Data security

Easee values your privacy rights and has taken reasonable steps to protect the users’ privacy, including by implementation of physical, technical and organizational measures, to prevent loss, alterations, theft and unauthorized access to information stored and otherwise processed. 

We have also established comprehensive protocols for data protection and breach management. In the event of a security incident resulting in unauthorized access, loss, or alteration of personal data that presents a moderate to significant risk to affected individuals, we will inform the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet) or other applicable regulatory bodies within a 72-hours. 

Data retention

How long we store your personal data is determined by several factors. As a main rule, Easee will delete most of your personal data four years after you stop using our products and services or four years after the termination of our contract with you. We will also delete most of the personal data we have about you upon your request. 

Please note that continued storage of personal data may be necessary due to statutory obligations to which Easee is subject, e.g., storage for accounting purposes, or due to Easee’s legitimate interests, e.g., for the purpose to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim. In those, circumstances, Easee will make sure only limited and necessary personal data will be processed. Charger Activity Data are permanently stored, but these are not associated with any personal data once the relevant user account or Charger Setting and Site Data is deleted. 

Easee may keep Anonymized information for unlimited period. These approach allows us to retain useful information while protecting your privacy by removing all personally identifiable elements. 

Transfer of personal data

When you use our products and services, your personal data may be subject to processing or storage outside the EU/EEA, including in the United States. In such cases, Easee will ensure that the personal data is subject to appropriate safeguards, including using only companies self-certified under the EU-U.S Data Privacy Framework or entering EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the recipients of the data. Please contact us if you require further information. 

6. For whom we disclose your information

Easee will only disclose personal data to third parties to the extent Easee has legal basis for such disclosure. Where relevant, we will disclose your personal data for the following recipients: 

GROUP COMPANIES: To the extent necessary to fulfil any of the purposes stated in Section 4 above, your data is shared with other companies and subsidiaries within the Easee Group. Currently, all Easee Group Companies and Subsidiaries are located within the EU/EEA and UK. 

SERVICE PROVIDERS: Easee uses third parties (data processors) to collect, store or otherwise process personal data on our behalf, including for cloud hosting services. Such third parties also include our social media providers, as clarified in section 8 below. The relationship to such suppliers is governed by a data processor agreement, which among other things ensures confidentiality and information security for your personal data. 

PUBLIC AUTHORITIES: Easee may disclose personal data to public authorities in order to comply with statutory requirements or orders from the authorities, e.g., to comply with obligations under the applicable accounting or tax legislation.

This is done in accordance with their API integration agreement with Easee.

This means they independently determine the purposes and means of processing of your data. We strongly recommend reviewing their privacy policies and terms of use, or contacting them directly, to understand how they manage your personal information. 

8. Links to third party websites, services and social media platforms
