At Adventure Gear Shop (“we”, “us”, or “our”), operating at ustrailblazercamping.com, we value your trust as much as we value the durability of our outdoor gear. Just as we carefully craft our products to withstand the elements, we’ve built this Privacy Policy to protect your personal information with the same rugged reliability you expect from our gear.

1. Information We Collect

Like packing the essential gear for your adventure, we only collect what’s necessary:

  • Personal Identification: Your name, email address, shipping/billing address, phone number when you make a purchase or create an account.
  • Payment Information: Credit/debit card details (processed securely through PCI-compliant systems) or PayPal information. We never store full card numbers on our servers.
  • Activity Data: Information about your browsing behavior, purchases, and preferences to enhance your experience.
  • Technical Information: IP address, browser type, device information, and operating system for security and optimization.
  • Communications: Records of your interactions with our customer service team.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data with the same precision as a seasoned backpacker uses their gear:

  • To process and fulfill your orders for tents, backpacks, and outdoor equipment
  • To provide customer support as reliable as our camping chairs
  • To improve our website and product offerings
  • To send you relevant offers and updates (only with your consent)
  • To prevent fraud and enhance security
  • To comply with legal requirements

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We treat your information with the same care we recommend for your essential camping gear:

  • Service Providers: We share necessary information with payment processors, shipping carriers, and IT service providers – all carefully vetted for security.
  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights.
  • Business Transfers: In case of merger or acquisition, customer information may be transferred as part of the business assets.

We never sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

4. International Data Transfers

While we ship gear globally (excluding some Asian and remote regions), your data may be processed in the United States or other countries with appropriate safeguards in place.

5. Data Storage and Security

We protect your data with the same rugged security we build into our products:

  • Encryption for sensitive data during transmission
  • Secure servers with restricted access
  • Regular security audits
  • PCI-compliant payment processing

We retain your information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your information, just as you control your adventure gear:

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal data
  • Correction: Update inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your data under certain circumstances
  • Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications
  • Restriction: Limit how we use your data
  • Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies – small data files that help us navigate your experience smoothly, like a well-packed backpack:

  • Essential Cookies: Necessary for website functionality (e.g., shopping cart)
  • Performance Cookies: Help us improve our site
  • Marketing Cookies: Used for personalized advertising (only with consent)

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our products are designed for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages, but our website is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally, just as we upgrade our gear. Significant changes will be communicated through our website or email.
