Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 June 2026

Charge ("the app") is built so that we, the developer, never receive your data. This policy explains what that means.

What we collect

Nothing. Charge has no backend and no servers we operate. We do not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. Our App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected," and that is literally accurate.

Where your data lives

• Your trips, vehicles, preferences, and charging logs are stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData with NSFileProtectionComplete encryption.
• If you turn on iCloud sync (a Plus feature), your data is stored in your own private iCloud container, encrypted by Apple. We have no access to it.

Apple services the app uses

• WeatherKit — to read temperature along your route for cold-weather range adjustment. Requests go from your device to Apple, not to us.
• MapKit — for routing and maps. Apple's MapKit privacy terms apply; we receive nothing.
• StoreKit — to process subscriptions. Apple handles all payment data; we never see your payment details.
• Location (when in use) — used only on your device to set a trip's starting point and show nearby chargers. Your location is never transmitted to us.

Charger data

Charger locations come from the OpenChargeMap public dataset (ODbL 1.0), bundled inside the app and refreshed with each app update. The app does not call OpenChargeMap or any charger network at runtime.

Third parties

There are no third-party SDKs in Charge — no analytics, no ads, no crash reporters, no trackers. The compiled app links only Apple frameworks.

Children

Charge is rated 4+ and collects no data from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Because your data lives only on your device, you are in full control. You can delete all trips at any time in Settings, and uninstalling the app removes everything local. If iCloud sync is on, deleting from your iCloud removes it there too.
