Privacy Policy

At Hot Sale Angling Store, we value your privacy as much as we value the perfect cast. Just as we carefully select premium fishing gear for our dedicated anglers, we handle your personal information with the utmost care and security. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit fishingoutsports.com.

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with tournament-quality service, we collect:

• Personal Information: When you make a purchase, we collect your name, email address, shipping address, and payment details – handled with the same precision as our premium freshwater reels.
• Order Information: Details about the fishing equipment you purchase, whether it’s bladed jigs, casting rods, or paddle tail swimbaits.
• Technical Data: Like selecting the right line for different conditions, we collect IP addresses, browser type, and device information to optimize your experience.
• Communication Data: Any messages you send us about our products or your orders.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data with the same care we use when packaging delicate fishing lures:

• To process and ship your orders of specialized fishing equipment worldwide (excluding some remote areas)
• To provide customer support for anglers with questions about our products
• To improve our website and product offerings – much like refining our selection of crankbaits and chatterbaits
• To send you relevant fishing content and offers (only with your consent)
• To prevent fraud and ensure payment security

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We treat your information with the same confidentiality as tournament fishing spots:

• Service Providers: We share necessary information with payment processors (like PayPal and card networks) and shipping carriers to fulfill your orders.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, similar to following fishing regulations.
• Business Transfers: If Hot Sale Angling Store is involved in a merger or acquisition, customer information may be transferred.

We never sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

4. Data Storage and Security

We protect your data with security as strong as our premium fishing line:

• Your information is stored on secure servers with bank-level encryption
• Payment details are processed through PCI-compliant systems – we never store complete card information
• Regular security audits ensure our systems remain protected
• Data is retained only as long as necessary to serve you or meet legal requirements

As an angler controls their gear, you have control over your data:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal information we hold
• Correction: Update inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion: Request removal of your personal data (subject to legal requirements)
• Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time
• Restriction: Limit how we use your information in certain circumstances

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like carefully selecting lures for different conditions, we use cookies to enhance your experience:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for our website to function, like remembering items in your cart
• Performance Cookies: Help us improve our site, similar to refining our selection of jigs and frogs
• Marketing Cookies: Used with your consent to show relevant ads for fishing gear

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

7. International Data Transfers

Just as we ship fishing equipment globally (excluding some remote areas), your data may be transferred internationally. We ensure all transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 16. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from young anglers without parental consent.
