Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit gear.coffee (the “Site”).
About this Site
The Site is a static informational website. We do not sell products directly through the Site, and we do not have user accounts, shopping carts, or payment processing. Purchases of our products are completed on eBay, and any information you provide during a purchase is collected and processed by eBay under its own privacy policy: eBay User Privacy Notice.
Personal information we collect
The information collected in connection with the Site is limited to the following:
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site (for example, which pages are viewed and which products draw interest). Google Analytics sets cookies and collects device and usage information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. You can read more about how Google uses this data at Google's Privacy Policy, and you can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
- Server logs. Our hosting provider, Fastmail, may automatically log standard technical information when you visit the Site, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you request. You can read more about how Fastmail handles data here: Fastmail Privacy Policy.
- Contact form information. If you use the contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you submit so that we can respond to you. The form is processed by Web3Forms, which delivers your message to us by email. You can read more about how Web3Forms handles data here: Web3Forms Privacy Policy.
- Spam protection. The contact form uses hCaptcha to prevent automated abuse. When you complete the captcha, hCaptcha may collect device and usage information and set cookies as described in its policy: hCaptcha Privacy Policy.
How do we use your personal information?
We use the information you submit through the contact form solely to communicate with you and respond to your questions. We do not use your information for marketing, advertising, or profiling, and we do not sell it to anyone.
Sharing your personal information
We do not share your personal information with third parties except for the service providers described above (Fastmail, Web3Forms, and hCaptcha), which process it on our behalf to operate the Site and contact form.
We may also disclose your personal information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant, or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
External links
The Site links to third-party websites, including eBay (for purchases) and Trustpilot (for reviews). Once you leave the Site, those services' own privacy policies apply.
Your rights
You have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you and to ask that it be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us using the contact information below. If you are a European resident, please note that your information (for example, a contact form message) will be transferred outside of Europe, including to the United States.
Data retention
Messages sent through the contact form are retained in our email for as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your inquiry, unless and until you ask us to delete them.
Changes
We may update this privacy policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
