Information We Collect
We may collect: Personal Information (name, email, phone, contact details submitted through our intake form or website), Usage Information (data on how you interact with our website, catalogs, or emails), and Transaction Information (payment details necessary for affiliate payouts via PayPal or other agreed-upon methods).
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to provide and improve our services, create and distribute affiliate catalogs, communicate with you about onboarding and updates, track affiliate link performance and calculate payouts, and comply with legal obligations.

Cookies & Affiliate Tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve our services. In addition, GearBook participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click an affiliate link on a guide catalog page, third-party affiliate networks — including Impact.com (Impact Radius), AvantLink, and their retail partners such as Backcountry.com and Evo.com — may place tracking cookies on your device to attribute purchases back to GearBook. These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of those third parties. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though some site features may not function properly. By using this site, you consent to the use of affiliate tracking cookies as described here.
Affiliate Link Disclosure
GearBook earns commissions through affiliate marketing programs. Guide catalog pages at gearbook.shop/catalog/[guide] contain affiliate links to products on third-party retailers. When you click these links and make a purchase, GearBook and/or the featured guide may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. We only feature gear that guides genuinely recommend and use in their professional work.
