The short version
FoodTruckBattery.Com is a free power calculator for food truck operators. We do not sell, rent, or share your information with anyone. We collect the minimum amount of data needed to run the site, improve the calculator, and (if you ask) email you a copy of your spec sheet.
What we collect
- Calculator inputs. The equipment list, shift hours, and truck type you enter into the PowerCheck calculator. This is processed entirely in your browser and is never tied to your identity unless you submit the email form.
- Email + truck name. Only when you submit the “Email me my results” form. We use this to send you the spec sheet and, occasionally, a brief follow-up about new calculator features.
- Anonymous usage analytics. Aggregate counts of page visits, calc starts, calc completions, and outbound clicks. We use Plausible Analytics (privacy-respecting, cookie-free) and our own self-hosted event log.
- Standard server logs. IP address, browser type, page requested, timestamp. Kept for up to 30 days for security and debugging, then deleted.
What we do not collect
- We do not collect your real name, address, or phone number.
- We do not require you to create an account.
- We do not place advertising cookies. (If we ever run advertising tracking, this page will be updated and that change will be summarized at the top.)
- We do not buy or sell email lists.
How we use your information
- To run the calculator and email you a spec sheet when you request one.
- To understand how operators use the tool so we can fix problems and improve it.
- To attribute outbound clicks to vendor partners (Signature Solar, BigBattery) using URL parameters — this is how we are paid affiliate commissions when a calculator user buys a system. The vendor sees that the click came from FoodTruckBattery.Com; the vendor does not receive your email or other personal information.
Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only with the service providers that help us run the site (e.g., our email sender and our analytics provider), and only to the extent they need to provide that service. We require those providers to handle your information confidentially.
Cookies
The calculator uses small amounts of localStorage in your browser to remember your inputs between visits. Plausible Analytics is cookie-free. The Meta Pixel (used for advertising attribution) may set cookies if and when we begin paid advertising; this page will be updated when that happens.
Your choices
- Opt out of email. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email info@foodtruckbattery.com and we will remove you within 7 days.
- Delete your data. Email us and we will delete your email and any associated submissions on request.
- Block analytics. Most modern browsers and ad blockers can disable Plausible. We do not penalize users who do.
Children
FoodTruckBattery.Com is intended for adults running food truck businesses. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy in a way that affects how we handle your information, we will update the “Last updated” date above and post a short summary on this page.
