Terms and scope
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.
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
The current build 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
These exclusions protect visitors, private motorists, staff, families, and vulnerable people while keeping the project focused on public-source system research.
| Excluded item | Current position | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Contact forms | Not present. | A form would collect personal data and need a privacy route, retention rule, security route, and complaint process. |
| Evidence uploads | Not present. | Uploads may include names, addresses, vehicle registrations, medical facts, court papers, debt files, and other sensitive material. |
| Case triage | Not present. | Private case review can become advice, profiling, or sensitive-data processing if identifiable facts are handled. |
| Analytics | Not present. The Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon has been removed. | Removing tracking scripts reduces PECR and privacy risk. |
| Accounts | Not present. | Accounts create identity, security, rights, retention, and moderation responsibilities. |
| Visitor-submitted public reports | Not present. | Public case reports can expose motorists, families, staff, landowners, and third parties. |
| Named allegations | No visitor-submitted or unverified named allegations are accepted. The site may refer to organisations using public-source evidence. | The project should test systems with sources, not host allegations against private people. |
| Health, abuse, vulnerability, capacity, care, finances, crime, or family evidence | Not 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
The current website avoids collecting identifiable private case data. If that changes, the feature must not go live until the data-protection decision is written down.
The current 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.
The site does not process identifiable special category evidence from visitors. If disability, health, neurodivergence, vulnerability, or inferred sensitive data is collected in future, an Article 6 lawful basis and Article 9 condition must be identified before processing starts.
Any future contact form, upload tool, evidence inbox, case triage, public case wall, account system, or AI/search tool must be assessed first. If special category data or high-risk processing is likely, complete a DPIA and record safeguards before launch.
Online Safety Act scope
The site does not allow public comments, user uploads, messaging, public reviews, account posts, public case reports, or searches across multiple websites. Any feature that lets users create, upload, share, message, or publish content must be reviewed against Ofcom and Online Safety Act guidance before launch.
