Who We Are

Our website address is: https://gulfstarkw.com. GulfStarKW is an e-commerce platform offering a wide range of electronic and tech-related products.

Comments & Reviews

When visitors leave comments or product reviews on the site, we collect the data shown in the form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. You can view the Gravatar privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment or review is approved, your profile picture may be visible alongside it.

Media

If you upload images to the website (e.g. for product reviews), please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors can download and extract location data from these images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment or review, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.

When you visit our login or checkout page, we may set temporary cookies to check if your browser accepts them. These contain no personal data and are discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, cookies are used to save login details and display preferences. Login cookies last for 2 days; display settings for 1 year. Selecting “Remember Me” extends login persistence to 2 weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

If you edit or publish content (e.g. a review), an extra cookie may be stored to remember the post ID. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Product pages may include embedded content (e.g. YouTube videos, payment gateway widgets). This content behaves as if you visited the third-party website directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and track interactions—especially if you are logged into their services.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We may also share information with third-party services such as:

  • Payment gateways (e.g. KNET, Visa/Mastercard, PayPal)

  • Shipping and logistics partners

  • Fraud prevention services

Only the necessary data is shared with each provider to fulfill your order securely and efficiently.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a review or comment, it and its metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize and approve future interactions automatically.

If you register or make a purchase, we store your personal data in your customer profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time (except your username). Administrators can also access and edit your data.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account or have made purchases/comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold. You may also request that we delete your personal data, except where retention is required for administrative, legal, or security reasons (e.g. order history, invoices).

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor reviews and comments may be checked by automated spam and fraud detection services. Payment data is securely handled by integrated third-party payment providers.
