Privacy Policy

We keep this simple: EV Explorer PH only collects data when you actively choose to give it to us — like signing up for our newsletter. We don't sell your information. We don't buy it. We don't play games with it.

SECTION 01

WHO WE ARE

EV Explorer PH (accessible at evexplorerph.com) is an independent, Philippine-focused electric vehicle information platform. We produce editorial content, guide, news, and model information about electric mobility that consists of hybrid vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) for Filipino audiences.

For the purpose of this Privacy Policy, "we", "us", and "our" refers to EV Explorer PH. "You" refers to any person who visits our website or engages with our content.

SECTION 02

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We only collect information that you voluntarily provide to us. Currently, this is limited to:

➜ Newsletter sign-up information-when you choose to subscribe to our email newsletter, we collect your email address and, if you provided, your name. This is entirely optional and consensual.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as your home address, phone number, financial details, government ID numbers, or health information.

We may collect standard, anonymized technical data through analytics tools (see Section 06), but this data does not identify you personally.

SECTION 03

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address to:

➜ Send you our newsletter and EV updates as agreed when you signed up.
➜ Notify you of new guides, articles, or important EV news relevant to the Philippines.
➜ Occasionally share platform announcement or content updates.

We will only contact you for purposes consistent with what you signed up for. We will not use your email for anything unrelated to EV Explorer PH content.

SECTION 04

WHAT WE DO NOT DO

We believe in being explicit about what we will never do with your information:

➜ We do not sell your personal information to any third party.
➜ We do not share your email or personal data with advertisers or marketers.
➜ We do not use your data for targeted advertising.
➜ We do not send unsolicited commercial messages unrelated to EV Explorer PH.
➜ We do not buy or obtain personal data from third-party sources.

SECTION 05

NEWSLETTER & EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS

Subscribing to our newsletter is entirely voluntary. By submitting your email address through our newsletter sign-up form, you are giving us your consent to send you email communications from EV Explorer PH.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link included in every email we send, or by contacting us directly at the email address listed in SECTION 11.

Upon unsubscribing, we will remove your email address from our active mailing list. We may retain a record of your address for a short period solely to honor your opt-our request and prevent accidental re-enrollment.

SECTION 06

COOKIES & ANALYTICS

Like most websites, EV Explorer PH may use cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site. This data is anonymized and aggregated - it tells us things like which pages are popular and how users navigate the site, but it does not identify you personally.

If we use a third-party analytics service (such as Google Analytics), that service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review it separately.

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the website.

SECTION 07

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

EV Explorer PH is built on Hostinger's website platform and uses third-party tools to deliver newsletters. These services have their own privacy policies and security standards. By using EV Explorer PH, you acknowledge that your data may be processed through these platforms as necessary to delivery our services.

Our site may link to third-party websites (news, sources, government agencies, brands). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites and encourage you to read their policies before sharing any personal information with them.

SECTION 08

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to:

➜ Access the personal information we hold about you.
➜ Correct any inaccurate information.
➜ Request deletion of your personal data at any time.
➜ Withdraw consent for newsletter communications at any time.
➜ Ask questions about how your data is used.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address listed in SECTION 11. We will respond to your request as promptly as possible.

EV Explorer PH complies with the Republic Act No. 10173 (Data Privacy Act of 2012) of the Philippines and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.

SECTION 09

DATA RETENTION

We retain your email address and newsletter subscription information for as long as you are an active subscriber. Once you unsubscribe, we will remove your data from our active list within a reasonable period, retaining minimal records only as needed to honor opt-out requests and comply with our legal obligations.

SECTION 10

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our website or legal obligations change. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

If we make significant changes that affect how we handle your personal data, we will notify newsletter subscribers by email.
