PlugShare - EV & Tesla Map

"When you use our website, we share information that we collect from you, such as your email (in hashed form), IP address or information about your browser or operating system, with our identity partners/service providers. These partners return an online identification code that we may store in our first-party cookie for our use in online, in-app, and cross-channel advertising and it may be shared with advertising companies to enable interest-based and targeted advertising."

PlugShare shares hashed emails and device info with identity partners who return tracking codes used for cross-channel advertising across online, in-app, and other contexts, enabling unified tracking profiles.

"For users of our Mobile Apps, we may also collect and maintain a history of your precise location information using Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth technologies, as well as your device identifiers and GPS coordinates (e.g., latitude/longitude)."

PlugShare collects and maintains a history of precise location data using multiple technologies including GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth, going beyond simple one-time location lookups.

"For users of the Mobile Apps, we may ask permission to access certain information from your mobile device, including your contact list, photos and videos, and microphone and camera. It is optional for you to provide us with access to this information. However, certain features of the Mobile Apps may not function optimally if you decide to not provide us with permission."

PlugShare requests access to contacts, photos, videos, microphone, and camera on mobile devices — permissions that go well beyond what an EV charging station finder would need for core functionality.

"We may or do disclose your Personal Information, in whole or in part, to the following types of unaffiliated parties: Data storage or hosting providers, Identity management providers, Payment solution providers, Survey and research providers, Advertising partners, including social media providers... delivering targeted advertisements."

PlugShare discloses personal information to a wide range of third parties including advertising partners and social media providers for targeted advertising purposes.

"Following termination or deactivation of your user account, we may retain your profile information and all information posted to public areas of the Websites. Following termination or deactivation of your user account, we may retain your Personal Information and other data, but will maintain it as confidential according to the Terms, this Privacy Policy, and as required by applicable law."

PlugShare retains profile information and personal data even after account termination or deactivation, with no specific timeline for deletion and broad discretion over how long data is kept.

"We are constantly working to improve our Services, and we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well. Our current Privacy Policy will always be on our Websites. Please notice the effective date on this Privacy Policy and make sure to periodically check back for updates."

PlugShare reserves the right to change its privacy policy at any time without providing direct notice to users, placing the burden on users to periodically check for updates.

"You may request deletion of your account by emailing us. It is your responsibility to maintain your current email address with us. Following termination or deactivation of your user account, we may retain your profile information and all information posted to public areas of the Websites."

Account deletion requires emailing support rather than a self-service option, and PlugShare may still retain profile information and personal data after the account is deleted.
