When you register for and use the Porsche Taiwan Charging Service, personal data are collected, processed, and used, and may be transmitted to third parties as described below, in order to provide you with all services with regard to the Porsche Taiwan Charging Service and to fulfil our contractual obligations that exist in this context. We perform all of the data processing described in this section either - to the extent indicated - based on your consent or to fulfill our contract with you.

4.1 Registration process

To use the Porsche Taiwan Charging Service, registration on the Porsche infrastructure is required. Registration can take place in two ways, and you are free to choose the method of registration:

4.1.1 Invitation to register from authorized dealer

If you wish, your authorized dealer will enter the data you have communicated to the dealer for you via the dealer’s access to our systems. In this case, you will then receive, for example, a link sent by e-mail via which you are required to confirm your registration. Please note that the authorized dealers are independent companies, and we have no influence over them. A second feature will be used for additional verification. One example is a code sent via text message that you then enter in the Porsche Taiwan Charging Service.

4.1.2 Self-registration

In the event that registration has not taken place via an authorized dealer, you can register yourself and enter your data on your own. In selected countries, you can also add a vehicle and use additional digital services that require vehicle ownership. To do this, you will also have to upload a copy of an identification document and proof of ownership and – if you are not the owner of the vehicle – a power of attorney from the vehicle owner after entering your vehicle identification number. These documents will be reviewed based on our verification criteria. As proof of successful verification, we will also store the names, dates of birth, places of birth, addresses, and validity information of the documents shown in the respective identification documents and the vehicle identification numbers, owner names, and addresses shown in the ownership documentation. After the verification process is complete, the copies of the documents will be deleted. Following successful verification, you will receive, for example, a link sent by e-mail via which you are required to confirm your registration. A second feature will be used for additional verification. One example is a code sent via text message that you then enter in the Porsche Taiwan Charging Service.

(a) Required information during registration

When you register on the Porsche Taiwan Charging Service, you will be required – in case of self-registration – to enter your e-mail address and/or Porsche ID, a password, your name and any titles and suffixes, contact and address information, mobile phone number, and, where applicable, the language in which you wish to communicate with us or – in case of registration through an authorized dealer – to confirm this information in the Porsche Taiwan Charging Service. This information is necessary in order to set up and manage a user account for you so that you can use the full range of services and functions offered by the Porsche Taiwan Charging Service. In selected countries, you can also use our offerings as a potential customer. In this case, you are only required to state your name, e-mail address, and a password. We need this information – and, where applicable, further information – not least in order to be able to respond to requests, questions, and criticism.

We also store the time of your last login.

During registration, we will perform a plausibility check of your name and address information.

(b) Voluntary information during registration

Within the scope of your registration, you will also have the opportunity to enter additional voluntary information, such as additional name information (e.g. academic titles, etc.), company contact information, date of birth, additional phone numbers, credit card information (this information is stored exclusively by the payment service provider), and your vehicle license plate number and a personal vehicle name. You can also provide information on your interests and preferences and your desired contact channels. Please note that this information is not required in order to register, and that it is entirely up to you to decide whether you wish to communicate this information to us.

4.1.3 Porsche Taiwan Charging Service: data processing after registration

If you have registered for a user account, we will exchange basic information about your user account and your vehicles with responsible Porsche dealers in order to be able to serve you via our dealer organisation. In addition to the vehicle identification number, we transfer your E-mail address and/or Porsche ID, the technical or sales availability of services and product offers for your user account or vehicle, as well as relevant events as part of the creation, modification or deletion of your user account, the linking of vehicles, the selection of traders, or the activation or deactivation of services.

4.1.4 Deletion of your user account

If you delete your user account, your Porsche Taiwan Charging Service profile will also be deleted. As far as data must be stored for legal reasons, these are blocked (so-called processing limitation). The functionality of the services may be limited or eliminated. The Porsche Taiwan Charging Service will then no longer be available to you. If, on the basis of your consent, data has been exchanged with a dealer of your choice, we inform the dealer about the deletion of your user account.
