Our patrol sites process ‘Personal Data’ in two categories

  1. Windscreen Parking Charge

If you have received a Parking Charge Notice on your windscreen, at the point the notice is placed on your windscreen, we will have obtained your personal details, which could include images of your vehicle, occupants/bystanders and the vehicle registration number.

If you or a third party pay the Parking Charge Notice within 28 days, your personal details will not be retained for longer than 3 months.

Where there is an unpaid fee over 28 days, we may request personal details of the registered keeper of the vehicle from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency “DVLA” and other third parties (for example the registered keeper or hire companies where applicable) who may possess information which could assist in resolving any dispute.

The personal details we will obtain include:

  1. The name and address of the registered keeper;
  2. The make, model and colour of the vehicle;
  3. Confirmation of the registration number;
  4. Any other information that we gather, in pursuance of the unpaid fee, including information that is shared by you with us.

Your data will be held for sufficient time to enable the fee to be settled, by you or another person and resolve any dispute. However, your data will not normally be held for longer than 6 years in such circumstances. In some circumstances your data may be held for longer than 6 years. Examples of when we may hold your data for longer are;

  1. When there is an ongoing dispute which requires us to hold the data for longer than normal.
  2. Where a court order has been made allowing us to pursue outstanding money after the expiration of 6 years.
  1. Postal Parking Charge

If you have received a Parking Charge Notice by post, we will have previously obtained your personal details, which could include images of your vehicle, occupants/bystanders and the vehicle registration.

We will also have obtained personal details of the registered keeper of the vehicle from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency ‘DVLA’.

The personal details received from the DVLA include:

  1. The name and address of the registered keeper;
  2. The make, model and colour of the vehicle;
  3. Confirmation of the registration number;
  4. Any other information that we gather, in pursuance of the unpaid fee, including information that is shared by you with us.

Your data will be held for sufficient time to enable the fee to be settled, by you or another person and resolve any dispute. However, your data will not normally be held for longer than 6 years in such circumstances. In some circumstances your data may be held for longer than 6 years. Examples of when we may hold your data for longer are;

  3. Appeals

If you decide to challenge a parking charge and we reject your challenge, then we will provide your registration number and parking charge number along with the time and date of the parking event to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS) and/or the International Parking Committee (IPC). This is to allow you to contest the charge with an independent adjudicator.
