We take care of your personal information.
This privacy policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase on www.gelwatergun.com (the "site").
The personal information we collect
When you visit the site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the site, we collect information about the various web pages or products you view, the websites or search terms that directed you to the site, and information about how you interact with the site. We call this automatically collected information "device information."
We collect information about devices using the following technologies:
- "Cookies" are data files placed on your device or computer and often include a unique anonymous identifier. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
- "Log files" track actions that occur on the site and collect data such as your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time.

Additionally, when you make or attempt to make a purchase through the site, we collect certain information about you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number.

When we talk about "personal information" in this privacy policy, we are talking about both device information and order information.
How do we use your personal information?
We generally use the order information we collect to fulfill any orders placed through the site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing invoices and/or order confirmations). Additionally, we use this Order Information to:
- Communicate with you;
- Review our orders for potential risks or fraud; and
- When consistent with the preferences you have shared with us, provide you with information or advertising related to our products or services.
We use the device information we collect to help us detect potential risks and fraud (in particular, your IP address) and, more generally, to improve and optimize our site (for example, by generating analytics on how our customers browse and interact with the site, and to evaluate the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
