SMART PARKING CICICOM

Terms and Conditions & Privacy Policy

Operated by Cicicom Ltd · www.cicicom.gr


1. Introduction

The Smart Parking Cicicom application (the “Application”) is developed and operated by Cicicom Ltd (“Cicicom”) on behalf of the competent local authority or public body that has licensed and deployed the Application in your area (the “Operator”).

This Privacy Policy explains how your Personal Data is handled in connection with your use of the Application, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”) and the applicable national data protection legislation of the country in which the Application is deployed.

This Privacy Policy applies to every natural person who uses the Application. The Application facilitates car parking in designated areas equipped with a Parking Violation Monitoring System. The Application cannot be used unless the user accepts these Terms and Conditions upon first entry. The Terms and Conditions remain accessible at any time via the information button within the Application.

The Parking Violation Monitoring System uses sensors to identify vacant and occupied parking spaces and enables users to locate, navigate to, and pay for parking through the Application.


2. Roles and Responsibilities

Important: Cicicom Ltd acts solely as a Data Processor in relation to your Personal Data. The local authority or public body that has deployed the Application in your area is the Data Controller and is solely responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing your data. Cicicom processes your data only on the documented instructions of the Operator.


Data Controller: The local authority or public body that has deployed this Application in your area (the “Operator”). For the identity and contact details of your Operator, please refer to the official website or public notice board of the authority responsible for parking management in your location.

Data Processor: Cicicom Ltd — the company that develops, maintains, and operates the Application’s technical infrastructure on behalf of the Operator. Cicicom processes Personal Data exclusively on the Operator’s instructions and does not make independent decisions about your data.

Any enquiries or requests relating to your Personal Data rights (see Section 19) should be directed to Cicicom as the first point of contact, who will coordinate with the relevant Operator as required.


3. Definitions

Personal Data: Any information relating to you that could identify you directly or indirectly, as further described in Section 7.

Processing: Any operation or set of operations performed on Personal Data, whether by automated means or otherwise, including collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, dissemination, alignment, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

Parking Violation Monitoring System: A parking monitoring and management system that allows users to find available spaces, navigate to them, and pay for parking via the Application. It also notifies the competent enforcement authority about possible parking violations through a separate administrative application.

Service Providers: Contracted companies engaged by Cicicom to support the delivery of the Application, including:

  • Cicicom Ltd — technology provider and Application developer.
  • Viva Payments Services Single Member SA (“Viva Payments”) — third-party payment processing provider.

All Service Providers process data only in a manner authorised by the Operator and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.


4. Confidentiality Measures

Cicicom, in its role as Data Processor, ensures that access to Personal Data is strictly limited to authorised personnel who require it to perform their duties. No unprotected physical copies of personal records are maintained; all electronic records are password-protected. System access is continuously monitored to detect and prevent suspicious activity or data leakage.


5. Data Controller

The Data Controller is the local authority or public body that has licensed and deployed the Smart Parking Cicicom Application in your area. Cicicom does not publicly disclose the identity of individual Operators on behalf of those Operators.

If you wish to identify the Data Controller responsible for the deployment of this Application in your specific area, you may:

  • Contact Cicicom at the details provided in Section 24, who will direct you to the appropriate authority; or
  • Refer to the official public notices, website, or parking signage of the local authority responsible for parking management in your location.

6. Data Protection Officer

Questions relating to data protection, including identification of the Data Protection Officer appointed by the relevant Operator, should be directed to Cicicom in the first instance using the contact details in Section 24. Cicicom will coordinate with the relevant Operator’s DPO as appropriate.


7. Information You Share with Us Directly

With your permission, when the Smart Parking Cicicom Application is used, information you provide is transmitted to the system, stored, and used exclusively to deliver the requested services. No data is used for any purpose beyond those described in this Policy.


8. The Personal Data We Collect

The Personal Data collected and processed through the Application are: email address, vehicle registration plate number, and phone number (optional).

You are required to provide your Personal Data to the extent necessary to use the Application and receive parking services. Failure to provide, or provision of partial or incorrect data, may result in the inability to establish or maintain the service. Cicicom is not responsible for errors in data entered by users.

No direct identity checks are carried out on users. Consistency checks are, however, performed between payment information, vehicle registration plate, parking registration data, and payment validity to ensure correct use of the Application.


9. Payment Information

When you make a payment through the Application, Viva Payments Services Single Member SA (“Viva Payments”), the authorised third-party payment processor, collects the billing and financial information necessary to process your transaction.

Smart Parking Cicicom does not collect or store your financial or card data. Viva Payments may share non-financial transaction data with Cicicom — such as transaction timestamp, transaction ID, parking location, and payment value — solely for the purpose of confirming and fulfilling your parking service.

Cicicom Ltd accepts no responsibility and expressly disclaims all liability for any loss or damage arising from or related to the payment processing services provided by Viva Payments. Users accept Viva Payments’ own terms and conditions when making a payment.


10. Security of Your Information

Cicicom has implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your Personal Data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. Payment transmissions are handled by Viva Payments using industry-standard encryption.

While every reasonable precaution is taken, no internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Cicicom cannot be held responsible for security incidents that are outside its reasonable control, including breaches resulting from user actions, third-party systems, or force majeure events. Any transmission of data to the Application is at the user’s own risk.


11. Opting Out of Geolocation

Geolocation data is not collected in a manner that directly identifies users. However, such data could potentially allow identification when combined with data held by third parties.

If you do not wish to share your location, you may disable location services on your device via your device’s settings. Disabling location services will prevent you from accessing features that rely on geolocation data, including nearby parking availability and navigation.


12. How We Collect and Process Your Personal Data

Cicicom processes Personal Data provided via the Application as described in Section 8, and only on the documented instructions of the relevant Operator. No Personal Data is used for any secondary purpose without an appropriate legal basis. Cicicom does not use your data for its own commercial purposes.


13. Information from Your Mobile Device

When you access the Application on your mobile device, we may automatically collect your device’s language setting.

We may also collect technical diagnostic data (such as device memory state during a crash) to identify and fix technical issues and improve the Application. Your device settings may allow you to control collection of such data. By using the Application, you consent to the collection of this technical data.

With your permission, we may use your GPS location to help you locate available parking spaces near you.


14. Legal Grounds for Processing Personal Data 14.1 Performance of the Service

Processing is necessary to provide parking services via the Application, fulfil orders, and deliver related services, including verification of parking authorisation and payment validity.

Personal Data will not be processed for marketing purposes.

14.3 Legal Obligation

Processing may also be required to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including those applicable in the jurisdiction of the Operator, and any directives issued by competent national or European Union authorities.


15. Transfer of Personal Data Outside the EEA

Cicicom does not transfer Personal Data to third parties located outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

  • In response to a valid legal process (e.g. court order, search warrant, or subpoena);
  • To comply with applicable laws or regulations;
  • Where there is reasonable belief the Application is being used to commit a crime, or to share information for fraud prevention and security purposes;
  • Where there is good-faith belief of an emergency posing a risk to any person’s health or safety; and
  • To protect the rights or property of Cicicom, the Operator, or applicable third parties.

17. With Whom We Share Your Data

Personal Data may be shared with Service Providers (as defined in Section 3) only to the extent necessary to operate the Application and deliver the requested services. All Service Providers are contractually bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations consistent with this Policy.

Personal Data may also be disclosed to the relevant Operator for the purposes described in this Policy, and to competent authorities where legally required.

Cicicom will not share your Personal Data with any unaffiliated third party, and does not authorise Service Providers to use your data for their own marketing or commercial purposes.


18. Access Within Cicicom

Personal Data may be accessed internally only by authorised Cicicom employees who require it to perform their duties, such as system administration or technical support. All such personnel receive appropriate data handling instructions and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. The same standards apply to any authorised personnel of the Operator.


19. How Long Your Personal Data Is Kept

Personal Data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, or as required for administrative, accounting, or legal purposes.

In the event of a legal dispute, Personal Data will be retained for the full period until all applicable appeal deadlines have been exhausted. Once the relevant retention period has elapsed, Personal Data will be securely deleted or anonymised in accordance with applicable technical procedures.


20. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access (Article 15): Request a copy of the Personal Data held about you, free of charge.
  • Right to rectification (Article 16): Ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete information.

Cicicom maintains procedures to handle suspected data security breaches and will notify affected users and any applicable regulatory authority where legally required to do so.
