Google Analytics
Gathered Goods Co. uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the website and which content and marketplace links are most useful.
Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect usage information. On this website, Google Analytics does not load at all until you choose Accept analytics. We use Google Consent Mode so Google respects your choice, and we have turned off Google advertising features, including Google signals and ad personalization.
When we record a click to a marketplace, we send details about the item (such as its name, category, price, and listing link), never details about you. We do not send your name, email address, phone number, or address to Google Analytics.
You can change or withdraw your analytics consent at any time using Cookie Settings in the website footer.
Marketplace purchases
When you click a product link and continue to Vinted, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or another third-party marketplace, you leave the Gathered Goods Co. website.
Any information you provide during checkout, including your payment details, shipping address, and marketplace account information, is collected and processed by that marketplace according to its own privacy policy and terms.
Gathered Goods Co. does not receive or store your full payment card information through this website.
Third-party links
Our website contains links to third-party websites and marketplaces.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of those third parties. Please review the privacy and terms policies of the marketplace you use before completing a transaction.

Cookies and similar technologies
Gathered Goods Co. uses a small amount of storage in your browser that the website needs to work. This includes remembering your cookie choice, keeping your Saved Finds list, and remembering the pieces you recently viewed. All of it stays in your browser on your device and is not sent to us.
Google Analytics cookies are only set if you accept analytics. You can:
- accept analytics
- decline analytics
- reopen Cookie Settings later
- change your preference at any time
Declining analytics does not affect your ability to use the website. If you withdraw consent, analytics stops and Google Analytics cookies set by this website are removed.
Data sharing
Gathered Goods Co. does not sell personal information.
Limited information may be shared with service providers that help us operate the website, such as our hosting provider and Google Analytics, and with providers of email communications or other legitimate business functions where applicable.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights.
Data retention
Information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected for, or as required by law.
Google Analytics data connected to cookies and user identifiers is kept for 14 months and then deleted automatically. Aggregated reports, which do not identify individual visitors, may be kept longer.
