1. Data protection at a glance
General information
Avantpark is a brand name of Avantpark Parking Solutions Danmark ApS. Both terms are used synonymously in the following.
The following notices provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our websites. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy, which you will find below this text.
Data collection on this website
Who is responsible for the data collection on this website?
Data processing on our websites is carried out by the respective website operator. The contact details of the website operator can be found in the section “Information about the responsible person” in this data protection declaration.
How do we collect your data?
On our websites, personal data of the user is only collected in accordance with the applicable data protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The technical terms used in data protection law are explained in Art. 4 of the GDPR. Data processing is permitted under the GDPR in three cases in particular:
- if you have consented to the processing of your data by us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) and 7 GDPR); we will inform you beforehand in this data protection declaration and on the occasion of the consent pursuant to Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR for which purpose and under which circumstances your data will be processed by us;
- if the processing of your personal data is necessary for the initiation, conclusion or implementation of a contractual relationship (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR);
- if, after a balancing of interests, the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR); this includes in particular our interests in analysing, optimising and securing the offer on our website, e.g. through an analysis of user behaviour, the storage of access data and the use of third-party providers.
Accordingly, your data is collected on the one hand by you providing it to us. This can be, for example, data that you enter in a contact form. On the other hand, data is collected automatically or after your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you visit this website.
The entry of data by you on our website is voluntary. If you do not disclose your data, you will not suffer any disadvantages as a result. However, without certain data, it is not possible for us to offer certain services or functions. We will inform you of the data required or prescribed in each case.
What do we use your data for?
Part of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.
What rights do you have in relation to your data?
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have consented to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. Please note that some of these rights are not absolute and only apply in certain circumstances. We will review any request we receive in relation to these rights. We do not have to agree to a request, but if we refuse it, we will still contact the data subject within one month to explain the reasons. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority (a list of authorities can be found here).
You can contact us at any time about this and other questions on the subject of data protection.
Third-party analyses and tools
When visiting this website, your surfing behaviour may be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done with so-called analysis programs.
Detailed information on these analysis programmes can be found in the following data protection declaration.
2. What data is processed when you use Avantpark parking spaces?
What data do we collect?
When you use an Avantpark parking space, we collect and process data consisting of images of vehicles using the parking space and/or the vehicle registration number.
If the contractual and parking conditions are breached, an increased user fee will be charged. The data we process when issuing an increased user fee includes the full name and address of the recipient, pictures of the vehicle, time of entry and exit (date and time) to the parking space and the vehicle’s registration number.
If you make a complaint about an increased user charge or otherwise correspond with us, including by telephone, you may provide us with additional personal data. The data we process may include: registration number, your full name, address, email address and telephone number, an increased user charge or other reference number, your IP address, the capacity in which you are contacting us (e.g. keeper, driver, hirer, other) and any other information and documentation you provide as part of the correspondence, telephone call or complaint. If you correspond with us by post, we may use a third party to scan, categorise and enter the post into our systems, return original documents provided by you and process bank payments.
How do we collect data?
Images of vehicles and number plates are captured via number plate scanners and/or staff on site. When in operation, licence plate data may also be captured and processed via the payment and/or terminal systems.
If you have received an increased user fee and are the registered keeper of the vehicle at Motorstyrelsen, your data has been transmitted by this authority.
If you are not the registered keeper of the vehicle, your details have been provided to us by:
- A third party who has confirmed that you were responsible for the vehicle concerned at the time of the parking offence and/or;
- A third party who has confirmed that you were the driver of the vehicle concerned at the time of the parking offence and/or;
- A third party who has confirmed that the vehicle concerned was rented or leased to you at the time of the parking offence.
If you no longer reside at the address registered by the Motorstyrelsen, your data was provided to us by:
- A third party who now resides at the above address, who has confirmed that you no longer reside at that address and who has provided a forwarding address; and/or
- A debt collection agency.
If you lodge an objection or otherwise correspond with us, the data you provide in that objection or correspondence will be processed by us. If someone objects or corresponds with us on your behalf and with your authority, the data will be processed as contained in the information we receive from that person.
What if you provide “sensitive” data in an appeal or correspondence?
Depending on the nature and content of your objection or correspondence, the information or documentation provided may be classified as “special category” personal data and therefore considered particularly sensitive.
Examples include: personal identity numbers, financial account information, information about a person’s racial or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious, philosophical or similar beliefs, or information about a person’s physical or mental health.
In addition, when you submit a request via the website, you will be explicitly asked for your consent to the processing of personal data of a “special category”, which you explicitly provide as part of your request.
We will continue to process the “special category” personal data you provide as described above unless we are informed that you have withdrawn your consent to the processing.
You are free to change your mind and withdraw your consent at any time. This may mean that we can no longer take your circumstances fully into account when considering an objection and deciding on further action in the event of an increased usage fee.
If you wish to withdraw your consent, please contact us using the contact details below.
How will we process your data and why do we process it?
When using the Avantpark parking spaces, personal data is collected and processed for the following purposes:
- Ensuring that you comply with the posted contract and parking conditions as signposted outside each car park and enforcing these conditions where necessary.
- Charging an increased usage fee if we are of the opinion that the posted contract and setting conditions have been violated.
- Processing of increased usage fees issued until cancellation or payment, including receiving, reviewing and responding to objections, as well as collecting the increased usage fee. The recovery may include the involvement of debt collection agencies and/or legal action and/or third party verification of your address.
- Provision of parking management services, including infringement prevention and follow-up, and data analysis.
Our legal bases for processing the data are “performance of a contract” (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR) and “legitimate interests” (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).
If you are the driver of a vehicle using an Avantpark car park, your data will be collected and processed to the extent necessary for the performance of the contract for the use of the car park. This includes ensuring that you comply with the posted contract and parking terms and conditions, as indicated on the signs outside each car park, and that we enforce these terms and conditions in the event of a breach.
We and our processors also process the data to protect our, the landowners’ and the public’s legitimate interests:
- Enforcing violations of posted contract and set-up conditions when the recipient of the increased user fee was not the driver of the vehicle. Enforcing violations of the posted contract and parking conditions provides a better overall parking experience for all users of the facilities.
- The provision of an effective customer service. Tracking the usage fees we charge, either to cancellation or payment, supports the parking management services we provide.
- Providing effective parking management to improve the customer experience. – Displaying captured information on payment machines and/or terminals to help parking users determine their entry time and choose the appropriate parking rate. – Sharing information with the lot owner when they have agreed to grant parking privileges to specific individuals (e.g. employee parking privileges) or when a payment account has been agreed for specific vehicles. And, if required, to assist in the management of on-site parking enforcement. – Carrying out data analysis, including producing reports on occupancy and vehicle types. – Providing data to the police and other security organisations to assist in the prevention and detection of crime (where required).
- As part of the inspections carried out by the vehicle registration authorities and other approved third parties.
The data may be processed in a location outside the European Economic Area, but we have put in place and ensured the safeguards required by data protection law.
With whom do we share data?
In order to enforce the User Agreement where a breach has been identified and to support the legitimate interests explained above, we may share data with the following organisations:
- Motorstyrelsen, this includes the disclosure of data in order to obtain the full name as well as the address data of the registered vehicle owner, as well as for testing purposes.
- The police or other security organisations for the safety of car park users and for the prevention and detection of crime.
- Vehicle rental and leasing companies if they confirm that a vehicle was rented or leased at the time of the parking violation.
- Other organisations such as property owners, managers, tenants and authorised subcontractors such as postal service providers, credit reference agencies, debt collection agencies, legal advisors, IT service providers and payment service providers.
We may also share data with our press office or agency if it is related to a media/press enquiry.
Paying a parking charge online
You are able to pay your parking charge online. In order to allow you to do this, we contract with third party providers who will process your secure payment. This may include, for example, the ability to make payment securely via Mobile Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or to pay by card. To allow you to make payment, your personal data may be shared with these third-party providers (including merchants, payment, and card service providers, such as Stripe (a trading name of Stripe Payments Europe Limited)).
What data will be processed?
The data processed whilst you make payment of a parking charge may include amount due (gross, net and tax), Licence Plate, telephone number, a parking charge reference, parking charge issue date, parking charge due date, case reference, email address, card number, expiry date and security code. The parking charge reference will be used for the purpose of locating the relevant parking charge to enable population of the payment screen with the outstanding amount payable, and to allow us to reconcile your payment against your parking charge notice.
Personal data may be processed on the grounds of legitimate interests to allow payments to be made and may also be processed due to it being necessary for us to process the same under a contract between you and Avantpark
Data Security
Although we endeavour to ensure third party providers will do their best to protect your personal data, by having agreed commitments in our contract with the provider, we cannot guarantee the security of your data entered when making secure payment via a third-party provider. Please ensure you agree to the providers full privacy policy before making your payment. Any transmission is at your own risk, and you should take the appropriate steps in respect of this risk.

General information and mandatory data
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.
When you use this website and/or the motorist portal, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose the data is used.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Reference to the competent body
The data controller for this website is:
Avantpark Parking Solutions Danmark ApS
Slotsmarken 10,
2970 Hørsholm
Phone: +45 71 92 92 66
E-mail: [email protected]
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Duration of storage
Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.
There are certain reasons why we keep some of your data. How long we keep your data depends on the type of data and the purpose(s) for which it was collected and processed. However, in this case, we will ensure that these third parties also only retain the data for as long as necessary and must adhere to our retention and deletion policies. We do not store your personal data for longer than is necessary for the above-mentioned purposes.
Data transfer within the Avantpark group of companies
We may share your data with our parent company, Parkingeye Limited, and other subsidiaries of our parent company that are located within the European Union. This may include transferring your data to the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom provides an adequate level of protection for personal data. We will monitor the status of the United Kingdom and ensure that adequate protection is in place to ensure the transfer of data outside the Member States of the European Union.
Note on data transfer to the USA
Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing operations.
Withdrawal of consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in individual cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. E or F GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data relating to you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You will find the respective legal basis on which the processing is based in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR)
In the event of a breach of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
How can you contact the competent supervisory authority if you have concerns about our processing of your data?
If you have any concerns about our processing of your data or if you have a question about data protection that is not answered in this policy, please contact our data protection team using the contact details above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant regional data protection supervisory authority.
For more information, please visit the website of the Datatilsynet : https://www.datatilsynet.dk
Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format (Art. 20 GDPR). If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Rights of access, rectification and erasure (Art. 15, 16 & 17 GDPR)
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing (Art. 15 GDPR) as well as, if applicable, a right to correction (Art. 16 GDPR) or deletion (Art. 17 GDPR) of this data. For this purpose, you can request information about the personal data we have stored about you free of charge at any time. To prevent misuse, identification of your person is required for this purpose. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify it. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
We will consider each request received on a case-by-case basis. Under data protection laws, we do not have to agree to your request, but if we do not agree to your request, we will still contact you within the applicable timeframe to explain our position.
