Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

GearStacks (“we,” “us”) operates the GearStacks website and related services. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

2. Information we collect

Content you provide. When you create setups or gear items, we store the information you submit (for example, titles, categories, descriptions, URLs, notes, and optional prices) in our database.

Usage and technical data. We and our hosting providers may collect standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited. We may log when outbound product links are clicked to operate analytics and improve the Service.

We do not require you to create an account to use basic features described on the site today; if we add accounts or authentication later, we will update this policy.

3. How we use information

We use information to provide, maintain, and improve GearStacks; to display setups and links you choose to share; to measure link engagement; to protect security; and to comply with law. We do not sell your personal information as a commodity; where we use vendors, we use them to run the Service as described here.

4. Service providers

We use third-party infrastructure such as hosting (for example, Vercel) and database/backend services (for example, Supabase) to operate the Service. Those providers process data on our behalf under their own terms and privacy policies.

5. Cookies and local storage

The Service may use cookies or similar technologies required for operation, security, or preferences. Your browser may let you block or delete cookies; some features may not work if you do.

6. Retention

We retain information for as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Aggregated or de-identified data may be retained longer.

7. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

8. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal data, or to object to certain processing. Contact us to make a request. We may need to verify your request before responding.

9. International users

If you access the Service from outside the country where our servers or providers are located, your information may be transferred to and processed in other countries with different data protection laws.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Last updated” date.
