2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

Contact information — name, email address, shipping/billing address, phone number.
Order information — items purchased, order value, payment confirmation (we do not store full payment card numbers; these are processed by our payment provider).
Account information — if you create an account, your login credentials and order history.
Usage data — pages visited, browser type, device information, and referring URLs, typically collected via cookies or analytics tools.
Marketing preferences — your email and SMS text message subscription status and communication preferences.

4. SMS/Text Messaging

If you sign up for our text club by entering your phone number, you agree to receive recurring marketing text messages (such as promotions and cart reminders) from GARN’S GEAR at the number provided.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, or to opt out of certain data processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at our contact page.
