What data is processed when you use Evology Designated Charging Bays?

What data do we collect?

When you use a Designated Evology Charging Bay, we collect and process data comprising of images of vehicles using the Designated Evology Charging Bay and/or the Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM).

If the contractual Terms and Conditions are breached, a Parking Charge Notice will be issued. The data we process when issuing a Parking Charge Notice includes the recipient’s name and address, images of the vehicle, its details and movement whilst using the Designated Evology Charging Bay and the Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM).

If you submit an appeal in relation to a Parking Charge, or otherwise correspond with us, including on the phone, you may provide us with additional personal data, the data we process may include: the VRM; your name, address, email and phone number, a Parking Charge or other reference number, IP address, the capacity in which you are appealing (e.g. keeper, driver, hirer, other), and any other information you provide within any correspondence, phone call or appeal, including any documentation you share with us. If you correspond with us by post, we may use a third party to scan and categorise the mail and place it onto our systems, to return your documents and to bank payments.

 

How do we collect data?

Images of vehicles and VRMs are collected via designated cameras in each bay. Where in operation VRM data will also be collected and processed via the payment systems.

If you have received a Parking Charge Notice and you are the registered keeper of the vehicle, as held by the relevant vehicle licensing agency, then your data has been provided by the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA) or international equivalent.

If you are not the registered keeper of the vehicle, then your data has been provided by:

• A third party who has confirmed that you were responsible for the vehicle on that date;
• A third party who has confirmed that you were driving the vehicle on that date;
• A third party who has confirmed that the vehicle was on hire or leased to you on that date.

 

If you no longer live at the address held by the DVLA, then your data has been provided by:

• A third-party now living at the property whom has confirmed that you no longer live at that address and has supplied a forwarding address; or
• A third-party credit reference agency.

 

If you submit an appeal or otherwise correspond with us, the data processed by us will be as provided by you within that appeal or correspondence. Where someone appeals or corresponds with us on your behalf with your authority, then the data processed will be as provided within the documentation we receive from them.

 

What if you provide sensitive data within an appeal or correspondence?

Depending upon the nature and content of your appeal or correspondence, the information or documentation provided may be classed as “special category” personal data and will therefore be considered to be more sensitive.

Examples include: personal identity numbers, financial account information, information about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious, philosophical or other similar beliefs, or information about an individual’s physical or mental health.

The information on the reverse of the correspondence issued by us explains that we and our processors will process any special category data provided based upon your explicit disclosure of that information.

When submitting an appeal via the website, you will also be specifically asked to provide your consent to the processing of any “special category” personal data you explicitly disclose as part of an appeal.

We will continue to process any “special category” personal data provided by you, as specified above, unless we are notified that your consent to processing has been withdrawn.

You are free to change your mind at any time and withdraw your consent. The consequence might be that we will no longer be able to consider your circumstances in full when reviewing an appeal and when considering whether further action is appropriate should a Parking Charge remain open.

If you wish to withdraw your consent, please contact us using the details provided below.

 

How will we process your data and why do we process it?

When using Evology Designated Charging Bays, personal data is collected and processed for the purposes of:

• Ensuring you comply with the Designated Evology Charging Bay Terms and Conditions, as displayed on signage throughout each Designated Charging Bay, and to enforce those terms and conditions where necessary.
• Issuing a Parking Charge Notice where the Designated Evology Charging Bay Terms and Conditions have been breached.
• Progressing any issued Parking Charge to closure or payment, which includes receipt of, reviewing and responding to appeals (both internal and with POPLA) and seeking payment of the Parking Charge amount. Recovery may include collections undertaken via the use of debt collection agents and/or legal action (where required) and / or verification of your address.
• Providing Electric Vehicle Charging services, including the prevention and detection of crime, and data analytics.

Our lawful bases for processing data are Performance of a Contract and Legitimate Interests.

If you are the driver of a vehicle using a Evology Designated Charging Bay, your data is collected and processed as necessary for the performance of the Electric Vehicle Charing contract. This includes ensuring you comply with the Designated Evology Charging Bay Terms and Conditions, as displayed on signage throughout each Designated Charging Bay, and to enforce those terms and conditions where necessary.

 

We and our third party processors will also process data in pursuit of our, the landowners, and the public’s legitimate interests including:

Enforcement of breaches of the Designated Evology Charging Bay Terms and Conditions ensures a better overall Electric Vehicle Charging experience for all users of the facilities.
• The provision of an effective appeals service, which is provided in line with the British Parking Association’s Code of Practice. Where the Parking Charge was issued in England and Wales, this includes an opportunity for all motorists to lodge an appeal with the Parking On Private Land Appeals (POPLA) service should their appeal to us be rejected. Progressing the Parking Charges we issue, either to closure or payment, supports the Designated Evology Charging Bay services we offer.
• The provision of an effective Electric Vehicle Charging service to improve the customer experience.
• Carrying out data analytics, including reporting on vehicle turnover, vehicle type and repeat visits. – Providing data to the police and other security organisations to assist with the prevention and detection of crime (as appropriate).

Data may be processed at a destination outside the European Economic Area but we have implemented and ensured the safeguards required by data protection law.

Who do we share data with?

In order to enforce the Designated Evology Charging Bay contract where a breach has been identified and to support the legitimate interests explained above, we may share data with the following organisations:

• Vehicle licensing agencies, such as the DVLA or an international equivalent. This includes sharing data to obtain the contact name and address details of a vehicle’s registered keeper, as well as sharing for audit purposes.
• The police or other security organisations for the safety and security of Designated Charging Bay users, and in order to prevent and detect crime.
• Vehicle hire and lease companies where they confirm that a vehicle was on hire or leased on the date that that vehicle was captured in breach of the Designated Evology Charging Bay Terms and Conditions.
• Other organisations such as the British Parking Association (BPA), the Parking On Private Land Appeals (POPLA) service for parking events in England and Wales, Euro Parking Collection plc, landowners, managing agents, tenants, our press office or agency (where related to media/press query), and any authorised sub-contractors, such as mail service providers, business process outsourcers, credit reference agencies, collection agents, legal advisors, IT service providers, and payment service providers.
