Privacy policy
HonestAmps is a free tool that helps homeowners check whether their home is ready for an EV charger. It is built by licensed electricians at Stonehouse Electric Company in Erie, Pennsylvania. This page explains what we collect, why, who sees it, and how to have it deleted. We do not sell your personal information.
What we collect
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your walkthrough answers (address, ZIP, home details, appliances, car, charging plans) and any meter or panel photos | Saved only in your own browser while you use the tool. Sent to us only if you tap Send. | To build your report, and, if you send it, so the electrician can prepare a quote |
| Name, mobile number, email, preferred timeline | Only when you send your report | To contact you about your quote |
| A record of your consent (the wording you agreed to and the time) | When you send your report | To show you asked to be contacted |
| Anonymous usage events: a random session code, which step you reached, the first three digits of your ZIP, whether it is in our service area, the result type, and how you found us (for example an ad, a partner link or another website) | As you use the tool | To see where the tool is confusing and which outreach works |
| Beta feedback you choose to send, and the name you give with it | When you send feedback | To fix and improve the tool |
| Standard technical data (IP address, browser type, pages visited) | Every page load, collected by our hosting and analytics providers | To deliver the site securely and count visits |
Who sees it
- The electrician you send your report to. Today that is Stonehouse Electric Company. They use it to contact you about your project and may keep it in their customer records if you hire them.
- Service providers that run the site for us: Cloudflare (hosting, cookie-free visit counts, and the Turnstile check that stops bots on the Send button), Google (the spreadsheet, file storage and email that receive reports), and Google Fonts (typefaces). They process data on our behalf.
- Nobody else, unless the law requires it. If we later work with other electricians, we will only send your report to one you choose or agree to at the time you send it.
Calls and texts
If you check the consent box and send your report, the named electrician may call or text you about that project, including by automated means. Consent is not a condition of buying anything. Reply STOP to any text to opt out, or email us. We do not use your number for unrelated marketing.
Cookies and storage
We do not use advertising cookies. The tool saves your answers and any photos in your browser's storage (local storage and IndexedDB) so you can come back to them, and keeps a random session code in session storage for the anonymous step counts. Clearing your browser data removes both. On a shared computer, clear your browser data when you finish.
How long we keep it
Reports, photos and contact details are deleted 12 months after you send them, unless you become a customer of the electrician, whose own records policy then applies. Anonymous usage events are kept up to 24 months.
Your choices
- Ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it by emailing [email protected]. We answer within 30 days.
- Use the tool without sending anything: your report still works, and nothing personal leaves your browser.
Security
The site uses HTTPS. Reports are stored in access-restricted accounts used only by the people who handle them. No system is perfectly secure, so please don't include anything in notes or photos that isn't needed for your project.
Children
HonestAmps is meant for adult homeowners and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top. Material changes will be noted on the home page.
