1. The purposes and grounds of the personal data Collected by Jedlix

Jedlix collects and processes your personal data to deliver its smart charging services (hereafter the "Services"). The purposes of the Services are:

The legal grounds for these activities are the contract between you and Jedlix, as set out in the Terms of Use, and/or where relevant our legal obligation to process personal data, your consent or our legitimate interests to process your personal data.

More specifically, Jedlix will process your personal data to:

2. Your freedom to choose your smart charging services

In the Jedlix App, you are free to choose whether you want to charge your car using Jedlix smart charging services. You are also free to choose whether you want to generate savings based solely on your energy tariffs, and/or to generate earnings through our energy partners, and/or to generate earnings by allowing us and our partners to provide balancing services to grid operators. You must provide your explicit consent for us to collect and process the necessary personal data related to each service so that we can deliver that service to you.

3. How your personal data is collected

Your personal data is either collected from you directly when you provide information manually in the Jedlix App, or it is collected indirectly, from publicly available sources, or, with your explicit consent, it is collected from our partners in the energy and automotive industries.

We ask for your explicit consent in the Jedlix App for the right to collect and share the data necessary to deliver each smart charging service. Specifically, we ask for data regarding the historic load curve of your home meter for the relevant time period, as well as data to connect your home to the balancing services perimeter of the Balancing Service Providers (BSPs) we partner with. Our usage does not go beyond the stipulations of the energy code and regulations of your country of use. In the Jedlix App, you can decide whether or not to authorize Jedlix to access the data relevant to each particular service.

4. Jedlix' partners

In delivering its Services, Jedlix partners with several companies (data processors or data sub-processors, as the case may be) to enable the technical and financial operations of the Services. The third parties to whom the personal data are made available are obliged to handle your personal data confidentially. If these parties qualify as a 'data processor' within the meaning of the applicable privacy legislation, Jedlix will ensure that a data processing agreement is concluded with these parties, which complies with the requirements included in the GDPR and/or where relevant, the UK GDPR.

An up-to-date overview of the e-mobility stakeholders we partner with can be found here. These partners are:

Jedlix and its BSP partners work together to offer the TSO or ESO flexibility when charging your EV, allowing you to earn benefits through smart charging, even when your energy supplier is not partnered with Jedlix.

In order to provide its Services, Jedlix might need to transfer your personal data to a recipient in a country outside the European Economic Area which may offer a lower degree of protection of personal data than the European law offers. In that case, Jedlix will ensure that such a transfer of personal data is in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, for example by concluding a model contract prepared and approved for that purpose by the European Commission and will assess whether any additional measures are necessary to guarantee an appropriate level of protection of your personal data. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Jedlix if you wish to receive more information about the appropriate or suitable safeguards in place for data transfers outside of the European Economic Area or if you would like to obtain a copy of them.

5. Retaining and deleting personal data

Jedlix only retains your personal data for as long as it is necessary for us to fulfil the purpose we collected it for, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data. We also consider the potential risk of harm from any unauthorized access to or disclosure of your personal data. In all matters, we take into account the purposes for which we process your data, and we consider whether we could achieve this purpose through any other means while still meeting all the necessary legal requirements.

For example, the GPS location is only used to verify whether or not the vehicle is at your designated smart charge location and therefore stored for a very limited period.

After the termination of your use of the Jedlix App and Services (as detailed in the Terms of Use), your personal data is deleted within twelve months, unless Jedlix has been required to retain your personal data by law or by the relevant authorities. Details of your payments are kept as long as is necessary for us to comply with our legal and regulatory requirements. This is generally seven years unless the law prescribes a longer period.

6. Personal data necessary for your account settings and smart charging services

We collect the following data:

The processing is necessary to fulfil contract with you as part of your subscribed services as set out in the Jedlix Terms of Use (performance of the contract (GDPR, article 6.1 (b))).

You can read about this in Section 14 below.

7. Specific personal data necessary for generating savings on your energy bill

This ensures that your data is not misconstrued or damaged, and it guarantees that your data is not made available to any unauthorized third parties. These protections extend to the storage of your personal data on the secure servers issued by our provider.
