Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how MyPark Corp ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our mobile application, MyPark (the "Application"), and our related services.

1. Information We Collect

The table below summarizes the categories of personal data MyPark accesses, collects, and uses:

Information You Provide to Us

We collect information you provide directly to us when you create an account, make a reservation, contact support, or interact with our services. This may include:

• Account Information: Name, email address, phone number, and password.
• Payment Information: When you make a booking, your payment details are processed by our third-party payment processor (Stripe). We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
• Communication Data: Any information you provide when contacting our help desk or support team.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Application, we automatically collect certain information, including:

• Location Data (Precise — Foreground & Background): MyPark collects your precise GPS location. This is core to the app's functionality and is collected:
  • While the app is in use (Foreground): To display nearby parking lots sorted by distance and to show your position on the map.
  • While the app is in the background (Background): Only when you have an active reservation. This allows us to provide turn-by-turn navigation to your spot and send proximity alerts as you approach your reserved location. You explicitly grant this permission; it is not collected silently.
  Permissions requested:
  • Android: ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (precise GPS), ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION (approximate network location), and ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION (background access for active reservations).
  • iOS: "When In Use" location authorization (foreground use) and "Always" authorization (background use during active reservations).
  Your precise location data is used only to provide the parking services described above. It is never sold, rented, shared with advertisers, or used for ad targeting.
• Device Information: We collect information about the mobile device you use to access the Application, including the hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information.
• Usage Information: We collect logs about your use of the Application, such as the pages viewed, time spent, and crash reports.
• Camera Access: We request access to your camera to enable features such as credit card scanning for faster payment entry.
• Microphone Access: On Android, the camera API requires the RECORD_AUDIO permission to function. We do not record, store, or transmit audio from your device. The microphone permission is a system-level dependency of the camera feature only.
• Push Notifications: With your permission, we send push notifications for booking confirmations, proximity alerts, and service updates. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings.

2. Third-Party Services

The Application utilizes third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. We use these services to improve performance, provide authentication, and process payments:

• Google Play Services
• Google Analytics for Firebase & Firebase Crashlytics
• Stripe (Payment Processing)
• Apple Authentication

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the MyPark services.
• Process transactions and send related information, including confirmations and receipts.
• Send you push notifications for booking confirmations, proximity alerts when approaching your reserved spot, and reservation updates. You must explicitly grant notification permission and can revoke it at any time in your device Settings.
• Send you technical notices, security alerts, and support messages.
• Personalize your experience by showing you the closest parking options based on your location.
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities.

4. Data Retention and Account Deletion

5. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access. We use encryption (SSL/TLS) for data in transit and follow industry best practices for data storage.

6. Children's Privacy

The Application is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Application after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Privacy Policy.
