Summary

Parkify is a student-focused parking availability app for Maynooth University. We collect information needed to run the service and keep the community reports useful. Where we mention publicly visible information, it is based on reports submitted by users.

Information we collect

• Reports you submit: car park selection, status you report, optional notes, and the time your report is created. If the app allows attachments, we may also process optional media (such as photos).
• Account or sign-in information (if applicable): basic profile details needed to manage your account and support requests.
• Usage and performance data: technical data (e.g. device/app version, logs) and analytics to help us understand performance and improve reliability.
• Communication: messages you send to support (such as emails) and records of those interactions.

How we use information

• To operate Parkify and display community parking reports.
• To moderate and manage reports so content remains useful and relevant.
• To improve performance, security, and user experience.
• To respond to support requests and handle service issues.

Publicly visible parking information

Parking status signals are community-powered. Reports submitted by users may be shown to other users to help them make better parking decisions. This information is not guaranteed and may be delayed.

Parking status is based on community-submitted reports and may not always reflect real-time conditions.

Data storage and security

We store information on secure systems and apply reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

Analytics and third-party services

We may use analytics and performance tools to understand how Parkify is used and to improve stability. Where third parties are used, we aim to select services that provide appropriate privacy protections.

Your choices

• You can review and update your information where the app provides in-app settings (if accounts are supported).
• You can contact support to request help related to data, privacy questions, or report issues.

International transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live. Where required, we take steps intended to ensure appropriate safeguards for cross-border processing.
