This Privacy Policy describes how TheGagStore.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit or purchase through our website.
1. Information We Collect
- We may collect certain personal data if you voluntarily provide it — for example, when you subscribe to a newsletter, leave a comment, or contact us. This may include your name, email address, and any other information you choose to share.
- We may also collect certain non-personal information automatically: your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behaviour (pages visited, links clicked, time of visit). Cookies may be used to track affiliate link clicks and help us monitor performance.
2. Use of Information
- To monitor and improve our website performance.
- To send you updates, newsletters or respond to your inquiries (only if you opt in / provided consent).
- To track affiliate link clicks and conversions, so we can earn referral commissions from purchases made via our affiliate links.
- To ensure compliance with legal obligations and to protect our site against misuse.
3. Cookies and Third-Party Tracking
- Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to manage affiliate links and track referrals.
- These cookies help us know when a user clicks on an affiliate link and eventually completes a purchase, so we can receive commissions from qualifying purchases.
- If you prefer, you can disable cookies via your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect certain functionalities (e.g. affiliate link tracking).
4. Sharing Your Information
- We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
- We may share non-personal aggregate data (e.g. site usage statistics) with service providers or partners for analytics and performance monitoring.
- We do not have direct access to payment or personal data from purchases — those are handled by the merchant (e.g. Amazon) when you click through our affiliate links.
5. Data Security
- We take reasonable measures to protect data collected via our website.
- However, please be aware that no method of data transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data.
6. Children’s Privacy
- Our website is not intended for children under 13 years. We do not knowingly collect personal information from users under 13.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
- We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
- Your continued use of our website after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
