Privacy Policy

At Catch And Reel Store, we understand that serious anglers value their privacy as much as they value premium fishing gear. Just as you trust us with your fishing equipment needs, we take the responsibility of protecting your personal information with the same level of care and precision as we design our high-performance fishing systems.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide better services to all our anglers:

• Personal Information: When you make a purchase, we collect your name, email address, shipping address, payment information, and contact details – the essentials to get your gear to you securely.
• Transaction Data: Details about purchases you’ve made (like those Daiwa rods or boat combos) and payment methods used.
• Technical Information: IP address, browser type, and device information to improve your browsing experience.
• Usage Data: How you interact with our site – which assist hooks or braid lines you view, helping us stock the products serious anglers need.
• Communication Data: When you contact our team about big game fishing equipment or payment questions.

2. How We Use Your Information

Like a well-tuned reel, we use your data precisely and purposefully:

• Process your orders for boat rods, reels, or other fishing systems efficiently
• Provide customer support for tournament anglers and deep-sea fishermen
• Improve our product offerings based on what dedicated hobbyists need
• Send service-related communications (order confirmations, shipping updates)
• Prevent fraud and enhance security – because we take payment protection as seriously as you take your gear
• With your consent, send information about new assist rigs or Daiwa products that match your fishing style

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We treat your data like premium fishing line – with care and only shared when absolutely necessary:

• Service Providers: Trusted partners who help with payment processing (like PayPal), shipping, and IT services – all held to strict confidentiality.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights, similar to how we’d handle a big game fishing regulation.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, your information may be transferred, but your privacy remains protected.

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

4. International Data Transfers

As a global fishing gear provider (excluding some regions), your data may be transferred internationally. We ensure all transfers comply with applicable data protection laws, using standard contractual clauses when needed.

5. Data Security

We protect your data with the same level of security we’d expect for our own:

• 256-bit SSL encryption – bank-level security for all transactions
• Regular security audits by independent experts
• Payment details never stored on our servers
• Secure access controls to personal data

6. Your Rights

You have control over your personal information:

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data we hold
• Correction: Update inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion: Request erasure of your personal data under certain circumstances
• Objection: Opt-out of certain processing activities
• Restriction: Limit how we use your data
• Portability: Receive your data in a structured format

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We’ll respond within 30 days, just as promptly as we ship our boat rod combos.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Like carefully selected terminal tackle, we use cookies purposefully:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for our store to function (like keeping items in your cart while you browse our assist hooks selection)
• Performance Cookies: Help us improve how our site works
• Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences (like currency selection for international anglers)
• Marketing Cookies: With your consent, help show relevant ads for fishing gloves or baitcaster reels

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features, much like using the wrong line affects casting performance.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our products and services are designed for serious anglers aged 18+. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy occasionally, just as we update our fishing gear selection. Significant changes will be communicated to our customers – because we value transparency as much as you value quality tackle.
