Types of information collected

There are two types of information collected:

• Personal Information; and

• non-personal information.

• your full name;

• mailing address;

• email address;

• date of birth;

• mobile telephone number;

• other information that you provide to us or that we may collect in the course of our relationship with you; or

• information provided by or on behalf of applicants for employment.

  
  

  In general, EasyPark will not use or disclose Personal Information collected about you other than for a purpose set out in this Privacy Policy, for a purpose for which you would reasonably expect disclosure, a purpose required or permitted by law, or a purpose otherwise disclosed to or authorised by you.

  
  

  What is non-Personal Information?

  
  

  Non-Personal Information is information that does not identify you as an individual, such as your browser type, IP address, the URL of previous websites you have visited, parking patterns and usage etc. EasyPark may automatically collect certain types of non-Personal Information from you when using EasyPark Platform. We may also collect non-Personal Information that you voluntarily provide, such as information included in response to a questionnaire or survey. The collection, use and disclosure of non-Personal Information is not subject to Privacy Laws.

  
  

  Collection of Personal Information from you

  
  

  We will collect Personal Information about you in a number of different ways. We may collect Personal Information directly from you or in the course of our dealings with you. For example, when:

• a user accesses and uses the EasyPark Platform (including when a user opens an account or creates or adds information to their account on, or, via, the EasyPark Platform);

• a user plans, finds and manages a parking session on, or via, the EasyPark Platform

• you contact and correspond with us or make a general enquiry about the EasyPark Platform, or any products or services sold on, or via, the EasyPark Platform (for example, when you complete online forms or subscribes to our publications, alerts and newsletters, or information you provide to us when you send us an email);

• visit the EasyPark Platform (including via cookies), contact us online or via telephone or email with a query or request, or make a comment on our social media sites;

• provide your Personal Information to third parties (including to our related bodies corporate, business partners, suppliers, sellers, vendors and other service providers, credit reporting bodies, credit providers, government agencies, public registries, search agencies, regulatory and licensing bodies, parties to whom you refer us (for example, previous employers and referees), recruitment agencies and from publicly available sources of information (for example, online databases and social media)); or

• when you apply for freelance work or a position of employment with us; or

• when otherwise legally authorised or required to do so.

  
  

  Information collected about you from third parties

  
  

  EasyPark may also collect Personal Information about you from third parties. If your consent to such collections are required by law, we will first obtain your consent prior to the collection of the information. For instance, to protect against potential fraud, we may use third parties to verify the information you provide. In particular, if you register a credit card with EasyPark, we may use card authorisation and fraud screening services to verify that your card information and address matches the information that you supplied to EasyPark and that the card has not been reported as lost or stolen. In some circumstances, we will conduct a background check on your business by obtaining information about you and your business from a credit bureau or a business information service, which may result in the collection of personal information.

  
  

  Information Collected from you about third parties

  
  

  If you provide to us Personal Information about someone else (for example, another user) we rely on you to inform them that you are providing their Personal Information to us and to advise them

  that we can be contacted for further information. You must take reasonable steps to ensure the individual concerned is aware of and consents to the various matters detailed in this Privacy Policy, including the fact that their Personal Information is being collected, the purposes for which that information is being collected, the intended recipients of that information, the individual's right to obtain access to that information, our identity, and how to contact us. Where requested to do so by us, you must also assist us with any requests by the individual to access or update the Personal Information you have collected from them and provided to us.

  
  

  How we use your Personal Information

  
  

  EasyPark does not sell your Personal Information. EasyPark will only use and disclose your Personal Information for the purposes for which the information is collected, including (but not limited to):
