Ethics & CSR

Parking that gives back.

Two principles run through how we operate: transparent enforcement and ethical contribution.

Trócaire — Schools Project Somalia

20% of all clamping revenue and a share of company profit goes to Trócaire's Schools Project Somalia. The project funds classrooms, teacher training, school meals, and clean water for children in conflict-affected regions of Somalia.

We chose this commitment specifically because clamping is the part of our business that people most associate with friction. Tying the revenue to a humanitarian outcome doesn't excuse a clamp — but it does mean every clamp puts a meal on a desk.

Ethical clamping policy

Our clamping policy is published, proportionate, and applied consistently:

  • Clear signage on every site, in plain English.
  • Grace periods for short stays where signs are ambiguous.
  • Single, capped fee — no escalation tactics.
  • 30-minute response window for legitimate appeals.
  • Refunds where the clamp was unjustified — without argument.

Data & privacy

Customer data lives in Irish/EU infrastructure. We don't share permit-holder data with third parties. Card details are held by Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1) — never by us.

How to raise a concern

If you have a concern about how a site has been operated or how a clamp was applied, email our office. We aim to respond within one working day. If we got it wrong, we'll say so, fix it, and tell you what we changed.
