Privacy policy

Plain English, kept short: here's what EVolt.SG does — and doesn't do — with your data.

The website

EVolt.SG is a static site. There's no account to create and nothing to sign in to. We use Google Analytics for visit and product interaction statistics — which pages help, whether a search or filter is used, and whether someone follows an App Store or directions link. We don't send search text, charger IDs or precise location to Analytics. Charger availability and pricing come from LTA DataMall. Car park parking charges come from HDB Carpark Information on data.gov.sg, HDB's short-term parking charges and URA's Car Park List and Rates, used under the Singapore Open Data Licence version 1.0. EVolt.SG is an independent site and app: it is not a government service, does not represent any government entity, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by LTA, HDB or URA.

Ads on the website

The website carries Google AdSense ads — they're what pays for keeping the data flowing. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve those ads, and the ads you see may be based on your previous visits to EVolt.SG or to other websites. You can switch off personalised advertising at Google's Ads Settings, or opt out of a wider list of advertising vendors at aboutads.info.

Ads run on the website only. The iPhone and Android apps carry none.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland see a consent prompt before any advertising cookies are set, and can change or withdraw that choice at any time. Everywhere else — which is very nearly all of our visitors — this page is the notice, and the two opt-out links above are how you say no.

The EVolt.SG apps — iPhone and Android

The iPhone app is on the App Store; the Android app is built and follows right after. Both work the same way, and this section covers both. Your location stays on your phone — each app uses it to sort chargers by distance, and if you switch on a "when I'm nearby" alert for a favourite, your phone itself notices when you're close and shows the notification. Your location is never sent to us or anyone else.

Favourites live on your device. On iPhone they also sync between your devices through your personal iCloud, which we can't read; on Android they simply stay on the phone. Notifications are the one thing that needs our server: when you set a "Notify me" alert on a charger, turn on a favourite alert (last slot or price changes), or subscribe to the weekly digest, the app stores your device's push token — and for favourite alerts, which chargers you chose — solely to deliver those notifications. Slot-watch alerts expire on their own after 12 hours; everything else stays on only until you switch it off, and turning it off removes what we stored.

To understand which features are useful, the apps keep simple usage statistics through Google Analytics for Firebase — things like which screens get opened and which controls are used. Analytics assigns the app installation a random identifier and receives general app, device, and coarse-region information. We don't send your search text, charger IDs, or precise location, and we disable advertising identifiers and ad personalisation. No ads, no accounts, no advertising tracking.
