Who we are
VoltRated ("we", "us") operates the website at voltrated.com, an independent, curation-based resource for rechargeable batteries and chargers. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at hello@voltrated.com.
Information we collect
We aim to collect as little as possible. Depending on how you use the site, this may include:
- Information you give us - for example, your email address and message when you contact us. We use it only to respond and, if relevant, follow up.
- Automatically collected usage data - such as your approximate location (from IP), browser and device type, pages viewed, and referring site. This is standard web-analytics data used to understand what content is helpful and to keep the site working.
- Cookies and similar technologies - small files used for analytics and advertising, described below.
Cookies, analytics, and advertising
We may use third-party services that set cookies or collect usage data on our behalf:
- Analytics - to measure traffic and improve the site (for example, a privacy-conscious or Google Analytics-style service).
- Advertising - we may display ads served by third-party ad networks (for example, Google AdSense). These networks may use cookies to show more relevant ads and measure performance. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
You can opt out of personalised advertising through your ad settings with the relevant provider (for example, Google's Ads Settings) and through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance or Your Online Choices. You can also control cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
Affiliate links
Some links on VoltRated are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate programs may use cookies to attribute a purchase to us. This never influences our recommendations - our picks are driven by independent data, not commissions. See our Terms for the full disclosure.
How we use information
We use the information above to operate and improve the site, respond to your messages, measure and secure our content, display advertising, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
Sharing
We share data only with the service providers that help us run the site (such as our host, analytics, and advertising partners), or where required by law. Those providers handle data under their own privacy policies.
Data retention
We keep contact emails for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and our records. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to the relevant provider's policies.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, email hello@voltrated.com.
Children
VoltRated is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
