Effective Date: October 15, 2026
At Gear & Rig, we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information that may be collected when you visit GearAndRig.com, how we use that information, when third parties may process it, and the choices available to you.
This policy applies to our website. It does not govern websites operated by retailers, manufacturers, or other third parties that you visit through our links.
1. Who We Are
Gear & Rig is an independent editorial website publishing RV and trailer equipment guides, product comparisons, and educational content. We do not sell products directly or process purchases made on third-party retail websites.
For questions about privacy or requests relating to your personal information, contact privacy@gearandrig.com.
2. Information We May Collect
Depending on how you use the site, our configuration, and your consent choices, information processed through Gear & Rig may include:
- Website usage information: pages viewed, navigation activity, referral sources, interactions with content and affiliate links, and approximate geographic location.
- Device and technical information: browser and device type, operating system, IP address, timestamps, and technical information contained in server or security logs.
- Cookies and similar technologies: identifiers and preference information stored or accessed through cookies, local storage, or comparable technologies.
- Information you provide: your name, email address, message, and any other details you include when contacting us by email or through a website form, if one is available.
We do not ask visitors to submit payment card details, sensitive personal information, or account passwords through our editorial website. Please do not include such information in messages to us.
3. How We Use Information
Information may be used to:
- Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure Gear & Rig;
- Understand which RV equipment guides and site features visitors find useful;
- Measure website performance, traffic sources, and interactions with affiliate links;
- Respond to inquiries, correction requests, and complaints;
- Detect spam, misuse, and other security threats;
- Maintain appropriate records and comply with applicable legal obligations.
Where a legal basis is required, the basis depends on the activity and applicable law. It may include our legitimate interests in operating and securing the website, your consent for certain analytics or other non-essential technologies, or compliance with legal obligations. We will not rely on consent for an activity without offering the choices required by applicable law.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Gear & Rig may use essential cookies and similar technologies that support basic site functionality, security, or the storage of your privacy preferences. We may also use optional analytics or other technologies to understand how the site is used.
Where consent is required, we seek it before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies. You can review or change your choices using the cookie preferences control below:
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some technologies may affect website functionality. The cookies and services actually used may vary as the site evolves.
5. Analytics
We may use Google Analytics or comparable services to understand visits, traffic sources, device types, approximate location, and interactions with the website. When Google Analytics is active, Google may process information as described in its own privacy documentation.
Analytics data and identifiers depend on the tools enabled and your consent settings. Where consent is required, analytics technologies should operate in accordance with those choices. Our use of any analytics service does not mean we receive your name or payment details from that provider.
6. Affiliate Links and Retail Partners
Gear & Rig includes affiliate links, including links associated with the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you follow an affiliate link, a retailer or affiliate partner may process referral information and use cookies or similar technologies to track qualifying actions, subject to its own privacy practices.
We may measure when a visitor clicks an affiliate link on our site. When you complete a purchase on a retailer’s website, the retailer manages checkout, payment, delivery, and its customer account processes. We do not receive your full payment card details or retailer account password simply because you use our affiliate link.
For more on our commercial relationships, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
7. Contact Forms and Email
If you contact us, we process the details you send so we can respond, investigate an editorial correction or complaint, and keep an appropriate record of the communication. Please avoid including unnecessary personal or sensitive details.
Emails and contact submissions may be handled by service providers involved in email delivery, hosting, spam prevention, or website administration. We do not use a contact message as permission to enroll you in a marketing list.
8. Service Providers and International Processing
To operate the website, we may use service providers for hosting, website security, analytics, consent management, email delivery, and affiliate referral services. Each provider may process information relevant to the service it supplies, subject to applicable agreements and law.
Some providers may process data in countries other than the country where you live. Where legally required, we take account of the safeguards applicable to these transfers. Third-party services and external websites have their own privacy policies, which you should review when relevant.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was obtained, including answering inquiries, preventing abuse, maintaining records, or meeting legal requirements.
Website logs, analytics information, and contact correspondence may have different retention periods depending on the relevant service and its configuration. When information is no longer required, we aim to delete it or otherwise handle it appropriately, subject to legal and technical limitations.
10. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may be entitled to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you;
- Ask us to correct or delete eligible personal information;
- Object to or request restrictions on certain processing;
- Withdraw consent for processing that depends on consent;
- Request a portable copy of certain information, where applicable;
- Opt out of certain sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling activities, if applicable under your state or local law;
- Lodge a complaint with a relevant supervisory or regulatory authority.
These rights are not identical in every jurisdiction and may be subject to legal exceptions. To submit a request, contact privacy@gearandrig.com. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your request before responding. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a right protected by applicable law.
If privacy laws applicable to our operations require additional opt-out mechanisms, those choices must be made available through the website as well as described in this policy.
11. Children’s Privacy
Gear & Rig is intended for a general audience interested in RV and trailer equipment, not for children. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact privacy@gearandrig.com so we can review the matter.
12. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational steps intended to help protect information handled through the website, such as appropriate access controls, software maintenance, and security measures. No online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
13. External Links
Our articles may link to Amazon, other retailers, manufacturers, RV communities, and independent resources. When you visit those websites, their own terms and privacy policies govern the information they collect or process. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
14. Changes to This Policy
