Privacy Policy
Effective date: March 31, 2024
Your privacy is important to us. This Policy provides you with information on how we collect and use information about you. By visiting or otherwise using the Gelway website, you consent to Gelway’s data collection, use, and disclosure practices and other activities as described in this Policy. If you do not agree and consent, please discontinue using the Gelway website. We reserve the right to change and update this privacy policy from time to time and these changes will be posted on this web page. Each time a user visits or uses this site, the current version of the privacy statement applies. Users should check the date of this privacy policy at the top of this page and review for any changes since the last version.
Personal Information We Collect
Gelway collects personal information about you using various methods. First, when you voluntarily submit information to us when you order from our website. This can include information you provide to us when you register for an account, make a purchase, send us messages, subscribe to our mailing lists, newsletters or other marketing communications, engage in our social media platforms, participate in a survey, redeem a promotion, or additional features on our site. Second, we collect information automatically when you use the site such as information about the pages you look at, the actions you take, or the device you use to access our site. This information may be automatically collected through cookies, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies, and similar technology.
Information we collect can include:
Identifiers such as IP address; personal records such as your first and last name, e-mail address, phone number, and postal address; contact and profile information; comments, chat and reviews; account number and transaction information; location information; information provided by social networks.
Information we collect is used in creating and maintaining an account with us, completing transactions, shipping your purchases, fulfilling customer service requests, communicating our sales and promotions. It is also used to enhance and personalize your user experience, monitor and improve our websites and services, and other internal purposes.
We may store your personal information for an extended period of time depending on how we are using the information. For example, we’ll keep your email address and name on file as long as you have an account with us. In addition, we may keep your billing information on file for an extended period of time to maintain our internal transaction records.
Third Party Data Collection and Interest-Based Advertising
Our site may include social media features such as the Facebook Like button, Snapchat, Instagram, X or other widgets. These social media companies may recognize you and collect information about your visit to our site, and they may set a cookie or use other tracking technology. Your interaction with those features are governed by the privacy policies of those companies. Gelway is not responsible for the policies or business practices of third parties, including social media companies, associated with our site. We encourages you to read their privacy policies and terms of use.
Gelway may display targeted advertising to you through social media platforms which have interest-based advertising programs allowing us to direct advertisements to users who have shown interest in our products or to users who share similar traits and demographics. These advertisements are governed by the privacy policies of the social media companies that provide them. We, or any third party partners, may link your various devices so that content you see on one device can result in relevant advertising on another device. We may share a common account identifier (email address or user ID) with third party advertising partners to help recognize you across devices and use this cross-device linkage to provide interest-based advertising and other personalized content to you across your devices, to perform analytics and to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns. We may also share information with others in an aggregated or otherwise anonymous form that does not reasonably identify you directly as an individual.
Keeping Your Information Safe
The security of your information is important and we have put safeguards in place to preserve the integrity and security of the information we collect and that we share with our service providers. Gelway does not sell its customer lists and credit card information provided during a transaction is protected by security protocols. However, no security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee 100% safety. In the event information under our control is compromised as a result of a security breach, we will take reasonable steps to investigate and, where appropriate, notify the individuals whose information may have been compromised, and take steps in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.
Cookie Use
Most browsers allow you to adjust your browser settings to notify you when you receive a cookie which lets you choose whether or not to accept it; disable existing cookies; or set your browser to automatically reject cookies. Blocking or deleting cookies may negatively impact your experience using the site, as some features and services on our site may not work properly. Deleting cookies does not delete Local Storage Objects (LSOs) such as Flash objects and HTML5. To manage Flash cookie settings and preferences, you must use the settings manager on Adobe’s website. If you choose to delete Flash objects, you may not be able to access and use all or part of the Gelway website or benefit from the information or services provided through them.
Children’s Privacy
Gelway does not knowingly solicit or collect information from anyone under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will remove the data to the extent required by the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). If you believe that we might have any information from a child under 13, please contact us. California residents under the age of eighteen (18) who have used our site or social media and who posted content or information can request it be removed by contacting us and detailing where the content or information is posted and attesting that you posted it. We will make a reasonable, good faith effort to remove the post from public view or anonymize it so the minor cannot be individually identified to the extent required by applicable law. The removal process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive removal. For example, third-parties that we do not control may have republished or archived content by search engines.
Links to Other Websites and Services
The Gelway website may contain links to and from third party websites of our business partners, and social media sites. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies. We strongly recommend that you read their privacy policies and terms of use to understand how they collect, use, and share information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content on the websites of third party sites.
