Privacy policy.
How the initial GearNest website handles browser data, correspondence and future advertising.
Last updated: 9 November 2026. This document describes the initial, static version of gearnest.com.au and the information handled through its current features. We will update it when material features or processing practices change.
No accounts or collection forms
GearNest does not ask readers to register, pay, create an account or submit personal information through a website form. The search and three-question gear finder use JavaScript in your browser and do not send your selections to GearNest or another service. We do not currently operate an email newsletter or online checkout.
What happens if you email us
Clicking an email link opens your own mail application. If you send an email, we receive the address and information you choose to share and may use it to respond, assess a suggested correction or handle an enquiry. Do not include sensitive personal or financial information in an unsolicited message.
Hosting and security records
Like other websites, the server and hosting provider may process technical data needed to deliver pages and protect services, including IP address, browser information, page requests, timestamps and errors. The handling and retention of web-server logs depend on the hosting configuration and provider's operational policies. These records are different from browser-side guide finder answers.
Cookies and tracking at initial launch
The packaged GearNest site does not intentionally place advertising cookies, analytics cookies or third-party tracking tags. Its page assets, including illustrations, CSS and JavaScript, are hosted locally. Third-party external source links are only contacted if you choose to visit them. Any cookies an external site uses are subject to that site's own policy.
Future advertising or affiliate services
We may add advertising, affiliate links or analytics in future. Before doing so, we must update this notice to identify relevant services, purposes, data sharing and choices; implement applicable consent or privacy controls; and ensure any required platform-specific consent arrangements are in place. This current policy should not be assumed to describe services that have not yet been deployed.
Your questions and rights
For privacy enquiries about email correspondence or other information we hold, contact hello@gearnest.com.au. You can ask about access, correction or deletion where applicable. We may need to verify the request. GearNest is a general-audience editorial site and does not knowingly solicit personal information from children.
