Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information GearCompare collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect

• Analytics data: anonymous product page views, search terms, and retailer link clicks, used only in aggregate to understand which products and categories are popular. We do not store IP addresses or device fingerprints alongside this data.
• Contact form submissions: the name, email address, subject, and message you voluntarily submit through our Contact page, used solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Local browser storage: saved products, recently viewed products, and your comparison list are stored only in your browser's local storage and are never transmitted to our servers.

How We Use Information

We use the data above to operate the site, understand aggregate usage patterns, respond to inquiries, and improve our product catalog and comparison tools. We do not sell personal information.

Cookies

We use minimal, non-tracking cookies required for the admin dashboard's secure login session. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Third-Party Links

Purchase buttons take you to external retailer websites that operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party sites.

Data Retention & Security

Contact form submissions and analytics records are retained only as long as necessary for their stated purpose and are stored in a database protected by access controls and hashed admin credentials.
