Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 8, 2026

Welcome to Auto Chart Guide. We value your privacy and want you to know exactly what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. This policy explains all of that in plain language.

Auto Chart Guide is an independent automotive information website publishing manufacturer-sourced vehicle specifications, towing capacities, tire specs, torque values, battery data, and other reference charts. Transparency is part of how we build trust, and that includes being upfront about your data.

By using autochartguide.com, you agree to the practices described below. If you don't agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue using the site.

Who We Are

Auto Chart Guide was founded by Tanim to make automotive specifications easier to find, compare, and verify. Our charts are built primarily from manufacturer documentation, official specs, and industry standards. Learn more about our mission and editorial approach on our About Us page.

We serve a global audience and continuously work to improve the accuracy of what we publish.

Information We Collect About Visitors

We collect information in two ways: what you give us directly, and what's collected automatically as you browse.

Information you provide. If you email us, you might share your name, email address, and whatever details or files you send along with your message. We use this only to respond to your question, look into a reported chart correction, or provide the help you asked for. Auto Chart Guide doesn't currently offer account registration or newsletter sign-ups.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically receive some technical data on every visit - IP address, browser and device type, operating system, screen resolution, language, referring site, pages viewed, time on page, and approximate location based on IP. This helps us keep the site running smoothly, catch security issues, and support our advertising partners. None of it identifies you personally.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites remember details about your visit. We use them to improve performance, remember browser preferences, keep the site secure from abuse, and deliver relevant ads through our advertising partners.

Cookies don't give us access to your files or device. You can control, block, or delete them anytime through your browser settings — just know that disabling cookies may affect some site features and ad personalization.

Advertising and Third-Party Advertising Partners

Ads help keep Auto Chart Guide free and running. We currently use, or may use, advertising partners including Google AdSense and Mediavine (planned for future implementation). These partners may use cookies and similar technology to understand how visitors use websites and show more relevant ads, collecting things like browser and device info, IP address, general location, and pages viewed.

We don't control how our advertising partners collect or use data — that's governed by their own privacy policies. You can manage ad personalization through your Google Ad Settings or your browser's privacy controls.

Amazon Affiliate Disclosure

Auto Chart Guide participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Some pages contain affiliate links, and if you buy something through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate commissions help support the continued operation, maintenance, and development of Auto Chart Guide.

This never influences our editorial decisions or the accuracy of what we publish. Every chart is built independently from manufacturer documentation and trusted references, whether or not the page has an affiliate link. We may publish a dedicated Affiliate Disclosure page as our website continues to grow.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to operate and improve the site, respond to your emails and correction requests, catch spam or unauthorized access attempts, display ads through our partners, and meet legal obligations. We don't use your information for automated profiling or decision-making.

Sharing Your Information

We don't sell your personal information. We may share limited data with:

  • Service providers — hosting, domain, security, and email providers who need it to keep the site running, and who are expected to protect it
  • Advertising partners — Google AdSense and potential future partners like Mediavine, governed by their own policies
  • Legal authorities — only if required by law, or to protect Auto Chart Guide, our users, or the public from fraud or abuse

Data Retention

We keep information only as long as it's reasonably needed. Contact emails may be kept for support or record purposes. Technical logs are kept temporarily for security and troubleshooting. Advertising data retention follows each partner's own policy. Once we no longer need something, we take reasonable steps to delete it securely.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, object to certain processing, or ask how your data is used. To exercise any of these rights or submit a privacy-related request, please visit our Contact Us page or email us at [email protected].

If you're in the EEA or UK (GDPR): you may also have rights to erasure, data portability, restricting processing, and withdrawing consent where consent is our legal basis for processing.

If you're a California resident (CCPA): you can ask what categories of information we collect, request access or deletion (subject to legal exceptions), and ask how it's used. We do not sell personal information.

International Visitors

We serve visitors worldwide. If you're accessing the site from outside the country where our services operate, your information may be processed and stored under different data protection laws than your own. By using Auto Chart Guide, you accept that your data may be handled in jurisdictions with different rules.

Children's Privacy

Auto Chart Guide is meant for a general audience, not children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under that age. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us, contact us and we'll remove it promptly.

We link out to vehicle manufacturers, government resources, Amazon product pages, and other external sites. These operate independently of us, and we're not responsible for their content or privacy practices — check their policies before sharing any information.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. While we follow industry-standard security practices, no method of transmitting or storing data online can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We continuously review and improve our security measures to help protect our website and visitors.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our services, legal obligations, or advertising partners change. The "Last Updated" date at the top will always reflect the latest revision. Continuing to use Auto Chart Guide after an update means you accept the changes.
