Who we are

Motor Hungry (“we”, “us”, “our”) runs motorhungry.com, an independent website with car, tire, wheel and brake guides. You can read more about the team on our About page.

For anything related to your privacy or this policy, email us at motorhungry@gmail.com.

Information we collect

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, some information is collected automatically by us, our hosting provider and the third-party services described below. This can include:

• Your IP address and approximate location (country or city level)
• Browser type, device type, operating system and screen size
• Pages you visit, how long you stay, and the page or search that brought you here
• Cookie identifiers and similar online identifiers used for analytics and advertising

Information you give us

If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and anything you write or attach. We don’t offer user accounts, comments or a newsletter, so we don’t collect personal information in any other way.

How we use your information

• To run, secure and fix the website, including protecting it against spam, abuse and attacks
• To understand which guides are useful, so we can improve and update them
• To show advertising that helps keep Motor Hungry free to read
• To reply to your messages and correct any errors you report
• To comply with legal obligations

If you’re in the EU, EEA or UK, we rely on these legal bases: your consent for non-essential analytics and advertising cookies; our legitimate interests in running a secure, useful website and answering your messages; and legal obligation where the law requires it.

Cookies and your choices

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use them, and allow our partners to use them, for site functionality, analytics and advertising.

When you first visit, our consent tool lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time using the privacy settings link provided by the consent tool, usually shown at the bottom of the page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some parts of the site may then not work as expected.

Advertising

We use Ezoic to serve ads. Ezoic and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure performance and, where you’ve consented, personalize ads based on your interests.

You can learn more and opt out of personalized advertising at aboutads.info/choices, youronlinechoices.eu (Europe) and Google Ads Settings.

The list below is provided by Ezoic and shows the advertising and technology partners that may process data on this site:

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are popular and how people find us. Google Analytics uses cookies and processes data such as your IP address and device information. We use these reports in aggregate; they don’t tell us who you are.

You can learn how Google uses this data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services, and opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Affiliate links

Many of our guides link to products on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click one of these links, Amazon may set cookies to record that you came from Motor Hungry. We receive aggregated reports of clicks and sales, but not your name, address or what else you buy. Your activity on Amazon is covered by Amazon’s Privacy Notice. See our Disclaimer for more about affiliate links.

Who we share information with

We share information only as described in this policy:

• Service providers that help us run the site, such as our web host, Ezoic, Google and Amazon
• Advertising partners working through Ezoic, according to your cookie choices
• Authorities or others when the law requires it, or to protect our rights, our users or the public

We don’t sell your email address or messages to anyone. Under some US state laws, such as California’s, letting advertising partners use cookies can count as “selling” or “sharing” personal information. You can opt out through the privacy settings in our consent tool, by enabling Global Privacy Control in your browser where supported, or by emailing us.

International transfers

Some of our providers, including Google, Ezoic and Amazon, process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, these transfers are protected by safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

How long we keep information

We keep emails only as long as we need them to respond and follow up, and delete them when they’re no longer needed. Analytics and advertising data is kept by Google, Ezoic and their partners according to their own retention settings and policies.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you and get a copy
• Correct information that is inaccurate
• Ask us to delete your information
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting processing that already happened
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising

To make a request, email motorhungry@gmail.com. We’ll respond within the time required by law, usually within one month. Because we don’t run user accounts, we may hold little or no information that identifies you personally. If you’re in the EU, EEA or UK, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

Children’s privacy

Motor Hungry is written for adult drivers and isn’t directed at children under 16. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Security

The site uses HTTPS, and we take reasonable steps to protect the information we handle. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, though, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our site or the law changes. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated. If we make significant changes, we’ll make that clear on this page.
