Privacy policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

This page explains what personal data EVwire collects, why we collect it, and what you can do about it. We keep it short and plain.

Who we are

EVwire publishes evwire.com and our newsletters, and is responsible for the personal data described here. Questions or requests: [email protected] (put "Privacy" in the subject line).

What we collect

• Your email address, and your name if you give it, when you subscribe to a newsletter.

• Newsletter activity, such as whether you open an email or click a link, so we know what's useful.

• Payment details if you become an EVwire Insider. Payments are handled by Stripe through beehiiv, and we never see or store your full card number.

• Website usage data: the pages you view, your device and browser, your rough location from your IP address, and where you came from. We collect it through cookies and similar tools.

• Comments you post on our articles, with the name shown on them.

• Anything you send us by email, such as news tips or corrections.

Why we use it

• To send you the newsletters you signed up for. This is based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.

• To run your paid membership, because we need to in order to provide it.

• To understand how people use the site and newsletters, and to make them better. We do this because we have a legitimate interest in improving EVwire.

• To answer you, and to keep the site safe from spam and abuse.

Who helps us

A few services process data for us:

• beehiiv hosts our website and sends our newsletters. Their policy: https://www.beehiiv.com/privacy

• Google Analytics gives us website statistics.

• Cloudflare provides security and bot protection.

• Stripe handles membership payments. Their policy: https://stripe.com/privacy

Some of these services may process data outside the EU. When they do, they use the safeguards the law requires, such as standard contractual clauses.

We don't sell your personal data.

Ads, sponsors and referral links

Some newsletter sections are sponsored. Some links, like the codes on codes.evwire.com, are referral links that can earn us a commission. Clicking one can tell the other company that you came from us. We don't hand your email address to sponsors.

How long we keep it

We keep your data while you're subscribed or a member. Subscriber and membership data is stored by beehiiv, and how long it's kept after you leave follows beehiiv's privacy policy: https://www.beehiiv.com/privacy

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of your data, or ask us to correct it, delete it or limit how we use it. You can object to how we use it, and you can take your data with you. To unsubscribe from a newsletter, use the link at the bottom of any email. For everything else, email [email protected] with "Privacy" in the subject line. You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live.

Cookies

We use cookies the site needs to work, such as keeping you logged in, and analytics cookies to count visits.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top.
