Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices you have when using the ParkDay mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

Location access is optional and can be disabled at any time through your device settings.
Photos
If you choose to upload photos, ParkDay stores those photos so they can be attached to your memories and experiences.
By default, your photos are private unless you choose to share them through ParkDay's community features or other public areas of the app.
All publicly shared photos are subject to ParkDay's Community Content & Standards and may be removed if they violate these guidelines.
If you choose to share a photo publicly, you grant ParkDay a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, distribute, and feature that content in connection with operating, improving, and promoting ParkDay. This may include displaying your photo in community feeds, featured collections, editorial selections, seasonal showcases, marketing materials, social media, the ParkDay website, presentations, advertisements, and app marketplace listings (including screenshots and promotional images on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and similar platforms).
You retain ownership of your photos at all times. This license exists solely to allow ParkDay to display and promote publicly shared content and does not transfer ownership of your photos to ParkDay. If you remove a photo from the community or delete your account, ParkDay will stop using that content in future promotions within a reasonable period, although previously published materials, cached content, or archived copies may continue to exist for a limited time.
2. Account Eligibility
To create a ParkDay account, you must meet the minimum age required to use our Services under applicable law. By creating an account, you represent that you meet these age requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.
If you are under the age of 18, you should review this Privacy Policy with a parent or legal guardian before using ParkDay. In some jurisdictions, parental or guardian consent may be required for minors to use certain features of the Services.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that do not meet these eligibility requirements.
3. Community & Social Features

When you share content publicly, including photos, comments, reviews, captions, tips, lists, achievements, or other contributions, you are responsible for ensuring that your content is appropriate, accurate, and that you have the necessary rights and permissions to share it.

ParkDay reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to review, moderate, restrict, remove, or refuse any user-generated content that violates these standards or that we reasonably believe may negatively impact the safety, integrity, or experience of the ParkDay community.
We may issue warnings, temporarily suspend features, suspend accounts, permanently terminate accounts, or remove content for violations of these standards. Serious or repeated violations may result in permanent removal from ParkDay.
If you encounter content that you believe violates these standards, you may report it through the app or by contacting our support team. We review reports and take appropriate action when warranted.
