1. WHO WE ARE
"Ultra Fast EV Charging Station" (the "App") is published by WarthogLab, an independent developer registered and resident in France ("WarthogLab," "we," "us," or "our"). For the purposes of the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"), WarthogLab is the data controller of the personal information processed through the App, except where this Privacy Policy indicates that a third party acts as a separate or independent controller.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains what information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, how long we keep it, and the rights you have. It applies exclusively to the App. Other applications published by WarthogLab are governed by their own privacy policies.

2. NOT AFFILIATED WITH TESLA
The App is an independent, third-party tool. WarthogLab is not affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected with Tesla, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. "Tesla", "Supercharger" and related names, marks and logos are trademarks of Tesla, Inc. They are used in the App and on this page solely for descriptive (nominative) reference to identify the publicly known Supercharger network. The App does not communicate with Tesla's servers, does not access your Tesla account, and does not control any Tesla vehicle or charging equipment.
3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
3.1 Information you provide voluntarily
We do not require you to create an account to use the App. We only receive information you choose to provide, for example when you contact us by email for support or feedback. In that case we receive your email address and the contents of your message.
3.2 Location information
With your permission (iOS "While Using the App"), the App accesses your device's precise location to display nearby stations, compute distance to stations and calculate driving routes between an origin and destination. Location processing happens on your device. Your precise GPS coordinates and routes are not transmitted to WarthogLab's servers and are not stored on our infrastructure. We do not track your location in the background and we do not build a location history about you. You can disable location access at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services; if you do, location-dependent features (nearest stations, journey planner) will not work.
3.3 Information collected automatically
The App and the third-party SDKs we integrate may collect:
- Device and technical data: device model, operating system version, language and region, anonymous device identifiers (such as Apple's Identifier for Vendors / IDFV), App version and build number.
- Usage data: screens viewed, features used, taps on certain in-app actions (for example, opening a navigation app, calculating a journey, adding a favorite, viewing the paywall), session duration, app opens, time zone.
- Diagnostic data: crash reports, performance traces, stack traces and related technical context.
- Subscription data: the App Store transaction identifier and the status of your purchase or free trial (active, lapsed, in trial). We do not receive or store your full payment-card details — payments are handled by Apple.
- Network metadata: IP address (collected by our third-party SDKs as part of normal network operation; used for security and approximate country detection).
3.4 What we do NOT collect
- We do not collect your name, email or contact details unless you contact us.
- We do not request access to your contacts, photos, microphone, camera, health data, motion data, calendar or HomeKit.
- We do not collect your Tesla account credentials, vehicle identification number (VIN), state of charge, or any data from your vehicle.
- We do not run third-party advertising SDKs and we do not show third-party banner or interstitial ads in the App.
- We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 (or under the relevant age of digital consent in your country — see Section 11).
4. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
- Provide the App's features — for example, displaying the map, computing the nearest stations, planning a journey, opening a navigation app of your choice (Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze or the Tesla app) with the destination pre-filled.
- Manage subscriptions and free trials — through Apple and our subscription manager (RevenueCat).
- Improve and debug the App — aggregated and pseudonymous usage analytics help us understand which features are used and which screens cause errors. Crash reports help us reproduce and fix bugs.
- Send transactional and product notifications — if you grant notification permission, we may send infrequent push notifications about new stations relevant to your country (typically every 30 days). You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings.
- Respond to you — if you write to us at contact@warthoglab.com.
- Comply with legal obligations — for example, tax, accounting and consumer-law record-keeping; or to respond to lawful requests by public authorities.
- Protect the App and our users — for example, detecting abuse, fraud, and security incidents.
We do not use your information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you, and we do not profile you for advertising.
5. LEGAL BASES FOR PROCESSING (EEA / UK / Switzerland)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR / UK GDPR:
- Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — to deliver the App's features that you have requested (e.g., map, journey planning, subscription).
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — to maintain, secure, and improve the App; to diagnose crashes; to prevent fraud and abuse. We have balanced these interests against your rights and freedoms.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — for access to your device location, for push notifications, and for any analytics that require consent under the ePrivacy Directive in your country. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing (see Section 9).
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) — for tax, accounting, consumer law and lawful disclosure obligations.
6. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES WE USE
We rely on a small set of third-party processors to operate the App. Each provider acts on our instructions as a data processor unless indicated otherwise. Their own privacy notices describe their processing in detail.
- Apple (App Store, push notifications, MapKit) — processes purchases, refunds, app distribution and notification delivery; provides the underlying map tiles. Apple acts as an independent controller for App Store transactions. Apple Privacy Policy.
- Google — Firebase Analytics & Firebase Crashlytics (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC) — aggregated and pseudonymous usage analytics and crash diagnostics. Firebase Privacy & Security.
- Bugsnag (SmartBear / Insight Partners portfolio) — crash and performance reporting, used to diagnose stability issues. Bugsnag Privacy Policy.
- RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.) — manages App Store subscription state, free-trial eligibility and entitlement validation. RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
We do not use third-party advertising networks, attribution SDKs, or social media tracking pixels in the App.
Note on Firebase Analytics — advertising features: Firebase Analytics may, depending on its default configuration, allow Google to use aggregated, pseudonymous data for ads-related signals. We do not run ads in the App and we do not use Firebase Audiences for advertising. If you wish to limit ad-related signals at the device level, iOS provides the Allow Apps to Request to Track and Limit Ad Tracking controls in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
7. SHARING AND DISCLOSURE
We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose information only:
- To the third-party processors listed in Section 6, strictly to provide the services described.
- To professional advisers (lawyers, accountants) under confidentiality, where strictly necessary.
- To public authorities, courts or law-enforcement bodies where required by valid legal process or to defend our legal rights.
- In connection with a corporate transaction (merger, acquisition, sale of assets), in which case the recipient will be bound by terms at least as protective as this Policy.
8. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
We are based in France (European Union). Several of our processors (notably Google, Bugsnag, RevenueCat and Apple) are headquartered in the United States and may process your information outside the EEA, UK or Switzerland. Where we transfer personal data outside these regions, we rely on legal mechanisms recognized by the European Commission and the UK ICO, including the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (and the UK Addendum) and, where applicable, certifications under the EU–US and UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Frameworks. You can request a copy of the relevant safeguards by writing to us.
9. YOUR RIGHTS
9.1 Rights for users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland (GDPR / UK GDPR)
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you and obtain a copy.
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Erase your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
- Restrict our processing of your personal data.
- Object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
- Data portability — receive your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In France, this is the CNIL; in the UK, the ICO; you may also contact the authority of the EU Member State where you live or work.
9.2 Rights for California residents (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of recipients.
- Delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to legal exceptions.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Limit the use of sensitive personal information. We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that would trigger this right (we do not infer characteristics about you).
- Non-discrimination for exercising your rights.
Categories of personal information collected in the past 12 months: identifiers (IDFV, IP address); internet or other electronic network activity (App usage, crash data); geolocation data (precise location, used on-device only); commercial information (subscription status). We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined in the CPRA.
You may submit a request via contact@warthoglab.com. We may need to verify your identity by asking for limited information to match against our records. You may also designate an authorized agent.
9.3 Rights for residents of other US states
If you are a resident of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Iowa, Tennessee, Delaware, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Indiana, Minnesota, Maryland, Kentucky, or any other US state with a comprehensive consumer privacy law in force, you may have rights similar to those described above, including the right to access, correct, delete and port your data, and to opt out of targeted advertising or profiling. To exercise these rights, write to contact@warthoglab.com. You also have the right to appeal a refusal of your request by replying to our response email.
9.4 Global Privacy Control (GPC)
The App does not run a web browser, so the GPC browser signal does not apply to in-App processing. We do not sell or share your personal information regardless.
9.5 How to exercise your rights
Send your request to contact@warthoglab.com. We will respond within the time limits set by applicable law (generally one month under the GDPR, 45 days under the CCPA/CPRA, extendable in limited cases). Exercising any right is free of charge unless your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
10. DATA RETENTION
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy:
- Crash and analytics data: retained by our processors in line with their default retention (typically 14 months for Firebase Analytics, 30 days to several months for Bugsnag).
- Subscription data: retained while your subscription is active and afterwards for the period required for tax and accounting (in France, up to 10 years).
- Support correspondence: retained for up to 3 years from our last interaction, then deleted or anonymized.
- Information stored on your device (favorites, filter preferences, app state): kept until you delete the App or clear the data from iOS Settings.
11. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in some EEA Member States, in line with each country's GDPR digital-consent age). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at contact@warthoglab.com and we will delete it promptly. The App is rated 4+ on the App Store, but it is intended for users old enough to drive or to assist with trip planning.
12. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
With your permission, the App may send push notifications announcing new Supercharger stations near your country. Notifications use Apple Push Notification service. We do not include personal data in notifications and we do not track whether you tapped them beyond aggregated counts. You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings > Notifications.
13. SECURITY
We use industry-standard administrative and technical safeguards to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. No system is perfectly secure. If we become aware of a personal data breach affecting you, we will notify the competent supervisory authority and you, where required by applicable law.
14. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND NAVIGATION
The App can launch third-party navigation apps (Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze) and the Tesla app, when installed on your device, with a destination pre-filled. The App may also include a link to a Tesla referral page (a public Tesla URL such as ts.la/…) that, if used by a new Tesla customer, may credit a referral benefit to the App's author. Once you leave the App, the privacy policy of the destination app or website applies. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the privacy practices of any third party.
15. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted in the App or on this page before they take effect. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
