Privacy Policy

LEGAL AND PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from GSI Outdoors online shop (the “Site”) at www.GSIOutdoors.com.

WHAT INFORMATION DOES GSI OUTDOORS COLLECT?

One of the major concerns for internet users today is certainly the question of privacy and collection of personal information. At GSI Outdoors, we promise to always be forthright with the collection of your information. No matter what, we will guard your personal information as though it were our own.

In the vein of transparency, we want you to know what information we collect, when it is being collected and how that information will be used. Through the process of ordering products, replacement parts, warranty or other items from GSI Outdoors, we do have to collect certain personal information necessary to fulfill your order such as name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information”. When you place an order through the Site, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information. Payment information such as credit card numbers is collected by our third party payment processors PayPal and Authorize.net. 

For more information on PayPal, visit: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

For more information on Authorize.net, visit: https://www.authorize.net/about-us/dpa.html

When creating an account on GSIoutdoors.com you will also provide an email address and password. Keep your password protected at all times and do not disclose it to anyone else as you are personally responsible for each purchase made using your user identification and password.

Additionally, the GSI Outdoors servers used to host our website identify a web visitor’s Internet Service Provider, IP Address, Domain, timezone and basic information about the user’s Internet Browser software and the computer’s operating system. The servers also take note of which page directed a given user to the GSI Outdoors site, which pages are visited most often, how long users view individual pages as well as which page on the site was just visited, allowing the user to go back to his or her most recent search results. This “Device Information” is used to assess the effectiveness of our websites and does not contain information relating to an individual user’s identity.

In compliance with the laws governing the collection of information from minors, GSI Outdoors does not collect information from children under the age of 18 in the European Union or Asia Pacific regions, or under the age of 13 in the United States or Latin America. Users who do not meet these age limits are not to provide information on GSI Outdoors websites and are required to have their parents or guardian do so instead.

GSI Outdoors will not sell, rent, trade or lease your personal information for the purpose of marketing, advertising or other purpose. We will only disclose personal information when required to do so by law or to protect the rights, property or personal safety of GSI Outdoors, our customers or the general public.

We may also share your personal information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.

  • The categories of personal information listed in the California Customer Records Statute (such as name, address, telephone number)

HOW DO WE USE ORDER AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION?
