Privacy policy

Last updated November 2026

This policy explains what information EV Pick ("we") collects when you use evpick.com.au and how it is used. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988.

What you type into the calculators

The numbers you enter, such as your state, distance and budget, are processed in your own browser to show results. We don't store them or send them to us.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages are useful. It uses cookies to collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type. This information is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

We also keep our own simple visit counts, without cookies: the page viewed, the website you came from (such as Google), your country and whether you're on a phone or computer. To estimate how many different people visit, we combine your network address and browser type with a code that changes every day and keep only a scrambled result, so it can't be traced back to you or linked across days. We don't store your network address. These counts are deleted after 120 days.

When you use the site search, we keep the words you searched for, how many results there were and which result you picked, so we can see which cars and topics to add. We don't keep anything that identifies you with it, and we drop searches that look like an email address or phone number. Searches are deleted after 120 days.

Advertising

This site shows ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to show ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

You can turn off personalised advertising in Google Ad Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Apart from the analytics and advertising cookies above, this site doesn't set its own cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the calculators still work without them.

Saved cars, your state and print settings

We pre-select your state using the approximate location of your internet connection, worked out by our hosting provider at the time and not stored. If you save cars, change your state or choose print settings, they're kept in your own browser on this device. They aren't sent to us, and clearing your browser data removes them.

Car requests

If you use the request a car form, we receive the car you asked for, any note you add and, only if you choose to give it, your email address so we can tell you when the car is added. We don't use it for anything else, and we don't sell or share it.

The EV Pick newsletter

If you sign up for the newsletter, we keep your email address, the date, the page you signed up on and your rough state (from your internet connection) so we can send relevant stories. We use it only to send the monthly EV Pick newsletter, which may occasionally mention offers from partners we recommend. Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link, and you can unsubscribe any time. We don't sell or share your address, other than with the email service that sends the newsletter.

If you contact us

If you email us, we'll use your email address and message only to reply to you. We don't sell or share it.

Links to other sites

We link to other websites, such as energy regulators and motoring sites. Their privacy practices are their own.
