Your privacy is important to us and we are committed to protecting the personal information which we collect from you.

This Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage personal information about you including personal information collected through our website.
COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
We generally collect personal information, being information that can identify you, directly from you, but may also collect personal information about you from third parties.
There may, however, be some instances where personal information about you will be collected indirectly because it is unreasonable or impractical to collect personal information directly from you. For example, we may also collect personal information about you from third parties acting on your behalf. We will usually notify you about these instances as soon as reasonably practicable after the information has been collected.
Where we receive personal information which we did not solicit, and is not required by us, we will take steps to de-identify the information and ensure its confidential destruction as soon as practicable.
If you access our website, we may collect additional personal information about you in the form of your IP address and domain name.

We use your personal information to provide our services to you, to seek your feedback and improve our service, to carry out management and administrative activities, to conduct research and to communicate with you.
Your personal information may be disclosed to our related entities, service providers and contractors, auditors, and we may be required, as a result of contractual obligations, to disclose personal information we collect to landlords of parking facilities we operate.
Unless otherwise directed by you, you consent to us using any of the information collected from you (including personal information) for marketing purposes.
