Privacy Policy

GearChecked ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website gearchecked.vercel.app (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

We do not ask you to create an account and we do not knowingly collect personal information unless you choose to give it to us — for example, when you fill out our contact form. Information we may collect includes:

• Contact details you submit. If you use our contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you provide so we can respond to you.
• Usage and device data. Like most websites, we automatically receive standard technical information such as your browser type, device, approximate region, referring pages, and the pages you view. This is collected through privacy-friendly analytics (see below).

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our third-party partners use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Analytics. We use Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to understand aggregate traffic and site performance. This data is collected in an aggregated, privacy-focused manner and is used to improve the Site.
• Affiliate tracking.When you click an affiliate link on our Site (for example, a link to Amazon), the destination retailer may set cookies that allow them to attribute a resulting purchase to GearChecked. These cookies are controlled by the retailer, not by us. See "Affiliate Disclosure" below.
• Advertising. If we display third-party advertising in the future, ad partners may use cookies and device identifiers to measure and personalize ads. Where required, we will request your consent before such advertising cookies are set.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can set most browsers to refuse cookies. Doing so may affect how some parts of the Site function.

Affiliate Disclosure

GearChecked is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other affiliate programs. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click a product link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence our review conclusions — we recommend products based on research and merit.

How We Use Information

• To respond to your inquiries and contact-form messages.
• To analyze aggregate usage and improve the Site's content and performance.
• To operate, maintain, and secure the Site.
• To comply with legal obligations.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below and we will respond as required by applicable law.
