Privacy Policy

Welcome to Fly Tyer Pro Sales (www.flytyerpro.com). We’re as committed to protecting your personal data as we are to providing premium fly fishing gear. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or make a purchase.

1. Information We Collect

Like carefully selecting the right tippet for your fly, we only collect information necessary to serve you better:

• Personal Information: When you make a purchase, we collect your name, email address, shipping address, payment details, and phone number (optional for shipping updates).
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited—helping us improve your browsing experience.
• Cookies Data: Small data files that enhance site functionality (see Section 6 for details).

2. How We Use Your Information

We handle your data with the precision of a perfectly balanced fly rod:

• Process and fulfill your orders for flies, reels, rods, and technical gear
• Provide customer support and respond to inquiries at [email protected]
• Improve our website and product offerings based on usage patterns
• Send order confirmations and shipping notifications (you may opt out of marketing communications)
• Prevent fraud and enhance payment security (we never store full credit card details)

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We’re more selective about sharing data than choosing fly line weight:

• Service Providers: Trusted partners who assist with payment processing (PayPal, Stripe), shipping carriers, and IT services—all under strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: Only when necessary to comply with laws or protect our rights.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, with appropriate privacy protections.

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

4. Data Storage and Security

We protect your data with the same diligence as our 256-bit SSL encrypted payments:

• All transactions comply with PCI-DSS standards
• Sensitive payment data is processed through secure gateways (we never store full credit card numbers)
• Regular security audits of our systems
• Data stored on secure servers with limited access

While we implement robust security measures, no internet transmission is 100% secure. International anglers should note data may be transferred outside their home country.

5. Your Rights

You have control over your personal data, just like adjusting your reel’s drag:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data we hold
• Correction: Update inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion: Request removal of personal data (subject to legal requirements)
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails (transactional messages still sent)
• Complaints: Lodge concerns with your local data protection authority

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We’ll respond within 30 days, just like our customer service promise.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies—small flies that help navigate your digital fishing experience:

• Essential Cookies: Required for checkout and account functions
• Performance Cookies: Help us improve site speed and functionality
• Analytics Cookies: Understand how anglers use our site (Google Analytics)
• Marketing Cookies: Show relevant ads (you may opt out)

Manage preferences through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool. Disabling cookies may affect some features.

7. International Data Transfers

Since we serve anglers worldwide (except certain Asian regions), data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. We ensure adequate protections through:

• Standard Contractual Clauses
• Privacy Shield frameworks (where applicable)
• Limited data sharing with logistics partners

8. Children’s Privacy

Our products and website are designed for anglers aged 13+. We don’t knowingly collect data from children under 13 without parental consent.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy as regulations evolve—like adapting to new fishing conditions. Significant changes will be posted on our website with updated “Last Revised” dates.

Tight lines and transparent privacy,
The Fly Tyer Pro Sales Team
