ParkPatrol uses your location only to show nearby reports and to place your alerts and parking alarm. Your data is never sold or shared with third parties. ParkPatrol is free and works worldwide. Alerts depend on other drivers reporting officers in your area, and need location services, notifications and an internet connection.
