CHARGE+ PTE LTD ("Charge+", "we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting
the privacy and personal data of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose,
and safeguard your personal data when you use the Charge+ Driver App (the "App"), which is the
dedicated mobile application for authorised electric vehicle ("EV") drivers to:
(a) view and manage their assigned EV charging schedules at Charge+ Charging Stations
("Charging Stations");
(b) make and cancel charging reservations;
(c) manage their driver profile and account credentials; and
(d) receive push notifications and service updates relating to their charging activities,
(collectively, the "Services"). When we use "you", "your" or
"User", we refer to any authorised driver who accesses or uses the App.
By accessing or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy
and consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data as described herein.
This Privacy Policy is issued in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 of Singapore
("PDPA") and any other applicable data protection laws and regulations.
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY.
Part A: Personal Data We Collect

4. WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH
4.1
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your personal data with the following
categories of recipients:
4.1.1Service providers and vendors — third-party companies and individuals
that perform services on our behalf, including cloud hosting providers, analytics providers

administrators of Charge+ charging facilities may have access to your charging schedule data,
vehicle assignment information, and session records to the extent required to manage and
operate the charging infrastructure.

Part E: SDKs and Tracking Technologies
5. MOBILE SDKs AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
5.1
As the App is a native mobile application, we do not use browser cookies. Instead, we and
our service providers integrate software development kits (SDKs), log files, and encrypted
local storage into the App to collect and store information about how you use the App.
5.2
These technologies help us to:
maintain your authenticated session securely between App launches;
store your display theme preference locally on your device;
understand usage patterns and improve App performance;
detect and diagnose technical problems and crashes; and
deliver timely push notifications to your device.
5.3
You may be able to limit certain data collection through your mobile device's system settings
(e.g. disabling push notification permissions in iOS or Android Settings). However, doing so
may affect your ability to receive important service alerts and schedule notifications.
Part F: Third-Party Services
6. THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS
6.1
Our App integrates the following third-party services that may collect and process your data
under their own privacy policies:
6.1.1Firebase Analytics (Google) — we use Firebase Analytics to collect
anonymised usage event data, track screen views, and monitor how drivers interact with the
App. Data collected includes app open events, login events, screen names visited, and
custom interaction events. Processed in accordance with
Google's Privacy
Policy.
6.1.2Firebase Crashlytics (Google) — we use Crashlytics to
automatically collect crash reports and diagnostic data when the App encounters an error.
This may include device state information, stack traces, and app version details at the
time of the crash. Processed in accordance with
Google's Privacy
Policy.
6.1.3Firebase Cloud Messaging — FCM (Google) — we use FCM to deliver
push notifications to your device. To enable this, your FCM device token, device type,
operating system version, and app version are registered with our backend upon login and
removed upon logout. Processed in accordance with
Google's Privacy
Policy.
6.1.4Firebase Remote Config (Google) — we use Remote Config to manage
and update App configuration and feature settings remotely without requiring an App update.
No personal data is directly collected through this service.
6.1.5Firebase App Check (Google) — we use App Check to verify that
API requests originate from authentic instances of the App, protecting our backend services
from abuse. This service processes a device integrity attestation but does not collect
personal data directly.

Font resources may be loaded from Google servers, which may log your device's IP address
in accordance with
Google's Privacy
Policy.

to review their respective privacy policies.
Part G: Data Retention
7. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR DATA
7.1
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which
it was collected, including satisfying any applicable legal, regulatory, or operational
requirements. The appropriate retention period for any particular category of personal data
will depend on the nature of the data and the purpose for which it was collected.
7.2
Authentication tokens used to maintain your login session are stored only on your device and
are cleared automatically when you log out of the App.
7.3
Where we use third-party services (such as Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics) that
retain data according to their own default retention settings, we will endeavour to configure
those services in line with our data minimisation obligations.
7.4
When personal data is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete
or anonymise it. Where immediate deletion is not technically feasible (e.g. data held in
backup systems), we will isolate the data from further active processing until deletion
is possible.
Part H: Data Security
8. HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA
8.1
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data
against unauthorised access, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These
measures include:
encryption of data in transit using industry-standard TLS protocols;
encryption of sensitive data at rest;
access controls and authentication mechanisms to limit access to personal data to
authorised personnel only;
regular security assessments and penetration testing; and
staff training on data protection and information security.
8.2
Notwithstanding the above, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage
is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee
absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights, we will notify
you and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
