At GadgetOut, accessible from https://gadgetout.com, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have about your personal data.

Who we are

We are the team behind Gadget Out, an online store focused on delivering useful, creative, and life-upgrading gadgets to our customers worldwide. Our website address is: https://gadgetout.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can view their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) becomes visible to the public.

Media

If you upload images to the website (e.g., product reviews), please avoid uploading photos with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location information from such images.

Cookies

To enhance your experience, our website uses cookies.

• If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These last for one year and save you time on future visits.

• When visiting our login page, we use a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie has no personal data and is removed when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles or product pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, etc.). This content behaves exactly as if you visited that external website.

These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interaction, especially if you’re logged into those services.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell or trade your data. If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security reasons.

How long we retain your data

• If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize follow-up comments automatically.

• Admins of the website can also view and edit this information.

What rights you have over your data

You can request:

• An exported file of your personal data that we store.

• That we erase any personal data we hold about you.

This does not include data we’re required to keep for legal, administrative, or security purposes. To make such a request, please contact us at support@gadgetout.com.
