1. Introduction
Welcome to BatteryBuddy.eu. We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a safe online experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information through our use of Google Analytics on our website.
2. Information Collection
BatteryBuddy.eu does not directly collect, store, or process any personal data from our visitors. We do not have user accounts, and we do not maintain any databases of user information. However, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"), to help us understand how our site is used. Google Analytics may collect information such as:
- Usage data (e.g., pages visited, time spent on the site)
- Device information (e.g., device type, operating system)
- Location data (as enabled by "Collect detailed location and device data")
- Demographic information (through Google Signals)
3. Use of Google Analytics
We have enabled the following features in Google Analytics:
- Google Signals data collection
- Collection of detailed location and device data
These features allow Google Analytics to provide us with more comprehensive, aggregated data about our site visitors, which helps us improve our content and user experience.
4. Cookies and Tracking
Our website itself does not use any cookies for its own purposes. However, Google Analytics uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and analyze information about the use of our site. Before any cookies are set or data is collected by Google Analytics, we present visitors with a cookie consent popup. This allows you to choose whether to accept or reject the use of analytics cookies.
5. Data Processing
All data collection and processing by Google Analytics occurs only after you have given consent through our cookie popup. If you choose to reject analytics cookies, no data will be collected. The information generated by Google Analytics is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

You have the right to:
- Refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser
