Privacy statement

Robo Charge provides a modern platform around ev users. Everything concerning the use and management around charge points and charge cards is supported by the platform.

5. Automated decision-making

Robo Charge makes decisions about things that can (significantly) affect individuals on the basis of automated processing.

Robo Charge Portal controls data flows so that you can charge into the network or that charging can be done through the network. To do this as well as possible, we need data from you.
