At Buck Knives Sales (operating via crktknivesdeals.com), we approach your privacy with the same precision and care that goes into crafting our tactical knives. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, protect, and share information when you visit our website or make purchases from our premium selection of tactical gear.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our tactical professionals and enthusiasts with seamless service, we collect:

• Personal Identification: Name, shipping/billing address, email, phone number when you place orders for items like our F-16 OTF knives or Bowie collection
• Payment Information: Credit card details (processed securely through our payment gateways), PayPal account info for premium knife purchases
• Operational Data: IP addresses, browser type, device information to maintain our military-grade website security
• Preference Data: Product interests (assisted-openers vs. fixed blades), purchase history for tactical gear recommendations
• Verification Data: For high-value purchases ($300+) or bulk orders, we may request additional identification as required by financial regulations

2. How We Use Your Information

Every piece of data is handled with tactical precision:

• Order Execution: Process transactions for your CRKT assisted-openers or Schrade survival knives with same-day shipping efficiency
• Security Operations: Implement 256-bit SSL encryption and fraud screening for all international tactical gear purchases
• Customer Service: Respond to inquiries about our Kershaw knives or Buck fixed blades with specialized knowledge
• Legal Compliance: Adhere to international knife laws and financial regulations, particularly for assisted-opening models
• Discreet Marketing: With your consent, inform you about new tactical arrivals or special offers on military-grade equipment

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We maintain operational security with strict data protocols:

• Payment Processors: Share necessary transaction details with Visa, MasterCard, JCB, and PayPal for secure processing
• Shipping Partners: Provide only essential delivery information to fulfill your tactical knife orders globally
• Legal Requirements: Disclose information when mandated by law, particularly for international tactical gear shipments
• Bulk Orders: For military/team purchases (5+ knives), verified organization details may be shared with our procurement specialists

We never sell your data to third-party marketers.

4. Data Storage & Security

We protect your information with the same rigor as our knife quality control:

• Military-Grade Encryption: 256-bit SSL for all data transmissions
• Limited Retention: Payment data is only stored as required by financial regulations
• Secure Facilities: Protected servers with strict access controls
• Fraud Prevention: Advanced screening for all international tactical equipment orders

5. Your Rights

As a valued tactical customer, you have the right to:

• Access personal data we maintain about your knife purchases
• Request correction of inaccurate information (critical for shipping tactical gear)
• Delete non-essential data (excluding transaction records required by law)
• Opt-out of marketing communications while maintaining operational alerts
• Restrict processing of sensitive payment information

6. Cookies & Tracking

We deploy these technologies with tactical precision:

• Essential Cookies: Maintain your secure session during checkout for assisted-opening knives or fixed blades
• Performance Tracking: Analyze site usage to improve our tactical gear selection
• Preference Cookies: Remember your blade type preferences (OTF vs. Bowie knives)
• Security Cookies: Detect potential threats to our military-grade ecommerce platform

You may adjust browser settings to manage cookies, though this may impact certain tactical shopping features.

7. International Considerations

For our global tactical community (excluding restricted regions):

• All data is processed in USD transactions
• Additional verification may apply for certain knife types per regional laws
• EU customers may have specific GDPR rights regarding data processing

8. Policy Updates

We may revise this policy as operational requirements evolve. Significant changes will be communicated to tactical professionals via email.
