Terms and scope

This is a public research website, not a case-handling service.

Parking Profit System is a stage-one public research and evidence-mapping website. It helps readers understand private parking systems, public sources, and transparency questions. It is not legal advice and does not decide cases, collect evidence, triage private facts, or replace case-specific professional advice.

No outcome is guaranteed.

The site cannot guarantee appeal success, refunds, cancellation, court outcomes, complaint outcomes, DVLA action, ICO action, Ofcom action, or regulatory action. If you have a live notice, appeal deadline, Letter Before Claim, court form, or complaint deadline, check the original paperwork and official route directly.

Regulatory review

ICO and Ofcom guidance has been reviewed for this public website.

The website has been checked against ICO guidance on the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, special category data, Article 6, Article 9, DPIA triggers, PECR cookie/tracking issues, and Ofcom/Online Safety Act service-scope guidance. The result is a deliberately narrow website: public pages only, no visitor case collection, no analytics beacon, no user-to-user features, and no case-submission route.

Hard exclusions

You will not find these features or evidence routes on this website.

These exclusions protect visitors, private motorists, staff, families, and vulnerable people while keeping the website focused on public-source system research.

Excluded itemCurrent positionReason
Contact formsNot present.A form would collect personal data and need a privacy route, retention rule, security route, and complaint process.
Evidence uploadsNot present.Uploads may include names, addresses, vehicle registrations, medical facts, court papers, debt files, and other sensitive material.
Case triageNot present.Private case review can become advice, profiling, or sensitive-data processing if identifiable facts are handled.
AnalyticsNot present. The Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon has been removed.Removing tracking scripts reduces PECR and privacy risk.
AccountsNot present.Accounts create identity, security, rights, retention, and moderation responsibilities.
Visitor-submitted public reportsNot present.Public case reports can expose motorists, families, staff, landowners, and third parties.
Named allegationsNo visitor-submitted or unverified named allegations are accepted. The site may refer to organisations using public-source evidence.Readers should see source-led system questions, not unverified allegations against private people.
Health, abuse, vulnerability, capacity, care, finances, crime, or family evidenceNot collected, uploaded, or hosted.These categories can involve special category data, criminal-offence data, safeguarding risk, family privacy, financial harm, or serious personal exposure.

DPIA and lawful basis

Article 6 and Article 9 matter if a website asks for private evidence.

This website avoids collecting identifiable private case data. If you are ever asked for private evidence, look for a clear privacy notice, lawful-basis explanation, and DPIA or safeguard statement before using that feature.

Current decision

Public-source publication

The site uses public-source research and editorial summaries. It does not invite visitors to submit private facts, health evidence, vulnerability evidence, financial evidence, abuse evidence, family evidence, or criminal-allegation evidence.

Article 9

No Article 9 condition is relied on for this website

The site does not process identifiable special category evidence from visitors. If disability, health, neurodivergence, vulnerability, or inferred sensitive data is ever requested, you should first see an Article 6 lawful basis and Article 9 condition.

DPIA trigger

Expect a DPIA before private evidence collection

You should not be asked for private evidence on this website today. If a contact form, upload tool, evidence inbox, case triage, public case wall, account system, or AI/search tool ever appears, expect a clear explanation of the privacy risks and safeguards first.

Online Safety Act scope

This site is not built as a user-to-user or search service.

The site does not allow public comments, user uploads, messaging, public reviews, account posts, public case reports, or searches across multiple websites. If those features appear later, treat them as a different service and expect a fresh Ofcom and Online Safety Act explanation.
