It is All Things EV’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
This privacy policy, which we adapted from a policy originally provided by Automattic (WordPress.com), describes how we treat the information we collect when you visit and use our websites. Please read this very carefully.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, All Things EV, using the URL https://allthingsev.net/, collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. All Things EV’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use its website. From time to time, we may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g. by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
All Things EV also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The website does not use such information to identify its visitors, and does not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to All Things EV’s websites choose to interact with All Things EV in ways that require All Things EV to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that All Things EV gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for All Things EV to provide a name, username and email address. In each case, All Things EV collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with All Things EV. All Things EV does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
All Things EV may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, All Things EV may monitor the most popular collections on All Things EV. All Things EV may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, All Things EV does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
All Things EV discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on All Things EV’s behalf or to provide services available at All Things EV’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using All Things EV’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. In addition, in some cases we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if All Things EV or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that All Things EV goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquiror of All Things EV may continue to use your personal and non-personal information only as set forth in this policy. Otherwise, All Things EV will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.
Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, All Things EV discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only when required to do so by law, or when All Things EV believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of All Things EV, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a All Things EV website and have supplied your email address, All Things EV may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with All Things EV and its products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. All Things EV takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
You should also be aware that if you submit information to “chat rooms,” “forums” or “message boards” such information becomes public information, meaning that you lose any privacy rights you might have with regards to that information. Such disclosures may also increase your chances of receiving unwanted communications.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. All Things EV uses cookies to help All Things EV identify and track visitors, their usage of All Things EV websites, and their website access preferences. All Things EV visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using All Things EV’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of All Things EV’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Ads appearing on any All Things EV websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This privacy policy covers the use of cookies by All Things EV and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Links to Third Party Sites
This privacy policy only applies to information collected by All Things EV. This privacy policy does not apply to the practices of companies that All Things EV does not own or control, or employees that All Things EV does not manage. A All Things EV website may contain links to third party websites. Any information you provide to, or that is collected by, third-party sites may be subject to the privacy policies of those sites, if any. We encourage you to read such privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. It is the sole responsibility of such third parties to adhere to any applicable restrictions on the disclosure of your personally-identifying information, and All Things EV and its affiliates shall not be liable for wrongful use or disclosure of your personally-identifying information by any third party.
Security
All non-personally-identifying information, potentially personally-identifying and personally identifying-information described above is stored on restricted database servers.
Choice/Opt-out
If we ever send you information by email concerning new products, services or information that you did not expressly request, we will provide you with an email address by which you may request no further notices.
Address Book Data
Any external address book data (email contacts, etc.) that a user voluntarily gives All Things EV access to will only be used for the described feature (looking up friends, etc.), and will not be stored or re-purposed.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, All Things EV may change its privacy policy from time to time, and in All Things EV’s sole discretion. All Things EV encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its privacy policy.
