Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

At Gym Workout Gear (accessible via https://gymworkoutgear.com), this policy explains what we collect when you shop with us, why we hold it, and how long it stays.

Buying a pair of shorts should not mean handing over more than the purchase needs. The list below is short because the operation behind it is: an order, an address, an email thread, and a delivery.

By using our website you agree to the practices described here. If you want to know what we hold about you, or want it removed, email us at [email protected] and we will handle it.

1. Privacy at a glance

2. Information we collect

• Identification and contact data. Name, email address, shipping address, and billing address.
• Payment data. Processed by PayPal. We see that a payment succeeded and the method type, never the full card number.
• Order data. Items, sizes, order history, and delivery status.
• Technical data. IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, and time on site.

3. How we use it

• To process, pack, and deliver orders
• To send order confirmations, shipping notices, and return labels
• To answer support messages
• To improve how the store and its listings work
• To meet tax, accounting, and other legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. How we share it

• PayPal, to process payments securely
• Carriers including USPS, UPS, and FedEx, to deliver and to trace parcels
• Service providers who host or support the website, under confidentiality terms
• Authorities, where the law requires it
• A successor, if the business is transferred, with the same protections carried over

5. Cookies

The site uses cookies and similar technologies for the basics of shopping and for understanding site traffic. What each type does, and how to switch them off, is set out in the Cookie Policy.

6. How long we keep it

Order records are kept for 7 years to meet tax and accounting requirements. Support messages are kept for 12 months and then deleted. Technical logs are held for a short period and are not linked back to individual customers.

7. Security

The site runs over SSL, and access to order data is limited to the people who handle orders and support. No system is perfectly secure, and we do not claim otherwise, but card details never sit on our side to begin with.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the information we hold, correct it, request its deletion, or opt out of marketing messages. Email us at [email protected] and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. Some records, such as completed order data, must be retained for the periods above.

9. Marketing communications

We only send marketing email to people who opted in, and every one of those messages carries an unsubscribe link. Order confirmations, shipping notices, and return correspondence are service messages and are sent whether or not you subscribe.

10. Children

Our website is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Third-party links

Pages on this site may link to services we do not operate. Their privacy practices are their own, and we recommend reading them before entering information there.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The revised version is posted here with a new date at the top.

Privacy questions

Requests about your data go to the same address as everything else, and they are handled by a person rather than a form.

Thank you for shopping with us, and for putting the gear to work.
