What personal data we collect and how we use it

Allego and its contracted third parties collect and use personal data from its users. This personal data is limited to the types of data that must be processed in order for you to use Allego’s services. This information may include your initials, last name, e-mail address, telephone number, Facebook account name, Google account name, charge card number, bank account number and credit card number. Allego uses this information to provide you with our services, ranging from charging services to newsletters. We do not share or sell personal information to anyone and exclusively share information with third parties if they are contracted to facilitate the delivery of our services or if we are under a legal obligation to do so.

This section of the Privacy Notice outlines the different categories of personal data we collect and use.

When charging your vehicle

Allego must process your personal information for the purpose of carrying out our contractual obligations with your service provider. As such, by using Allego’s charging stations, your personal data will be processed. The personal data processed by Allego to carry out a charging session is your contract identification number, which is on your charge card. Your charge card is issued by your service provider. Processing your charge card is necessary for carrying out the charging session of your vehicle and the billing process of your service provider. Your charge card is stored by Allego for as long as required to carry out the contract between Allego and your service provider and as long as necessary for Allego to comply with its legal and/or fiscal obligations. We also use information of the charging sessions other than the contract ID (for instance: time, duration, location of the charging session) to further improve the quality of our charging services.

Allego and your service provider have a shared responsibility and legal obligation to process personal data in accordance with the law. As such, Allego takes measures to ensure that details with regard to your charging sessions is not, in any way whatsoever, either directly or indirectly, disclosed to third parties (other than those contracted by Allego). If, in the context of our shared responsibility, you have any questions about how your service provider processes your personal data, please contact your service provider.

When applying for a charging station

If you apply for the installation of a charging station within the public space of a municipality1, we must process your personal data. The personal data we process includes your name, address, e-mail address and telephone number. Processing your personal data is necessary to obtain approval from your municipality for the installation of a charging station. All personal data used for the approval and installation process of a charging station in your municipality will not be used for any other purpose. Allego will keep a record of your application in order to contact you for technical matters such as service interruptions.

We also share your personal information with the municipality in which in the charging station will be commissioned. Allego and the municipality share, under prevailing regulatory requirements, equal responsibilities with regard to the protection of your personal data. This entails that Allego and the respective municipalities endeavour to refrain from disclosing to third parties, in any way whatsoever, either directly or indirectly, either orally or in writing, or in any other way, any confidential information regarding the applicant of a charging station. Allego and the municipality shall use your personal data exclusively for the performance of their agreements to install charging stations within the municipality. To avoid any ambiguity: information about the application or usage of a charging station that has been disclosed by Allego to the municipality cannot be used in any other way than for the stated intended purpose.

Allego and the respective municipalities are committed to the protection of your personal data. Personal data are generated and processed by virtue of carrying out agreements between Allego and the respective municipalities to install charging stations. We have a shared responsibility and are bound by the GDPR, as well as other relevant national data protection laws of EU member states and other relevant countries, to process personal data in full compliance with the law.
