Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 5, 2026 • Effective immediately for all visitors and users
1. Overview & Scope
Welcome to evStartups.com ("we", "our", or "us"). We operate an independent commercial B2B research directory and comparison platform focused on electric vehicle fleet software, charge point management systems (CPMS), energy management tools, and connected vehicle telematics.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal and professional information when you visit our website, submit requests for software pricing, or contact our editorial desk.
2. Information We Collect
Because we operate primarily in a business-to-business (B2B) capacity, we collect information necessary to facilitate software evaluation and directory operations:
- Professional Business Information: When you request pricing, schedule a product demo, or contact our editorial team, we may collect your name, corporate business email address, company name, job title, fleet vehicle count, depot location, and specific operational use cases.
- Automated Usage Data & Analytics: We use standard web analytics tools to understand directory traffic, page views, referral sources, operating system, browser type, and dwell time. This data is collected in aggregate to improve user experience, page speed, and directory navigation.
- Cookies & Technical Identifiers: We utilize essential and analytics cookies to maintain basic site security, remember filter preferences, and measure visitor engagement.
3. Explicit Lead Sharing with Verified EV Software Vendors
Commercial Lead Sharing Disclosure:
When you voluntarily submit a request for pricing, product information, or a software demonstration regarding a specific vendor profile (such as Ampcontrol, AMPECO, Driivz, Geotab, Monta, Samsara, or others), you explicitly consent to our sharing of your submitted professional contact details and fleet requirements with the designated vendor or their authorized enterprise sales representatives.
Once shared, the vendor's handling of your information is governed by their respective privacy policies. We do not sell, rent, or trade your contact information to unrelated third-party data brokers.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following business purposes:
- Routing software quote inquiries directly to requested EV software platforms.
- Responding to editorial corrections, profile updates, and vendor submissions.
- Analyzing aggregate directory usage to identify trending EV software protocols and buyer needs.
- Detecting and mitigating security risks, spam submissions, or abusive automated scraping.
5. Data Retention & Security
We implement administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards to protect your professional data from unauthorized access or disclosure. We retain submitted inquiry data only for as long as necessary to fulfill lead routing, resolve editorial correspondence, or comply with applicable legal obligations.
6. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR, CCPA & Global Users)
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request rectification or erasure of your information, or object to data processing. To exercise these rights, please contact our privacy desk.
