Privacy Policy

Garmin places a strong emphasis on safeguarding personal information and is dedicated to explaining clearly how data is collected, used, and protected across its products, services, websites, and applications. Whenever you register for a Garmin account, interact with Garmin devices, visit Garmin-operated platforms, or contact customer support, certain information may be processed to ensure services function properly and to improve your overall experience. This approach allows Garmin to deliver dependable solutions while giving you clarity and confidence about how your information is handled.

Information is collected only when it serves a legitimate purpose related to providing or improving services. Basic details such as your name, email address, and contact information may be requested so that you can create and manage an account, receive important notifications, and access customer support. Account credentials enable secure sign-in and protect against unauthorized access. In addition, technical information may be transmitted when devices connect or synchronize, including IP address, device identifiers, timestamps, and operational status. These data points help maintain product performance, diagnose issues, and ensure reliable connectivity.

When you purchase Garmin products or enroll in subscription-based services through Garmin platforms or authorized channels, certain transaction-related information is required to process your order. This may include shipping address and contact details. Payment transactions are handled by trusted third-party payment processors, and Garmin does not store full credit or debit card numbers. This layered approach helps reduce risk and supports secure purchasing.

Some Garmin features rely on location information in order to function as intended. With your consent, location data may be used to provide navigation guidance, traffic updates, weather information, and nearby points of interest. Navigation-related services may also collect information such as speed, direction, and route data to improve routing accuracy, parking assistance, and traffic flow insights. You remain in control of these features and can manage location permissions through your device or account settings.

If you contact Garmin for technical assistance or customer support, relevant information about your account, device, or subscription may be collected to better understand and resolve the issue. This ensures that support interactions are efficient and tailored to your specific situation. Garmin limits this collection to what is necessary for providing assistance and does not use support data for unrelated purposes.

The information Garmin processes is used for practical and transparent reasons. It helps communicate product updates, safety alerts, account changes, and important service information. Contact details may also be used to share news about new features, software releases, or optional promotional offers, depending on your communication preferences. Usage data from websites and applications helps Garmin understand how users interact with digital platforms, enabling improvements in design, performance, and content relevance.

Garmin websites and applications may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance functionality and personalize content. These tools help identify which pages are most useful, measure the effectiveness of marketing efforts, and highlight areas where improvements are needed. The purpose is to create digital experiences that are efficient, informative, and aligned with user interests.

Garmin does not sell personal information. Data is shared only when necessary and with appropriate protections in place. This may include sharing information with service providers that assist with order fulfillment, payment processing, email communications, or technical operations. Information may also be shared within Garmin’s global group of companies to ensure consistent service and support worldwide. In all cases, Garmin applies the same privacy and security standards. Personal information may be disclosed if required by law or in response to valid legal requests.

You maintain control over your personal data. Garmin provides account management tools that allow you to view, update, and manage your information, as well as exercise applicable privacy rights. Garmin is committed to respecting your choices and providing clear options for how your data is used. If you have questions or concerns about privacy practices, you may contact support@garmin.com or call (626)502-6376. Through transparency, responsible data handling, and strong security measures, Garmin works to earn and maintain your trust every time you use its products and services.
