Name – this is needed to identify you in the provision of our service. It will be shared with parking space operators you make a booking with and users on our platform which you send messages to.
Email - we’ll send emails to you about your bookings and the Parkwell service. We may share your email with third parties (including parking space operators).
Photos -we provide photo to parking space operators so they can identify you and for the sake of personalising any reviews you leave about parking spaces on our platform.
Number plate - we store this for enforcement and identification purposes. We share this with third party enforcement agencies (when there’s need for it) and parking space operators along with parking session dates and times, and sometimes your name, subject to terms outlined in separate Data Sharing Agreements held between Parkwell and these third parties.
IP Address - this is used by us and some of our third-party providers to identify your device in the provision of our service. It is also used for fraud checks and to ensure a secure product.
Payment method - payment method details you provide (including name, email address and sometimes address) are sent directly to PCI-compliant third party payment providers. They are not stored on Parkwell servers and Parkwell employees do not have access to these details.
Booking history - we store a history of where and when you’ve booked parking to make repeat use faster and easier for you, and in the interest of your and our accounting purposes.

We may also use it so as to make payment services faster and better. Parkwell may contact you via phone should there be any issues with your bookings or account.
Reviews - if you choose to leave a review for a parking location, this will be shown to other drivers considering booking the space. Reviews and Ratings are a part of your public profile page and may also be surfaced elsewhere on the Parkwell Platform (such as the Listing page).
Location data - if you choose to enable location services, we will occasionally store your location services data to improve our parking availability engine - which helps us show you and other drivers when we think spaces will be available to park in. You can stop this data from being stored by turning off your location services.

Space description - this is a public-facing description you provide when adding your space which helps drivers decide if a space is suitable.
Photos of your space - these public-facing photos help drivers decide if a space is suitable and help them access it on arrival.
Facilities - these are public-facing space attributes, which you can optionally provide to help drivers decide if a space is suitable for them.

PIN code for accessing space - if you provide a pin code (i.e. for a gate) it is given to drivers to help them access your space. It is not shown to the driver until they have paid to park in your space. Once the parking session has finished, it is hidden from the driver.
