Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 17, 2026

Introduction

GuardReady is operated by Storevia Limited. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit https://guardready.us, place an order, create an account, contact us, subscribe to communications, or otherwise use our website, products, and related services.

Our online store is hosted by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce platform that enables us to offer our products and services.

This Privacy Policy applies to information processed by GuardReady. Shopify and other service providers may also process personal information under their own privacy policies.

If this Privacy Policy conflicts with our Terms of Service regarding the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information, this Privacy Policy will control for that subject. Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits any privacy right that cannot legally be waived.

Personal Information

“Personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can reasonably be linked to an individual or household.

Personal information does not generally include information that has been lawfully made public or information that has been aggregated or de-identified so that it cannot reasonably be linked to an individual.

The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with GuardReady, the services you use, your location, and the choices you make.

Information You Provide Directly

We may collect information you provide when you place an order, create an account, request support, submit a return, join a mailing list, submit a review, or otherwise communicate with us.

Reviews, photographs, comments, questions, and other submissions.

Any other information you voluntarily provide.

Please do not send passwords, complete payment card numbers, government identification numbers, health information, or other unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary email.

Payment Information

Payments may be processed by Shopify, payment gateways, banks, card networks, fraud-prevention providers, or other financial service providers.

These providers may collect payment card numbers, expiration dates, security codes, billing details, financial account information, authentication information, and transaction details.

GuardReady generally receives limited payment-related information, such as:

Payment status.
Payment method type.
Billing name and address.
Transaction identifier.
Fraud or verification status.
Partial card information, such as the last four digits.

Payment providers process information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit or use our website, Shopify and other authorized technologies may automatically collect information such as:

IP address.
Browser type and version.
Device type and operating system.
Device and cookie identifiers.
Network and internet-service information.
Approximate location derived from an IP address.
Referring and exit pages.
Pages and products viewed.
Search activity.
Shopping cart activity.
Dates and times of visits.
Links, buttons, advertisements, and features used.
Website errors, performance data, and security events.
Advertising and analytics identifiers.
Consent and privacy-preference information.

This information may be collected using cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, server logs, analytics tools, and similar technologies.

Understand customer interests and marketing performance.

Where consent is required for marketing, advertising cookies, or similar technologies, we will request consent through the applicable mechanism.

You may unsubscribe from promotional email using the unsubscribe link in the message. Opting out of marketing does not stop order confirmations, delivery notices, safety messages, policy notices, or other non-promotional communications.

Legal and Business Purposes

Respond to valid legal requests, court orders, subpoenas, and governmental inquiries.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable data-protection law requires a legal basis, we may process personal information based on:

Contractual necessity: To process an order, receive payment, arrange delivery, provide support, or perform another service you request.

Legal obligation: To comply with tax, accounting, consumer-protection, privacy, product-safety, customs, sanctions, or other legal requirements.

Legitimate interests: To operate and improve the store, prevent fraud, maintain security, provide customer service, manage disputes, and protect our business, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.

Consent: For optional cookies, targeted advertising, certain marketing communications, or other processing where consent is required.

You may withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before withdrawal.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients.

Shopify

Shopify hosts and supports our ecommerce store. Information submitted through GuardReady may be transmitted to and processed by Shopify.

Shopify may process information to provide checkout, account, fraud-prevention, analytics, advertising, payment, and other commerce services. In some circumstances, Shopify acts as our service provider. In other circumstances, Shopify may process information for its own purposes under its privacy policy.

Information about Shopify’s processing and privacy controls is available through the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policy and the Shopify Privacy Portal at https://privacy.shopify.com/en.

Suppliers and Fulfillment Providers

To fulfill an order, we may provide a product supplier, distributor, warehouse, or fulfillment provider with information reasonably necessary to process and deliver the order.

This information may include:

Customer name.
Shipping address.
Telephone number.
Email address when required for delivery.
Products ordered.
Order instructions.
Shipping method.

Suppliers and fulfillment providers are not authorized by us to use this information for unrelated marketing.

Payment and Fraud Prevention Providers

We may disclose information to payment gateways, card networks, banks, financial institutions, identity-verification providers, and fraud-prevention services to process payments, authenticate transactions, prevent fraud, and manage disputes or chargebacks.

Shipping and Delivery Providers

We may disclose contact, address, order, and delivery information to carriers, couriers, postal services, customs representatives, and delivery-management providers.

Technology and Business Service Providers

We may use providers that support:

Website hosting and infrastructure.
Cloud storage.
Customer service.
Email and communication delivery.
Data analysis.
Cybersecurity.
Website performance.
Recordkeeping.
Professional legal, accounting, or compliance services.

These providers receive information only as reasonably necessary to perform their assigned services, subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.

Advertising and Analytics Partners

Where permitted by law and consistent with your privacy choices, advertising and analytics partners may collect or receive device identifiers, cookie information, IP address, approximate location, browsing activity, products viewed, cart activity, purchase-related events, and advertising interactions.

Certain disclosures for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising may be legally defined as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information even when no money is paid for the information.

GuardReady does not knowingly sell personal information for direct monetary payment. However, some advertising-related disclosures may be treated as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

You may review and exercise applicable opt-out rights through our Your Privacy Choices page.

Legal Disclosures and Business Transfers

We may disclose personal information:

When required by applicable law or valid legal process.
To investigate fraud, security incidents, unlawful activity, or policy violations.
To protect the rights, property, or safety of GuardReady, customers, service providers, or others.
In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, bankruptcy, restructuring, sale, or transfer of all or part of the business.
With your direction, authorization, or consent.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files placed on a browser or device. We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to:

Keep the website and checkout functioning.
Remember preferences and cart contents.
Maintain account sessions.
Protect accounts and prevent fraud.
Measure traffic and website performance.
Understand how visitors use the store.
Personalize content.
Measure and deliver advertising.

Cookies may include:

Strictly necessary cookies: Required for security, checkout, shopping carts, account functions, and core website operation.

Functional cookies: Used to remember settings and provide enhanced features.

Analytics cookies: Used to measure traffic, performance, and customer interactions.

Advertising cookies: Used to measure campaigns or present advertising based on activity across websites or services.

Where required, non-essential cookies will be used only after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

You may manage available choices through our cookie or privacy preference controls and browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect website functionality.

Deleting cookies may also delete stored preferences, requiring you to make your selection again.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track

Where required by applicable law, we recognize a valid opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of activities defined as the sale or sharing of personal information or targeted advertising.

A preference signal generally applies to the browser and device from which it is sent. If we can reasonably associate the signal with an account, applicable law may require the preference to be extended to that account.

Except for legally recognized opt-out preference signals, our website may not respond to ordinary “Do Not Track” browser signals because there is no universally accepted technical standard for those signals.

Additional information is provided on our Your Privacy Choices page.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may depend on:

How long an account or customer relationship remains active.
The time needed to process an order, delivery, return, refund, warranty, or dispute.
Tax, customs, accounting, and recordkeeping requirements.
Fraud-prevention and security needs.
Product-safety and recall obligations.
Contractual requirements.
Applicable statutes of limitation.
Actual or anticipated legal claims.
Backup and disaster-recovery cycles.
Your privacy and communication preferences.

Order and transaction records may be retained for the legally required accounting, tax, dispute-resolution, and compliance periods.

Marketing information may be retained until you unsubscribe or we no longer have a lawful business need for it. We may retain a limited suppression record after an unsubscribe request to ensure that the preference continues to be respected.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely isolate it, subject to legal and technical limitations.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These measures may include access controls, secure connections, authentication measures, fraud monitoring, service-provider reviews, and restricted access to information.

No security method, internet transmission, or storage system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Customers are responsible for protecting account credentials and should notify us promptly if they suspect unauthorized account activity.

Do not send confidential information through an unsecured communication channel.

International Data Transfers

GuardReady is operated by Storevia Limited in Hong Kong and uses service providers that may operate in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, and other jurisdictions.

As a result, personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in a country different from the country where you live. Privacy laws in those countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we or our relevant service providers may rely on recognized mechanisms such as:

An adequacy decision.
Standard contractual clauses.
The United Kingdom International Data Transfer Agreement or approved addendum.
Contractual and organizational safeguards.
Another legally recognized transfer mechanism.

You may contact us for additional information about applicable transfer safeguards, subject to legal and confidentiality limitations.

Third Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites, social-media platforms, payment services, or other services operated by third parties.

We do not control the privacy, security, content, or practices of independent third-party services. Visiting or using those services is subject to their respective policies and terms.

The presence of a link does not necessarily mean that GuardReady sponsors, endorses, or controls the linked service.

Information posted in a public review, social-media comment, or other public area may be visible and used by other people. Do not post information you do not want publicly disclosed.

Children’s Privacy

GuardReady is not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 should not provide personal information through the website.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without legally required parental authorization. We also do not knowingly sell or share, as defined by applicable law, the personal information of individuals under 16 where affirmative authorization is required.

Purchases must be made by a person who has reached the age of legal majority in their jurisdiction. A minor may use a product only with legally appropriate adult authorization and supervision.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to GuardReady, contact us at mniyvasr@gmail.com. We may take reasonable steps to verify the requester’s identity and parental or guardianship authority before deleting information.

If you withdraw consent, the withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before the withdrawal.
