Any successor entity receiving personal information will remain subject to applicable privacy obligations.

21. Sale of Personal Information

Geadwr does not sell personal information for money.

Certain privacy laws may define some forms of data sharing for targeted advertising more broadly than a traditional sale.

Where applicable law provides an opt-out right for such activity, we will honor valid requests as required.

No online system can guarantee absolute security.

We therefore cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, or misuse will never occur.

support@geadwr.com

Please include enough information for us to understand and process your request.

We may request reasonable verification before completing a privacy request to protect personal information from unauthorized access.

27. Identity Verification

Before fulfilling certain privacy requests, we may need to verify your identity.

Verification may involve confirming information associated with your account or order.

We will request only information reasonably necessary for verification.

28. Authorized Agents

Where applicable law permits, you may authorize another person to submit a privacy request on your behalf.

We may require:

• Proof of authorization
• Verification of your identity
• Verification of the authorized agent

This process helps prevent unauthorized disclosure or deletion of personal information.

29. Non-Discrimination

Where applicable law provides this right, we will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

This means we will not deny legally protected rights solely because you submitted a valid privacy request.

30. Children’s Privacy

geadwr.com is intended for general online retail use and is not directed to children under the age required for independent consent under applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where parental consent is legally required.

If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, contact:

support@geadwr.com

We will review the matter and take appropriate action where required.

31. International Visitors

Geadwr currently sells and ships products only within the United States.

However, the website may technically be accessible from other locations.

If you access the website from outside the United States, information may be processed in the United States or other locations used by our service providers, subject to applicable law.

32. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" settings.

Because there is not a universally adopted technical standard for all Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track request.

Where legally required privacy preference signals are recognized, we will handle them according to applicable requirements.

33. Global Privacy Control

Where applicable law requires recognition of supported privacy preference signals, including Global Privacy Control, such signals may be treated as valid opt-out requests for certain data uses.

Availability and implementation may depend on the website technology and applicable legal requirements.

34. Third-Party Websites

Our website may link to third-party websites or services.

We do not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.

Customers should review the privacy policies of those services before providing personal information.

35. Social Media and External Platforms

If you interact with Geadwr through a third-party social media platform or external service, that platform may collect information independently.

Information collected by external platforms is governed by their own privacy policies and settings.

If your information changes, please contact us when necessary so we can update relevant records.

Accurate information is particularly important for:

• Shipping
• Returns

These measures are used to protect customers and our business.
