Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 17, 2026
Introduction
ParkLedger is a comprehensive parking management application that allows you to track your parking locations, manage your vehicles and control your expenses. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
ParkLedger is designed with a privacy-first approach. All your data (notes, photos, history, statistics) remains exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
Note on location: To improve GPS accuracy, the application may use Google location services (if available). This feature is optional - the application also works offline with native GPS.
Locally Stored Data
The application stores the following data exclusively on your device, in the application's local storage:
| Data | Purpose | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| GPS coordinates | Record the precise location of your parking | Local only |
| Location photos | Visually find your parking spot | Local only |
| Vehicle information | Manage multiple vehicles | Local only |
| Spot number and price | Record parking details | Local only |
| Parking category | Classify your parking sessions | Local only |
| Complete history | View your past parking sessions | Local only |
| Statistics and budget | Track your parking expenses | Local only |
| Meter reminders | Notify you before expiration | Local only |
| User preferences | Dark mode, language, display settings | Local only |
Location Usage
ParkLedger uses your device's GPS functionality to record your parking location:
Online mode (more accurate)
- Uses Google location services to improve accuracy
- Combines GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular towers for optimal positioning
- Only data transmitted: positioning request to Google services
- Obtained coordinates are stored only locally on your device
Offline mode (less accurate)
- Uses only your device's native GPS
- No Internet connection required
- Variable accuracy depending on environment (less reliable indoors or in underground parking)
- 100% local, no data transmitted
Important: Regardless of the method used, your GPS coordinates are always stored locally on your device and are never sent to our servers. No background tracking is performed.
Camera Usage
ParkLedger can use your device's camera to take photos of your parking location. These photos:
- Are taken only at your explicit request
- Are stored locally in the application
- Are automatically compressed (50% quality) to save space
- Have their EXIF metadata disabled to protect your privacy
- Are never transmitted to external servers
- Can be deleted at any time
Ticket Scanning (OCR)
ParkLedger includes a parking ticket scanning feature:
- Text recognition (OCR) is performed entirely locally on your device
- No ticket images are sent to external servers
- Extracted data (price, zone, date) remains on your device
- Ticket photos are kept locally as receipts
Digital Parking Import
ParkLedger allows you to import data from digital parking applications (EasyPark, PayByPhone, Flowbird, ParkNow, Indigo Neo, etc.):
- Import is done by copy-pasting text or sharing from the other application
- No direct connection to third-party parking services
- ParkLedger does not access your accounts on these services
- Extracted data is stored only locally
Notifications
Meter reminders use your device's local notification system:
- Notifications are generated locally on your device
- No data is sent to external push servers
- You can disable notifications in the app settings or your device settings
Biometric Lock
ParkLedger offers a biometric lock option to secure access to your data:
- Authentication uses your device's native biometric system
- No biometric data is collected or stored by the application
- The application only receives a success or failure confirmation of authentication
Export Features
ParkLedger offers several options to export your data:
- CSV export: complete history in spreadsheet format
- Accounting ZIP export: CSV + all photos (location and tickets) for receipts
- PDF export: individual parking journal with unique reference
- Full backup: ZIP backup of all your data and photos
All these features:
- Are triggered only by you, manually
- Generate files stored locally on your device
- Do not transmit any data to external servers
- Give you full control over sharing these files
What We Do Not Collect
- No personally identifiable information (name, email, phone)
- No transmission of your GPS coordinates to our servers
- No advertising identifiers
- No usage data transmitted to analytics services
- No cookies or trackers
- No background location tracking
- No access to your digital parking accounts (EasyPark, etc.)
Regarding Google services: When you use location with an Internet connection, a request is sent to Google location services to improve accuracy. However, the resulting coordinates remain exclusively on your device.
Data Security
All data is stored locally on your device and benefits from the following protections:
- Storage in the application's private space, inaccessible to other applications
- Optional biometric lock to protect access
- Yearly purge function to delete old data
- Complete data deletion upon uninstallation
Android Widget
The Android widget displays parking information on your home screen:
- Displayed data comes only from the application's local storage
- GPS coordinates are not displayed on the widget for security reasons
- To view the exact location, you must open the app (and authenticate if locked)
- No network connection is required or used by the widget
- The widget respects the same privacy principles as the main application
Your Rights
Since no data is collected by our services, there is no personal data to view, modify or delete on our end. You have full control over your data:
- Delete individual entries in history
- Use the yearly purge function
- Export your data before deletion
- Uninstall the application to delete all data
