Last Updated: [Insert Date]

Welcome to Fishing in Styles (“we”, “our”, or “us”). We’re passionate about providing premium fly fishing gear to anglers worldwide, and we’re equally committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website fishinginstyles.com.

1. Information We Collect

Like the careful selection of fly tying materials, we thoughtfully collect only necessary information to enhance your shopping experience:

• Personal Information: When you make a purchase, we collect your name, billing/shipping address, email, phone number, and payment details (processed securely through our PCI-compliant system).
• Order Details: Information about the fly rods, reels, apparel, and other fishing gear you purchase.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited—helping us optimize your browsing experience.
• Communication Records: Correspondence with our angler-support team regarding payment troubleshooting or international shipping inquiries.

2. How We Use Your Information

We handle your data with the same precision as tying the perfect fly:

• Process transactions for your Daiwa reels, fly boxes, and other gear
• Provide customer support for international payment methods and currency conversions
• Improve our website based on how anglers navigate our fly fishing categories
• Send order confirmations and shipping notifications (including signature requirements for high-value items)
• Detect and prevent fraud—because we protect your gear and your data with equal vigilance
• Comply with legal obligations related to international sales

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We’re as selective about sharing data as we are about our fly tying materials:

• Payment Processors: We share necessary transaction details with Visa, MasterCard, JCB, and PayPal to complete your purchase.
• Shipping Carriers: Only the minimum required information is shared to deliver your fishing apparel or epoxy resins.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights (like investigating fraudulent transactions).
• Service Providers: Trusted partners who assist with website operations—all bound by confidentiality agreements.

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

4. International Data Transfers

Since we serve anglers worldwide (excluding some Asian and remote regions), your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. We implement safeguards like standard contractual clauses to protect your information during these transfers.

5. Data Security

We secure your data with the same dedication as protecting premium fly fishing equipment:

• Military-grade encryption for all transactions
• PCI-DSS compliant payment processing
• Regular security audits of our systems
• 24/7 fraud monitoring
• Automatic deletion of payment data after processing

6. Your Rights

You have rights regarding your personal information, just as you have choices about fly floatants or hook sizes:

• Access: Request details about the data we hold
• Correction: Update inaccurate shipping or contact information
• Deletion: Request removal of personal data (subject to legal requirements)
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications
• Restriction: Limit how we use your data in certain circumstances

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Like selecting the right fly for conditions, we use appropriate technologies to enhance your experience:

• Essential Cookies: Required for our checkout process and shopping cart functionality
• Performance Cookies: Help us understand how anglers navigate between fly rods and clearance apparel
• Analytics: Anonymous data about website usage to improve our product offerings

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

8. Policy Updates
