Privacy Policy

Last updated 14 October 2026

Next in Charge (the iPhone and CarPlay app, and the website nextincharge.app) is made by Oddvolt AB, Sweden. This policy explains what the app does with your data. The short version: it uses your location to find chargers, and nothing is stored or shared.

Your location

To show the chargers near you, and the ones coming up on the road you're driving, the app sends your current position, direction and speed to our server at nextincharge.app. The server uses it to answer that request and then forgets it:

Positions are not saved, not written to logs, and not linked to you, your device or an account. There are no accounts.
Positions are never sold or shared, and not used for advertising or tracking.
While you drive, the app can keep using your location with the screen off or in CarPlay, so the chargers ahead stay up to date. It stops when you're parked and the app isn't on screen.

You can turn location off at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services. The charger map still works without it.

Other data

Filters (minimum power, networks) are stored only on your device.
No analytics, no ads, no third-party tracking are built into the app.
Like any web server, ours briefly handles your IP address to answer requests. Requests to the map's data endpoints aren't logged; ordinary page visits to the website may appear in standard server logs, kept for at most 14 days for security and troubleshooting.
The map is drawn by Apple Maps in the app (Apple's own privacy policy applies), and by OpenFreeMap on the website. When you choose to navigate, the destination is handed to Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze, whose own policies apply.

Charger data

Charging stations come from NOBIL by Enova (CC BY 4.0) and roads from OpenStreetMap contributors. No personal data is involved.

Your rights

Since we don't store personal data about you, there is normally nothing to access or delete. If you have questions or requests under the GDPR, contact us and we'll answer within 30 days. You can also complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).
