Ambu Energy Inc. (“AmbuEnergy” or “we”) respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it by complying with this privacy policy.

This privacy policy describes:

  • The types of information AmbuEnergy may collect from app or website users (“you”) or that you may provide when you download, install, register with, access or use the AmbuEnergy mobile application (the “App”)and/or www.AmbuEnergy.com (the “Website”).
  • Our practices for collecting, using, storing, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

Your Consent

Please read this privacy policy carefully to understand our policies and practices for collecting, processing, and storing your information. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not download, register with, or use this App or Website. By downloading, registering with, or using this App or Website, you indicate that you understand, accept, and consent to the practices described in this privacy policy.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice; however, without such consent, AmbuEnergy may be limited in the services we are able to provide you.

We reserve the right to update our privacy policy from time to time (see “Changes to Our Privacy Policy” section below). Your continued use of the App and/or Website after we make changes indicates that you accept and consent to those changes, so please check our privacy policy periodically for updates.

Types of Information and their Uses

In order to enable you to register to receive electric vehicle (EV) charging services from AmbuEnergy, we collect and store your name, mailing address (so that we may send you an AmbuEnergy card and distinguish you from another customer that might have used the same name), your phone number (so that we can send you text alerts when your EV is done charging if you opt in to receive them), your email (so that we can send you end of charging messages and

communications about your account or our services), your vehicle make, model and production year (so that we will know what type of EV you’re driving if you experience issues and so that we can determine if certain makes, models or model years of EVs are experiencing issues with our charging services), a password that you create when you create an account (so that you can log on), a PIN that you set up when you create an account (so that you can access a charger using your email or phone and this PIN), and your credit card number, billing address and CCV number (so that we can collect payment for delivering you EV charging services). When you create your account, you can select whether you want to get a text and/or an email notification when your EV has completed charging. You can change this at any time by logging into your account on this App or on the Website, once the Website becomes available to our users.

When you use our EV charging services, we store the identifier of the charger that was used, the start and stop times for the charging session, how much energy you received throughout the session and how much you were charged for the session. We store your personal information (which is your name, address, phone number, email, password, PIN, and the make, model and production year of your EV) in an encrypted database. Currently, this information is stored indefinitely. This policy will be updated if that is changed. We also store the data for each of your charging sessions indefinitely. This policy will be updated if that is changed.

Your credit card number and CCV number are not stored by AmbuEnergy. When you enter a credit card number and CCV account during account creation or when updating your profile, we send that information to our credit card processing agency and they send us back a code that is only matched to your card number on their databases, and we store that code so that we can use it to process future transactions from you. We don’t retain the original credit card number or CCV code (and we have no means to use the code that the credit card processing agency gave us to get your credit card number) but we do retain the last 4 digits of the card because we have found that it helps to research billing questions if you call or email us with one.

When you use the App, we have to access your GPS location to show you the location of the EV chargers around you and provide directions to them. We don’t store your GPS location in our App. When you use the Website, we also access your location through your browser to show you the location of EV chargers around you. We don’t store your location through the use of cookies or any other means. You can mark certain EV chargers as your favorites, and we will store those favorites in your data. They are stored until you remove them from your favorites. We don’t keep track of your past favorites. If you select the Remember Me option in the App, the App will use a cookie to remember your identity so that you don’t have to log in each time you want to use the App to access our charging services. We don’t try to track your activities on any websites outside of ours by using cookies or any other means.

We send out newsletters to our customers that tell you about new features, new charger locations, promotions or similar announcements. We use the email addresses from our customer database to send out the newsletters. When you get one of these newsletters, there is an unsubscribe link included in the newsletter. Clicking on this will opt you out of future newsletters.

We also do surveys sometimes to learn about how customers are using the chargers and what they want out of their charging services, and we include links to these surveys in our newsletters. If you don’t want to take a survey, don’t click on the link in the newsletter.

Disclosure Of Your Information

We may disclose aggregated information about our users and information that does not identify any individual, without restriction.

We do not share your personal information (i.e. information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person) with owners or hosts of individual charging stations. The owners or hosts of individual charging stations can view reports of the charging activities of their chargers, but those reports do not include customers’ personal information, only a numerical customer number. This allows the station owners or hosts to know if they have a regular user, but not who that user is. They see a report that has an entry for each charging session that shows the start and stop times, the energy that was delivered throughout the session, how much money their charger collected for the session, the numerical customer number, how the session was authorized, the charger touchscreen if it had one, or our App).

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy:

  • To our affiliates.
  • If we become involved with a transaction involving the transfer of or sale of some or all of our business assets, we may share your information with business entities or people involved in the negotiation or transfer provided that such parties agrees to solely use and/or disclose your personal information only in an manner consistent with this privacy policy.
  • To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business. We contractually require these third parties to keep personal information confidential, use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them, and to process personal information following the same standards set out in this policy.
  • To fulfill the purpose(s) for which you provide it.
  • For any other purpose we disclose when you provide the information.
  • With your consent.
  • To comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including responding to any government or regulatory request, according to applicable law.
  • To enforce our rights arising from any contracts between you and AmbuEnergy, including the App, and for billing and collection.
  • If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of AmbuEnergy, our customers and users, or others.

Security Of Your Information

The security of your personal information is very important to us. We use physical, electronic, and administrative measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from

unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. We store all information you provide to us behind firewalls on our secure servers which are managed by our software service provider. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology.

The safety and security of your personal information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or you have chosen) a password and/or PIN for access to certain parts of our App or Website, as applicable, you are responsible for keeping it confidential.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through the App or Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any App or Website privacy settings or security measures.

We may process, store, and transfer your personal information in and to other countries with different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as Canadian law. In these circumstances, the governments, courts, law enforcement, or regulatory agencies of that country may be able to obtain access to your information. Whenever we engage a service provider, we require that its privacy and security standards comply with this policy and applicable Canadian laws.

Information Retention

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulation, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Under some circumstances we may anonymize or aggregate your personal information so that it can no longer be associated with you. We reserve the right to use such anonymous and de-identified data for any legitimate business purpose without further notice to you or your consent.
