This Privacy Policy explains what information cards.havyauto.com collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. We take your privacy seriously, and we keep this policy in plain language so it is easy to understand.
Information we collect
We collect only the information we need to run this website and to answer our readers.
- Information you send us. When you email us, you send us your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message, such as your name, a question, or a correction to one of our guides. We use that information only to read and reply to your message.
- Basic technical data. Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information automatically, such as the pages you visit, the type of browser and device you use, and general location information derived from your connection. If analytics are enabled on this site, this data is collected by standard analytics tools in aggregated form — we do not use it to identify individual readers.
- Information we do not collect. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not collect your card numbers, bank details, or any payment information. We have no reason to ask for that information, and you should never send it to us by email.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve this website, to understand which guides readers find useful, to fix errors, and to respond to messages from readers. We do not sell your personal information to anyone, and we do not share it with third parties except as described in this policy.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help a website remember you and work properly. This site may use cookies for basic functions, for analytics (if enabled), and for advertising (described below). Your browser lets you delete cookies and block them, although blocking some cookies may affect how the site works. You can also set your browser to alert you when a cookie is being set.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this website. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads to our visitors based on their prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our visitors based on their visit to this website and/or other sites on the internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Users can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
Our authorized digital sellers are listed in our ads.txt file, including Google as a direct seller.
Third-party links
Our articles link to other websites, including card issuer websites. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for how they collect or use your information. When you follow a link to another site, that site's privacy policy applies, not this one.
Data retention
We keep the information you send us by email only as long as we need it to answer your message and to keep a record of corrections to our guides. Technical and analytics data, where collected, is kept in aggregated form for as long as it is useful for understanding how the site is used, and is then deleted or anonymized.
Children's privacy
This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your choices and rights
You have choices about your information. You can delete or block cookies in your browser, and you can opt out of personalized advertising using the links in the Advertising section above. You can also email us at any time to ask what information we hold about you, to ask us to correct it, or to ask us to delete it.
If you are a resident of California, you may have additional rights under California law, including the right to know what personal information we collect about you and the right to ask us to delete it. We do not sell personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of selling. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below.

Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if we change how the site works or how advertising is served. When we do, we will post the updated policy on this page. The updated policy takes effect when it is posted.
