Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how PlugPay AS ("PlugPay", "we", "us") collects and uses personal data when you use our services, including the web and the PlugPay Charge mobile app, as well as your rights.
Personal data collected and processed
We collect and process the following categories of personal data. Providing this information is voluntary, but we may be unable to give you access to the service if you choose not to.
- Personal information — name, address, telephone number, email address, date of birth and organisation number (for business customers)
- Authentication — password (stored as a hash), biometric keys (Face ID / Touch ID are stored locally on your device and never with us), Vipps identity when logging in via OAuth
- Agreement and use — information about agreements, orders, purchases, payment status, invoices, service requests and messages to support
- Consumption data — measurement of electricity consumption and data from charging stations (kWh, time, duration, price)
- Device data — push token for notifications, user ID, associated RFID tags and associated chargers
- Diagnostics — crash reports and performance data from the app, anonymised
Purpose of processing personal data
- To make contact and offer our services
- To provide access to our services
- To send relevant information and notifications
- To provide customer service and support
- To detect, prevent and address technical issues
- To fulfil legal obligations (accounting, tax)
Sharing with third parties
We do not sell personal data. We only share information with third parties where it is necessary to deliver the service:
- Vipps — for optional login with Vipps (OAuth identity)
- Apple Push Notification Service and Google Firebase Cloud Messaging — for delivery of push notifications
- Google Cloud (Vertex AI, EU/Frankfurt) — for AI-assisted customer service; our support may use an AI assistant to look up your charging sessions to help you. Data is processed in the EU and is not used to train models.
- Accounting and invoicing services — as needed for financial follow-up
- Public authorities — where we are legally required to do so
Information security
All communication between the app/website and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS). Passwords are stored as a one-way hash and cannot be reconstructed. Sensitive data is encrypted at rest. Biometric authentication is handled by the operating system on your device and never leaves the device.
Retention period
Personal data is stored for as long as you are a customer of ours, and for at least three years after the services and customer relationship have ended. Personal data relating to invoices and payment is retained for at least five years, as required under Norwegian accounting legislation (bokføringsloven). Outside of a customer relationship, personal data is deleted once the data processing has ended.
Rights
Under Norwegian law and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:
- Access to the personal data we hold about you
- Rectification of inaccurate information
- Erasure (see the separate section below)
- Restriction of processing
- Data portability
- To object to processing based on our legitimate interest
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
If you believe that we have not complied with your rights, you may file a complaint with Datatilsynet (the Norwegian Data Protection Authority).
