Implied consent is granted by you when you place an order or agree to the Terms and Conditions on the Website. This allows Fishing Tackle Store to obtain or verify information from third parties (i.e. banks, credit bureaus, lenders, insurance companies, etc.) in the process of assessing the eligibility of an individual, customer, client, job applicant or business partner.
Your information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred or given to any other party without your consent, other than for the express purpose of doing business and improving customer relations.

Your e-mail addresses may be used by Fishing Tackle Store to send information and updates pertaining to the order, in addition to receiving occasional company news, updates, related product or service information, contests or other promotions.
Fishing Tackle Store will limit the use of any personal and business information collected only to what is needed for conducting business with current and prospective customers. Fishing Tackle Store will obtain your consent if the information is to be used for any other purpose.
Fishing Tackle Store will not sell, distribute, disclose personal and/or business information or contact lists to third parties. Limited disclosure may be required as part of Fishing Tackle Store fulfilling its stated business duties and day-to-day operations or legal requirements. This may include consultants, suppliers or business partners of Fishing Tackle Store, but only with the understanding that these parties obey and abide by this Privacy Policy, to the extent necessary for fulfilling their own business duties and operations.
Once your personal information is no longer required, it will be destroyed in a safe and secure manner. Certain laws may require your information be kept for a specified period of time. Where this is the case, the law will supersede this Privacy Policy.
Fishing Tackle Store will protect personal and business information with the appropriate security measures, physical safeguards, and electronic precautions. Fishing Tackle Store maintains personal information through a combination of paper and electronic files. Where required by law or disaster recovery/business continuity policies, older records may be stored in a secure, offsite location.
Fishing Tackle Store’s computer and network systems are secured by complex passwords. Only authorized individuals may access secure systems and databases. Servers connected to the Internet are protected by a firewall and by antivirus and anti malware software solutions.
Access to personal and business information will be authorized only for the employees and other agents of Fishing Tackle Store, who require the information to perform job duties, and to those otherwise authorized by law.
Fishing Tackle Store’s Website may contain links to other sites, but Fishing Tackle Store is not responsible for the privacy practices of these other sites.
