Who we share it with

We use a small number of sub-processors, each receiving only the minimum needed:

  • ENTSO-E — only your country zone code, to fetch day-ahead electricity prices.
  • Open-Meteo — your coordinates, to fetch a solar and temperature forecast.
  • Home Energy Management System Connection — your HEMS identifyer, to relay the connection to your home system.

We do not sell personal data or use it for advertising.

Security

Contact details, vehicle usage data, vehicle identifiers and home connection credentials are encrypted at rest. Passwords are stored only as irreversible hashes.

Consent

For execution of the service we record when consent was given. You may withdraw consent at any time; we then stop processing and, on request, erase your data.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and port your data, and to object to processing based on legitimate interest. To exercise any of these, contact us at the address above. You may also lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
