Link to Previous Privacy Policies: Privacy Policy Archive

At ZEVTechnologies.com and ZEV Technologies, Inc., we respect your right to keep your personal information private. We wrote this Privacy Policy to make sure you understand the type of information we collect, when we collect it, how we use it, and finally your rights to access it. This information may be collected through the mail, email, ZEVTechnologies.com and other websites that link to this Privacy Policy, and any mobile services or applications offered by us.

In sum, this Privacy Policy explains: 1) what information ZEVTechnologies.com, ZEV Technologies, Inc., and its parent, subsidiary, and affiliate companies (collectively "ZEV", "we", or "us") collects and why we collect it; 2) how we use this information; and, 3) how you can access this information, update it, or correct it.

Please read this policy carefully!

What Information We Collect and Why We Collect It

Personally Identifiable Information ("PII")

Depending on how you interact with our website, we may need to collect "personally identifiable information" ("PII"). This PII can include information such as your name, your contact information, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, and your shipping information. We may also collect "non-personally identifiable information" ("Non-PII"), which is information that cannot be directly associated with you.

Note: we use Third-Party financial and credit services provided by Netsuite, US Credit, Inc., and FinMkt, Inc. to collect and process your billing or other financial information (such as credit card account information or credit reporting information). We use Third-Party software solutions, such as Netsuite pay processing, to collect and store your billing information. You can read about Netsuite’s, US Credit, Inc.’s, and FinMkt, Inc.’s billing and data collection policies here:

We collect PII when you provide it to us through your use of ZEVTechnologies.com (e.g. when you create an account, purchase a product, sign up for our email newsletter, etc.) or when you call in an order to our customer service team and give any personally identifiable information over the phone to a ZEV employee or contractor.

In addition, we may combine the PII and Non-PII we collect from you with additional information provided by third-parties. While we would never consciously collect or obtain data about our customers in an unethical manner, we will not be held responsible if we inadvertently obtain data from a third-party source that may have been collected in an unethical manner. However, if we learn that any third-party PII was collected unethically, we will cease using such data and will take steps to prevent our collecting that PII again. Please contact a ZEV customer service representative if you think your PII was provided to or collected from a third-party in an unethical manner.

Finally, we will not collect your PII unless you give us express or implied consent to do so in the first place. For more information on the differences between express vs. implied consent, check out this website provided by Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) enforcement agency: www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/internet/infograph.htm.

If you decide you would like us to stop collecting your PII, simply contact a ZEV customer service representative or click here: HERE. If you are a California resident you may have additional rights, please see the Your California Resident Rights Section below.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information ("Non-PII")

As we mentioned above, Non-PII is information that cannot be directly associated with you. We automatically collect certain Non-PII when you use our services. For example, we collect information about the devices you use to connect to our services and about how you use our services (such as what time of day you visit our website). Our advertisers and ad servicers may also collect Non-PII outside of our direct website services to measure the success of our digital advertising campaigns. We use the Non-PII that we collect for a variety of purposes such as to provide and improve our services, and to analyze and improve our advertising to provide the most relevant messages to our current and potential customers.

Why Do We Collect Your PII and Non-PII?

The PII and Non-PII we collect is used to implement, analyze, and improve our services (e.g. process, fulfill, and ship orders, respond to customer service requests, make changes to current orders, etc.) and to conduct marketing across print and digital mediums. If you willingly subscribe ("opt in") to our email list, we will send you periodic emails about a variety of topics including, but not limited to: events, new products, special sales, blog content, educational content, company updates, etc.

We share email activity data with our marketing email provider (MailChimp) to help them better target our marketing emails to our customers. While our marketing email provider has access to email addresses and email activity and may share bulk/non-specific activity data (e.g. Non-PII), no email addresses, specific email actions, or other PII are ever shared with other third-parties unless your express consent is given. Should a consumer wish to "opt out" of this sharing, that consumer simply needs to opt out of marketing email from us and will be promptly removed from all email lists. There is an Unsubscribe link in the bottom of each email we send out or you may contact a ZEV customer service representative.

Note: Though we do not do business within the EU or with customers with EU-based IP addresses, we still endeavor to abide by the fundamental principles of the U.S.-EU Privacy Shield framework. More information on the protections this affords you and your PII can be found here: https://www.privacyshield.gov.

Our Information Retention, Deletion, and Anti-Discrimination Policies

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). No purpose in this policy will require us keeping your personal information for longer than the period of time in which users have an account with us.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

You always request the right to request deletion of your information from our systems unless retention of said information, in whole or in part, is required by law. If you would like to delete your information, contact a ZEV customer service representative using the contact information below.

Finally, we absolutely will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights afforded you under this policy or by law. If you have any questions or concerns about exercising your privacy rights under this policy or by law, please contact a ZEV customer service representative using the contact information below.

How we Keep your Information Safe

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure.

Cookies

We may use "cookies," "web beacons,""" and other similar technologies to collect information in connection with our services and advertisements. Our partners and third-party vendors may use cookies as well. A "cookie" is a computer file that acts as an identification card for your computer to distinguish your browser from others and enable us to serve you better. For example, we use cookies to save products in your shopping cart while you browse our website and to track the effectiveness of our marketing and advertising campaigns. Similarly, a "web beacon" is a technology that can recognize specific cookies and convey information about that browser

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You may be able to set your browser to reject and/or delete cookies. For instructions, check your browser’s technical information. However, bear in mind if you reject or delete cookies then this may disable or interfere with features of our services offered through ZEVTechnologies.com or other websites you visit. We recommend that you leave cookies "turned on" so we can offer you a better shopping experience on our sites.

Interest-Based Advertising

We may work with third-party advertising companies that collect and use information about your online activities across sites over time in order to deliver more relevant advertising when you are using our services and elsewhere on the Internet. This practice is known as interest-based advertising.

You may visit http://optout.networkadvertising.org or http://optout.networkadvertising.org to learn more and to opt out of this type of advertising by companies participating in the Digital Advertising Alliance self-regulatory program. We do not operate or control these sites and are not responsible for the opt out choices available there. Note that electing to opt out will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser or applications. It may make the ads you see less relevant to your interests.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

Calling us at (888) 317-1812
Visiting our online portal: https://ccpaverification.com/zev-technologies

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. To designate an authorized agent you may do so by calling us at the toll-free number above or visiting our online portal at: https://ccpaverification.com/zev-technologies

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include:
- Providing us with your name, email address, telephone number and zip code.
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, specifically we will create a password protected zip file.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

Deny you goods or services.
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels.

Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
