🛡️ PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: February 7, 2026

At RunSafeGear.com, operated by LevelUpESP LLC, we believe that preparation is the key to success. That principle extends beyond the trail and into how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our site to explore the latest in running safety and endurance gear.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to ensure you have the best experience possible:

  • Voluntary Information: This includes your name and email address if you choose to sign up for our newsletter.
  • Automated Information (Cookies): Just like checking your gear before a run, we prioritize site performance. We use cookies to analyze traffic and site speed, which helps us deliver better gear reviews and faster browsing. These are small data files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences.
  • Log Data: Like most professional sites, we collect standard log files (IP addresses, browser type, and time stamps) to analyze trends and administer the site. This data is not linked to personally identifiable information.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the intel we gather to:

  • Deliver the safety guides and updates you’ve requested.
  • Optimize the site layout to ensure our “Run Safe. Be Safe.” mission is accessible and fast.
  • Monitor the effectiveness of our gear reviews and technical deep dives.

3. Affiliate & Third-Party Disclosures

RunSafeGear.com is a participant in affiliate marketing programs, including the Aspire, Commission Junction, Impact Network, Amazon Associates and others.

  • Tracking: When you click on a link to a vendor (such as Garmin, REI, or Byrna), our partners use cookies to track the referral. This ensures we receive a small commission—at no extra cost to you—which helps fund our independent gear testing.
  • Independence: Our reviews are based on thousands of miles of field testing. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to these third parties for their marketing purposes.

4. Data Security

As an athlete, you know the importance of a secure perimeter. We implement standard security measures to protect your email address and browsing data. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We do our part to keep the “trail” safe, but we encourage users to maintain their own digital security protocols.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have full control over your data:

  • Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from our safety updates at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of any email.
  • Cookie Management: You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may impact the speed and performance of your browsing experience on our site.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our content is designed for adult endurance athletes and safety-conscious individuals. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this “Safety Manual” from time to time to reflect changes in our gear testing or legal requirements. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
