Privacy

Last updated 26 October 2026

ChargingSpots has no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. What you tell it stays on your phone.

What stays on your phone

• The charging networks you have an account with, your car's plugs, and whether you pay by contactless card.
• Your favourite chargers, and your "it worked / it didn't work" check-ins.
• The last route you planned.

None of this is sent to us or anyone else. Deleting the app deletes it.

Maps, place search and routes

To search for a place, plan a route or show the map, the app asks a map service. Your search text, the start and end of your route and, if you choose "My location", your location go to that service to answer the request. None of it is linked to you, and nothing is sent to us.

• iPhone: Apple Maps, for the map, place search and routes. Apple's handling of that data is described in Apple's privacy policy.
• Android: free services built on OpenStreetMap. Place search goes toPhoton, run by Komoot; routes toOSRM; and the map pictures come fromOpenFreeMap. Like any web request, each of these sees your internet address.

Your location

The app asks for your location only when you choose "My location" as the start of a route, and to show where you are on the map, and never in the background. If you start a route from your location, that starting point is saved on your phone as part of the last route, like any other route, and goes nowhere else.

Directions

When you tap Directions, the app opens Google Maps, Waze or Apple Maps with the charger's location as the destination (on Android, Google Maps or Waze, or Google Maps in your browser if you have neither). From there, that app's own privacy policy applies.

Charger information

The list of chargers comes with the app, from OpenStreetMap. Refreshing it asks OpenStreetMap's servers for the current list, which shares your internet address with them, as any web request does. Nothing about you is sent with it.

CarPlay and Android Auto

On CarPlay and Android Auto, the app shows the same route, chargers and favourites as your phone and sends nothing further.

Children

The app is not aimed at children and collects nothing from anyone.
