Privacy Policy
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally identifiable information’ (“PII”) is being used online. PII, as used in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, EV Safe Charge LLC (“EV Safe Charge”) 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. EV Safe Charge’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how EV Safe Charge’s visitors use its website. From time to time, EV Safe Charge may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
EV Safe Charge also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on EVSafeCharge.com blogs/sites. EV Safe Charge only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our blog, website or app?
When contacting us or asking for a quote or signing-up for a newsletter on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, information related to your EV charger installation or other details to help you with your experience.
While we do not require this information to browse the site, certain visitors to EV Safe Charge’s websites choose to interact with EV Safe Charge in ways that require EV Safe Charge to gather PII. The amount and type of information that EV Safe Charge gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at EVSafeCharge.com to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with EV Safe Charge are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the PII required to process those transactions. In each case, EV Safe Charge collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with EV Safe Charge. EV Safe Charge does not disclose PII other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply PII, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Do we use ‘cookies’?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services.

We use cookies to:
- Understand and save user’s preferences for future visits.
- May use cookies to keep track of advertisements.
- Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting PII from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/
According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously.
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page or as a minimum on the first significant page after entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word ‘Privacy’ and can be easily be found on the page specified above.
Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes:
- On our Privacy Policy Page
Users are able to change their personal information:
- By emailing us

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
It’s also important to note that we may allow third-party behavioral tracking.
COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
We specifically do not market to children under 13.
