PRIVACY POLICY

Zyflow Application

Effective Date: 15. 5. 2026
Version: 1.0

Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data HERKO d.o.o. collects when you use Zyflow, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Slovenian data protection law (ZVOP-2).


1. WHO WE ARE — DATA CONTROLLER

HERKO d.o.o.
Pševska cesta 10,
4000 Kranj
Republic of Slovenia

Tax number (Davčna številka): SI56613555
Registration number (Matična številka): 8830045000

Privacy contact: legal@zyflow.eu
General support: support@zyflow.eu

For questions about your data or to exercise your rights, contact us at the address above.


2. SCOPE OF THIS POLICY

This Privacy Policy applies to the Zyflow mobile application (iOS and Android) and the backend services that power it.

It does not apply to third-party websites or services linked from within the App.


3. WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY

We collect personal data only where we have a lawful basis to do so under GDPR Article 6. Below we describe each category, why we need it, and the legal basis that applies.

3.1 Account and Identity Data

What we collect: Email address; optional full name; optional phone number if you choose to add it to your profile.

How: When you create an account — via email, or through Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google.

Why: To create and manage your account and provide you with the Service.

Lawful basis: Performance of contract (Article 6(1)(b)).

3.2 Location Data

What we collect: Geographic coordinates associated with:

  • Routes you plan and save

  • Route files you import

  • Locations you bookmark

  • Reports of missing or incorrect Points of Interest you submit

Location data from active navigation is processed on your device and is not stored on our servers unless you explicitly save a route.

Why: To provide core navigation, routing, and discovery features.

Lawful basis: Performance of contract (Article 6(1)(b)).

Important: Saved routes represent a record of movement history. We treat this as sensitive data — your routes are private and accessible only to you. Location access requires your permission through your device's operating system, which you can revoke at any time. Revoking it will disable core app features.

3.3 Community Contributions (POI Reports)

What we collect: When you report whether a Point of Interest is present and working, we store your contribution linked to your account, along with any optional notes and a timestamp.

Visibility: These contributions are visible to other users of the Service as community signals. Please do not include personal information in your notes.

Why: To maintain the accuracy of our Points of Interest database for all users.

Lawful basis: Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)). Our legitimate interest is providing reliable, community-verified location data.

On account deletion: Your identity is removed from your contributions (anonymized), but the location data itself may be retained as part of the community dataset.

3.4 Missing Location Submissions

What we collect: If you report a charging station or other location that is missing from our database, we collect the location you reported, details you provided, your account identifier, your email address, and a timestamp.

Why: To investigate and potentially add the reported location to our database.

Lawful basis: Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)).

Visibility: Visible to HERKO d.o.o. staff only during review. Approved submissions become part of our shared database; your identity is not displayed publicly.

3.5 Device and Notification Data

What we collect: If you enable push notifications, we store a device-level push token that allows us to deliver notifications to your device.

Why: To send you relevant in-app notifications (e.g. route alerts).

Lawful basis: Consent (Article 6(1)(a)). You grant permission through your device's operating system notification prompt. You may withdraw this at any time in your device settings.

3.6 Analytics Data

What we collect: We use a third-party analytics service to understand how users interact with Zyflow. This involves collecting a pseudonymous identifier, your email address (to associate usage with your account), screens and features you interact with, and general device and app version information.

Detailed behavioral tracking and automatic event capture are disabled. Only key interaction events are recorded manually.

Why: To understand usage patterns and improve the Service.

Lawful basis: Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)).

Your right to object: You may object to analytics processing at any time by contacting us at legal@zyflow.eu.

3.7 Crash and Error Data

What we collect: We use a crash monitoring service that collects error reports when the App crashes or encounters a significant error. These reports may include your account identifier, technical information about the error, and device/OS details. This service is active in production only and processes a sample of sessions.

Why: To detect, diagnose, and fix bugs.

Lawful basis: Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)).

3.8 Email Communications

We use an email service provider for two categories of communications:

Transactional emails: Notifications necessary for the operation of the Service (e.g. updates on reports you have submitted). Lawful basis: legitimate interest / performance of contract.

Marketing communications: News about features and updates. We will only send marketing emails with your prior explicit consent. You may opt out at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting support@zyflow.eu.

3.9 Routing and Map Data Sent to Third Parties

When you plan a route or search for a location, certain data is transmitted to third-party services to fulfil your request:

  • Route calculation services receive the coordinates of your planned route (not your identity)

  • Location search services receive the text of your search query and a geographic region

  • Map tile services receive tile requests based on the area of the map you are viewing

  • Weather services receive an approximate location to return relevant weather data

All third parties receive your device's IP address as part of standard network communication. Where technically feasible, we proxy requests through our own servers to limit direct exposure of your IP to these services.

Lawful basis: Performance of contract (Article 6(1)(b)).


4. DATA WE DO NOT COLLECT

To be transparent about what Zyflow does not do:

  • We do not process payment information (the App is free)

  • We do not use advertising networks or sell your data to advertisers

  • We do not track your location continuously in the background

  • We do not collect health or biometric data


5. HOW WE SHARE YOUR DATA

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only as follows:

Service providers: We share data with third-party companies that process it on our behalf under written data processing agreements. These are listed in Section 6.

Community features: POI contribution data (presence/working status and notes) is visible to other authenticated users of the Service, as described in Section 3.3.

Legal requirements: We may disclose personal data if required by law, court order, or a competent authority. We will notify you where legally permitted.

Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may transfer as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

If you believe we have not handled your personal data correctly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country of residence or with the Slovenian authority:

Informacijski pooblaščenec (Information Commissioner of Slovenia) Zaloška cesta 59, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia Website: www.ip-rs.si Email: gp.ip@ip-rs.si Phone: +386 1 230 97 30

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach likely to result in high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the Information Commissioner as required by GDPR Articles 33 and 34.


12. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Zyflow is not intended for persons under the age of 16. This minimum age is aligned with the digital consent age under GDPR Article 8 as implemented in Slovenia.

If you believe a person under 16 has provided us with their data, please contact us at legal@zyflow.eu and we will promptly delete it.


13. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

The Zyflow mobile application does not use browser cookies. It uses your device's local storage to maintain your login session. This is a standard mobile application practice and is not accessible to other applications or websites.

Third-party services integrated in the App may use device-level identifiers for analytics or crash monitoring purposes. Please refer to the privacy policies of those services.

A separate Cookie Policy is available at https://www.zyflow.eu/cookie-policy and applies to any future Zyflow web presence.
