About us

This Privacy Policy is designed with your needs in mind, and it is important that you have a comprehensive understanding of our personal information collection and usage practices, whilst ensuring that ultimately, you have control of your personal information provided to EVbee.

About this privacy policy

This Privacy Policy explains how EVbee collects, uses, discloses, processes and protects any personal information that you give us or that we collect from you. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when you use the services on our platform, it will only be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy and/or our terms and conditions for users. Under this Privacy Policy, "personal information” means information that can be used to directly or indirectly identify an individual, either from that information alone or from that information combined with other information EVbee has access to about that individual, except as otherwise specifically provided by applicable laws in your region. We will use your personal information strictly in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. What information is collected by us and how do we use it?

1.1 What information is collected by us
In order to provide our services to you, we will ask you to provide personal information that is necessary to provide those services to you. We will only collect the information that is necessary for its specified, concrete, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes. You have the right to choose whether or not to provide the information we have requested, but in most cases, if you do not provide your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our services or respond to your queries. Depending on the service you choose, we may collect the following types of information:

1.1.1 Information you provide to us
We may collect any personal information you provide to us, which is necessary for the service you choose. For example, you may provide your EVbee Account information when you log in; you may provide us your email address if you wish to receive news or updates from us.

1.1.2 Information that we collect in your use of services
We may collect log information related to your use, such as cookies, IP addresses. Log information is information related to your use of certain features of the websites.
For example, cookies and IP addresses, network request information, standard system logs, crash information, log information generated by using the services (such as access time, activity time, etc.). We use such information in aggregated form to improve your experience whilst using our apps and websites.

We collect information such as information about your activities on our websites. We use such information in aggregated form to provide you with more useful information and to understand which parts of our websites, products and services you are most interested in.

However, if we combine non-personal information with personal information, such information will be treated as personal information.

1.1.3 Non-personally identifiable information
We may also collect other types of information which are not directly or indirectly linked to an individual and which may not be defined as personal information according to applicable local laws. Such information may include statistical data generated when you use a specific service (e.g. user clicks, browsing behaviors, page access events). The purpose for such collecting is to improve the services we provide to you. The type and amount of information collected depends on how you use our services.

In its aggregated form, such data is not personal information as it cannot be used to identify you. However, if we combine non-personal information with personal information, such information will be treated as personal information.

1.2 How we use the personal information that we collect

3. How we store and protect your personal information

3.1 EVbee's security safeguards
We are committed to keeping your personal information secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure or other similar risks, we have put in place all legally required physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect from you. We will ensure that we safeguard your personal information in accordance with applicable law.

For example, when you access your EVbee Account, you can choose to use our two-step verification program for better security. When you send or receive data from your EVbee device to our servers, we make sure they are encrypted using Transport Layer Security ("TLS”) and other algorithms.

All your personal information is stored on secure servers and protected in controlled facilities. We classify your information based on importance and sensitivity and ensure that your personal information has the required level of security. We have special access controls for cloud-based data storage, and we regularly review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, to guard against any unauthorized access and use.

We conduct due diligence on business partners and third party service providers to make sure that they are able to protect your personal information. We also check that appropriate security standards are maintained by these third parties by putting in place appropriate contractual restrictions, and where necessary, carrying out audits and assessments. In addition, our employees and those of our business partners and third party service providers who access your personal information are subject to enforceable contractual obligations of confidentiality.

We conduct security and privacy protection training courses and tests to enhance our employees' awareness of the importance of protecting personal information. We will take all practicable and legally required steps to safeguard your personal information. However, you should be aware that the use of the Internet is not entirely secure, and for this reason we cannot guarantee the security or integrity of any personal information when transferred from you or to you via the Internet.

We handle personal data breaches as required by applicable data protection law which includes, where required, notifying the breach to the relevant data protection supervisory authority and data subjects.

3.2 What you can do
You can set a unique password for EVbee by not disclosing your sign-in password or account information to anybody (unless such person is duly authorized by you) to avoid password leaks to other websites which may harm your account security at EVbee. Whenever possible, please do not disclose the verification code you received to anyone (including those who claim to be EVbee customer service). Whenever you sign in as a EVbee Account user on EVbee websites, particularly on somebody else's computer or on public Internet terminals, you should always sign out at the end of your session.

EVbee cannot be held responsible for lapses in security caused by a third party accessing your personal information as a result of your failure to keep your personal information private. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you must notify us immediately if there is any unauthorized use of your account by any other Internet user or any other breach of security. Your assistance will help us protect the privacy of your personal information.

3.3 Retention policy
We retain personal information for the period necessary for the purpose of the information collection described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable laws. We will cease to retain and delete or anonymize personal information once the purpose of collection is fulfilled, or after we confirm your request for erasure, or after we terminate the operation of the corresponding service. An exception to this is personal information that we are processing for public interest, scientific, historical research, or statistical purposes. EVbee will continue to retain this type of information for longer than its standard retention period, where permitted based on applicable laws or your request, even if further data processing is not related to the original purpose of collection.

4. Your rights

Controlling your personal information

4.1 Controlling settings
EVbee recognizes that privacy concerns differ from person to person. Therefore, we provide examples of ways EVbee makes available to you to restrict the collection, use, disclosure or processing of your personal information and control your privacy settings, such as sign in or out of the EVbee Account.

4.2 Your rights to your personal information
Depending on applicable laws and regulations, you have the right to access, rectification, and erasure of any other personal information that we hold about you (hereinafter referred to as the request).

You may also access and update the details relating to the personal information in your EVbee Account by logging into your account on your device. For additional information, please write to us or contact us.
This Privacy Policy requires that your request satisfy applicable laws and regulations and the following conditions:

(1) Through EVbee's particular request submission channels listed below, and your request should be in writing (unless the local law explicitly recognizes the oral request), for the protection of your information security;

(2) Provide sufficient information to enable EVbee to verify your identity and ensure that you are the subject of the requested information or a personal legally authorized to act on the subject’s behalf.

Once we obtain sufficient information to confirm that your request can be processed, we shall proceed to respond to your request within any timeframe set out under your applicable data protection laws.

In detail:

• You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your personal information and your rights. This is why we are providing you with the information in this Privacy Policy.

• Based on the requirements of applicable laws, a copy of your personal data collected and processed by us will be provided to you upon your request free of charge. For any extra requests for relevant information, we may charge a reasonable fee based on actual administrative costs according to the applicable laws.

• If any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, you are entitled to have your personal information corrected or completed.

• Based on the requirements of applicable laws, you have the right to request the deletion or removal of your personal information where there is no compelling reason for us to keep using it. We shall consider the grounds regarding your erasure request and take reasonable steps, including technical measures. If the right is upheld, we may not be able to immediately remove the information from the backup system due to applicable law and/or technology limitations. If this is the case, we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until the backup can be cleared or be made anonymous.

• You have the right to object to certain types of processing, and under certain circumstances where the legal basis for processing is our legitimate interests.

Particularly under the laws of some jurisdictions:

• You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

• You have the right to apply for your personal information in a structured, commonly used format and transmit the information to another data controller.

We have the right to refuse to process requests that are frivolous requests that damage others' right of privacy, extremely unrealistic requests, requests that require disproportionate technical work, and requests not required under local law, information that have been made public, information given under confidential conditions. If we believe that certain aspects of the request to delete or access the information may result in our inability to legally use the information for the aforementioned anti-fraud and security purposes, it may also be rejected.
