i. When using our contact form

When you contact us using the contact form, personal data is collected from you when you fill in the respective fields of the form and send the data. It is your free choice whether and which information you provide us with in this way.

In order for us to process and respond to your enquiry, we need your contact information, i.e. your name and a valid e-mail address. You can also provide a telephone number where we can reach you for quicker clarification of any queries. However, this information is not absolutely necessary.

The data you provide is processed for the purpose of dealing with your enquiry pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR and in the event that follow-up questions arise.

In principle, the data is deleted after six months. If a longer storage period is necessary for the fulfilment of your request (for example, reservation of a car park space for the future), the data provided is stored for this period. In the event of a legally prescribed archiving obligation, however, we delete the data only after this retention period has expired.

We do not pass on this data without your consent and only use it internally to deal with your request.

ii. When Using our Webshops

If you would like to conclude a long-term parking contract for our car parks or order a voucher, you can submit a corresponding application via our website. We hereby point out that a contract can only be concluded if the minimum details are provided.

Minimum details are:

For a private person:

  • First and last name
  • Date of birth
  • Make / type of vehicle
  • Registration number of the vehicle
  • Address (street, postcode, municipality)

In addition, you can provide further voluntary information in each case.

We process the above data for the following purposes:

The data processing is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) b), c) and f) GDPR for the purposes mentioned above.

After termination of your contract your data is deleted automatically unless we are obliged to store it for a longer period of time pursuant to Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR due to tax or corporate storage and documentation obligations, or if you have consented to additional storage pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.

In the event that there is no conclusion of a long-term parking contract, but you nevertheless wish to make a reservation for a long-term parking contract in the future, your data is stored until the reservation has been completed.

3. Disclosure of Data

Your personal data is only transferred to third parties for the purposes listed below. 

a) Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

We only disclose your personal data to third parties when

  • You have given your express consent to this pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR;
  • This is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR;
  • There exists a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR.

The data disclosed is used exclusively for the purposes stated.

b) Transfer of Personal Data to Third Countries

In some cases, personal data is transferred to third countries, i.e. a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA). This only happens under the conditions of Art. 44 ff GDPR.

The USA is a so-called unsecure third country. This means that the USA does not offer a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. When personal data is transferred to the USA, there are certain risks because US authorities can gain access to the data. EU citizens have no effective means of legal protection against such access.

We inform you in this Privacy Policy when and how we transfer personal data in the USA or other unsecure third countries. We only transfer your personal data under the conditions of Art. 49 GDPR, for instance if

  • Sufficient guarantees are provided by the recipient in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR for the protection of the personal data;
  • You have expressly consented to the transmission, after which we have informed you of the risks, pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR;
  • The transmission is necessary for the fulfilment of contractual obligations between you and us.

Guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR can be so-called standard contractual clauses. In these standard contractual clauses, the recipient assures to sufficiently protect the data and thus to ensure a level of protection comparable to the GDPR.

4. Cookies

This information may be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. The processed data may be transferred to and processed on servers in the USA or other unsecure third countries. We have concluded a contract with Google incorporating the EU standard contractual clauses. This ensures that there is a level of protection comparable to that in the European Union.

Furthermore, we only transmit your data to Google if you expressly consent to the processing by Google. In this case, you consent to the transfer of your data to the USA pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR, knowing the risks described in item 4.b) of this Privacy Policy.

We only transmit your data to Google if you have expressly consented to this. In this case, you also consent to the transfer of your data to the USA pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR, knowing the risks described in item 4.

You may withdraw your consent for the future at any time via the Cookie Consent Tool.
