Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026

1. Who runs this site

AutoNergy (autonergy.co) is an independent project run by Vinit Jhawar, an individual based in Ireland. He is the data controller for the personal data described here. Contact: hello@autonergy.co.

2. The short version

• You can read every page without an account and without giving us anything.
• The site sets no tracking or advertising cookies and has no cross-site tracking. The hosting provider may set one security cookie when it checks for bots (see the Cookie Policy).
• We count visits with a cookieless analytics tool from our hosting provider.
• If you sign up for the newsletter we store your email address until you ask us to remove it.

3. What is collected when you visit

3.1 Hosting and server logs. The site is hosted by Vercel Inc. (USA). Like any web host, Vercel processes your IP address, browser user agent and the address of the page you request in order to deliver it, and keeps request logs for a limited period for security and troubleshooting. We do not combine these logs with anything else.

3.2 Visit statistics. Pages load Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights from our own domain. They record the page viewed, the referring site, approximate country, device type, browser, operating system and page loading speed. They do not use cookies. Vercel says visitors are counted with a short-lived anonymous identifier derived from the request, which is discarded after a day, so visits are not followed across days or across sites. We see totals, not individuals. Two extra events are counted the same way: newsletter_signup when the sign-up form is sent successfully and whatsapp_join_click when the WhatsApp alerts link is clicked. Each carries only the page's market and where the card was shown, never your email address or phone number.

3.3 Files loaded from other providers. Your browser fetches some files directly from third parties, and each of them receives your IP address and user agent when it does:

• Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com): the typefaces, on every page.
• jsDelivr (cdn.jsdelivr.net): charting libraries, map outlines and brand icons on the dashboards.

The News page shows each publisher's name instead of its photos, so it loads no images from publishers. Links in blog posts and on the News page go to other websites, which have their own privacy policies.

3.4 Storage in your browser. A few preferences are kept in your browser's local storage, such as light or dark mode and the year range you last picked. They stay on your device and are not sent to us. The full list is in the Cookie Policy.

4. The newsletter

If you subscribe, we collect the email address you enter and the markets you chose. Alongside it we store the status of the subscription with its dates, the browser user agent, and a one-way keyed hash of your shortened IP address (used only to spot abuse, and it cannot be turned back into an address).

You must confirm the subscription from a link we email to you before any newsletter is sent. Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link.

Two providers handle this data for us:

• Resend (Resend, Inc., USA) sends the emails and holds the contact list.
• Supabase holds the subscriber database, in a data centre in the EU (Ireland).

Resend reports delivery events back to us, such as delivered, bounced or marked as spam, and, where it records them, opens and link clicks. We keep these against your email address to keep the list healthy and to see whether the newsletter is being read.

The newsletter is the only way to give us personal data through the site. There are no accounts, comments or payments.

5. What we do not do

• No advertising networks, social media pixels or cross-site trackers.
• No tracking or advertising cookies. The only cookie is a security cookie (_vcrcs) that the hosting provider may set during a bot check.
• No selling or renting of personal data.
• No profiling or automated decisions about you.

6. Why we are allowed to do this (EU and UK)

• Newsletter: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time with the unsubscribe link or by emailing us.
• Hosting, server logs, abuse prevention and cookieless visit statistics: our legitimate interest in running, securing and understanding the use of the site.

7. Where the data goes

Vercel and Resend are based in the United States, so data they handle may be processed outside the European Economic Area. Both publish data processing terms that rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses. Google and jsDelivr serve the files listed in section 3.3 from their own global networks.

8. How long we keep it

• Newsletter: while you are subscribed. When you unsubscribe we stop emailing you and keep the address marked as unsubscribed so that it is not emailed again. Email us if you want it deleted altogether and we will remove it.
• Sign-ups that were never confirmed: deleted automatically, from our subscriber list and from the email provider, 14 days after the request. The confirmation link stops working after 7 days.
• Server logs and visit statistics: for the periods set by Vercel. We do not keep our own copies.
• Browser storage: until you clear it in your browser.

9. Your rights

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR you can ask for a copy of your data, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to its use, receive it in a portable form, and withdraw consent. People elsewhere may have similar rights under local law. Email hello@autonergy.co and we will reply within one month. You can also complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie), the UK ICO (ico.org.uk) or your local authority.

10. Children

AutoNergy is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Security

The site is served over HTTPS. Keys for our providers are kept as server-side environment settings and are not sent to the browser. The newsletter endpoint validates input, limits repeated requests and requires confirmation by email. No system is perfectly secure, so we collect as little as we can.

12. Changes

We will post changes on this page and update the date at the top.
