At Game Ready Hardware, we understand the importance of safeguarding your personal information. Whether you’re shopping with us online or in-store, we are committed to ensuring a secure and protected experience for every customer. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect and manage personal information. Game Ready Hardware gathers two types of information: personal information and non-personal information.

 

Personal Information
Personal information generally includes details like your name, address, phone number, and email. While you can opt out of providing this information, doing so may limit our ability to offer you the products, services, or details you’re requesting. For example, online orders can only be processed if certain financial details are provided. With your permission, we may use your personal information for various purposes, such as:

Fulfilling requests for products, services, or information
Providing customer service
Administering contests or promotions
Offering new products and services
Enhancing the effectiveness of our websites, marketing efforts, or tailoring in-store or online offerings to your preferences

Non-personal Information
Non-personal information doesn’t identify you as an individual. For example, we might request your postal code to plan our flyer distribution. We may also compile and summarize customer data in a way that no longer identifies individuals, strictly for statistical analysis.

 

Consent to Information Use
In some situations, your consent is implied when we request personal information for a specific purpose. For example, we can only deliver your purchased product if you provide us with your address and phone number. In other instances, we may explicitly request your consent to use personal information to inform you of products or services that might interest you. You always have the option to “opt out” of such uses.

 

If you’ve “opted in” or subscribed to any of our newsletters or mailing lists, we will ensure you can “opt out” at any time. Each email will include instructions on how to unsubscribe.

 

In-store Purchases
When you purchase a product or service from Game Ready Hardware, you may be required to provide us with contact and payment information (e.g., credit card details) to process your request. Contact information may be necessary for services like delivery, product servicing, in-home installations, warranty coverage, and rebate claims. When we gather this data, we may also ask for your consent to send promotional material about products and services.

 

Rebates
Many products you purchase from Game Ready Hardware come with rebates. To claim your rebate, you’ll likely need to provide your name, address, email, and proof of purchase. You may also be asked by Game Ready Hardware or the manufacturer to consent to promotional mailings or newsletters. However, this consent is not required to receive the rebate.

 

Contests, Promotions, and Surveys
Occasionally, we may hold contests, promotions, or surveys. If you participate, you may need to provide contact details and optional survey information (e.g., product preferences). This data will be used to contact winners and for internal analysis. Survey results will be anonymized for statistical purposes. All contests are subject to rules, which will be provided with each specific promotion.

 

Our Websites
When using our websites, you may be asked to voluntarily share personal information (such as your name, email, postal address, phone number, or credit card details). This data is used to complete your transaction and access specific features. If you choose not to provide the requested information, you may be unable to use certain website functionalities or make purchases online.

 

With the services available on our websites, we may use your personal information to communicate with you and respond to inquiries. With your consent, we may also send you periodic emails or other communications about products or services we believe may interest you.

 

Information Collected Automatically
Like many websites, we automatically gather certain non-personal information from website users, which doesn’t identify you. Examples include your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, the IP address of your Internet Service Provider, the date and time you access the website, the URL from which you arrived, the operating system you use, and the website pages you visit. We also track your activity on the website, such as pages viewed and downloads.

 

Cookies
Our website uses “cookies,” which are small data files installed on your computer to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies allow the website to recognize you on future visits and provide personalized content and services, including not needing to re-enter your billing information. You can decline cookies through your browser settings, though this may impact your ability to use certain website features or make purchases.

 

Tracking Information
We may compile non-personal tracking information about website user demographics, traffic patterns, and purchases to create reports for advertisers and other partners. None of this data is connected to individual identities. We may also link tracking information to personal information voluntarily provided by users. Once linked, this data is treated as personal information and will only be used per this Privacy Policy.

 

Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to external websites or resources. When you click on these links, you’re connecting to another site. Game Ready Hardware has no control over these external websites or their handling of your personal information. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these sites.

 

Disclosure of Information
Game Ready Hardware does not sell your personal information. However, we may share it with third parties acting on our behalf or as required by law.

 

We may share your data with service providers to offer products and services, verify information, and handle customer service issues. Examples include credit card issuers, product service centers, warranty providers, and delivery services. Game Ready Hardware may also verify personal details, such as your address or credit card information, with third parties to prevent fraud.

 

Legal Disclosure
Game Ready Hardware may disclose your personal information as required by law or to:

 

Government entities or others asserting lawful authority
Assist in investigating unlawful activities
Comply with legal orders like subpoenas or court rules
Engage our legal counsel
How We Protect Your Information
The security of your personal information is a top priority for Game Ready Hardware. We implement suitable safeguards and up-to-date security standards to protect your personal information, whether on paper or electronically, against unauthorized access, misuse, or theft.

 

Though we take reasonable precautions, we cannot be responsible for theft, misuse, or unauthorized disclosure by third parties.
