Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

QuietFleet (the "Site") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and share your information when you use our tools and content. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use our EV calculators, finder, or comparison tools.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate and improve the Site:

• Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, time spent — collected anonymously via Google Analytics.
• Device & Browser Data: IP address (anonymised), browser type, operating system, screen resolution — standard web analytics data.
• Cookie Data: See Section 3 below for details on cookies we use.
• Affiliate Referral Data: When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may place a cookie to attribute the sale — see Section 4.

We do not collect: names, email addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers, payment information, or any personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., via email inquiry).

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use the following categories of cookies:

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie consent banner. Choosing "Essential Only" will disable analytics and advertising cookies while keeping the site fully functional.

You may also manage cookies through your browser settings. Instructions are available at aboutcookies.org.

4. Google AdSense & Advertising

QuietFleet uses Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.

When you choose "Essential Only" or disable advertising in our cookie banner, Google AdSense will serve non-personalised ads (contextual ads based on page content, not user behaviour). This is compliant with GDPR requirements for valid consent.

Google's advertising privacy practices are detailed in How Google Uses Data When You Use Our Partners' Sites.

5. Affiliate Links Disclosure

QuietFleet participates in affiliate marketing programs including Amazon Associates (Amazon Services LLC Associates Program), EV Bandit, and Awin. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase within a specific time window, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

These affiliate partners use cookies to attribute the sale back to us. We do not receive any personally identifiable information about you from these transactions — only anonymised commission data.
