4. Our Lawful Bases for Processing
Under UK GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely upon:
Contract
Where processing is necessary to provide a service you have requested or fulfil our contractual obligations to you.
Legitimate Interests
Where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
Examples include operating and improving ParksGo, preventing fraud, maintaining security and communicating with existing business users about relevant services.
Consent
Where you have specifically agreed to a particular use of your information, such as certain forms of marketing or non-essential cookies.
You may withdraw your consent at any time.
Legal Obligation
Where we are required to process or retain information to comply with applicable law.
5. Sharing Information With Transport Operators
A fundamental part of ParksGo is connecting customers with suitable transport operators.
When you submit a transport opportunity, relevant information about the job may therefore be made available to registered ParksGo operators.
This may include information such as collection and delivery areas, transport requirements, dates, photographs and other information required to assess the job.
Contact information may be shared where necessary to facilitate an accepted job or otherwise provide the requested service.
6. Sharing Information With Third-Party Providers
Where you request information or a quotation for an additional ParksGo service, we may share your details with an appropriate third-party provider.
For example, this may apply when you request:
- A fuel card
- A business mobile quotation
- An insurance quotation
- Vehicle or asset finance
- Another business service promoted through ParksGo
We will only share information reasonably necessary to process the enquiry.
Once your information has been provided to an independent third-party provider, that organisation may become a separate data controller and will process your information in accordance with its own privacy policy.
7. Other Organisations We May Share Data With
We may also use trusted organisations to help us operate ParksGo, including providers of:
- Website hosting
- Cloud infrastructure
- Email delivery
- Payment processing
- Analytics
- Customer support
- IT and cybersecurity
- Professional legal and accounting services
These organisations are only provided with information necessary to perform their services and, where required, are contractually required to protect your personal information.
We may also disclose information where required by law, regulation, court order or a legitimate request from a competent authority.
8. Payments
Where payments are made through ParksGo, payment processing may be provided by a specialist third-party payment provider.
ParksGo does not necessarily receive or store your complete debit or credit card details. Payment information may instead be submitted directly to the relevant payment processor.
The payment provider will process information according to its own privacy and security policies.
9. Marketing Communications
We may send you information about ParksGo services, operator opportunities and relevant business benefits where we have an appropriate lawful basis to do so.
Where consent is required, we will ask for it.
You can unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option contained within an email or by contacting us.
Service-related communications necessary for operating your account or completing a transaction are not considered marketing communications.
10. Cookies
ParksGo may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand how visitors use the platform and improve our services.
Some cookies are essential for the website to function.
Where required by law, non-essential cookies such as analytics or advertising cookies will not be placed until you have provided the appropriate consent.
Further information should be provided within our Cookie Policy and cookie consent system.
11. How Long We Keep Your Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Retention periods may vary depending upon:
- The type of information
- Whether you have an active ParksGo account
- Our contractual relationship with you
- Legal and regulatory requirements
- Accounting requirements
- Fraud prevention
- The need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims
When information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it where appropriate.
12. How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:
- Unauthorised access
- Accidental loss
- Disclosure
- Alteration
- Destruction
- Misuse
These measures may include access controls, secure hosting, encryption, authentication, monitoring, backups and appropriate internal procedures.
However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
13. International Data Transfers
Some of the technology and service providers used by ParksGo may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer complies with applicable UK data protection legislation.
This may include relying upon UK adequacy regulations or appropriate contractual safeguards.
14. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you the right to:
- Request access to your personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information
- Request restriction of processing
- Object to certain processing
- Request transfer of your information
- Withdraw consent where processing relies upon consent
These rights are not absolute and exemptions may apply.
We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.
15. Automated Decision-Making
ParksGo does not intend to make decisions that have significant legal or similarly significant effects on individuals solely through automated processing unless this is clearly explained and permitted by applicable law.
16. Children’s Privacy
ParksGo is a business and transport platform and is not intended for use by children.
Users must meet any minimum age requirements specified within our Terms & Conditions.
17. Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to websites operated by other organisations.
ParksGo is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to ParksGo, our services, technology or applicable legislation.
The latest version will be published on the ParksGo website together with the date it was last updated.
