This Privacy Policy explains how Smart EV Route (“we”, “our”, “this site”) handles information when you use our website and web app.

1) What we do

EV Trip Planner Pro helps you plan driving routes and estimate charging stops based on the settings you enter. The app may use Google Maps services (Maps, Directions, Places) to display a map, calculate routes, and search nearby charging locations.

2) Information you provide

• Route inputs: origin, destination, and EV range settings you type in.
• Feedback: if you submit the feedback form, you may provide your name/email/message.

3) Location data

If you click “Use My Location”, your browser may ask for permission to access your device location. We use this only to set your origin in the app.

• We do not intentionally store your precise location on our own servers.
• Location may be processed by your browser and by Google Maps services to provide map functionality.

4) Cookies & advertising (Google AdSense)

We may display third-party ads (e.g., Google AdSense). These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads based on your interests and to measure ad performance.

• You can learn about Google advertising cookies and controls in Google’s policies and ad settings.
• You can control cookies in your browser settings.

5) Third-party services

We use third-party services that may collect information under their own privacy policies, including:

• Google Maps Platform (Maps/Directions/Places)
• Formspree (for feedback form submissions, if enabled)
• Google AdSense (advertising)
• Analytics (if you enable it later)

6) Data retention

We do not intentionally store route searches on our servers. Feedback messages submitted through the feedback form are retained in the inbox/service you configure (Formspree).

7) Children’s privacy

This site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8) Contact
