For example, Mogile uses Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and Google Cloud, all recognized leaders in secure data, for hosting of the Services and related data, and storage of User data including Personal Information.

All information, including Personal Information, is transferred with encryption using Transport Layer Security (“TLS”), a robust security standard for Internet data transfer and transactions. You can use your browser to check the valid TLS security certificate of the Services.

Transfer of Personal Information to Third-Party Services and Certain Third Parties

In addition to the Email Service Providers and Third-Party Payment Processors described in detail in the next sections of this Policy, Mogile uses certain “Third-Party Services” in order to augment the functionalities of the Services. When you submit Personal Information to us for the use of these functionalities you acknowledge and agree to the transfer of Personal Information to these Third-Party Services. The Third-Party Services used and the information sent to them and the purposes for their use are:

  • As described in the Terms of Use, Mogile uses certain Third-Party Delivery Services (e.g. Canada Post, or other delivery and/or fulfilment service providers) to deliver purchased Product(s). Your Delivery Information is transferred to these Third-Party Delivery Services, who only use this Delivery Information in order to facilitate the delivery of your purchased Product(s).
  • Mogile uses Google Maps and other mapping and address services (specifically TomTom and mapbox ) to help pinpoint your address when you have made a Purchase, for the trip planner function, and for the Charging Station map, but no Personal Information is sent to these Third-Party Services, with the exception of your location, to the extent this is considered Personal Information.

In addition to these Third-Party Services, Mogile transfers some Personal Information to certain business partners and other parties as described in this paragraph, and by using the functions of the Services that generate this information you consent to this transfer. If you choose to use the function of the Services that finds electricians / installers near you to get a quote, your Contact Information will be transferred to the electricians / installers you have selected so that they can contact you and proceed with giving you your quote. We also may transfer photos or other information to the electricians / installers, and to the extent that any of this includes Personal Information you consent to this transfer as well. These third parties are under contractual or legal obligations to only use your Personal Information for these stated purposes. If you are using the Passport function that is sponsored by a “Third-Party Sponsor” (such as an automobile manufacturer or power utility), some Personal Information may be transferred to the Third-Party Sponsor, but this will be communicated to you when you participate in such a program and / or redeem an offer from the Third-Party Sponsor. If we run contests in conjunction with third parties, we will share your Contest Information with such third-party partners, but they will only use it for the purposes discussed further up in this Policy.

Secured Payments

Mogile currently uses the “Third-Party Payment Processors Shopify Payments for processing of online secured payments for purchases of Products, and Stripe for processing of payments made to add funds to your Passport Account. When you make a payment through the Services, your Billing Information is transferred securely via TLS from the Services to the applicable Third-Party Payment Processor. No Billing Information is ever stored on servers controlled by Mogile. The Third-Party Payment Processors have our permission to store, on behalf of Mogile, the data pertaining to the executed transactions by Users (including all Billing Information) with the goal of ensuring a secure method of payment and proof of purchase archive, allowing for the protection of Users, and for follow-up as needed.

If you use PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay to pay for your purchase of Products, no Billing Information is collected or seen by Mogile.
