Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Crown Group (Pvt) Ltd (“Charge Pro”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, shares and protects your personal information when you use the Charge Pro mobile apps for Android and iOS and the web app at app.chargepro.io (together, the “Service”).
By using the Service you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1.Information we collect
Information you give us
- Account details: your mobile phone number, which is how you sign in, and your name.
- Referral code: if you enter one when signing up.
- RFID cards: the card numbers you add to your account and the usage policies you set for them.
- Charging networks: networks you create or join, members you invite, and the policies you set.
- Support messages: what you send us when you contact support, for example through WhatsApp.
Information collected when you use the Service
- Charging activity: the stations, chargers and connectors you use, when each session starts and stops, energy delivered, duration, rate mode, cost and session status.
- Location: your device location while the app is open, if you allow it. We use it to show stations near you and their distance. We do not collect location in the background.
- Device information: a device identifier, a push notification token, device model, operating system and app version.
- Technical data: information our servers log when the app talks to them, such as IP address, request times and error details.
Sign-in codes
We send a one-time code to your phone by SMS to verify your number. On Android, the app can read that one message automatically to fill in the code for you. It cannot read any of your other messages.
2.How we use your information
- To create and secure your account and verify your phone number.
- To show charging stations on the map, their availability and prices.
- To start, monitor and stop charging sessions, and to show your session history and costs.
- To manage RFID cards and charging networks you set up.
- To send you notifications about your sessions and account, if you allow notifications.
- To provide support and respond to your requests.
- To keep the Service safe, prevent fraud and misuse, and fix problems.

- To meet legal, accounting and regulatory obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

5.How long we keep it
We keep your account information for as long as your account is open. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymise your personal information.
We may keep some records for longer where the law requires it or for legitimate business needs, such as charging and billing records for tax and accounting, or information needed to resolve a dispute or prevent fraud.
6.Security
We protect your information with encrypted connections (HTTPS), access tokens that expire, and restricted access on our servers. No system is completely secure, so please keep your phone and sign-in codes private and tell us straight away if you think your account has been misused.
7.Your choices and rights
- See and update your details: you can change your name in the app under Profile → Edit Profile.
- Get a copy: you can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct or delete: you can ask us to correct wrong information, or delete your account (see below).
- Notifications and permissions: you can turn these off in your device settings.
To make a request, contact us using the details in section 10. We may need to confirm your identity first.
8.Deleting your account
In the app: open Profile → Settings → Delete Account and confirm. We delete your account and sign you out.
Without the app: email info@crowngroup.com.pk with the subject “Delete my account” and include the phone number registered to your account. We will verify that the number is yours and confirm when the deletion is complete.
What we delete: your profile (name and phone number), device identifiers and notification tokens, RFID cards and their policies, and your membership in charging networks.
What we may keep: records of completed charging sessions and payments, where required for tax, accounting or legal purposes. These are no longer linked to an active account.
Deleting your account cannot be undone. If you sign up again with the same number, you will start with a new, empty account.

We may update this policy from time to time. For significant changes we will let you know in the app or by notification before they take effect.
