Privacy Policy

Our commitment to privacy

This Powermat Technologies Ltd. Privacy Policy (“Policy”) sets forth the information privacy practices of Powermat Technologies Ltd. and its affiliates (including its wholly, majority and minority owned subsidiaries) (collectively, “Powermat” “we” or “us”) in connection with your use of the Powermat mobile application (the “Application”), any Powermat Charging Spot (“Powermat Charging Spot”, “Charging Spot” or “Powermat Spot”), all associated services, including our website at https://powermat.com (and any other website this Policy is found on) (the “Website(s)”) and any other services that are governed by this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).

Powermat respects your privacy and is committed to ensuring that your information is protected. This Privacy Policy discloses the information we gather through the Services, the ways we process, share and secure such information and what your choices are regarding that information. It also separately discloses how we gather, process, share and secure information collected through the Website.
Except where otherwise expressly indicated herein or in the Application, this Policy applies only to information collected through the Services and not to information collected outside of the Services.
Anyone who visits, browses, downloads, or otherwise uses the Services (collectively, “you” or “user”) is subject to this Policy. Before submitting any information in connection with your use of the Services, please read this Policy. By using the Services, including the submission of any personal information, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Policy and consent to having your data transferred to and/or processed in the United States and other countries where Powermat has facilities. If you do not agree to this Policy, you are not permitted to use the Services.

The information we collect

The Services provide tools that permit users to wirelessly charge supported mobile devices in various public spaces and locations that have Powermat Spots. We collect the following four categories of information from you: (A) Personally Identifiable Information; (B) Non-Personal Information; and (C) Passive Information (D) location data. All four of these categories are collectively referred to as “Information” in this Policy.

It is important to note we collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) only if you select to sign in with your personal details.

A. Personally Identifiable Information Collected from Individuals

We may receive and store any information you enter through the Services that would allow us to identify you personally or contact you or identify other individuals. This information is referred to as Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). The PII you provide to us only will be used by Powermat in accordance with this Policy.
Personal Identifiable information we may collect from you includes:

  • Your email address
  • Any PII you provide about yourself or others when you send us an e-mail, contact support or otherwise communicate with us.
  • Information related or connected to a social media account that you use to sign up or log in to the Services, or when you associate that account with our Services. For instance, when you associate your Facebook account with our Services, we may receive your public profile (name, profile picture, age range, gender, language, country and other public information), your friend list and your email address. If you sign up, log in with or associate other social media accounts with our Services, such as Twitter, Google+ or Tumblr, we may obtain similar information from those platforms.
  • Other Information you may provide to us, such as to receive free services, enter a sweepstakes or contest, or make inquiries to us.

Powermat does not collect, store or otherwise maintain financial information such as credit card, bank account or similar other financial information.

All Personally Identifiable Information (PII) collected by Powermat mobile application is stored in: (A) Amazon Web Server located in Virginia, USA.

All Personally Identifiable Information (PII) collected Powermat Website(s) is stored in: (A) Microsoft 365. (B) Salesforce.

B. Non-Personal Information

From time to time, we may ask you to provide us with or permit us to collect non-personal information, which is data that alone is not intended to allow us to identify you personally, such as just your location information. This non-personal information may include precise GPS location and BLE / iBeacon micro-location if you choose to permit the Services to collect this information, or less specific location information, such as the city, state and country in which you are located when you download the Application. Sometimes, Powermat will aggregate and/or anonymize PII so that it becomes non-personal information and is not intended to be used to personally identify you.

C. Passive Information Gathered Electronically

We and our third party partners, such as the operators of Charging Spots or third party vendors that provide analytic services to us (collectively, our “Partners”) may automatically collect certain types of passive information when you use the Services, including the receivers that must be attached to your device to permit wireless charging (the “Receivers”). For instance, we may through your device and/or the Application (including through your use of the Charging Spots), collect identifiers such as an IDFA (for iOS) or AAID (for Android), or your device hardware model, operating system version, or your network provider. We (or our Partners) may also collect service usage information, frequency of users of the Service, pages, forms or screens visited, status of a charging session, and similar data that is associated with your mobile device, your Receiver, or your use of a Charging Spot. This data is used for purposes of providing services to you, analyzing and improving our service and providing diagnostics and support functions, and may also be used in the aggregate as a statistical measure. This information can be used to identify a device that is using the Services and information concerning a session in which you are charging your device, such as the device that is being charged, the start and stop times for charging, the location where such charging is taking place, and the history of purchases made through the Services.

D. Device Location Information

You can use your wireless device to obtain the Application for free through third party marketplaces, such as the Apple iTunes store or Google Play store. The Application, as well as the operating system for your mobile device (Apple’s iOS or Android) may provide additional functionality by using a variety of device location tools. These include: (i) the precise location of your wireless device using the device GPS functionality or BLE/iBeacon micro location services; (ii) the precise location of a Charging Spot that you are using to charge your device; (iii) broader location information, such as the city, state and/or country where you were located when you download the Application; (iv) your device identifier, IP address, or operating system; and (v) usage information. For instance, if you desire, the Services may use your location information to help you find locations of Charging Spots so that you may charge your device. You will be (or have been) notified of this location functionality upon installation; if at any time you no longer wish to have this functionality enabled, your sole choice (unless we provide another option, at our discretion) is to uninstall or disable the Application on your device. You also may be able to control location settings through your device settings on your mobile device operating system (e.g. iOS).

Please note that our Partners, who operate Charging Spots or the premises on which the Charging Spots are located, are unaffiliated with Powermat, and may have their own privacy policies and terms of use, which you may be required to agree to before using a Charging Spot or which may govern their use of information that is collected from when using the Services. In any case Powermat does not transmit PII to the Charging Spots’ operators.

  • To allow you to use the Services and to administer your account.

The privacy and confidentiality of your Information is important to Powermat. We only share your Information that is not intended to identify you personally. Information is shared with third parties under the following circumstances:

Powermat Partners. In order to provide you access to Charging Spots and to offers and services that we and/or our Partner think you will find valuable, we may share any information collected through the Services with our Partners who operate the premises where Charging Spots are located.

Personal Information is aggregated in a way that is intended not to allow these third parties to identify your PII when you are using a Charging Spot.

In addition, non-precise information about your device’s location based on information such as an IP address may be shared with any partner.
