This California Automated License Plate Recognition System Addendum (the "Addendum") governs the ALPR System operated by zero5, and applies to our employees, customers, and camera affiliates who have access to or use our ALPR Systems. Our services may include the use of an Automated License Plate Recognition System ("ALPRS" or "ALPR System") when deployed at a parking facility by that facility's operator. Our ALPR System contains a searchable computerized database resulting from the operation of one or more mobile or fixed cameras combined with computer algorithms to read and convert images of registration plates and the characters they contain into computer-readable data. The information contained in the system includes images of license plates, plus the date, time and location when the images were collected, and the license plate characters and numbers associated with the image.
The images stored in the system are collected from areas visible to the public where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. The data collected by the ALPR System and stored in our system may contain Personal Data (as defined in our Privacy Notice), such as the information which relates the license plate image to the driver when you provide us this information.
PII contained in vehicle registration information is protected by federal law (Driver's Privacy Protection Act, Title 18, US Code, Section 2721 et seq.) and state laws. Law enforcement and other users may have access to vehicle registration information, and other sources of PII, which they may correlate with data collected and stored in the ALPR System to create vehicle hotlists in accordance with the above referenced federal law.
zero5 authorizes collection of ALPR System data for use by zero5, the parking facility operators, and other customers of zero5's products and services consistent with this policy. The authorized uses of the ALPR system are:
Some examples of the permitted users of the ALPR System include:
We do not make the ALPR System or the data collected or stored by it available to individuals for personal, non-commercial purposes or for any purposes not described above.
zero5 personnel are only permitted to use the ALPR System for the following limited purposes: (a) to demonstrate the system to parking facility operators who use our products and services, or who are interested in potentially using our products and services; (b) provide customer support, (c) to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality in our products and services; (d) for internal testing, research, analysis, and product development, including to develop and improve the ALPR System and our other products and services; and (d) collect data for purposes authorized by this policy. All authorized personnel that use or access information collected from the ALPR System are required to read and understand our training manuals and other documentation for the ALPR System. Additionally, we require that all personnel of the operators of the parking facilities to attest that they have read and understood all applicable training materials provided either by zero5 or the parking facility operator.
The ALPR System sends status updates to zero5, and these status updates are monitored 24 hours a day for information anomalies and system disruptions. zero5 also monitors the information collected by the ALPR System to ensure the accuracy of charges to drivers using the parking facility, and zero5 promptly investigates any reports of incorrect ALPR System data and rectifies such data as appropriate.
zero5 maintains usage logs, and periodically audit such logs, to ensure the security of our data assets and compliance with this policy. The usage logs include the following information:
zero5 collects data for commercial purposes. We do not collect ALPR System data on behalf of law enforcement agencies, and we do not share, sell, or transfer ALPR System data to other third-parties other than as described in this Addendum. We license the information from the ALPR System to parking facility operators and other similar entities solely for the purposes described in this Addendum. We share the results of specific queries for use by its customers consistent with this Addendum and pursuant to the parking facility operator's license agreement. All parking facility operators and other appropriate users are required to establish an account pursuant to an agreement with us that limits the use of the ALPR System data for authorized purposes only. We will also disclose the ALPR System data for the purposes described in our Privacy Notice, including to respond to law enforcement requests and as required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations.
zero5 is the custodian and owner of the ALPR System and is responsible for implementing this Addendum.
The collection data by the ALPR System is automated so that the license plate images, and the details of when they are collected, are included in the system without review, along with the computer translation of the license plate number. Although very infrequent, the license plate translation is sometimes inaccurate or incomplete. To avoid mistaken use of ALPR System data, zero5 recommends that you, as well as our parking facility operators customers, confirm the computer translation before taking any action as a result of information automatically collected and processed by the ALPR System. zero5 and/or the parking facility operator may correct errors in translation to license plate numbers and other database errors when identified.
The company retains the data collected by the ALPR System as long as it has commercial value, which is generally one (1) year. The company periodically evaluates the use of historical data collected and stored by the ALPR System to determine if the cost to maintain the data exceeds its value, and may adjust its retention period. We may keep the data collected by the ALPR System for a longer period of time as follows: (a) as long as necessary to comply with any legal requirement (including any legal hold; (b) on our backup and disaster recovery systems in accordance with our backup and disaster recover policies and procedures; (c) for as long as necessary to protect our legal interests or otherwise pursue our legal rights and remedies; (d) if reasonably requested by the parking facility operator, for as long as they reasonably request. Note that we may retain any data collected from the ALPR System that has been aggregated or otherwise rendered anonymous in a manner that you are no longer identifiable for an indefinite period of time.
zero5 reserves the right to amend this Addendum at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this Addendum, we will post the updated Addendum on our Website and in our Application and update the Addendum's effective date. Your continued use of our products and services following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
