Now that is an interesting case,
Based on the mandatory training I've just done, I agree.
The DVLA can hold the data but we have not given permission for it to be secondary processed by a private company. There is a bit about disclosure for legal compulsion but I don't see how a private parking company falls into that category. Their endpoint is not upholding the law it's commercial exploitation of an asset (or on behalf of the asset holder) and that isn't a legal compulsion.
Have the accidentally outlawed parking Nazis? I'll be first in line to challenge it if I get one from now on. I won't count on motorways or via the traffic cops but the private man in a van is an interesting situation as is the private ticket companies.
