Privacy Policy

This policy applies to all information collected or submitted on our website or through email.

Information we collect

New accounts are created by adding an email address and a password. Email addresses are used for logging in, password resets, processing 'receipt forwards' for assignment to your account, responding to help email, and sending notifications as requested. We store information you have shared about your gear purchases for your use and may use it to inform our recommendation engine.

We do not share personal information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to accomplish Gear Beta’s functionality. We may share anonymous, aggregate statistics with outside parties, such as how long a product lasts on average.

We collect statistics about website use including basic technical information, such as your IP address, in temporary memory or logs, to operate and improve our website, product, and customer support. We use cookies on the site to keep you logged in. For performance we direct some traffic through Cloudflare. They can access basic technical information, such as your IP address. Cloudflare’s privacy policy is available here.

We may disclose your information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal requirements; to exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud or abuse, violations of our policies; or to protect our rights and property.

In the future, we may sell to, buy, merge with, or partner with other businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets.

You have certain rights around all information you share with us:

• Right of Access. This includes your right to access the personal information we gather about you, and your right to obtain information about the sharing, storage, security and processing of that information.
• Right to Correction. This is your right to request correction of your personal information.
• Right to Erasure. This is your right to request, subject to certain limitations under applicable law, that your personal information be erased from our possession (also known as the “Right to be forgotten”). However, if applicable law requires us to comply with your request to delete your information, fulfillment of your request may prevent you from using our services and may result in closing your account.
• Right to Complain. You have the right to make a complaint regarding our handling of your personal information with the appropriate supervisory authority.
• Right to Restrict Processing. This is your right to request restriction of how and why your personal information is used or processed.
• Right to Object. This is your right, in certain situations, to object to how or why your personal information is processed.
• Right to Portability. This is your right to receive the personal information we have about you and the right to transmit it to another party.
• Right to not be subject to Automated Decision-Making. This is your right to object and prevent any decision that could have a legal, or similarly significant, effect on you from being made solely based on automated processes. This right is limited, however, if the decision is necessary for performance of any contract between you and us, is allowed by applicable European law, or is based on your explicit consent.

Security

We implement standard security measures to keep your information secure to the best of our ability. For example, the website requires HTTPS with certificate pinning. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard methods.

California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance

We comply with the California Online Privacy Protection Act. We therefore will not distribute your personal information to outside parties without your consent.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance

We never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

Information for European Union Customers

By using Gear Beta and providing your information, you authorize us to collect, use, and store your information outside of the European Union.

International Transfers of Information

Information may be processed, stored, and used outside of the country in which you are located. Data privacy laws vary across jurisdictions, and different laws may be applicable to your data depending on where it is processed, stored, or used.
