What personal data does Garmin collect?

Garmin makes products that are engineered on the inside for life on the outside. We ask for personal data — such as your name, email address, location, and other information — so you can sign in to your account, receive personalized support, receive important safety information about your devices, and get the most out of our products.

When You Make a Garmin Account

Garmin stores information such as your name, email address, and password so you can sign in. It also helps us verify your account if you call customer support.

When You Sync Devices

When you sync devices, data such as your IP address, sync time and date, and battery level will be uploaded to Garmin.

When You Buy Products or Subscriptions

When you buy products or subscriptions through our website, stores, or apps, we ask for information such as your name, address, phone number, and other information needed to collect your payment and fulfill your order. We have a third party process your payment information, but Garmin does not store your payment card details.

Sometimes we need to collect your device’s location. That makes it a lot easier to tell you about things such as weather in your area, nearby traffic, and even movie prices near you.

When You Use Auto Navigation

With your consent, Garmin collects information that includes location, direction, and speed to help with features such as parking and traffic.

When You Contact Garmin

We know you might want to stay off the grid, but we may collect things such as your contact, device, or subscription information during support calls to ensure that you get the help you need.
