      4. Number plate (VRM) - we store this for enforcement purposes, safety purposes, to calculate your emissions and ensure you are parking in the correct parking bay size. We share this with third party enforcement companies and parking space operators along with parking session dates and times, and sometimes your name, subject to terms outlined in separate Data Sharing Agreements held between JustPark and these third party companies outlining each company’s obligations relating to current data protection laws. We also use the VRM to check with the DVSA that a vehicle has a valid MOT certificate at the time of a booking as this is a requirement of some of our space owners to ensure that vehicles parked in their spaces are safe and roadworthy. We may use the VRM to determine the make and model of your vehicle to calculate emissions which may be used to calculate your pricing for parking. The VRM may check the size of your vehicle to ensure that you are parking in the correct size parking space for your booking. The VRM will be used to check against the MOT database. We will log when your MOT is due and send a reminder before the due date. The reminder will also give you the option to book a test with a third party, please note no data will be shared with the third party unless you proceed to make a booking, please check the privacy policy of the third party provider to understand what data they collect and how they use it.
