Privacy Policy
GearPuff (gearpuff.com) respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It was last updated on July 16, 2026.
What we collect
We collect only what we need to run the site and answer your messages.
- Contact details. The name, email address, and message you send through our contact form.
- Usage data. Pages viewed, browser type, device, and approximate location from server logs and analytics.
- Cookies. Small files that remember your preferences and measure traffic. See the Cookies section below.
How we use your data
We use the data above to publish and improve our reviews, reply to your questions, and understand which guides help readers most. We do not sell your personal information for money.
Affiliate links and third parties
Some links on GearPuff are affiliate links. When you click one and buy something, the retailer (such as Amazon) may set a cookie to track the referral. That cookie is controlled by the retailer, not by us. Read our affiliate disclosure for the full picture.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to keep the site working and analytics cookies to measure traffic. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Doing so may limit some features but will not stop you from reading our content.
Your rights under GDPR (EU and UK)
If you are in the European Union or United Kingdom, you can ask us to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate data.
- Delete your data (the right to be forgotten).
- Limit or object to how we process it.
- Receive your data in a portable format.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@gearpuff.com. We reply within 30 days.
Your rights under CCPA (California)
California residents can request a list of the personal information we have collected and ask us to delete it. We do not sell personal information. You can also choose not to have your data shared by contacting us at the email above.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: email hello@gearpuff.com with the subject "CCPA request."
Data retention
We keep contact-form messages for as long as needed to answer you, then delete them within 24 months unless the law requires us to keep them longer. Analytics data is stored in aggregate and stripped of direct identifiers.
Children
GearPuff is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has given us personal information, tell us and we will remove it.
