Who and what this policy covers
This Privacy Policy describes how Project Parking Lot (“Project Parking Lot,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles personal information through projectparkinglot.com, our forms, communications, property-evaluation process, referral program, and related services.
This policy applies to property owners, property representatives, people who nominate properties, website visitors, prospective project contacts, and others who communicate with us. By using the website or submitting information, you acknowledge the practices described here.
Information we collect
Name, email address, phone number, organization, title or role, and communication preferences.
Property name, type, address, parking-space estimates, ownership or decision-maker details, utility or energy information, project goals, notes, and uploaded materials.
The nominated property, your relationship to it, introduction details, submission timing, referral status, and eligibility records.
If a referral payment becomes due, information reasonably needed to verify identity, issue payment, and complete legally required tax reporting.
Emails, text messages, calls, form responses, requests, feedback, and other correspondence with us.
IP address, browser and device type, referring pages, pages viewed, dates and times, approximate location, and cookie or analytics identifiers.
Where information comes from
We may collect information:
- Directly from you when you complete a form, contact us, request an evaluation, nominate a property, consent to communications, or participate in the referral program.
- From other people who nominate a property, introduce a decision-maker, or submit information relating to a potential project.
- From public and professional sources such as property records, government records, utility or regulatory sources, company websites, professional profiles, maps, and publicly available business information.
- From service providers and project partners that help us operate the website, manage communications, evaluate sites, or develop potential projects.
- Automatically through cookies, logs, analytics tools, and similar technologies when you use the website or hosted forms.
How we use information
We may use personal information to:
- Receive, review, and respond to property nominations and evaluation requests.
- Assess parking layout, site characteristics, energy profile, market conditions, and potential project fit.
- Contact submitters, property owners, authorized representatives, and appropriate decision-makers.
- Coordinate diligence, funding, engineering, design, permitting, interconnection, construction, and related project activity.
- Administer the referral program, resolve duplicate submissions, verify eligibility, issue payments, and meet tax or recordkeeping obligations.
- Send requested operational messages and, where permitted, marketing communications.
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot, analyze, and improve our website, forms, communications, and services.
- Prevent fraud, protect rights and safety, enforce terms, comply with law, and respond to lawful requests.
How we disclose information
We may disclose information to the following categories of recipients when reasonably necessary:
- Service providers supporting website hosting, forms, CRM, email, text messaging, analytics, document storage, payments, security, and business operations.
- Project partners such as capital providers, developers, engineers, equipment providers, installers, contractors, consultants, utilities, and interconnection or permitting professionals involved in evaluating or advancing a potential project.
- Property stakeholders including owners, authorized representatives, and decision-makers when needed to validate a nomination or discuss an opportunity.
- Professional advisers such as attorneys, accountants, insurers, and auditors.
- Government or legal recipients when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property, or the integrity of our services.
- Transaction participants in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business event, subject to applicable law.
We do not sell personal information for money. Some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” more broadly, particularly for certain advertising technologies. If our practices trigger an applicable opt-out requirement, we will provide the legally required choice and honor recognized browser-based opt-out signals where required.
Text messages, calls, and emails
Operational communications
If you provide contact information, we may contact you about your nomination, property evaluation, referral status, questions about a property, or other requested services. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
Consent and opt-out
Where consent is required, we will request it through the applicable form or interaction. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of submitting a nomination or requesting an evaluation. You may reply STOP to opt out of text messages or HELP for assistance. You may use the unsubscribe link in a marketing email to stop marketing emails. We may still send non-marketing messages when permitted, including responses you request or legally required notices.
Mobile information
We do not sell mobile phone information or share text-message originator opt-in data and consent with third parties or affiliates for their independent marketing or promotional purposes. We may disclose such information to service providers that help deliver communications, when required by law, or as otherwise necessary to fulfill a request you initiated.
Cookies, analytics, and browser signals
Our website and hosted forms may use cookies, pixels, local storage, logs, and similar technologies. These tools may keep the site functioning, remember preferences, measure traffic and performance, understand how visitors use the site, prevent fraud, and evaluate outreach.
Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Doing so may affect site or form functionality. We do not currently respond to every “Do Not Track” setting because there is no uniform standard. Where applicable law requires us to recognize a Global Privacy Control or similar opt-out preference signal, we will treat the signal as a valid request for the browser or device that sends it.
Retention and security
How long we keep information
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including evaluating opportunities, maintaining project and referral records, communicating with you, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, meeting legal or tax requirements, and protecting our business. Retention periods vary based on the type of information, the status of the property opportunity, and applicable law. We may delete or de-identify information when it is no longer reasonably needed.
How we protect information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live and subject to legal exceptions, you may have the right to:
- Ask whether we process your personal information and request access to it.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Request deletion of personal information.
- Request a portable copy of certain information.
- Opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling where applicable.
- Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable.
- Withdraw consent for future processing where processing relies on consent.
- Appeal our response where applicable law provides an appeal right.
- Exercise applicable rights without unlawful discrimination.
To submit a request, email [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Request.” Describe your request and the email address or phone number associated with your interaction. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity and authority before acting. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization.
Additional U.S. state privacy disclosures
State privacy laws may require disclosures about categories of personal information. The categories we may collect include identifiers and contact information; professional or employment-related information; property, commercial, and project information; internet or electronic activity; approximate geolocation; communication contents you choose to provide; referral, payment, and tax information; and inferences relating to property or project fit.
We collect these categories from the sources described above, use them for the purposes described above, and may disclose them to service providers, project partners, property stakeholders, advisers, government or legal recipients, and transaction participants. We do not knowingly sell personal information about people under 16.
Children, outside services, and policy changes
Children
Our website and services are intended for business and property opportunities and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child submitted information to us, contact us so we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
Third-party websites and services
Our website may link to third-party websites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this policy. Review those policies before providing information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our services or legal obligations change. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the date above. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice when required.
