Privacy Policy

We respect the privacy of our customers therefore we are committed to the following privacy policy, which is designed to give you peace of mind and confidence.

What personal information do we ask for?

When you have searched for prices and availability and are ready to confirm your booking, we will ask for your name, your postal address and your fax number and e-mail address (if applicable). We’ll also need your credit/debit card details (including card number, cardholder name and expiry date) in order to take payment and confirm the booking on-line. If you’re paying by debit card we may also need to take the start date and issue number of the card. We’ll also ask you for your telephone number in case we need to contact you urgently regarding your booking.

How does Parking4less use this personal information?

  • We need your ‘name’ so we can confirm to the hotel, lounge or car park operator who the booking is for.
  • We need your ‘credit card’ details so that we can collect payment for your booking.
  • We need your ‘name’ and ‘address’ to confirm that the credit card belongs to you.
  • We also need your ‘address’ so that we can send you your booking voucher and in case we have to write to you about any part of your booking in advance of your stay.
  • We might use your ‘telephone number’ or ‘e-mail address’ in the unlikely event that we need to contact you urgently about your booking.
  • We may also use this information to let you know about any special offers/promotions we think would be of interest to you.
  • We may also use your IP (Internet Protocol) address to diagnose problems with our server and administer the site – monitoring visitor traffic patterns and site usage to help us develop and improve the Parking4less site further.

How does Parking4less protect customer information?

All the information you give us is protected by a secure server. The secure server software SSL (Secure Socket Layers) encrypts all information you enter before it is sent to us. The information is only de-encrypted when it reaches our server. You can tell our site is secure as a small locked padlock will appear in the bottom left of your browser to show that you can safely send credit card details through our site. Another indicator is that our secure pages will not display a ‘security alert’ message. We also have a Firewall (security software) in place to protect our internal information from the Internet.

Does the Parking4less site use cookies?

Yes, Parking4less uses ‘temporary cookies’, which are only used during the booking process. (A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a web server to store on a web browser so it can later be read back from that browser. This is useful for having the browser remember some specific information (ref. Cookie Central)).

Will Parking4less disclose any of this personal information to third
parties?

Parking4less will only disclose your name and booking details to our suppliers (see above) for operational purposes. We will only pass on your details to other companies for marketing purposes if you have given us your permission to do so on the page where you enter your name and address. We won’t disclose credit/debit card numbers unless we believe in good faith that the law requires it.

Will Parking4less use the information I give for direct marketing?

Yes, but we ask you for your permission and we’ll only send you details of the products we offer. If you find that you’d rather not have any contact with us, apart from that which is necessary for us to give you our normal level of service, then please write to us at the address below. If you have any questions relating to our privacy policy, or, if at any time you believe that Parking4less has not adhered to it please let us know by sending an e-mail info@parking4less.com.

If you have other enquiries then please contact us .

Full Notice

GENERAL

• Before we provide services, goods or financing to you, we undertake checks for the purposes of preventing fraud and money laundering, and to verify your identity. These checks require us to process personal data about you.

• The personal data you have provided, we have collected from you, or we have received from third parties will be used to prevent fraud and money laundering, and to verify your identity.

• Details of the personal information that will be processed, for example, name, address, date of birth, address, contact details, financial information, employment details, device identifiers including IP address and vehicle details.

• We and fraud prevention agencies may also enable law enforcement agencies to access and use your personal data to detect, investigate and prevent crime.

• We process your personal data on the basis that we have a legitimate interest in preventing fraud and money laundering, and to verify identity, in order to protect our business and to comply with laws that apply to us. Such processing is also a contractual requirement of the services or financing you have requested.

• Fraud prevention agencies can hold your personal data for different periods of time, and if you are considered to pose a fraud or money laundering risk, your data can be held for up to six years.

AUTOMATED DECISIONS

• As part of the processing of your personal data, decisions may be made by automated means. This means we may automatically decide that you pose a fraud or money laundering risk or if our processing reveals your behaviour to be consistent with that of known fraudsters or money launderers, or is inconsistent with your previous submissions, or you appear to have deliberately hidden your true identity. You have rights in relation to automated decision making: if you want to know more please contact us using the details provided.

DATA TRANSFERS

• Whenever fraud prevention agencies transfer your personal data outside of the European Economic Area, they impose contractual obligations on the recipients of that data to protect your personal data to the standard required in the European Economic Area. They may also require the recipient to subscribe to ‘international frameworks’ intended to enable secure data sharing.

YOUR RIGHTS

• Your personal data is protected by legal rights, which include your rights to object to our processing of your personal data; request that your personal data is erased or corrected; request access to your personal data.

Where we store your personal information

The information that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). It may also be processed by suppliers operating outside the EEA who provide services for us. Such suppliers may be engaged in, among other things the provision of support services. By submitting your personal information, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology.
