Who operates ParkOptio
ParkOptio is published by SYNX APPS Dev. Contact us at fs.apps.dev@gmail.com for privacy questions, access, correction or deletion requests.
Location and searches
When you choose Near me, the app requests foreground location permission. Your coordinates, or the map area you select, are sent over HTTPS to our Railway-hosted parking service with the city, search radius and parking duration. We use them to return nearby parking and estimate prices. We do not request background location. You can decline location permission and search or move the map instead.
Service providers
Our server requests parking information from official Göteborg, Malmö and Stockholm sources. Göteborg and Malmö requests can include the search area. Destination suggestions send your search text and an approximate location bias, rounded to two decimal places, to Photon at photon.komoot.io. Opening the map sends tile requests directly to OpenStreetMap; the map area, IP address and browser information are visible to that provider. The map also loads Leaflet code and styles from the unpkg CDN, which receives network metadata such as your IP address. Railway processes network metadata including IP addresses and request details to deliver and protect the service.
Saved on your device
Favourites, selected recent destinations and your language preference are stored on your device. Saved places can include names, coordinates and parking identifiers, but not saved prices. We do not maintain a ParkOptio account or a server-side favourites database. Android cloud backup and device transfer are disabled for app storage in release 0.8.0 and later. Map images may also be cached by the device.
Retention and deletion
Server search caches are held in bounded process memory and are replaced as searches fill the cache or when the service restarts. They are not a personal account history. Hosting and map providers maintain their own operational logs under their retention policies; clearing data on your phone does not erase those independent logs. Remove favourites using the star or My places, and clear recent destinations in My places. Android Settings → Apps → ParkOptio → Storage → Clear storage removes local settings and saved places.
External actions and support messages
Directions send the selected parking destination to Google Maps. Payment buttons open an external provider; that provider handles any account, payment or parking session. Sharing uses your device share sheet. If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include. We use this to answer your request and retain correspondence while needed to resolve it or meet legal obligations. Do not send passwords, card details or identity documents to app support.
Purpose and your choices
We process searches to provide the service you request, location when you enable it, and limited operational information to maintain and secure the service. We do not use advertising or analytics SDKs, sell your personal data, or process parking payments. You can revoke location access in device settings, use manual search, delete local saved places, and contact us about your data rights. Where applicable, you may complain to the Swedish privacy authority, IMY.
International services and changes
The external services used by ParkOptio can process information outside Sweden and the EEA under their own data-protection arrangements. See the provider policies linked below. This page explains the current app. If our data practices change, we will update the policy date and any relevant in-app information.
