With the slow disappearance of parking meters and cash money, more parking facilities now require parking apps for registration and payment.

The problem is, these applications collect lots of sensitive information. Necessarily, they collect parking location, parking duration, license plate number, phone number, email, payment information, and often even your full legal name. This information can be shared across multiple applications and organizations (partners) to track a car's location even beyond the parking facility.

Not to mention charging for EVs.
