My Commitment To Privacy

Your right to privacy is very important.  RecreationalKnivesAndFlashlights.com recognizes that when you choose to provide me with information about yourself, you trust me to act in a responsible manner.  I believe this information should only be used to help me provide you with better service.  That's why I have put a policy in place to protect your private information.

The Information I Collect

In general, when you visit my website and access information you remain anonymous (see Cookie information below).  However, I collect personal information for three reasons (all information will remain strictly confidential):

1. Ordering Products:

When ordering a product from RecreationalKnivesAndFlashlights.com, I request shipping information such as your name, street address, email address, and telephone number.  This information will remain confidential and will only be used to ship you your product.  I also request billing information, however you may choose whether to submit your billing information (credit card number, etc.) over the internet.  If you choose not to submit billing information online you may submit credit card information, a money order, a cashier's check, or a personal check via postal mail.  However, this will lengthen the time it takes for you to receive your item(s).  Your billing information will remain confidential and will only be used to process your order request.

2. Submitting Feedback:

If you have a question or concern, you may submit feedback via my contact page.  I request your name and email address in order to respond to your comments.  This information will remain confidential and will not be used for other purposes.

3. Marketing Purposes:

If you choose to use the "email this page to a friend" feature, I request the name and email of said person only to complete said task.  This information will remain confidential and will be used for no other purpose.  If you choose to register for my newsletter by using my "sign up for my newsletter" feature, I request a name and email address in order to activate said feature.  This information will remain confidential and will not be used for any other purpose.

Customer Tracking

This website utilizes a web statistics module to track the traffic on this website.

In order to track this traffic the module uses the visitors IP address and other non-personal information.  Basically when someone visits this site the following types of information can be recorded: the visitor's IP address, when the visitor visited the site and for how long, the page the visitor landed on when he/she found this site, the page the visitor was on when he/she left this site, the internet browser the visitor used when visiting this site (e.g. explorer 6, firefox, etc.), the operating system the visitor used (e.g. Windows XP, 2000, etc.), the internet service provider utilized by the visitor (e.g. bresnan, verizon, comcast, etc.), the number of pages viewed by the visitor, the number of orders placed by the visitor, and the total value of any orders placed by the visitor.  If the visitor used a link from a different website to get to this site, the referring site's URL is recorded.  If the visitor used a search engine to find this site, the search engine is recorded (e.g. yahoo, google, msn, etc.) along with the keywords used by the search engine.  The tracking module then uses this type of information to generate various statistical reports.

Please contact me should you need more information about my tracking module.  I will be more than happy to address any questions and/or concerns you have.

My Commitment to Data Security

If you choose to submit your billing information online, I have put in place appropriate physical procedures to safeguard and secure the information I collect online.

Also, when requested, any information that has been gathered about a particular visitor/customer can be removed from my database.

My Commitment to Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important.  For that reason, I never collect or maintain information at my website from those I actually know are under age 13, and no part of my website is structured to attact anyone under age 13.  If those under the age of 13 wish to order a product, their parents or young adults over 13, who have their parents permission, need to order the product(s) for them.  Note: If the item you are ordering is a knife, axe, machete, or sword you must be at least 18 years of age.

Information Disclosures

I will disclose personal information when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• Conform to the law or comply with a legal process served on us;
• Protect and defend the rights or property of my sites, or visitors to my sites;
• Identify persons who may be violating the law, or the rights of third parties;
• Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities.
