Privacy policy
Last updated: 7 November 2026
Parqs shows live free spaces in Ghent's garages. There are no accounts, no tracking and no advertising. We store only what you choose to give us to hear when Parqs comes to a new city.
Who is responsible
Jasper Aelvoet, sole trader, Klein Amerika 1B, 9930 Lievegem, Belgium (enterprise number 1023.130.363). Questions about your data: contact@parqs.app. A person reads it.
What we store
| Data | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Waitlist: your email address, language, where you signed up (web or app) and when you consented; if you signed up from a search outside our area, also that place | To email you when Parqs opens in a new city, or in the place you searched. Only with your explicit consent. | Until you withdraw consent or we have told you about the launch |
| iPhone app: a push notification token, its language and the places you care about | To notify you about new cities, only if you turned notifications on | Until you turn them off in the app or the token stops working |
| Server logs: IP address, time and the request | To keep the service running and stop abuse | 30 days |
Your searches and your location are not stored. A destination you search for is sent to our server only to find nearby garages and the walking route from them to it. We collect no reports, ratings or other driver data, and we never sell data.
Services your browser talks to
To show the map and search places, your browser contacts VersaTiles (map tiles) and Photon by komoot (place search) directly; they see your IP address and, for Photon, what you type. "Drive there" opens Google Maps. This website sets no cookies.
Legal basis
The waitlist and push notifications rest on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time. Server logs rest on our legitimate interest in a safe, working service.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or withdraw consent, by emailing contact@parqs.app. Every email we send will carry an unsubscribe link. You can also complain to the Belgian Data Protection Authority (gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be).
