Privacy Policy

At Velocity Field Gear, your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our sports gear website. Velocity Field Gear operates as an affiliate site, meaning we recommend products and earn commissions when you make purchases through links to third-party retailers. This policy was last updated in 2026.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described below. Please read this policy carefully to understand how we handle your information.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly (such as your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter) and information gathered automatically through cookies and similar technologies as you browse our site.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and remember your preferences. We use the following categories of cookies:

Essential cookies: These are necessary for the website to operate correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, security, and remembering your cookie preferences. The site cannot function properly without these cookies.
Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting anonymous, aggregated data such as which pages are most popular and how long visitors stay. This allows us to improve our content and user experience.
Affiliate cookies: As an affiliate site, we use cookies to track when you click a link to a partner retailer. These cookies allow the retailer to credit us with a commission if you complete a purchase. They do not collect sensitive personal information and are typically set by our affiliate partners.
