Notice of Right of California Residents to Opt-Out of the Selling and Sharing of Your Information
While we do not sell or share your personal information in exchange for money, we may sell or share your personal information for other valuable consideration. You have the right to tell us NOT to sell or share your personal information. You have the full and free right to opt-out of our disclosure of your personal information to any third parties where the disclosure constitutes "selling" or "sharing" as defined by the California Privacy Rights Act. You may exercise your right to opt-out without fear of discrimination for doing so. To opt-out of our selling or sharing of your information, meaning, we will not disclose your information to third parties for any monetary or other valuable consideration, you can do any of the following:
- Click HERE to be taken to an online opt-out submission form.
- Visit ACE Parking Management, Inc. website at: https://aceparking.com/. Click on "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" to be taken to an online submission form.
- You can use a Global Privacy Controls (GPC) signal. Airport Parking Connection will process opt-out preferences from GPC signals, which are in formats commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP field header, as requests to opt-out of sale or sharing. The GPC signal opt-out will only apply to the browser you are using on your device; it will not apply to other browsers and/or devices to which GPCs are not activated or to offline sales.
- If you are unable to submit an opt-out through any of the above methods, please call our toll-free privacy line at 888-682-5274 for assistance and a representative will assist in meeting your needs.
You can have an authorized agent submit a request on your behalf. To submit an opt-out through use of an authorized agent, you must provide that agent with written permission signed by you to submit an opt-out on your behalf, except when using an opt-out preference signal. The authorized agent may call our toll-free privacy line at 888-682-5274 to make the opt-out request and for directions for submitting the proof of authorization and the authorized agent's proof of identification to the Company. We maintain the right to deny any request from an authorized agent that does not submit sufficient proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.
A request to opt-out need not be a verifiable consumer request. However, we may deny a request to opt-out if we have a good faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to opt-out is fraudulent. If we deny your request to opt-out, we shall inform you of our decision not to comply and provide an explanation as to why we believe the request is fraudulent.
Opt-Out Preference Signals
Opt-out preference signals provide consumers with a simple and easy-to-use method by which to exercise the right to opt-out of the selling and sharing of their information. Global Privacy Controls (GPC) is a user-enabled opt-out preference signal which can communicate a user's "Do Not Sell or Share" request on behalf of the person or device. We will process opt-out preferences from GPC signals which are in formats commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP field header. We will treat a consumer's use of GPCs as a valid request to opt-out of the selling and sharing of information for that browser. We currently do not connect browser use to particular consumers and, as such, you will need to use GPCs on all browsers in which you access our website and use our opt-out form to opt-out of offline sales.
Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set if they do not want web services to collect information about their online activity. We do not respond to DNT signals or other mechanisms (with the exception of GPCs) that provide a choice regarding the collection of personal information about activities over time and across different websites or online services. We encourage users who have DNTs to use GPCs.
We do and will use or disclose your sensitive personal information for purposes other than the following:
- To perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests those goods or services.
- To detect security incidents that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality of stored or transmitted personal information.
- To resist malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal actions directed at the business and to prosecute those responsible for those actions.
- To ensure the physical safety of natural persons.
- For short-term, transient use.
- To perform services on behalf of the Company.
- To verify or maintain the quality or safety of a product, service or device that is owned, manufactured, manufactured for, or controlled by the Company, and to improve, upgrade, or enhance the service or device that is owned, manufactured by, manufactured for, or controlled by the Company.
- For purposes that do not involve inferring characteristics about consumers, contractors, and job applicants.
As provided by the California Privacy Rights Act, you have the right to limit our use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information to uses that are necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests those services or goods. You have the full and free right to limit our use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information as defined by the California Privacy Rights Act. You may exercise your right to limit without fear of discrimination for doing so. To limit the use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information, you can do any of the following:
- Click HERE to be taken to an online submission form.
- You can use a Global Privacy Controls (GPC) signal. Airport Parking Connection will process opt-out preferences from GPC signals, which are in formats commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP field header, as requests to opt-out of sale or sharing. The GPC signal opt-out will only apply to the browser you are using on your device; it will not apply to other browsers and/or devices to which GPCs are not activated or to offline sales. The GPC signal will also effect your request to limit.
- If you are unable to submit a request to limit through any of the above methods, please call our toll-free privacy line at 888-682-5274 for assistance and a representative will assist in meeting your needs.
You can have an authorized agent submit a request to limit on your behalf. To submit a request to limit through use of an authorized agent you must provide that agent with written permission signed by you to submit an opt-out on your behalf. The authorized agent may call our toll-free privacy line at 888-682-5274 to make the request to limit and for directions for submitting the proof of authorization and the authorized agent's proof of identification to the Company. We maintain the right to deny any request from an authorized agent that does not submit sufficient proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.
A request to limit need not be a verifiable request. However, we may deny a request to limit if we have a good faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to limit is fraudulent. If we deny your request to limit, we shall inform you of our decision not to comply and provide an explanation as to why we believe the request is fraudulent.
We will retain each category of Personal Information in accordance with our established data retention schedule as indicated above. Some of the retention periods in the retention schedule above are measured from a particular point in time that has not occurred yet, such as the end of employment or end of a relationship (whether business, contractual, or transactional) plus a certain number of years. Where no particular event is defined in the retention schedule as the point from which the retention period is measured, we will measure the retention period from either: (1) the date the record or data was collected, created, or last modified; (2) the date of the particular transaction to which the record or data pertains; or (3) another triggering event that is determined to be reasonable and appropriate based on the nature of the data and the legal/business needs for its continued use.
In deciding how long to retain each category of personal information that we collect, we consider many criteria, including, but not limited to: the business purposes for which the Personal Information was collected; relevant federal, state and local recordkeeping laws; applicable statutes of limitations for claims to which the information may be relevant; and legal preservation of evidence obligations.
We apply our data retention procedures on an annual basis to determine if the business purposes for collecting the personal information, and legal reasons for retaining the personal information, have both expired. If so, we will purge the information in a secure manner.
Third Party Vendors
Wemay use other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include administering e-mail services and running special promotions. Such parties only have access to the personal information needed to perform these functions and may not use or store the information for any other purpose.
Business Transfers
In the event wesell or transfer a particular portion of our business assets, information of consumers, contractors and applicants may be one of the business assets transferred as part of the transaction. If substantially all of our assets are acquired, information of consumers, contractors and applicants may be transferred as part of the acquisition.
Compliance with Law and Safety
Wemay disclose specific personal and/or sensitive personal information based on a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with or conform to the law or that such disclosure is necessary to protect our employees or the public.

Upon receiving a verifiable request, we endeavor to respond within 45 calendar days of its receipt.
