Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how GearAndSteer.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and safeguards information when you visit our website. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. We do not require you to create an account or submit personal details to read our guides. We may collect:
- Usage data — non-identifying information such as pages visited, browser type, device type, and referring pages, gathered through analytics tools.
- Cookies and similar technologies — small files used to understand site traffic and improve the experience. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.
- Information you provide voluntarily — for example, if you email us or sign up for a price-drop or content notification.
Affiliate links and Amazon
GearAndSteer.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the retailer (such as Amazon) may set cookies and process your transaction under its own privacy policy. We never see or store your payment details. We may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.
Analytics and third-party services
We use third-party analytics and hosting providers to operate the site. These providers may process aggregated, non-identifying usage data on our behalf. Amazon and other retailers we link to maintain their own privacy policies governing data they collect once you leave our site.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content.
- To understand which guides and topics are most useful to readers.
- To respond to inquiries you send us.
- To comply with legal obligations and prevent misuse.
We do not sell your personal information.
Your choices
You can control cookies through your browser, opt out of analytics using available browser tools or extensions, and choose not to click affiliate links. If you have contacted us and would like your message and details removed, let us know.
Children’s privacy
Our site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, with the “last updated” date revised accordingly.
