We may analyze your activity and preferences to recommend products or offers that may interest you.
This limited “profiling” does not result in automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time through your cookie preferences, by submitting a privacy request, or by enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser.
9. Disclosure of Information & Vendors
We share information only with trusted third parties who process it on our behalf under written contracts that restrict use to our purposes.
Our key service providers include:
- Shopify – ecommerce hosting, checkout, order processing
- Stripe & PayPal – payment processing (PCI-compliant)
- Klaviyo – email marketing and transactional communications
- Google Analytics – analytics and performance metrics
- Meta Ads & TikTok Ads – advertising and remarketing
- ShipStation, UPS, USPS – shipping, order tracking, and fulfillment
We may also share limited information with auditors, legal advisors, and regulators if required by law.
We do not authorize vendors to sell or use your data for their independent marketing.
10. Third-Party Links & Social Integrations
Our website and emails may contain links to third-party websites or social media platforms (e.g., Instagram, YouTube, TikTok).
These sites are not controlled by GAT Sport, and their privacy practices may differ.
We encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting or providing information.
11. International Data Transfers & Global Privacy
Because GAT Sport operates globally, your information may be transferred to the United States and other jurisdictions.
We rely on appropriate legal mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
We also comply with the UK GDPR and Canada’s PIPEDA.
Lawful bases for processing include contract performance, consent, legitimate interest, and legal obligations.
You may withdraw consent at any time or file complaints with your local regulator.
