What you should know

You should read this policy to understand what cookies are, how we use them, the types of cookies we use (ie, the information we collect using, how that information is used and how to control your preferences) and what we will not do with your data.

We provide the option to consent to cookies being used, manage your preferences and withdraw your consent at any time as required by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR – an opt-in law) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA – an opt-out law) (read more below). You can also learn more about who we are and how to contact us.

Gemini Marine Products does not sell data lists. We DO use a variety of electronic tools to help us track our performance, improve our products and serve you better. Using these tools can mean some of the data you give us is transferred to electronic companies like Google, which may legally constitute a “sale” of that data under some new data protection laws, notably under the “Do not sell my data” provisions of the CCPA. It is this use of data that we discuss here.

Your consent applies to the following domains: www.geminiproducts.net
