Scope and Who This Policy Applies To
This privacy policy governs the information practices for the Super Swamper website, located at super-swamper.com. It applies to all visitors, users, and anyone who accesses or uses the site to explore our line of off-road tires. The policy covers personal and non-personal data collected through our web pages, forms, and automated technologies. Our core focus is providing off-road enthusiasts with trusted information about traction solutions like the TSL, SSR, and Bogger tire models.
Super Swamper is a product line of Interco Tire Corporation. We communicate as experts to fellow enthusiasts who demand maximum grip in mud, rocks, and sand. This policy details how we handle data gathered when you browse our tire specifications, check sizes for your truck or ATV, or contact us for product advice. It does not apply to offline practices or to any third-party websites you reach through external links on our site.
Information Visitors Provide Directly
When you engage with Super Swamper, you may choose to share personal information. This typically happens through contact forms, product inquiry forms, or newsletter sign-ups. The specific data we collect depends on the action you take.
Common Examples
- Contact Inquiries: If you email us or use a contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the message you send. This helps us respond to questions about tire fitment or performance in specific conditions.
- Newsletter Sign-ups: When subscribing to product updates, we collect your email address. This is used only to send information about new tire models, off-road events, or maintenance tips.
- Comments and Feedback: If you leave a comment on a product page, we may collect your name or alias, along with the content you post.
We request only the information necessary to handle your request. You are not required to provide personal data to browse our general content about off-road traction.
Information Collected Automatically
As you navigate super-swamper.com, certain data is collected automatically to ensure the site functions properly and to understand usage patterns. This data is typically non-personal but may be linked to your IP address.
Our servers log standard web data each time you request a page. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the time of your visit. The referring website address, if any, is also noted. This technical information helps us diagnose issues, manage security, and improve site performance for all users researching off-road tires.
We also track which pages you visit on our site, such as viewing the TSL tire specifications or browsing different 35-inch tire sizes. This aggregated data shows us which products generate the most interest among off-road drivers and helps us organize content more effectively.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Super Swamper uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They serve several functions on our site.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function. They enable basic features like page navigation and access to secure areas. The website cannot work properly without these cookies.
- Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They show us which tire model pages are most viewed.
- Preference Cookies: These allow the site to remember choices you make, such as your preferred tire size filter, to provide enhanced, more personal features.
Similar technologies include web beacons and pixel tags. We may use these in emails to track open rates and click-throughs, helping us gauge interest in specific off-road promotions.
Analytics and Site-Performance Measurement
We use analytics services to measure and analyze traffic on super-swamper.com. These tools collect information about your visit, including the pages you viewed and the links you clicked. The data is aggregated, meaning it is presented in a form that does not identify you personally.
This analysis is critical for our technical team. It reveals performance bottlenecks, such as slow-loading pages with high-resolution images of tire tread patterns. By understanding these patterns, we can optimize the site to load faster for off-road enthusiasts researching products on various devices, from desktops in the garage to mobile phones on the trailhead.
The insights gained help us prioritize content creation. If data shows significant interest in our ATV and UTV tire lineup, we can develop more detailed guides and fitment charts for those specific vehicles and applications.
Purposes for Using Information
The information we collect serves specific, direct purposes related to operating the Super Swamper website and supporting our off-road community.
We use personal data you provide to fulfill requests. This includes answering questions about tire load ratings, responding to fitment inquiries for specific truck models, or sending requested newsletters. Your information is never used for purposes unrelated to these activities without your consent.
Automatically collected data is used to maintain and improve the website. It helps us secure our systems against threats, optimize page loading for large product catalogs, and ensure compatibility across different browsers. The overall goal is to provide a reliable, fast resource where you can confidently select the right aggressive tread for your next adventure.
Legal Bases Where Applicable
Our processing of your information is grounded in specific legal bases where required by law, such as under the GDPR for visitors in the European Economic Area.

- Contractual Necessity: When you submit a product inquiry, we process your information as necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a potential contract, like providing a custom tire recommendation.
- Legitimate Interests: We may process data for our legitimate interests, such as analyzing site usage to improve our content and security, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights.
We rely on these principles to handle your data responsibly while delivering the expert information you expect from a trusted off-road tire source.

External Product Links and Third-Party Websites
Our content may contain links to external sites, such as manufacturer pages, off-road retailers, or event organizers. This policy does not govern the practices of any third-party websites.

We regularly review our data holdings and securely delete information that is no longer required for operational or legal purposes.
Security Practices and Limitations
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. This includes using secure server protocols and restricting internal access to sensitive data on a need-to-know basis.
No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
