This policy explains what information Outgearly (https://outgearly.com) collects, why, and what your choices are. The short version: we collect very little, we don’t sell personal data, and most of what’s collected is the standard technical minimum needed to run a website.
Information we collect
- Comments — if you leave a comment, we store the name, email address, and content you submit, plus your IP address and browser user-agent to help with spam detection.
- Email — if you email us, we keep the correspondence for as long as needed to handle your enquiry.
- Server logs — like nearly every website, our infrastructure records standard technical data (IP address, pages requested, browser type) for security and troubleshooting. These logs are routinely rotated and are not used to identify individual visitors.
Cookies
Outgearly sets only the minimal cookies needed for site functionality (for example, if you leave a comment, an optional cookie can remember your details for next time). Third-party services listed below may set their own cookies subject to their own policies.
Third-party services
- Amazon Associates — Outgearly participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an Amazon link on this site, Amazon may set cookies to attribute your visit; this is governed by Amazon’s own privacy policy. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
- Cloudflare — this site is delivered through Cloudflare’s network for performance and security; Cloudflare processes visitor IP addresses as a technical necessity of providing that service.
What we don’t do
- We don’t sell, rent, or trade personal information.
- We don’t run invasive advertising trackers.
- We don’t require an account or registration to read anything on the site.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under GDPR and similar laws), you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data we hold about you — in practice, for most visitors, that’s at most a comment or an email thread. To exercise any of these rights, contact [email protected] and we’ll deal with it promptly.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, the updated version will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
