What information do we collect from Users?

Chargy provides Users with a charging service for their mobile devices through various intelligent charging terminals with monitors ("Battery Sharing Stations") that incorporate 5,000 mAh lithium batteries ("Powerbanks") and that can be located indoors or outdoors.

Our devices may be installed outdoors or in the premises of our clients. Both we and our clients, through surveys or registration forms, may request and collect User data or request their consent for this purpose, in order to use such data for informational, commercial, or advertising purposes about their own products and/or services. During the process, we will clearly inform you of the purposes for which your data will be used and request your consent when necessary.

We collect the following categories of User information: (A) personal identification information; (B) passive information collected electronically, and (C) location information (together, the "Information").

Chargy will anonymize some of the data it collects when using it for various purposes such as market analysis or traffic flow analysis or other internal purposes. Chargy has a legitimate interest in producing these reports in order to improve the quality of service provision.

(A) Personal identification information

Receive and store any information obtained through the provision of services that allows the User to be personally identified, contacted, or other persons to be identified.

The data collected from the User includes:

Complete current registration information, consisting of name, surname, email address, User password, date of birth, telephone number, gender, age, and country of residence. Any data that the User provides about themselves or others when sending an email to Chargy, communicating with technical support, or directly with Chargy. Information related to or connected to a social media account that the User uses to register or log in to the Application or Website. For example, when the User associates their Facebook account with the Application, Chargy will have access to their public profile, friend list, and email address. If the User registers or logs in with other social media accounts, such as Instagram, Twitter, Gmail, or LinkedIn, Chargy may obtain similar information from those platforms. For this, the User must have accepted their corresponding terms and conditions. However, Chargy will only collect name, surname, email, and avatar from all that information. In relation to this information, the User should be aware that social networks have their own independent privacy policies, which inform about how they use the personal data of their users. It is advisable to review such privacy policies and the information that is collected, made public, and/or decided to be shared through them. Information regarding the User's debit card. Such data will be minimal and limited to part of the credit card numbers and the expiration date. Other information that the User may provide to receive free services, participate in a sweepstakes or contest, or make inquiries. (B) Passively collected electronic information

Both Chargy and the entities that provide services to it (the "Service Providers"), or the entities in whose facilities the Battery Sharing Stations are located, or the entities that use Chargy's services to advertise (the "Advertisers") and other third parties to whom Chargy communicates User data may automatically collect certain types of passive information when the User uses Chargy's services. For example, it may collect identifiers such as an IDFA (for iOS) or AAID (for Android), or the hardware model, operating system version, network provider, IP address, MAC address, and other unique device identifiers.

Usage information of the service will also be collected, such as the frequency of users using the service, pages, forms, or screens visited, session status, and similar data associated with your mobile device or the use of a charging unit.

(C) Location information through Chargy charging devices

This is information derived from GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, compass, accelerometer, IP address, or posts containing location information. The User will share certain device location information in some cases:

when the Battery Sharing Stations are located within the facilities and in the private areas of our Clients, through the installed Beacons. The Application may use this type of information when the User uses certain location-based functions, such as the Compass (to locate the Battery Sharing Stations nearby), Map (to take you to the nearest Battery Sharing Station), and when the User shares their location with other Chargy Users; when the user removes the Powerbanks, in order to track and confirm whether they are returned to the Battery Sharing Stations or not. The entities, as well as all those third parties that use Chargy's services to obtain data from Users (our clients who may be referred to as "Partners" in this Privacy Policy), some of which operate Battery Sharing Stations or the facilities where Battery Sharing Stations are located, are not affiliated with Chargy and may have their own privacy policies and terms of use, which you may be asked to accept before using a Chargy charging device or that may govern the use of the information collected from the use of the services provided.

Likewise, we inform you that the collection and processing of some of this information is necessary for Chargy to be able to provide some of its services, in particular, the possibility of charging your mobile device with the Powerbanks.

Computer Vision in our devices

Computer Vision software is commonly used in the advertising sector. When Computer Vision technology is used, even if it is used for a Chargy campaign or its partners, a camera installed on our devices is enabled that can recognize basic characteristics of people (gender, height, age, etc.) who are looking at the screen to personalize interactions with the ad they are viewing. It can also capture apparent engagement with the ads we promote (such as the time someone looked at the ad).

If Chargy or our partners use Computer Vision technology, although Computer Vision systems use a camera, this does not mean that they use it as a recording medium, instead they use it as a visual sensor, so there are no images or videos that are saved or transmitted at any time. Personal data is never collected or processed in the operation of our software or our partners' software. The software used is subject to strict anonymization procedures, information security, and collection of anonymous and aggregated data without incurring in the collection of personal data.

At Chargy, we use Computer Vision software from third-party companies. We contract software providers that have undergone privacy impact assessments and have signed documentation committing to comply with applicable data protection legislation. Chargy does not attempt to identify you from Computer Vision software, it is not technically possible, nor are we interested in profiling people. Instead, we and our partners anonymize and aggregate any information into large-scale datasets to better understand the demographic reactions of the audience to the ads we promote, on behalf of our advertisers.
