Before using our products and services, please read this privacy statement carefully and ensure that you fully understand its meaning.

1、Our Role

In accordance with data protection laws and regulations, we are the controller of your personal information. This means that we determine why this data is collected and how it is collected. It also means that we will be responsible for collecting this data, including subcontractors who collect your information on our behalf. We will work with other relatively independent organizations to carry out the actions related to collecting the information described in this statement.
 

2、Our Data Collection and Use

When you use our applications and products, we will collect information about you and your vehicle. In order to provide after-sales service, we will also collect this information from our authorized dealers. We only collect necessary, relevant, and appropriate information.
2.1 When you register and log in to our app, we will collect your account, password, and email address. We collect this information to help you complete the app’s account registration so that we can provide app services. If you do not provide this information, you may not be able to use our services properly. After logging in, you can also choose to upload a profile picture and a personalized signature, but refusing to provide them will not affect your normal use of the software.
 
2.2 When you bind our app to your electric motorcycle, we will collect your vehicle’s identification code to determine the correspondence between you and your vehicle, so that we can provide you with the correct vehicle-related services.
 
2.3 When you first start your electric motorcycle, we will start collecting data about your vehicle, including basic vehicle information that you can view on the app (such as battery level and dashboard information), as well as some additional technical information about the vehicle (such as internal battery information and MCU information). The purpose of collecting this vehicle information is to provide you with the correct vehicle and app services, as well as based on our legitimate interests in ensuring product safety and improvement. If you do not want us to collect usage and technical data related to your vehicle, you can contact us to disable the network connection. However, please note that if you choose to disable vehicle data collection, you will not be able to view vehicle status on the app, and we will not be able to know or notify you in a timely manner about issues or updates applicable to your vehicle. This may result in reduced vehicle functionality, severe damage or inability to operate the vehicle. The above-extended mode will increase the data transmission of the vehicle terminal SIM card, and you can switch back to the standard mode at any time. If you do not want to use the app to view vehicle-related information, you can unbind the app from the electric motorcycle, and we will stop collecting your relevant vehicle information. (This statement will be added to the app after the standard mode is opened in the future and the front-end statement will be adjusted as needed.)
 
2.4 When your vehicle is powered on, charging, or experiences certain faults, we will collect relevant important vehicle information, such as charging voltage, fault codes, etc., in order to timely understand the vehicle situation and provide you with the correct vehicle-related services.
 
2.5 When you use the APP’s historical track query and theft recovery function, we will collect the geographic location information of your vehicle in order to provide you with the requested services. The geographic location information of the vehicle belongs to a special type of personal information, which itself or in combination with other information may identify your religious beliefs, sexual orientation, etc. If you do not want to use this function anymore, you can turn off the collection of location information in the APP at any time. You can also delete the historical track saved in the APP at any time.

All data processing by Amap is based solely on this location information, and no other data about you or your mobile device is involved, and it complies with Amap’s privacy policy (https://lbs.amap.com/). The above maps are commonly used and meet the habits of most users. If these maps do not meet your requirements for navigation services, you can choose map software services that meet your requirements and turn off options related to collecting your personal information in the map navigation service. As mentioned in 2.5, vehicle location information is a special type of personal information. If you do not want Amap to collect your vehicle location information again, you can turn off the collection of location information in the APP at any time.
