Ok, so why do they need to store my parking locations anyway? They say it wasn't leaked so I guess it's there. I'm in the EU and they have no business storing that information longer than needed (which would be until I stop the parking action.)

If they are using it for their marketing: I was never notified of that.

There are multiple reasons why:

1) You may have been given a fine erroneously that the data would prove you shouldn't have been given.

2) Financial records have to be kept for several years in most countries. Details of the transaction would form part of this.

3) The terms and conditions say they'll do it.
