Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 1, 2025
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://revvedupcars.com. We are an automotive blog offering reviews, articles, and links to car-related products and services.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract location data from images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience—so you don’t have to fill them in again later. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page (for admin access), we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie stores the post ID of the article you edited and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves just as if the visitor had visited the other site directly.
These sites may collect data, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content—especially if you’re logged into an account on their platform.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics collects data such as IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This helps us improve our content and user experience. You can learn more about how Google collects and processes data here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some of the links on our site are affiliate links, including Amazon Affiliate Program links. This means we may earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you—if you click a link and make a purchase.
Affiliate partners may use cookies or other tracking technologies to record your interaction with the link and track purchases. These third-party cookies are governed by their own privacy policies.
Third-Party Shops (Etsy)
Our site includes links to our Etsy shop for merchandise purchases. All transactions, including account creation and payment processing, are handled through Etsy.com. Please refer to Etsy’s Privacy Policy for more details: https://www.etsy.com/legal/privacy.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset (admin use only), your IP address will be included in the reset email. Other than that, we do not share your personal data with third parties unless required by law.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve future comments automatically.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have left comments on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including anything you’ve submitted. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold. This does not include data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
