RingGo is a pay by phone parking service, based in the UK owned by EasyPark Group.
[1][2] It has been suggested that councils that use RingGo are unfairly penalising users who find the technology difficult to use or do not own a smart phone.
[3] This has meant reduced customer numbers in some shopping centres that switched to smartphone-only parking.
[4] Some car parks use the app's "Start-Stop" system that requires that users log both their arrival and departure time and failure to remember to sign out can lead to an overcharge.
Over two weeks later on 26 December EasyPark informed the UK’s ICO and other data protection authorities.
