Information We Collect

Our visitors - Automatic Data Collection

​

Like most websites, gearhousewindsor.ca collects non-personally identifiable information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifiable information is to better understand how our visitors use this website. From time to time, we may release non-personally identifiable information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of this website.

Gear House also collects potentially non-personally identifiable like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. We do not use such information to identify our visitors, however, and do not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that we use and disclose non-personally identifiable, as described below.

​

Our Customers - Information You Provide to Us

Certain actions on our website do require us to collect personally identifiable information. Purchasers are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process transactions. In each case, Gear House collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with our company. We will never disclose personally identifiable information other than as described below.

​

Aggregated Statistics

Gear House may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Gear House may monitor the most popular sections or products on our site. Gear House may display this non-personally identifiable information publicly or provide it to others. However, Gear House does not disclose personally identifiable information other than as described below.

​

Protection of Certain Personally Identifiable Information

Gear House discloses potentially personally identifiable and personally identifiable information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf, or to provide services requested by the customer, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using gearhousewindsor.ca, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Gear House will not rent or sell potentially personally identifiable and personally identifiable information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Gear House discloses potentially personally identifiable and personally identifiable information only when required to do so by law, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Gear House, third parties or the public at large. Gear House takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally identifiable and personally identifiable information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Without cookies, Gear House can't keep track of the items you've placed in your cart or perform other crucial ecommerce capabilities. We do not use cookies to intrude in your privacy or do anything other than match you up with your information on our site.
