Privacy Policy for ParkEasy
Last updated: 19 August 2026
Summary: ParkEasy is a parking management app for business operators. On Local and Professional plans, parking data stays on your phone. If you enable optional Cloud Workspace, selected operational data is synced to our servers so multiple gate phones can work together. We do not sell your data or show ads in the app.
1. Who we are
ParkEasy (“the App”) is developed and operated by Divinity Inception (“we”, “us”, “our”). This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you use the App on Android, including optional Google Play subscriptions and optional multi-device cloud features.
Contact: divinityinception@gmail.com
2. Scope — two ways the App can run
Device-local (Local / Professional / trial on one phone): parking data stays on your Android device. We do not receive your parking records, vehicle numbers, or photos.
Cloud Workspace (optional Team / Business cloud plans): operational parking data for your workspace is synced to our cloud API so owner and staff phones can share the same live data. Photos of number plates are not uploaded to the cloud in the current product.
You choose whether to create or join a Cloud Workspace. Staff phones join only with a workspace code and an app login created by the owner.
3. Information we process
3.1 Data that stays on your device (all plans)
- Parking sessions (entry/exit times, ticket numbers, vehicle type, vehicle number, fees, payment type)
- Settings (capacity, pricing, currency/country, printer config, receipt text)
- Optional camera photos of vehicles / number plates (if you use capture features)
- Local backups, PDF reports, and exports you create
- Optional Owner PIN (stored on the device)
- App language preference for that phone
- On-duty / shift names you enter for shift close (device or cloud, depending on mode)
We do not receive this local data unless you enable Cloud Workspace (section 3.3) or you yourself send us files (for example by emailing a backup or report for support).
3.2 Device identifiers (license and cloud devices)
The App may use a stable Android device identifier (or similar) to:
- Bind optional device-local license / subscription state on that phone
- Register and manage phones in a Cloud Workspace (device list, revoke, history-upload rights)
We do not use device identifiers for advertising or cross-app tracking.
3.3 Cloud Workspace data (only if you use cloud)
When Cloud Workspace is enabled, the App sends and stores on our cloud servers data needed to run multi-device operations, including:
- Account: owner username, password hash (not plain password), optional staff usernames and password hashes, owner contact email
- Workspace: workspace name, hashed join code, settings JSON (pricing/capacity and related configuration)
- Operations: parking sessions (vehicle number, type, ticket, times, fees, payment fields), monthly/vehicle passes, outstanding payment records, shift closure summaries
- Devices: device id, label, last seen, role linkage, revoke / history-upload flags
- Subscription proof for cloud: Google Play product id / purchase token metadata needed to verify Team or Business entitlement (payments are processed by Google)
Not uploaded to cloud (current version): number-plate / vehicle photos and camera images remain on each phone.
Owner email is collected when creating a cloud workspace for account support and subscription-related notices. It is not shared with staff logins or with other parking operators.
3.4 Google Play Billing
Subscriptions (Local, Professional, Cloud Team, Cloud Business) are sold through Google Play Billing. Google processes payment card details according to Google’s policies. We receive purchase/entitlement status needed to unlock features; we do not receive your full card number.
3.5 Data we do not collect
- We do not use third-party advertising SDKs or in-app ads
- We do not use analytics/advertising trackers such as Firebase Analytics or AdMob in the current App
- We do not sell personal data
- We do not access your contacts, precise GPS location, or SMS
4. Why we process data (purposes)
- Provide parking entry, exit, printing, reports, and settings on your device
- Optional multi-device sync and backup of operational data for Cloud Workspace subscribers
- Authenticate owner and staff app logins; manage connected phones
- Verify subscriptions and cloud entitlements
- Account support and important service notices (using owner email when provided)
- Security, abuse prevention, and legal compliance
5. Legal bases (where applicable)
Depending on your region (for example EEA/UK), we process data under:
- Contract — to provide the App features you request (including cloud sync you enable)
- Legitimate interests — security, fraud prevention, service improvement of a business tool
- Consent — where required (for example certain device permissions such as camera)
- Legal obligation — when we must retain or disclose information by law
6. Permissions used by the App
- Internet / network: subscriptions restore, Cloud Workspace sync, optional license checks
- Camera: optional capture of vehicle / number-plate images for your local workflow
- Bluetooth: connect to compatible receipt printers
- Storage / files (as offered by Android): backups, PDFs, and exports you choose to save or share
Permissions are used only for these features.
7. Sharing and processors
We do not sell your information. We may share limited data with:
- Google Play — billing and subscription verification
- Hosting / infrastructure providers — to run the Cloud Workspace API and database under our control
- Professional advisers or authorities — only when required by law or to protect rights and safety
Staff in your own parking business see only the operational data your workspace shares through the App; they do not receive the owner’s contact email from the App’s staff experience.
8. Retention
- On-device data: retained until you delete it, clear app data, uninstall, or overwrite via restore
- Cloud Workspace data: retained while the workspace exists and as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, or meet legal duties; owner tools may clear certain cloud parking records; leaving a workspace removes that phone’s access (server data for the tenant may remain until the workspace is closed/deleted per our support process)
- Photos: remain on the device under your retention settings (for example delete on exit or after a number of days)
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, including HTTPS for production cloud traffic, hashed passwords for cloud accounts, and device/app access controls such as an optional Owner PIN. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. You are responsible for protecting phones, PINs, workspace join codes, staff passwords, and any backup files you export.
10. International transfers
If you use Cloud Workspace, your workspace data may be processed on servers that are not in your country. By enabling cloud features you instruct us to process that data to provide the service.
11. Your choices and rights
- Use the App in device-local mode without creating a Cloud Workspace
- Disable camera capture features; clear vehicle photos in Settings
- Leave a Cloud Workspace from the App (staff may need password confirmation)
- Manage or cancel Play subscriptions in Google Play
- Request support about access, correction, or deletion of cloud account data by emailing us
If you are in a region with data-protection rights (such as access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, or objection), contact us and we will respond as required by applicable law.
12. Children’s privacy
ParkEasy is a business tool for parking operators and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for the App.
13. Third-party links and services
The App may open system intents (email, file share, Play Store). Those services have their own privacy policies.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the App evolves (for example new cloud features). The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy. For material cloud-related changes we may also notify owners via the contact email on file when practical.
