Information collected automatically
When you visit, cookies, analytics tools and server logs may record:

2. How I use information

Where required, a consent banner lets you choose which cookies to allow. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some features may then work less well.
4. Third-party services
The site may rely on outside providers, including:

These providers have their own privacy policies and practices, which I don’t control. I encourage you to read them.

6. Data security
I take reasonable steps to protect information, including serving the site over a secure connection and limiting what I collect in the first place. No website can promise perfect security, so I can’t guarantee it.

8. Links to other sites
Articles link to airlines, stores and other sites. I’m not responsible for their privacy practices, so please review their policies when you leave Baggage Gear.

I may disclose information if the law requires it, to protect the safety or rights of the site and its visitors, or to investigate fraud and violations of the Terms.
