  1. Personal data processed and purpose of processing

In order to use the Drop app (provision and functionality of the app), which enables the intelligent use of the charging system operator's aqueduct charging system (hereinafter “administrator”), ChargeX processes personal data of the person concerned to the extent necessary in each case. Personal data is all data relating to the person concerned. This includes, for example, the name, location data, IP address, device ID, SIM card number and email address of the person concerned.

When using the Drop app, ChargeX collects and processes the following data from the person concerned:

device information

Access data includes the IP address, device ID, device type, device-specific settings and app settings, date and time of retrieval.

Information provided:

When registering and creating a user account, the user's email address is saved. This also applies to the password individualized by the user, which is stored in encrypted form. If the user has provided first and last names, these are also saved. Information is also stored as to whether the person concerned is a charging system user (hereinafter “end user”) or the charging system operator (hereinafter “administrator”). To operate the respective user account, the individual consumption of the end user and the number of charging units (“drops”) assigned to the end user are also stored. When starting the charging process via the Drop app, both the user ID and the charging card ID of the end user are used.

Information provided as part of the consent given:

With consent given, further information can be processed, such as GPS position data.

If access to the above data is restricted, the functionality of the Drop app may be restricted.

The data provided by the end user can be transmitted to the administrator, i.e. the charging system operator. The administrator has access to the data provided by the end user via the Drop app and the backend, i.e. the SaaS platform, which is used to establish communication with the charging station.

  1. Legal basis of data processing

Fulfilment of contract

The processing of personal data is necessary to use the Drop app and operate the Aqueduct charging system, in particular to enable intelligent, needs-based charging management for those involved alone. In addition, the processing of the data is necessary to authenticate the end user to the administrator (charging system operator). The legal basis for data processing is therefore the fulfilment of a contract in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Legitimate interest

In addition, ChargeX processes personal data to protect legitimate interests or to protect the legitimate interests of third parties, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. One of these is maintaining the functionality and security of ChargeX's IT system.

legal obligations

In addition, ChargeX may be required in individual cases to transfer the collected personal data to third parties on the basis of official or court orders or applicable legislation, insofar as this is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, prosecute or prevent threats to state or public security, Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. c, e, f, Art. 9 para. 2 lit. g, f GDPR.

consent

If the data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data for further purposes, processing is based on the consent given, Art. 6 (1) (a).

  1. Storage of information on the device

To use the Drop app, ChargeX stores certain information on the data subject's device with which they use the Drop app.

The user ID and charging card ID, the email address and a security token, which is created when logging in, are saved. If the person concerned has also provided first and last names as part of the registration process, this will also be stored on the device.

  1. Storage period

The personal data will be stored for as long as they are required for the respective purpose under Section 3. As a rule, the personal data of the person concerned is stored via the Drop app for the duration of the usage relationship. If the legal basis for processing is consent given, processing ends with the withdrawal of consent. Withdrawal is possible at any time.

Storage and processing beyond the respective purpose will only take place if this is necessary to comply with legal requirements.

With regard to the personal data stored and processed by ChargeX, the person concerned has various rights, which he can assert:
