Your Privacy, Plain and Simple
Let’s be honest: nobody restores a vintage trailer because they enjoy paperwork—and nobody reads privacy pages for fun. So here’s ours, written like a real conversation.
At Vintage Trailer Gaskets, we respect your privacy for the same reason we respect original aluminum skins, correct window profiles, and proper seals: doing it right matters. You trust us with your project, and sometimes that means trusting us with a bit of personal information too. We don’t take that lightly.
What We Collect (and Why)
When you browse our site, place an order, or contact us, we may collect information like:
-
Your name, email address, shipping and billing details
-
Order information so we can actually send you the right parts
-
Basic technical information (browser type, device, IP address) so the site works properly
That’s it. No hidden agendas, no mystery data scraping.
If you check out as a guest, we use your information only to complete that order. We don’t quietly turn guest checkouts into accounts, and we don’t save that data beyond what’s required for records and support.
Emails (or, Why We’re Pretty Quiet)
We don’t believe in filling your inbox just to stay “top of mind.” To our own detriment, we do not send regular updates, campaigns, or constant reminders.
Our approach is simple: we rely on the quality of our products, our experience, and our reputation among serious vintage trailer restorers. When you need the right gasket, seal, or profile—and you want it done correctly—you already know where to come.
Here’s what that means in practice:
-
You’ll receive emails about your order and its status—always.
-
No newsletters. No drip campaigns. No marketing noise.
If and when we do reach out, it’s because we have something genuinely useful to share—not because a calendar told us to.
Cookies (the Digital Kind)
Like you, we like milk with our cookies. Unfortunately, the internet doesn’t work that way.
Cookies are simply part of modern e-commerce. They help the site function correctly—remembering your cart, keeping your session stable, and making sure checkout works the way it should. Without them, things break. Plain and simple.
We use cookies for functionality, not for spying on you or following you around the internet. If you disable cookies entirely, the site may still load, but key features may not work properly—and checkout may not work at all.
They’re not optional if you want a smooth experience, but they’re also not doing anything sneaky. Just the basics, doing their job.
Payments & Security
We never store your full credit card information.
Payments are handled by trusted, secure payment processors built for e-commerce. We only receive confirmation that your payment was approved so we can ship your order and support you if needed.
We take reasonable, modern security measures to protect your information. That said, no system on the internet is invincible. Sharing information online always involves some risk—but we do our part to minimize it.
Who We Share Information With (and Who We Don’t)
We do not sell your data. Ever.
We share information only with partners who help us run the business, such as:
-
Payment processors
-
Shipping carriers
-
Hosting and infrastructure providers
They receive only what’s necessary to do their job—and nothing more.
If the law requires us to share information (for example, a valid court order), we’ll comply. Otherwise, your information stays where it belongs.
Reviews, Questions, and Other Interactions
If you leave a review, submit a question, or participate in a survey or promotion, that’s always voluntary. Any information you share is used to improve the store, support customers, or respond to you directly.
External Links
Our site may include links to other websites. Once you leave our site, their privacy practices apply—not ours. We encourage you to read their policies if privacy matters to you (and it should).
Children
This site is built for adults restoring trailers—not for kids. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 13.
