Privacy Policy
Who we are
EV Signal is a practical EV intelligence site for buyers and owners. This policy explains how we handle information when you browse the site, subscribe to the newsletter, sign in, or interact with advertising.
What we collect
Depending on how you use EV Signal, we may collect:
- Account information – name, email address, and profile image provided by sign-in providers such as Google or Facebook.
- Newsletter details – your email address and subscription preferences when you join the newsletter.
- Usage data – pages viewed, device and browser type, referrer, approximate location, and similar diagnostic data used to understand site performance and content interest.
- Technical and security data – IP address, request logs, and abuse-prevention signals captured by our hosting, authentication, and security providers.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Authenticate you and manage your account.
- Send the newsletter and other communications you request.
- Improve article quality, site performance, and editorial coverage.
- Protect the service from abuse, spam, fraud, or security issues.

Advertising and Google AdSense
EV Signal may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to help measure ad performance, limit repeated ads, and show more relevant advertising.
We currently ask for your ads preference through our on-site banner. If you decline, we do not request display ads from that browser. If you accept, Google may process limited data according to its own policies and applicable law.
You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember basic preferences such as theme or ad choice, and measure aggregate usage. You can usually control or delete cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work correctly without them.
For more on how EV Signal handles sourcing, review, and AI-assisted drafting, see our Editorial Standards.
When we share data
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with:
- Service providers who power infrastructure such as hosting, databases, email delivery, analytics, and advertising.
- Sign-in providers to let you access your account using existing credentials, subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
- Legal or safety needs if we reasonably believe disclosure is required to comply with law or to protect EV Signal, our users, or the public.
Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described above, or as required by law. If you delete your account or unsubscribe from the newsletter, we remove or anonymize related data within a reasonable time, subject to legal retention requirements.
Your choices
- You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in each email.
- You can sign out or manage your account through your profile settings.
- You can accept or decline ad requests from the on-site ads banner and change browser cookie settings at any time.
- You can request access, correction, or deletion of personal data where applicable law provides those rights.
Children's privacy
EV Signal is designed for adults and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date below and, when changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to let you know.
