PRIVACY POLICY
The Effective Date of this Privacy Policy is March 10, 2020.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Chargefon web sites that post this policy (each a “Site”), and to information
collected through Chargefon stations and Chargefon mobile applications, including any available interactive
features, downloads, applications, widgets or other outlets made available through a Chargefon web site or that
interact with a mobile Chargefon web site, and that post or include a link to this Privacy Policy, regardless of
whether accessed via computer, mobile device or otherwise (collectively, the “Chargefon Platforms”). This
Privacy Policy only covers information collected on the Chargefon Platforms owned and controlled by
Chargefon, Corp and does not cover any information collected at any other web site (unless specifically stated).
This Privacy Policy explains Chargefon’ information collection practices, such as the types of information
Chargefon collects and how we may use that information. This Private Policy is hereby incorporated in
Chargefon’ Terms of Use and all limitations, allowances, or rights therein will equally apply to the terms herein.
CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY
Chargefon reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any
time without notice to you. Any
changes will be effective immediately
upon the posting of the revised Privacy Policy.
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
Information You Provide Us
We may ask you to provide personal information, which information
identifies you as a specific
individual, such as your name, phone number,
e-mail address or payment information (collectively,
“Personal Information”),
and other information about you, such
as demographic information (for
example, your gender, age or similar information).
Providing this information is completely voluntary,
but a failure to
provide the information might restrict use of the Chargefon Platform, including without
limitation,
the products or batteries.
Information We Collect Automatically
We and our third-party service providers may use a variety of
technologies that automatically or
passively collect certain information
whenever you visit or interact with us or our content found
elsewhere on
the internet (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include the browser
and
operating system you are using, the URL or advertisement that referred
you to our Site or content, all of
the areas within our Site that you
visit, including items that you browse, the time of day, and the
preceding page viewed, among
other information. We may use Usage Information for a variety of
purposes,
including to enhance or otherwise improve the Site services, and Chargefon Platforms.
In
addition, we may automatically collect your IP address or
other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”)
for any computer, mobile phone or
other device (any, a “Device”) you may use to access our
Site or
mobile application. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to
your Device used
to access our Site or mobile application, and our
servers identify your Device by its Device Identifier.
When you download and use our mobile application, we also collect information about your
mobile
device, including the hardware model, operating system and version,
mobile network information, time
zone and location information. Please note that you
have the ability to stop Chargefon collection of
location information at any time by
changing the settings on your Device or by following the standard
uninstall process and
removing our mobile application from your Device. Usage Information is
generally
non-identifying, but if Chargefon associates it with you as a specific and
identifiable person,
Chargefon treats it as Personal Information.
Chargefon may use a variety of methods to collect Usage Information, which
may include without
limitation: cookies; web beacons; and embedded scripts.
We may also record information regarding the use of our Stations. This information
is typically non-
identifying, but if it is identifiable to you as a specific person,
we will treat it as Personal Information
under this Privacy Policy.
Information Third Parties Provide About You and Social Media Interactions
Chargefon may receive information about you from third parties. For
example, if you are on another
web site and you agree to receive information from Chargefon,
that web site will forward your contact
and other information to us so
that we may contact you as requested. You may also choose to
participate in
a third party application or feature (such as one of our Facebook,
applications or a
similar application or feature on a third party web
site) through which you post content or allow us to
collect (or
the third party to share) information about you, including Personal Information. The third
party
may allow you to remove the application or feature, in which case we will no
longer collect
information about you through the application or feature,
but we may retain the information previously
collected. In addition,
we may receive information about you if other users of a third party
web site
give us access to their profiles and you are one of
their “connections” or information about you is
otherwise accessible through
your “connections” web page, profile page, or similar page on a social
networking
or other third party web site, application or interactive service.
Use of Information Collected Through the Platforms

features we offer or to provide related customer service,
including, without limitation,
to respond to your questions, complaints or comments; (2) process a
rental, purchase,
or other transaction you initiate; (3) investigate and prevent fraudulent transactions
and
other illegal activities; (4) process your registration, including verifying your

Chargefon identification or transaction number, with third parties. We may
share the information we

conducting an investigation; or (iii) to protect and/or
defend the Terms of Use, the Chargefon Rental

party ads on
the site and those ads may be served by a third party. These other
companies may collect
certain information about your visits to this or
other web sites in connection with serving
advertisements and providing
us with analytics information. We do not share personal information with
these third parties,

your Device and they may
otherwise collect or have access to
information about you, including Usage Information.

widgets

may independently collect data or solicit Personal Information and may or
may not have
their own published privacy policies. Chargefon is not responsible for
the privacy practices employed
by any third party.

no
