Security and privacy

What we collect, how we protect it, and who sees it.

This page is for IT, procurement and anyone reviewing Laneo. It covers the data we handle, encryption, access, the audit trail, retention and the providers we use.

Data we handle

We collect what parking needs and nothing more. Analytics never include plate numbers, names, emails or card data.

Encryption

  • In transit

    Every connection to Laneo uses TLS, for residents, guests, property teams and partners.

  • At rest

    The database, files and backups are encrypted at rest, and sensitive fields are encrypted again by Laneo.

  • Secrets

    Keys and passwords live in our hosting providers’ secret stores, never in code.

Access controls

Each property’s data is kept separate, and every person signs in with a role that decides what they can see and do.

Resident
Their own vehicles, guests, billing and receipts.
Guest
Their own pass and receipt. No account needed.
Property admin
Their property’s residents, permits, rules, visits and reports.
Portfolio admin
Properties in their portfolio, as set by your company.
Enforcement partner
Plate lookups and the violation log for properties that invited them. Towing partners see only valid or not valid.
Laneo support
Customer data only to help with a request, with access logged.

Single sign-on for your company accounts is available as an add-on. Laneo staff access customer data only to support you, and that access is logged.

Audit trail

Plate lookups, permit changes, rule changes and refunds are recorded with who did it and when. Property teams can review their own trail.

Retention and deletion

  • Plate data has an expiry

    Plate and lookup records are deleted on a schedule set out in the privacy notice. Deletion runs automatically.

  • When a resident moves out

    Their permits end on the move-out date, and their data follows the same schedule.

  • When a property leaves Laneo

    We return the property’s data on request, then delete it under the data processing agreement.

  • Personal requests

    Residents and guests can ask to see or delete their data by writing to privacy@getlaneo.com.
