Last Updated: October 22, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to MyBabyGears (“MyBabyGears,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, browse our products, create an account, make a purchase, subscribe to our marketing communications, or otherwise interact with our online store.

This policy is intended to address applicable United States federal and state privacy requirements. The rights available to you may depend on where you live and whether the laws apply to our business.

By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. Where consent is legally required, we will request it separately.

Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with our store, we may collect the following categories of personal information.

A. Information You Provide Directly

When you place an order, create an account, contact us, or subscribe to our communications, we may collect:

• Name and contact information, including your email address and telephone number.

• Billing and shipping addresses.

• Order details, including products purchased, order history, returns, and refunds.

• Account information, such as login credentials and account preferences.

• Customer service communications, feedback, reviews, and other information you voluntarily provide.

• Marketing preferences and communication consent records.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for a specific service and we have a lawful basis to process it.

B. Payment Information

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers. Depending on the payment method, these providers may collect payment card details, billing information, or other information required to complete a transaction.

We generally receive transaction confirmations and limited payment details rather than storing complete payment card numbers or security codes on our own systems. Actual practices depend on our payment processor and store configuration.

Payment providers handle payment information according to their own privacy policies and applicable legal requirements.

C. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit MyBabyGears, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, including:

• IP address and approximate location derived from it.

• Browser type, device type, and operating system.

• Pages viewed, products browsed, and links clicked.

• Time spent on pages and referring website addresses.

• Website session identifiers, cookies, and similar technologies.

• Website performance, security, and diagnostic information.

We use this information to operate our website, improve the shopping experience, understand website traffic, prevent fraud, and support analytics and advertising where enabled.

D. Information from Third Parties

We may receive information from payment processors, shipping companies, e-commerce platforms, analytics providers, advertising partners, and fraud-prevention services.

We may combine this information with information collected directly from you when permitted by applicable law.

How We Use Your Information

MyBabyGears may use personal information for the following purposes:

1. Order processing: To accept, process, fulfill, ship, and manage purchases, returns, exchanges, and refunds.

2. Customer service: To answer questions, resolve complaints, and provide order updates.

3. Account management: To maintain customer accounts, authenticate users, and remember preferences.

4. Website operation: To maintain, troubleshoot, secure, and improve our website and services.

5. Personalization: To remember shopping preferences and provide relevant product recommendations.

6. Marketing: To send promotional emails or text messages where permitted and, when required, with your consent.

7. Analytics and advertising: To measure website performance, evaluate marketing campaigns, and provide or measure advertisements, subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements.

8. Fraud prevention and security: To detect suspicious transactions, protect customers, and prevent unauthorized access.

9. Legal compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, and legitimate governmental requests.

10. Business operations: To establish, exercise, or defend legal claims and manage business transactions, where legally permitted.

We will not use personal information for materially different purposes without providing any notice or obtaining any consent required by applicable law.

Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies

MyBabyGears and certain third-party service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used for:

• Essential functions: Shopping carts, checkout, account authentication, security, and payment processing.

• Preferences: Remembering settings and improving your shopping experience.

• Analytics: Understanding how visitors use our website and identifying areas for improvement.

• Advertising: Measuring advertising performance, personalizing advertisements, and supporting marketing campaigns.

Where required by law, we will obtain consent before using nonessential cookies or tracking technologies.

You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, our cookie preference tool. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Some browsers and privacy tools transmit Global Privacy Control (GPC) or other opt-out preference signals. We will honor applicable legally recognized signals as required by law.

How We Share Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients when necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

A. Service Providers

We may share information with companies that provide services on our behalf, including:

• E-commerce hosting and website platform providers.

• Payment processors and payment security services.

• Shipping carriers, fulfillment centers, and logistics providers.

• Customer support and communication platforms.

• Email and SMS marketing providers.

• Analytics, website performance, and security providers.

These providers may use personal information only as permitted by their contractual obligations and applicable law.

B. Advertising and Analytics Partners

If we use advertising or analytics services, we may allow certain information to be collected or disclosed to those partners for analytics, advertising measurement, or targeted advertising.

Depending on the technology used and applicable law, these activities may constitute “sharing,” “selling,” or processing for targeted advertising under certain state privacy laws, even when no money changes hands.

Where required, we will provide an appropriate opt-out mechanism and honor applicable privacy preference signals.

C. Legal and Regulatory Authorities

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful legal processes, protect our rights, investigate fraud, or safeguard the security of our customers and business.

D. Business Transfers

Personal information may be disclosed as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, or sale of all or part of our business, subject to applicable legal protections.

E. With Your Direction or Consent

We may disclose information when you direct us to do so or otherwise consent to the disclosure.

We do not authorize the sale of personal information for money unless our practices and applicable law permit it and any required notices, consent, and opt-out rights are provided. Our actual sale, sharing, and advertising practices will depend on the services and tracking technologies we use.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence and applicable law, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to know or access: Request information about the personal information we collect, use, disclose, or otherwise process about you.

• Right to deletion: Request deletion of personal information, subject to legal exceptions.

• Right to correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal information.

• Right to data portability: Request a copy of certain personal information in a portable format, where applicable.

• Right to opt out: Opt out of certain sales of personal information, targeted advertising, or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects, where applicable.

• Right to limit certain uses: Where provided by law, limit the use or disclosure of certain sensitive personal information.

• Right to withdraw consent: Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

• Right to appeal: Appeal a decision we make regarding a privacy rights request where applicable law provides that right.

• Right to nondiscrimination: Exercise applicable privacy rights without unlawful discrimination.

These rights are not absolute. We may retain or process certain information when necessary to complete transactions, comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, establish legal claims, or rely on another applicable legal exception.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.

Please identify the nature of your request and provide sufficient information for us to verify your identity where required. We may request additional information when reasonably necessary to verify your request or confirm your authority to act on another person's behalf.

We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. If we deny a request, we will explain the reason when required and provide instructions for appealing the decision, where applicable.

You may use an authorized agent to submit certain requests when permitted by law. We may require verification of the agent's authority and your identity.

California Residents

If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”), applies to our business, California residents may have additional rights, including the rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information, subject to applicable exceptions.

California residents may also have the right to receive information about the categories of personal information collected, the purposes for collection, the categories of sources, and the categories of recipients.

Where required, we will provide a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link or another compliant opt-out method. We will process applicable Global Privacy Control signals as required by California law.

We will not discriminate against California residents for exercising privacy rights protected by applicable law.

Residents of Other States

Residents of states with applicable comprehensive privacy laws may have additional rights under their respective laws. These rights may include access, correction, deletion, portability, opting out of targeted advertising or certain profiling, and appealing a denied privacy request.

We will provide applicable rights and mechanisms to eligible consumers as required by the laws that apply to our business.

Email and Text Message Marketing

If you subscribe to our marketing communications, we may send product updates, promotions, special offers, and other marketing messages consistent with your preferences and applicable law.

You can unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the message.

If we offer marketing text messages, you can opt out by replying STOP or following the instructions provided in the message. Message and data rates may apply.

Opting out of marketing communications will not prevent us from sending nonmarketing messages that are necessary for transactions or permitted by law, such as order confirmations, shipping updates, account security notices, or customer service responses.

We will comply with applicable marketing and messaging requirements, including the CAN-SPAM Act and relevant federal and state rules.

8. Children's Privacy

MyBabyGears is intended for adults and general consumers purchasing products for babies and children. Our website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without the parental consent required by applicable law.

If we learn that we have collected personal information directly from a child under 13 in circumstances requiring parental consent and that consent has not been obtained, we will take appropriate steps to delete the information or obtain the required consent, as applicable.

Parents or legal guardians who believe a child has provided personal information to us may contact us using the details below.

This section does not eliminate any obligations that may apply under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) or other applicable laws. If MyBabyGears operates a child-directed service or knowingly collects children's personal information, additional notices, parental consent mechanisms, and safeguards may be required.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may depend on:

• The time needed to process orders, returns, refunds, and customer service requests.

• Applicable tax, accounting, consumer protection, and recordkeeping requirements.

• The need to prevent fraud and maintain business records.

• The resolution of disputes and enforcement of agreements.

• Marketing preferences and consent or opt-out records.

• Security, legal, and regulatory obligations.

When personal information is no longer reasonably necessary for its intended purpose, we will delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it in accordance with applicable law and our retention practices.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, and misuse.

Depending on our systems and service providers, these safeguards may include access controls, authentication measures, encryption where appropriate, security monitoring, and secure payment processing.

However, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and notifying us if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, payment services, or other external services.

We do not control the privacy practices of independent third parties. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you use.

International Data Processing

MyBabyGears and its service providers may process or store personal information in the United States or other countries, depending on where our business, hosting providers, payment processors, and other service providers operate.

Privacy and data protection laws may differ between countries. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers and processing.

If our business or service providers process information outside the United States, we will handle that information in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals

Some browsers provide Do Not Track settings or similar signals. Because there is no uniform standard governing every such signal, our response may depend on the technology involved and applicable law.

Where required by law, we will honor recognized opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, for the applicable processing activities.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, website features, service providers, or applicable legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy. If a change requires additional notice or consent under applicable law, we will provide it as required.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
