Privacy

This draft says what a battery check stores. It is not a finished privacy policy.

Fields

• VIN, when you type one or a connected account returns one.
• Odometer, when you type it or a connected account returns it.
• From a connected account: state of charge, remaining range, VIN, and the make, model, and year on the vehicle record.
• Email, when you ask for a seller report, a deletion, or a reply.
• A dash reading: the range shown and the battery percent, when you type them.
• Optional history answers: state or province, in-service month, owner count, fleet or rental, and fast-charging habit.
• An asking price, when you type one, with its currency.
• Region, when you choose a state or province.

Data we collect in a battery check

• VIN
• Odometer
• Country
• Optional dash readings
• Region
• In-service date
• Ownership and usage answers
• Asking price

Why

To produce the report, improve estimates, and keep a history of readings for each VIN.

Sharing

We do not sell personal data. Exports for research use hashed VINs.

Vehicle history

VINs and readings are stored to improve estimates and build vehicle histories. The full VIN is kept on the vehicle record. Other records use that vehicle’s id. Exports use a SHA-256 hash of the VIN with a salt, not the VIN itself.

Purpose

Score a used EV or hybrid battery for a shopper or the vehicle owner.

Retention

A retention period is not published yet.

Deletion

Ask us to delete an email and the reports tied to it. Use the form on the deletion page. When ownership of a VIN is proved, deletion also removes the observations, price observations, and calibration pairs for that vehicle.

Until ownership verification exists, a deletion request is queued for manual review.

Canada and the United States

If you are in Canada, PIPEDA applies to this service. If you are in Quebec, Quebec's Law 25 applies as well. In the United States, state privacy laws may give you access, deletion, and opt-out rights depending on where you live. This draft does not list each statute.
