Privacy Policy & Privacy Notice

Privacy Policy

 This policy explains how Green Parking Ltd. uses the personal information collected from you.  It also describes how long that information is kept for and the limited circumstance in which we might disclose it to third parties.

 Personal details we hold

Green Parking Ltd. holds three types of personal information which allows us to manage our car park locations.

1. Customer provided information: customers’ contact details, their vehicle registration numbers and payment preferences are used to administer accounts and one-off payments for parking within our car parks.
2. Customer contact records – emails and postal interactions with our website and head office are maintained for audit, training and service improvement purposes.
3. Parking Records – Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras capture images and record vehicle registrations whenever a vehicle uses one of our car parks. These are retained as evidence in the event of a dispute.

In the event of non-payment of a parking tariff or unauthorised parking, the details of the registered keeper are provided to Green Parking by The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). This allows us to issue Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) for non-payment of a parking charge. It also enables the Driver to challenge the PCN.

 Length of time information will be held

In order to comply with the General Data Protection Regulations, your details will only be kept for the shortest time required.  This will vary according to the type of data being held.

How to access your personal data

If you wish to see full details of the information Green Parking Ltd. holds in connection with you, you will need to make a subject access request under the General Data Protection Regulations.  If you’ve received a PCN, we will have a maximum of four images, should you wish to obtain any of these images we might hold of your vehicle, or other personal data which we hold, you must make a formal subject access request.  If you have not received a PCN there are only limited circumstances in which we might retain images of your vehicle.  You will still need to submit a subject access request to obtain such images.  To initiate a subject access request, email: info@green-parking.co.uk or call us on 01372 462 156.
