Privacy policy

Updated 8 February 2021

 

1. Introduction
Zaptec AS (hereinafter referred to as “Zaptec”) is committed to protecting the privacy of its customers. This policy sets out how we process personal data. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use personal data when Zaptec is the Data Controller or in other situations to which this policy applies. “Personal data” refers to information about you or another person that can be identified.


2. Data Controller
Zaptec’s CEO is the Data Controller for all data and determines the purpose of the processing of personal data. However, the Data Controller may assign tasks to subordinates and may delegate the day-to-day responsibility for the processing of personal data where necessary to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Norwegian Personal Data Act and the provisions set down in this policy.

 

Please to do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about this policy or about our processing of personal data in general:

 

E-mail address: gdpr@zaptec.com
Postal address: Zaptec Charger AS, PO Box 8034, 4068 Stavanger, Norway

 

Zaptec recommends that you do not send any sensitive or confidential information via e-mail.

 

3. Collection and use of personal data
Zaptec’s processing of personal data is based either on contractual fulfilment or legitimate interest.  The personal data that we collect is used solely for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Zaptec shall ensure that any personal data processed is not subsequently used for purposes that are not in accordance with the original purpose of the collection of such personal data, unless the customer consents to such use.

 

The personal data that we collect and use shall be adequate and relevant for the purpose of the processing and shall be correct and up-to-date.

 

Zaptec’s procedures for the processing of personal data are secure. Data is stored securely so that it cannot be used improperly and so that the requirements concerning privacy, confidentiality and accessibility set down in the Norwegian Personal Data Act are met.

 

Only selected Zaptec employees have access to personal data. Access is managed using password-based access control. Zaptec has proper access control procedures in place.

 

We collect personal data for the purposes specified below.

    Zaptec processes your charging history. This processing is necessary for us to be able to fulfil our obligations under the agreement entered into with the customer. This ensures that you are able to charge using chargers and installations that require internal approval, manage installations and charging stations, view the charging history for an installation, view your own charging history and log into the app. The app uses the same login details and database as ZapCloud.

        4.3 Installation owners

        The charging history for charging stations operated by Zaptec can be viewed by users assigned to an owner role for the charging stations. These owners can view and export (download) usage data for their charging stations. Usage data may include personal data, such as e-mail address, name, user ID and the charging cards used. Owners may use usage data for e.g. billing, monitoring and statistical purposes. Zaptec requires owners to process exported data prudently and to delete the data when it is no longer required. Zaptec is not liable for owners’ use of such data. Please contact the installation owner if you require further details about how they use and process exported usage data.

         

        4.4 Public authorities, etc. 
        In special cases, personal data may be disclosed to a relevant public authority or other agencies where required by law. 

         

        5. Storage and deletion of personal data
        Zaptec uses Microsoft Azure’s European data centres for all of our services and for storage. All communications to and from Azure are encrypted.

         

        Personal data is stored in Azure SQL until the account is deleted. Your charging history is permanently linked to your user account. If you change your personal data or ask for your profile to be deleted, the changed data may remain accessible through security back-ups of the database for the period for which we retain such back-ups, up to five weeks.

         

        Charging point records are permanently stored in Azure Table Storage.

         

        Your e-mail address, IP address and other non-personal data are stored in log files on the web servers. We use these logs to track errors, potential security threats and misuse. Logs may be stored for up to five weeks before they are permanently deleted.

         

        Your personal data linked to purchases will generally be deleted when it is no longer necessary to store such data in order to respond to your inquiries, if the product warranty period has lapsed or unless we require the data for a longer period of time in order to fulfil other legitimate purposes such as contractual obligations or statutory obligations, for example in accordance with accounting legislation.

         

        We will delete personal data that we process on the basis of your consent if you withdraw your consent.

         

        In certain cases, it may be necessary to anonymise the personal data instead of deleting it. Anonymisation refers to removing all identifying or potentially identifying characteristics from the datasets that are kept.

         

        6. Your rights
        You have the right to know which personal data Zaptec holds about you and you have the right to access the data. You have the right to update incomplete, incorrect, unnecessary or outdated personal data. You have the right to request that your personal data be deleted and to request a copy of the data in a machine-readable format. You have the right to object to or restrict data processing under certain circumstances, such as if you believe that the data contains errors or that the processing is unlawful.

         

        Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or wish to exercise your rights as a Data Subject.

         

        7. Complaints
