| Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site. |

| General Description of Our Policy |
| At Gear To Go Outfitters we value our customers and value their privacy. It is our policy to never provide your personal information to any third party other than is necessary to process your order or as otherwise required by law. When you create an account you will have the option of allowing us to use your email address in order to send you news, product info, coupons, and special offers solely from Gear To Go Outfitters. |
| |
| What Information Do We Collect? |
| When you visit our Website you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and Website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Website. |
| |
| 1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide |
| |
| Registration Information. |
| If you choose to become a registered user of our Website you will be asked to provide us with information about yourself, your firm or company, and your practices. You may also choose to register for email newsletters, offers and alerts. |
| |
| Email Information. |
| If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. |
| |
| 2. Website Use Information |
| Similar to other commercial Websites, our Website utilizes a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect information about how our Website is used. Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Website, and the Websites visited just before and just after our Website. We, our advertisers and ad serving companies may also use small technology or pieces of code to determine which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them. |
| |
| How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us? |
| Broadly speaking, if you choose to register for email newsletters, offers and alerts, we use the personal information provided by registered users for the purposes of administering and expanding our business activities, providing customer service and making available products and services to our customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information that you have provided to notify you about important changes to our Website, new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing us at customerservice@geartogooutfitters.com. |
| |
| What Are Cookies? |
| A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a Website, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. We may have business partners (e.g., advertisers) that may use cookies that originate from their sites. We have no access or control over those cookies. |
| |
| How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies? |
| As you use our Website, the site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from seeing unnecessary advertisements or requiring you to log in more than is necessary for security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our Website and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback in order to constantly improve our Website and better serve our customers. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you and we do not store any personal information that you provided to us in your cookies. |
| |
| How Do We Protect Your Information? |
| Security |
| When you check out your personal information is protected. We use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate which is a digital certificate that authenticates the identity of our website and encrypts information sent to the server using SSL technology. Encryption is the process of scrambling data into an undecipherable format that can only be returned to a readable format with the proper decryption key. A certificate serves as an electronic "passport" that establishes an online entity’s credentials when doing business on the Web. When an Internet user attempts to send confidential information to a Web server, the user’s browser accesses the server’s digital certificate and establishes a secure connection. |
| |
| Certain Disclosures |
| We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law or comply with legal process served on us or affiliated parties; (b) protect and defend our rights and property, our site, the users of our site, and/or our affiliated parties; (c) act under circumstances to protect the safety of users of our site, us, or third parties. |
| |
| What About Other Websites Linked to Our Website? |
| We are not responsible for the practices employed by Websites linked to or from our Website nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to other Websites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our Website. |
| |
| Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Website to another Website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Website, including Websites which have a link on our Website, is subject to that Website's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding. |
| |
| Your Consent |
| By using our Website you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our Website to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it. |
