Privacy Policy

This policy explains how The Gym Rack collects, uses, and protects your personal information. We take your privacy seriously.

1. Who We Are

The Gym Rack is a UK-based reseller of authentic premium gym wear. We operate through Vinted, a third-party marketplace platform. When you purchase from us, your transaction and payment data are handled by Vinted under their own privacy policy and security standards.

We collect only the information necessary to fulfil your order and communicate with you:

  • Name and delivery address — provided by you through Vinted at checkout.
  • Contact details — email and phone number for delivery and order updates.
  • Purchase history — records of items bought for customer service and returns.
  • Messages — correspondence through Vinted or our contact form.

We do not collect or store payment card details. All payments are processed securely by Vinted.

We use your information solely to:

  • Process and dispatch your orders.
