Why Is My E-mail Address Needed?
Your e-mail address is a unique identifier used to combine tickets marked for payment into one lump sum.
Is My E-mail Address Retained?
No, your e-mail address is not stored by the municipality, merchants, or any other party. The file containing e-mail information is erased after two hours have elapsed from the time the e-mail address was entered.
