The legal basis for our processing of personal data depends upon the specific personal data and processing concerned.

    • to assist third party advertisers or advertising networks to promote advertisements that they consider you may find interesting (see the next section ‘Marketing communications’ for more details);

    • personal data may be aggregated and anonymised to give trends and themes and you may receive targeted communications based upon the overall analysis;

    • as part of our commitment in providing customers with the best service possible, this information may be used as part of internal assessments around the quality of the services we provide;

    • research around customer activity and our products (including customer surveys);

    • to detect and prevent fraud;

    • to ensure we comply with legal and regulatory duties;

    • to ensure that content from our website is presented in the most effective manner for you and your device;

Marketing communications

We particularly want to draw your attention to our use of your personal data to send you information about promotional offers (for example, limited time discounts at particular airports), technical updates and new site features. Depending upon your marketing preferences we may also share some of your personal details with advertisers and advertising networks, to enable them to promote our products and services to you through other media, for example social media sites.
When you make a booking you will have the opportunity to select your marketing preferences. You can change your preferences at any time.
If you wish to unsubscribe, please select the “Click this link to unsubscribe” option at the foot of any promotional email that you may receive from us to prevent any future promotional marketing being sent to you via email. You can also email us at [email protected]

Your rights under data protection law

You benefit from a number of rights in respect of the personal data we hold about you. We have summarized your rights below, and more information is available from the Information Commissioner’s Office website (https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/). These rights apply for the period in which we process your data.

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

  • request access to and obtain a copy of your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”);
  • request correction of the personal information that we hold about you should any information be incomplete or inaccurate;
  • request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below);
  • object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes;
  • request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it;
  • request the transfer of your personal information to another party.

If you wish to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact the ParkingZone Data Protection Manager at [email protected]

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, the Company may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive.

Where you make a request in respect of your rights we will require proof of identification. We may also ask that you clarify your request.

Automated decision making

Automated decision making means making a decision solely by automated means without any human involvement. This would include, for example, an online credit reference check that makes a decision based on information you input without any human involvement. You can object to automated decision making, however if this means we cannot complete our processes it may mean that we’re not able to offer you the full range of our services.

We don’t carry out any automated decision making using your personal data.

What to do if you want to complain about the processing of information about you

If you have a complaint about how we are processing your personal data, please get in touch with our ParkingZone Data Protection Manager at [email protected] who will review your complaint with you.

If you are dissatisfied with the way we have handled your personal data and we are unable to resolve the matter for you, you may take your complaint to the relevant supervisory authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office). Further details can be found via the Information Commissioner’s Office website at www.ico.org.uk.

We occasionally change our privacy policy. We recommend that you check the privacy policy on a regular basis, to make sure you understand the activities we carry out in respect of processing personal data.
