Introduction

This Privacy Notice applies to individuals who provide personal data to North Seattle College (“NSC”), an agency of the State of Washington, in connection with vehicle license plate recognition (“LPR”) hardware and software for parking systems at the Seattle College District campus’s (the “North Seattle College Campus”) parking lots and structures, streets on campus, and leased or managed parking areas, as described below. 

All staff and faculty personal data is collected, managed, and used in accordance with their relative Union Collective Bargaining Agreements.

All student personal data is collected, managed, and used in accordance with FERPA guidelines.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. Information about Seattle College students is collected, maintained and used to meet the college’s educational objectives. Students are protected against improper disclosure of their records. These rights begin the first day of class and extend to all former students.

The LPR systems capture a context photo of the vehicle and its immediate surroundings, and a photo of the license plate. The LPR system also records the global positioning system coordinates and the date/time information associated with the observed vehicle, and generates an alphanumeric version of the license plate number. The photos taken by the LPR system are not of a resolution that would allow for the identification of vehicle occupants if present at the time the photo is taken.

The personal data described above may be combined with personal data already in the NSC’s possession, (such as parking permit information or patron account information).

Personal data collected by the LPR system may be used for:

• Parking management (such as administering pay-by-plate transactions, improving customer experiences, and parking lot utilization analyses);
• Parking enforcement (such as determining a vehicle’s parking permit permissions, issuing and supporting the issuance of parking citations, and processing responses to parking citations);
• Safety and security (such as addressing immediate or on-going safety concerns, conducting specific security investigations, and cooperating with compulsory law enforcement investigations); and
• Compliance with laws and regulations, meeting NSC requirements (such as NSC Administrative Policy Statements and NSC Presidential Orders), and/or for internal NSC reporting relating to health, safety or similar concerns.

Personal data may be shared with third-party vendors (such as information technology and LPR solutions providers) for storage and other processing of personal data. Personal data may also be shared to comply with a valid legal process, governmental request, or applicable law, rule or regulation. Personal data will not be sold or licensed to any third-parties for secondary commercial purposes.

Personal data collected through the LPR system that results in an enforcement action will be retained as needed to fulfill the purpose for collection, per applicable laws, and in accordance with applicable NSC retention schedules. Personal data that does not result in an enforcement action may be retained for up to ninety (90) days. 

Access to records created and maintained in connection with the LPR parking system is restricted to trained personnel performing their duties and, when necessary, a limited number of personnel with safety and security and/or law enforcement roles and responsibilities in accordance with their relative Union Collective Bargaining Agreements and FERPA guidelines.

  If you do not want your personal data to be collected, you may choose to not use parking areas and services managed by the Seattle Colleges.
