This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit Tech Gear Garage, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.
Who We Are
Our website is Tech Gear Garage, located at: https://techgeargarage.com/

This information may be used to operate the website, understand how visitors use our content, improve our website, measure marketing performance, and protect against fraud or abuse.
Analytics
Tech Gear Garage may use analytics services, including Google Analytics, to better understand how visitors find and interact with our website.
These services may collect information such as pages viewed, traffic sources, devices used, approximate location, interactions, and other website usage information.
Analytics information is used to measure website performance, understand audience interests, improve content, and make better business and marketing decisions.
Pinterest API Integration
Tech Gear Garage may connect to Pinterest through Pinterest’s official API and OAuth authorization process for internal analytics, content-performance measurement and business reporting.
When a Pinterest account is connected, we may access information authorized by the account holder and permitted by the Pinterest API, such as account information, Pins, boards and performance or analytics information.
We do not request or collect Pinterest passwords or session cookies. Access is provided through Pinterest’s authorized authentication process.
Pinterest information is used only for the purposes described in this policy and in accordance with Pinterest’s Developer Guidelines and applicable API terms. We do not sell Pinterest API data or provide it to third parties for their independent advertising or marketing purposes.
API credentials and authorization tokens are protected and are not intentionally made publicly available.
Pinterest information is retained only where permitted and for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the authorized analytics and reporting functions or comply with applicable requirements. Where Pinterest’s policies require information to be retrieved directly from the API rather than stored, the information will be retrieved as needed.
A connected Pinterest account may revoke authorization through Pinterest where available. When authorization is revoked, we will cease accessing that account through the Pinterest API and handle retained information in accordance with applicable Pinterest requirements and this Privacy Policy.
