Affiliate Disclosure

BattleStationGear is operated by PlainAgent. Many of the outbound product links on this site are affiliate links. When you click a link and complete a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. As an Amazon Associate (tag: plainagent-20) we earn from qualifying purchases. Other affiliate partners include Impact Radius, ShareASale, Awin, and direct manufacturer programs.

We never silently overwrite an affiliate tag pasted by a user. Free-tier user submissions have our platform tag applied at click-time; Pro-tier users can register their own Amazon Associates tag and that tag is used on their setups instead.

Sponsored content (brand spotlights, sponsored builds, newsletter/YouTube integrations) is always disclosed inline with the affected content.

Privacy Policy

What we collect: account email (only if you register), submission content you choose to upload, anonymous click and view analytics, and standard server access logs.

What we don’t collect: we do not sell personal data. We do not run third-party ad networks that fingerprint visitors. We do not share your email with brand partners.

Data we store on your device: standard session cookies (for sign-in) and authentication tokens issued by our auth provider. We do not use third-party tracking cookies.

To request data export or deletion, email privacy@plainagent.com.

Terms of Use

By using BattleStationGear you agree: (1) you own the rights to any photos and content you submit; (2) you grant us a non-exclusive license to display your submissions on the site, in our newsletter, and on the PlainAgent YouTube channel; (3) you will not submit content that infringes third-party rights, contains malware, or attempts to manipulate affiliate tracking.

We reserve the right to remove content that violates these terms or community guidelines. We are not responsible for prices, availability, or fulfillment of products listed on third-party retailer sites.

All trademarks and product images linked from this site remain the property of their respective owners.

Accessibility Statement

We design BattleStationGear to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA where practical. Known gaps: per-setup hotspot tooltips rely on visible markers (alt text describes the part); the calculators use color-coded compatibility indicators with text labels alongside.

Report accessibility issues to accessibility@plainagent.com. We commit to acknowledging within 5 business days and a remediation plan within 30.

Cookie Policy

We use first-party cookies only — required for sign-in sessions and CSRF protection. We do not use cross-site tracking cookies. When we add analytics, we’ll present a consent banner compliant with EU and UK guidance.
