Special Notice – if you are under 18 years old. Processing children’s personal data
If personal data of children is gathered this requires consent of the parent or guardian.
We do not intentionally collect personal data of individuals of those who are under 18 years old. Except in those cases where we organise educational events specifically designed for those under 18 years old or in Government Related Programmes where children of 16 or older are lawfully eligible or able to participate. If you are under 18 years old (or a different age to reflect local legal requirement for minors) please do not send us your personal data.
Given that our products and services relate to driving, we assume you are over 18 years old. If you wish to contact us in a way which requires you to submit your personal data (such as for educational or innovation events) please appoint your parent or guardian to act for you, to consent on your behalf to the processing (including disclosure and transfer) of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Notice.
What personal data do we process about you? The categories of personal data we process.
We collect personal data about you, as a Shell Recharge customer, user of our app and/or visitor to our website and social media pages. Please find the type of interaction you have with use to learn more about what personal data we process. For your convenience we have divided the interactions across 3 types: Charge Point users, website and app users and direct interactions.
1. Charge point users:
- Charging via the Shell Recharge Asia App: before you can start using a charge point via the Shell Recharge Asia App, we request you to register on the Shell Recharge Asia App. We will collect your name, email address, phone number and payment method details.
- Ad hoc charging as Guest User: when you scan a QR code displayed on a charge point to enable you to access ad hoc charging, two options will be presented to you. The first option allows you to charge your vehicle with direct payment, in which case we only request you to provide us with (i) your email address for purposes of sending a receipt for the charge session (if you wish to receive a receipt for the charging session ); however, your email address will not be stored in our customer database; and (ii) your credit card details, of which we will only store the last four digits of your credit card number, the expiry date of the credit card, and the security code. Please note that a 3rd party payment provider will process your payment. The second option is to download an app and create an account. The data collected will be the same as mentioned at Registration and all personal data is securely stored in an encrypted manner.
2. Website/App Users:
- General: if you use our applications for mobile devices, we may, with your consent, collect your location data to enable features such as navigation, receiving charging notifications or enabling you to notify us about faults. Besides this your mobile device will automatically share certain data with us because the device interacts with the app. When you use the app, you create an account for which we collect the data specified under “charge point user”.
- Exchanges by device: when you visit our websites, data is automatically collected by the technology platforms providing the experience. For example, your web browser or mobile device may share certain data with us because those devices interact with our website. This data includes device ID, network access, storage information and battery information, cookies, IP-addresses, referrer headers, data identifying your web browser and version and web beacons and tags.
- Other applications: We are continuously striving to offer the best and smartest charging solutions. To avoid an ongoing update of this privacy policy we also use application specific privacy policies. You will be informed on these privacy policies before said applications collect your personal data. As mentioned in the application specific privacy policies this privacy policy will form an integral part of the application specific privacy policies.
3. Direct Interactions:
- Newsletter and publications: if subscribed, we will collect your name and contact information and you can unsubscribe at any time.
- Communications concerning our own products or services: we may send communications concerning our own products and services to our customers. You can unsubscribe from such communications at any time.
- Campaign or competition: if you choose to participate in a campaign or competition, we ask for the necessary personal data required. This is to ensure we can operate it, announce winner(s) and to gauge the response to any marketing and to provide you with ongoing marketing offers if you have agreed to receive these as part of your participation.
- Surveys: if you participate in our surveys, we will collect your personal data as part of customer satisfaction research related to the products and services offered to you.
- Other: if you contact us by phone or email, we will collect the data you provide to us.
