If you wish to withdraw your consent, please contact us using the details provided below.
