Privacy Policy

At PeakCamp Shop, we approach your privacy with the same care we apply to crafting expedition-ready gear. Just as we wouldn’t send you into the backcountry with subpar equipment, we won’t compromise when it comes to protecting your personal data. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information—think of it as the technical specifications for our digital security systems.

1. The Data We Collect (Our Expedition Essentials)

To equip your adventures and navigate our services, we may collect:

• Basecamp Information: Name, email address, shipping address, and contact details—the essentials for processing your orders and reaching you if weather conditions (or order status) change.
• Technical Gear: IP address, browser type, device information, and usage data—like checking your crampons before a climb, we monitor system performance.
• Route Tracking: Information about your interactions with our site, including pages visited and products viewed—similar to a GPS log of your digital journey.
• Payment Details: Encrypted transaction information (though we never store full credit card numbers—that would be like leaving your gear unsecured at basecamp).

2. How We Use Your Data (Mapping the Expedition)

Every piece of data serves a purpose, just like each item in your pack:

• Processing orders and delivering gear to your doorstep (or trailhead)
• Improving our products and services through route analysis (website analytics)
• Sending essential communications (order confirmations, shipping updates)
• Personalizing your experience (like choosing the right gear for your adventure type)
• Preventing fraud and ensuring payment security (our digital avalanche protection)

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure (Trusted Climbing Partners)

We only share information with carefully selected partners who meet our alpine standards:

• Logistics Teams: Shipping carriers to deliver your gear
• Payment Sherpas: PCI-compliant processors to handle transactions
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our community (like reporting suspicious activity to authorities)

We never sell your data to third-party advertisers—that’s against our expedition ethics.

4. Data Storage & Security (Our Digital Basecamp)

Your information is protected with the same rigor as our most technical gear:

• Military-grade encryption (256-bit SSL)—the digital equivalent of a stormproof tent
• Regular security audits—like checking our anchor points before a climb
• Tokenization technology ensuring payment details never rest on our servers
• Limited access protocols—only trained staff can access sensitive data

While we implement glacier-level security measures, no system is 100% impenetrable—just as no gear is completely weatherproof in extreme conditions.

5. Your Rights (Controlling Your Expedition)

You maintain summit-level control over your information:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data (your digital gear list)
• Correction: Update inaccurate information (like adjusting your pack straps)
• Deletion: Remove your account data (when your expedition is complete)
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications
• Restrict Processing: Limit how we use your data

To exercise these rights, contact our Basecamp Team at [email protected].

6. Cookies & Tracking (Our Digital Trail Markers)

We use these technologies to navigate your experience:

• Essential Cookies: Required for site functionality (like your climbing harness—non-negotiable)
• Performance Cookies: Help us improve our services (equivalent to post-climb gear reviews)
• Marketing Cookies: Allow personalized advertising (when you opt-in)

You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings—think of it as adjusting your layers for changing conditions.

7. International Operations (Global Expeditions)

As we serve adventurers worldwide (excluding some Asian and remote regions), data may be transferred internationally. We ensure all transfers comply with strict data protection standards—like meeting international climbing safety protocols.

8. Policy Updates (Route Adjustments)

We may update this policy as regulations evolve—we’ll notify you of significant changes through our website or email. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance—like agreeing to new safety protocols before a guided climb.

Now that your privacy is secured tighter than a dry bag’s roll-top closure, you can focus on your next adventure—we’ll handle the data logistics.
