Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Information you provide: When you use our AI chat or QuestionCue tool, we receive the text you type — including your sport preferences, budget, and gear questions. We do not require you to create an account to use these features.
• Usage data: We automatically collect standard web analytics information such as pages visited, time on site, browser type, and referring URLs. This is collected in aggregate and is not linked to individual identities.
• Cookies: We use cookies to maintain session state and improve site functionality. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not function correctly.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To generate AI-powered gear recommendations in response to your queries
• To improve the accuracy and relevance of our recommendation engine
• To analyze usage patterns and improve the site experience
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
