Berglistrasse 41 · 9320 Arbon · Switzerland

Purpose

Find charging stations in Switzerland

HelvPlug finds suitable stations based on a search centre, selected radius and optionally your vehicle. Station and vehicle data is included in the app. It does not display live availability or prices.

Location

Only with your permission

After an explanation, the app requests location access while in use. Your location is used for local searching and is not sent to Iron Tern. You can revoke access in iOS Settings or choose a place or map position manually.

Settings and favourites

Stored locally on your device

Your vehicle profile, favourites, charging mode, search radius, onboarding status and manually selected search centre are stored locally. Iron Tern has no server for these records and cannot access your local app data.

Apple services

Maps, place search and navigation

Apple Maps or MapKit may process your search text, map area or coordinates when you use maps, place search or navigation. Apple's privacy notices apply. These features may require an internet connection.

Sharing

Only when you choose

Sharing a station opens the iOS share sheet. The station name and an Apple Maps link containing coordinates are passed to the app you choose, whose privacy terms apply. HelvPlug does not keep a share history or record the recipient app.

Retention and deletion

You control your data

Local settings and favourites remain until you change or delete them. Deleting the app and its data removes its local data. Device backups may contain app data and must be managed separately with the backup provider.

Advertising and tracking

No account, advertising or tracking

The app uses no first-party analytics, advertising or tracking services and no third-party SDKs. Apple may process data for its system services and the App Store under its own terms.

Contact and data rights

Contact Iron Tern directly

For access, correction or deletion requests, contact the controller listed above. Iron Tern cannot access local app data. If you contact us, we process your message and contact details to respond to your request.

External notices

Separate privacy notices apply to visits to this website and to Apple services.
