Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 9, 2026

Parkaris ("we," "our," or "the Website") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you visit and use our services.

1. Information We Collect

To provide and improve our mapping utility, we may collect the following types of information:

  • Voluntary Account Information: If you create an account, log in, or save preferences, we collect the credentials and data you explicitly provide (such as an email address).
  • Location Data: If you opt-in to allow the Website to access your device's location services, we use this geographic data solely to center the map and display nearby parking information. We do not track or store your location history after your session ends.
  • Usage Data & Log Files: Our servers automatically log standard web traffic information, including your IP address, browser type, referring pages, and the times of your visits.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information strictly to:

  • Operate, maintain, and optimize the Website's mapping interface.
  • Prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorized scraping, or abuse of our infrastructure.
  • Respond to user inquiries or support requests.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies or similar local storage technologies to keep you logged in and remember your map preferences. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, though some parts of the Website may not function properly as a result.

For site analytics, we self-host Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool. Umami does not use cookies and does not collect any personally identifiable information. It aggregates anonymous usage data (such as page views, referrers, and device types) so we can understand how the Website is used. Because no cookies are set and no personal data is collected, no consent is required for this analytics.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share data only under the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may use trusted third-party hosting, database, or mapping infrastructure providers to run the Website, subject to standard confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

5. Data Security

The security of your data is important to us, and we implement standard commercial security measures (such as SSL/TLS encryption) to protect it. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Disclaimer and Third-Party Links

Our Website contains links or references to public data sources, official city portals, and external maps. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or data handling of any third-party websites.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or change our Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the service after we post any modifications constitutes your acknowledgment and acceptance of the modified policy.

8. Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through the official support channels provided on the Website.
