Items purchased from CargoGear are shipped from warehouses across the country. To fill your order, your shipping information including your name and address may be transmitted via email or fax to the warehouse that ships your items and/or to the shipping company (e.g. UPS, FEDEX, USPS) that delivers your order. Financial information collected is never shared with any other warehouse or shipping organization.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We may aggregate and analyze non identifying information that you provide during the ordering process. For example, we may analyze the geographic distribution of our customers by aggregating State or ZIP code information.

Correspondence
CargoGear does not send unsolicited (SPAM) email, or rent or sell email lists. CargoGear does not sell or distribute customer information in any way that is unrelated to the processing or your order.
