In a language that you have a chance of understanding...



We will never give your data to anybody else for any purpose. We will only send you emails or txts about how to make the most of GearLog and you can turn those off on your profile page. We encrypt (i.e scramble up) sensitive data like passwords.That means that in the highly unlikely event of our systems being attacked your confidential information would be protected. None of our staff can decrypt (unscramble) your sensitive information. If you want us to delete your account or you would like a copy of your data - just drop us an email: info@gearlog.org


We have put a lot of effort into making our systems very tough and reliable but - we take no responsibility (nill, zip, nada) for anything that happens to you should we have issues with our site or your data.


Our free platform is only made possible by the users who chose to pay for the paid platform. We fully reserve the right to move features from free to paid and to adjust free account limits to ensure the overall viability of GearLog for all our users. The fact that something is free in the platform now is not a guarantee that it will always be free.
