Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2025

1. Introduction & Data Controller

PEVDeals ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard data when you use our platform at pevdeals.com — a deals aggregator for electric personal vehicles.

The data controller responsible for your personal data is PEVDeals, operating within the European Union. For all data-related enquiries, contact us at info@pevdeals.com.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate the platform:

Email address — only if you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter.
Preferences — region and language settings stored in your browser's local storage (not transmitted to our servers).
Server logs — standard web server logs including IP address, browser type, referring URL, and page requests. These are retained for security and operational purposes only.

We do not use analytics tools, tracking pixels, or behavioural profiling. We do not collect names, payment information, or account credentials.

3. Newsletter Subscription

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address with your explicit consent. We use it solely to send deal alerts and promotional emails about electric vehicle offers.

Legal basis (EU/UK): Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).
Unsubscribe: Every email contains an unsubscribe link. You may also unsubscribe at any time by emailing info@pevdeals.com.
CAN-SPAM (USA): We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. Each commercial email includes a clear unsubscribe mechanism and our contact address.
Data processor: We use a third-party email service provider to send newsletters. Your email address is shared with that provider solely for this purpose under a data processing agreement.

4. Affiliate Links & Partner Data

PEVDeals contains affiliate links to third-party retailers. When you click these links, you are redirected to external websites. Those retailers may collect data about your visit in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not receive personally identifiable information about you from affiliate clicks — we may receive aggregate performance data (e.g. total clicks, conversion counts) from affiliate networks.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external retailers. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any retailer you visit.

5. Local Storage

We use browser local storage to remember your region and language preferences. No tracking or analytics data is stored. For full details, see our Cookie & Storage Policy.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Data may be shared only in the following limited circumstances:

Email service provider — your email address, if subscribed, is processed by our newsletter platform under a data processing agreement.
Legal obligation — if required by law, court order, or regulatory authority.
Business transfer — in the event of a merger or acquisition, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same privacy protections.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary:

Newsletter emails — retained until you unsubscribe, after which they are deleted within 30 days.
Server logs — retained for up to 90 days for security purposes.
Local storage data — stored on your device until you clear it; never transmitted to us.
