We process information to improve our services, from product recommendations to site functionality. Every piece of data serves a purpose to enhance your journey with us. This section explains how we apply your information responsibly. We aim to balance utility with respect for your privacy.

Your browsing data helps us understand which gear, like sleeping bags or trekking poles, interests you most. This allows us to suggest relevant products and optimize our website’s layout for easier navigation. For example, if you frequently view camping stoves, we might highlight similar items in your next visit. We analyze trends across users to improve our inventory and content. These efforts ensure our site aligns with your outdoor lifestyle.

When you place an order, we use your name and address to fulfill and ship your purchase promptly. Your email may be used to send order confirmations or updates on shipping status. If you share preferences, like a favorite national park, we might recommend gear suited for that environment. This personalization makes your shopping experience more relevant. You can always update your preferences in your account settings.

Newsletter subscribers receive curated content, such as hiking tips or new product launches, based on their interests. We use your email to deliver these updates, ensuring they’re relevant to your adventures. You can opt out at any time, and we won’t send unnecessary communications. Data from surveys helps us refine our product offerings and blog content. Your input directly influences how we serve the outdoor community.

We may use anonymized data to improve our website’s performance, such as optimizing load times or fixing bugs. This ensures a seamless experience for all users without identifying individuals.

WildStride Gear values your trust and only shares your data when necessary to provide our services. We work with trusted partners to deliver your gear and enhance your experience.

When you order a product, we share your name and shipping address with our logistics partners to ensure timely delivery.

We may use trusted platforms to manage email campaigns, but they’re required to follow our privacy standards. You can unsubscribe at any time to stop receiving communications. Our focus is on providing value, not distributing your data. We take your trust seriously.

In rare cases, we may share data to comply with legal obligations, such as responding to a court order. Even then, we limit sharing to only what’s legally required. Our commitment is to keep your information private while delivering exceptional service. Contact us at [email protected] for any questions about data sharing.
