While we will delete all personally identifiable information, we may continue to store prior location and other information without personal identifiers for the purpose of research.
As with any deletion process, things like routine maintenance, unexpected outages, bugs, or failures in our protocols may cause delays in the processes and time frames defined in this policy. We maintain systems designed to detect and remediate such issues.
How ParkYou! retains data we collect
Some data you can delete whenever you like, some data is deleted automatically, and some data we retain for longer periods of time when necessary. This section describes why we hold onto different types of data for different periods of time.
- Information retained until you remove it - such as your “Home, “work”, favorites, email address and other account related information. We’ll keep this data in your ParkYou! Account until you choose to remove it and/or update it.
- Information retained until your ParkYou! Account is deleted - we may keep some data for the life of your ParkYou! Account if it’s useful for helping us understand how users interact with our features and how we can improve our services.

When you delete your ParkYou! Account, the information about how many reports you have submitted is also removed.
- Information retained for extended time periods for limited purposes - sometimes business and legal requirements oblige us to retain certain information, for specific purposes, for an extended period of time. For example, when ParkYou! processes a payment for you, we’ll retain this data for longer periods of time as required for tax or accounting purposes. Reasons we might retain some data for extended periods of time include:
- Security, fraud & abuse prevention
- Financial record-keeping
- Complying with legal or regulatory requirements
- Ensuring the continuity of our services

How does ParkYou! use aggregated information?
ParkYou! may use anonymous, statistical or aggregated information (including anonymous location information), in a form that does not enable the identification of a specific user, to properly operate the Services, to improve the quality of the Services, to enhance your experience, to create new services and features, including customized services, to change or cancel existing content or service, and for further internal, commercial and statistical purposes.
ParkYou! may also use anonymous, statistical or aggregated information collected on the Services, in a form that does not enable the identification of a specific user, by posting, disseminating, transmitting or otherwise communicating or making available such information to users of the Services, to the Services’ providers, partners and any other third party. For example, GPS information that we receive from your mobile device may be provided to map editors in an aggregated and/or anonymous form to help improve the map and solve map problems, parking data may be provided to cities, and aggregated ads analysis may be provided to advertisers if we run advertisements.
Cookies
ParkYou! may use cookies and similar technologies on the Services. Cookies are packets of information sent by the Website’s servers to your web browser and then sent back by the browser each time it accesses the Website’s servers.
ParkYou! may use cookies for various purposes, such as to save you the need to re-enter your personal and automobile information each time you log in, to facilitate the use of the Website, to collect statistical information, to verify information, and to customize the Website or Application to your personal preferences and for information security purposes.
Some of the cookies may expire when the session ends and you exit your browser. Other cookies are saved on your computer’s hard drive.

Information security
ParkYou! considers information security to be a top priority. ParkYou! services are built with strong security features that continuously protect your information. ParkYou! implements systems, applications and procedures to secure your personal information, to minimize the risk of theft, damage, loss of information, or unauthorized access or use of information. For example, we review our information collection, storage, and processing practices, including physical security measures, to prevent unauthorized access to our systems. In addition, we restrict access to personal information to ParkYou! employees, contractors, and agents who need that information in order to process it. Anyone with this access is subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations and may be disciplined or terminated if they fail to meet these obligations.
The insights we gain from maintaining our services help us detect and automatically block security threats from ever reaching you.
However, these measures are unable to provide absolute assurance. Therefore, although ParkYou! takes great efforts to protect your personal information, ParkYou! cannot guarantee and you cannot reasonably expect that ParkYou!’s databases will be immune from any wrongdoings, malfunctions, unlawful interceptions or access, or other kinds of abuse and misuse.
Compliance & cooperation with regulators
We regularly review this Privacy Policy and make sure that we process your information in ways that comply with it.
Data transfers
We store data on servers located around the world and your information may be processed on servers located outside of the country where you live. Data protection laws vary among countries, with some providing more protection than others. Regardless of where your information is processed, we apply the same protections described in this policy.
When we receive formal written complaints, we respond by contacting the person who made the complaint. We work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of your data that we cannot resolve with you directly.

COMMUNITY RULES
The ParkYou! community (the “Community”) consists of all users of the ParkYou! service. All users of the Service must abide by the following ParkYou! Community Rules (the “Rules”). Failure to abide by the Rules may result in the termination of your rights to use the Service at ParkYou!’s sole and exclusive discretion.
- ParkYou!’s Service shall be used solely for the purpose of offering street parking spots to the ParkYou! community (the “Community”), finding and accepting such parking spots, and participating in ParkYou’s Rewards Program. All other uses are prohibited without the prior written permission of ParkYou!.
- Only offer a parking spot to the Community after you arrive at your currently parked car and confirm that the location of your current parking spot is accurate on the app. If the location is inaccurate you must type in the accurate address closest to the location or tap on the map to set the accurate location before clicking the “Offer a Spot” button.
- Do not offer free parking spots that will become unavailable prior to the following morning, or those that require the spot to be vacated prior to 7:30am the next day, unless such spot is in a primarily commercial area and a Community member searching for a spot (a “Finder”) will be able to park in that spot for at least two (2) hours.
- Do not offer parking spots that are unavailable to private vehicles. For example, if parking at your spot is “commercial only” at the time you are parked there, do not offer the spot.
- Do not offer spots that are within twelve feet (12’) of a fire hydrant or any other spot in which it is illegal to park.
- A spot offerer (“Offerer”) may cancel their offer at any time before such offer is accepted by a Finder, but may not cancel their offer or vacate their spot once that spot has been accepted by a Finder before the Finder arrives.
- A Finder may cancel their search at any time prior to accepting an offered spot or decline any offered spot. Once a spot is accepted, a Finder must drive to that spot and exchange it with the Offerer even if the Finder spots other available spots on the way to the accepted spot.
- On arrival at an accepted spot, a Finder must click the Confirm Arrival button on the app to notify the Offerer that they have arrived. The Offerer must click the Spot Vacated button just before or just after vacating the spot. Both the Offerer and Finder must click their respective Finish buttons to complete the exchange.
- Any violation of these Rules may be reported to ParkYou! through the Contact Us page on the Site or the App. When reporting Rules violations, please include your name, mobile number attached to your ParkYou! account, the date, time and location of the violation, and a description of the event. ParkYou! will make an effort to investigate the claim and take appropriate action.
