Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2025

Battery Permit Guide ("we," "our," or "the site") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

If you contact us via email, we receive your email address and the content of your message. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry and do not add you to any mailing lists without your explicit consent.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, Battery Permit Guide automatically collects certain information when you visit:

  • Log data: Your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time of visit. This data is used for security and aggregate traffic analysis.
  • Cookies: Small text files stored on your device. We use cookies for analytics (see below) and to enable certain site features. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics collects anonymized data about page views, session duration, and user behavior. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We also use Microsoft Clarity to analyze user interaction with our tools and pages through session recordings and heatmaps. Clarity data is anonymized and does not include personally identifiable information.

Advertising

Battery Permit Guide displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.

We do not sell your personal information to advertisers or third parties. Advertisers do not have access to information that identifies you personally.

How We Use Your Information

  • To operate and improve the site
  • To respond to your messages and inquiries
  • To understand how visitors use our content and tools
  • To display relevant advertising that supports the site financially

Data Retention

Contact emails are retained for up to 24 months for reference purposes. Analytics data is retained according to the default retention settings of Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. We do not retain personally identifiable information beyond what is needed to respond to your inquiry.

Third-Party Links

Our site links to external resources including government websites, utility portals, and other informational resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting any personal information to them.

Children's Privacy

Battery Permit Guide is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at info@batterypermitguide.com and we will delete it promptly.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at info@batterypermitguide.com. We will respond within 30 days.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
