Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Hardline may receive from site visitors and customers, what Polar handles during checkout, and how we treat product and communication data.
1. Information We Collect
When you contact Hardline directly, we may receive your name, email address, and any other information you choose to include in your message.
When you make a purchase, checkout, billing, and payment details are collected and processed by Polar. We do not directly store full payment card information on this site.
2. How We Use Information
We use information to respond to inquiries, deliver purchased products, provide customer support, and maintain the security and operation of the site.
We may also use limited transaction or communication data to enforce our terms, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.
3. Polar and Third-Party Services
Purchases are handled through Polar, which may collect and process personal data as part of payment processing, tax handling, fraud screening, and order fulfillment.
Your use of Polar's services during checkout is also subject to Polar's own privacy practices and legal terms.
4. Cookies and Analytics
This site is intentionally minimal and does not rely on invasive tracking to operate. Basic server or hosting logs may still record technical data such as IP address, browser type, and request metadata for performance and security purposes.
If analytics or additional third-party tooling are added later, this policy may be updated accordingly.
5. Data Retention
We retain communications and transaction-related information only for as long as necessary to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, and meet legal or tax obligations.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal data we hold about you.
To make a privacy-related request, email contact@hardline.dev.
7. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or product changes. Continued use of the site after an update means the revised policy applies.
