Privacy Policy

Welcome to Summat Shop (“we”, “us”, or “our”). As fellow hunters who understand the importance of trust in the field, we’re equally committed to protecting your privacy when you shop with us for your hunting essentials. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website summatshop.com.

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with the best hunting gear shopping experience, we collect the following types of information:

Personal Information You Provide:

• Order Information: Name, shipping address, billing address, payment details (processed securely through our payment gateway), phone number, and email address when you purchase bow accessories, treestands, camo clothing, or other hunting equipment.
• Account Information: If you create an account, we store your username, password (encrypted), and preferences to make future purchases faster before hunting season.
• Communication Data: When you contact our customer service about your gear orders, we keep records of those communications.

Automatically Collected Information:

• Device & Usage Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps – helping us understand which hunting products (like trail cameras or ground blinds) are most popular.
• Location Data: Generalized location to ensure we’re showing you available products for your region (excluding Asia and certain remote areas).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information responsibly to support your hunting needs:

• Process and ship your orders for treestands, scent control, and other gear quickly (within 1-2 business days)
• Provide customer support for your hunting equipment questions
• Improve our website and product offerings based on what hunters like you need
• Send order confirmations, shipping notifications, and service-related communications
• Prevent fraud and enhance payment security for your transactions
• Comply with legal obligations related to international shipping

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We treat your information with the same discretion we’d expect for our own hunting preparations:

• Service Providers: We share necessary information with trusted partners who help operate our business (payment processors, shipping carriers, IT services) – only what’s needed to get your gear to you.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or sale, customer information may be transferred but remains subject to privacy promises.

We do not sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

4. Data Storage & Security

We secure your data with the same seriousness we approach hunting safety:

• All transactions are protected by 256-bit SSL encryption
• Payment information is processed through PCI-compliant gateways and never stored on our servers
• Regular security audits of our systems
• Limited employee access to your personal information

While we implement these measures, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We encourage hunters to use strong passwords and monitor account activity.

5. Your Rights & Choices

You have control over your information, just as you do in the field:

• Access & Update: Log in to your account to view or update your information
• Marketing Communications: Opt-out of promotional emails using the unsubscribe link
• Account Deletion: Request account deletion by contacting us (except where we must retain records for legal reasons)
• Do Not Track: Our site doesn’t respond to DNT signals as we don’t engage in cross-site tracking

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use these tools to improve your hunting gear shopping experience:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for site functionality (like keeping items in your cart while you browse other hunting supplies)
• Performance Cookies: Help us understand how hunters navigate our site to improve layout and product placement
• Analytics: Basic Google Analytics to see which products (like bow hangers or elk scents) are most viewed

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

7. International Data Transfers

As we ship hunting gear globally (excluding Asia and certain remote areas), your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where we’re based. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for these transfers.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our hunting gear is intended for adult use. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 16. If we learn we have, we’ll delete it promptly.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy as our business evolves, just as hunting gear improves over time. We’ll notify you of significant changes and update the “Last Updated” date.

From our hunting family to yours – we respect your privacy as much as we respect the hunt.
