Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information GearSteal (“we”, “us”) collects when you use this website, why we collect it and the choices you have. We collect as little as possible. You can use the site without an account.

Information we collect

When you simply browse

• Anonymous counts. When you click a link to a store or reveal a coupon code, we count it by day, page type and store name. We do not store your IP address, a cookie or any identifier with these counts.
• Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful (pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser). Google sets its own cookies for this and receives your IP address, which we ask Google to shorten. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising. You can opt out with Google’s browser add-on or by blocking cookies; see how Google uses data.
• Saved items and comparisons are kept only in your own browser (local storage). They are not sent to us.
• Server logs. Like every website, our hosting provider keeps standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser and pages requested) for security and troubleshooting, for a limited time.

When you choose to give us information

• E-mail alerts (price-drop alerts, store coupon e-mails, saved searches): your e-mail address, what you asked to follow and the dates you confirmed and were last e-mailed. We use it only to send those e-mails. Every e-mail has a one-click unsubscribe link.
• “Did it work?” feedback on coupons: your answer and the reason you picked. To prevent repeated votes we store a one-way scrambled value made from your IP address and browser; we cannot turn it back into your IP address.
• Submitted coupon codes and contact messages: what you write and, if you give it, your name and e-mail address, so we can review the code or reply to you.

Cookies

We do not use advertising cookies. Google Analytics sets cookies to count visits (see above). When you click through to a store, that store and its affiliate network (for example Awin, or Amazon if shown) may set their own cookies on their website so the purchase can be credited to us. Their privacy policies apply on their websites.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for advertising. We use service providers only to run the site: our web hosting provider, the e-mail service that delivers alerts, and Google Analytics for visit statistics. We may disclose information if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

• Alert and follow e-mails: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them; unconfirmed sign-ups are removed after a reasonable time.
• Coupon feedback: up to 12 months.
• Submitted codes and messages: as long as needed to handle them, normally no longer than 12 months.

Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from any e-mail with its link. You can ask us to tell you what we hold about you, to correct it or to delete it through our contact form or by e-mail to info@gearsteal.com. California residents can read our CCPA Privacy Notice.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Security

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS) and limit access to stored data. No method of storage is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable care.

Changes

We will update this page if our practices change and change the date below.
