Privacy policy

Who we are

Parkwise (“we”, “us”) operates the Parkwise mobile application and the website parkwise-app.com. We help drivers find verified street parking and car parks across the UK. For any privacy question, contact hello@parkwise-app.com.

What we collect

Account data — email address, username, and optional profile picture when you create an account.

Location data — your device location is used to show nearby parking and to validate contributions (for example, confirming you were near a location when you reported availability). Location is processed to deliver these features and is not sold to third parties.

Contribution data — availability reports, verifications, issue reports, photos of parking signs, and new location submissions you choose to make.

Waitlist data — if you join the launch waitlist on this website, we store your email address and the platform you chose, solely to notify you when the app launches.

How we use it

To operate the app: show parking near you, validate and reward contributions, maintain data quality through driver consensus, prevent abuse, and manage your access and points balance. We do not sell personal data.

Where it lives

Data is stored with Supabase (PostgreSQL) with access controls limiting each user to their own records. Contribution content (like sign photos) may be shown to other users and administrators as part of the verification process.

Your rights

You can delete your account — and the personal data attached to it — from Settings in the app at any time. You can also request access, correction, or deletion of your data by emailing hello@parkwise-app.com. UK GDPR applies; you may also complain to the ICO.

Cookies & analytics

This website uses no advertising cookies. Privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics may be used to understand which pages are useful.

Changes

We will update this page when the policy changes and note the date above. Material changes will be announced in the app.
