Privacy Policy

1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

This Privacy Policy explains how Compare Your Parking Deals uses personal information when you search for airport parking, obtain a quote, begin or complete a booking, manage a reservation or contact our team. We aim to use only the information needed to provide and support our service and to be clear about the choices available to you.

Compare Your Parking Deals is a trading name of COMPARE HUB LTD. Where we decide why and how personal information is used, COMPARE HUB LTD is the data controller.

2. Why We Need Your Information

We use personal information for the following main purposes:

  • to search and display airport parking options and prices;
  • to create and administer a booking with the parking provider you choose;
  • to send confirmations, parking instructions and important updates about a reservation;
  • to deal with amendments, cancellations, refunds, questions and complaints;
  • to maintain transaction and accounting records connected with bookings;
  • to detect fraud, misuse or security issues and protect customers and our website;
  • to meet legal, regulatory, tax and accounting requirements;
  • to improve our website, customer journey and services; and
  • where permitted, to follow up a quote or incomplete booking and tell you about relevant CYPD parking offers.

The legal basis we rely on depends on what we are doing. It may include steps taken at your request before a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, our legitimate interests where appropriate, or consent where consent is required.

3. What We Know About You

Depending on your interaction with us, this may include:

  • name, email address, telephone number and other contact details;
  • airport, terminal, travel dates/times, flight information and booking reference;
  • vehicle registration, make, model, colour and other details needed for the parking service;
  • booking price, payment status, transaction reference, refund status and related transaction records;
  • emails, forms, messages, complaints and other customer-service communications; and
  • website/device information such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, referral information, cookie identifiers and booking-journey activity.

4. Card Payments

Compare Your Parking Deals does not collect, store or process your full card number, card security code or other card credentials.

When you pay online, your card credentials are entered into and processed by the secure third-party payment gateway. We receive only the limited information needed to administer the booking, such as the amount, payment outcome/status, transaction reference and any refund status. This means your full card credentials are not held in CYPD booking records.

5. How We Receive Information

Most information comes directly from you when you search, enter your details, start or finish a booking, manage a reservation or contact us. We may also receive information needed to administer a booking from the selected parking provider, payment gateway, booking partners and suppliers that support our website or customer service.

6. Booking Communications and Marketing

Messages needed for your booking

A completed reservation requires us to communicate with you. We may therefore send confirmation emails, arrival or collection instructions, amendment or cancellation information, refund updates, operational changes and replies from customer support. These are service messages rather than marketing.

Quotes, incomplete bookings and promotions

Where permitted by law, we may follow up after you request a price or start a booking without completing it, and we may tell you about relevant Compare Your Parking Deals airport parking offers or discounts.

For email and SMS marketing, we may rely on the PECR soft opt-in where its conditions are satisfied, including giving you an opportunity to opt out when your contact details are collected and providing a simple opt-out in later marketing messages.

Where permitted by law, we may also contact you by live telephone call about your quote, incomplete booking or relevant parking offers. We respect your marketing preferences and you can tell us at any time that you do not want further marketing contact.

You can opt out through the unsubscribe facility in an email, the opt-out instruction in an SMS, by telling our team during a call, or by contacting us. We may retain limited suppression information so that your choice continues to be honoured.

7. When Information Is Shared

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose only the information reasonably needed to:

  • the independent parking provider selected for your reservation;
  • the payment gateway/payment provider and fraud-prevention providers;
  • technology, hosting, cloud, email, SMS, telephony, analytics, security and customer-support suppliers;
  • accountants, insurers, auditors, lawyers and other professional advisers;
  • regulators, courts, law-enforcement bodies or public authorities where disclosure is legally required or permitted; and
  • a genuine purchaser or successor if the business or relevant assets are sold, transferred or reorganised, subject to appropriate protections.

The parking company you select provides the actual parking service and may use your information as an independent data controller. Its own privacy notice may therefore also apply.

8. Overseas Service Providers

Some third-party customer-support or technology suppliers may access or process personal information from outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data-protection law treats this as a restricted transfer, we use an appropriate lawful safeguard, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual safeguards, together with any additional measures required by law.

9. Keeping Information Safe

We use technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, loss or disclosure. Access is limited to people and authorised suppliers who need the information for their role or service.

10. Retention

We keep information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the reason it was collected and for applicable legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, complaint and dispute requirements. Different records may therefore have different retention periods. Information relevant to a complaint, investigation or legal claim may be retained for longer where necessary.

After a marketing opt-out, we may retain limited contact information on a suppression record so that we can continue to respect the request.

11. Cookies and Website Technology

Cookies and similar technologies help us operate and secure the site, remember choices and understand how the website and booking journey are used. Analytics, advertising or measurement technologies may also be used. Where the law requires consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we ask for that consent through our cookie controls.

12. Your Choices and Data Protection Rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to:

  • obtain a copy of personal information we hold about you;
  • correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • request deletion or restriction in certain circumstances;
  • object to certain processing based on legitimate interests;
  • object at any time to direct marketing;
  • request portability of certain information where applicable; and
  • withdraw consent where we rely on consent.

To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity. Not every right applies in every situation.

13. Other Websites and Parking Providers

Links from our website may take you to services operated by other organisations. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. The independent parking provider selected for your booking may also have its own privacy terms governing the information it uses to provide the parking service.

14. Children

Our airport parking comparison and booking service is intended for adults and is not directed at children. If we become aware that information about a child has been collected in circumstances where it should not have been, we will take appropriate action.

15. Updates to this Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy when our services, suppliers, technology or legal obligations change. The current version will be published on this page with its latest revision date.

16. Contacting Us or the ICO

For privacy questions or to exercise a data-protection right, contact Compare Your Parking Deals using the contact details published on our website.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data-protection regulator. We would welcome the opportunity to consider your concern first.
