Privacy Policy

Welcome to Pro Tackle Solutions Sales (“we”, “our”, or “us”). We’re passionate about providing anglers worldwide with top-quality fishing gear, from fluorocarbon lines to premium casting reels. Just as we value the integrity of your fishing equipment, we deeply respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit fishingbaitstore.com.

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with the best fishing tackle shopping experience, we collect:

• Personal Information: When you make purchases (like those buzz baits or braided fishing line), we collect your name, email, shipping address (such as our warehouse at 3406 Chapmans Lane, Albuquerque), and payment details (processed securely through our payment partners).
• Order Information: Details about the fishing gear you purchase, whether it’s jigheads or casting rods, for order processing and customer service.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and device information to optimize your browsing experience, especially when you’re checking out our products from your phone at the dock.
• Usage Data: How you interact with our site, such as which lures or apparel pages you visit, helping us stock the products anglers want.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data to:

• Process your orders for fishing tackle and ship them worldwide (except certain Asian and remote areas)
• Provide customer support when you have questions about our products
• Improve our website and product offerings based on angler preferences
• Send order confirmations and shipping updates (because we know you’re eager to get those new frogs or crankbaits)
• Prevent fraud and enhance payment security (all transactions protected by 256-bit SSL encryption)
• Comply with legal fishing equipment sales requirements

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We treat your information like prized fishing spots – with care and respect:

• Payment Processors: We share necessary information with Visa, MasterCard, JCB, and PayPal to complete transactions (we never store full payment details).
• Shipping Partners: To deliver your fishing weights or apparel orders globally.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our business and customers.
• Service Providers: Companies that help us operate our website and business, bound by confidentiality agreements.

We don’t sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely in the United States with measures as strong as our braided fishing line:

• 256-bit SSL encryption for all transactions
• Regular security audits of our systems
• Limited employee access to your personal information
• Secure destruction of data when no longer needed

5. Your Rights and Choices

As an angler, you have rights regarding your data:

• Access: Request details about personal data we hold
• Correction: Update inaccurate information (so your jigs ship to the right lake)
• Deletion: Request removal of personal data, subject to legal requirements
• Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications (though we’ll still send order updates)
• Complaints: Contact us or data protection authorities with concerns

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like selecting the right bait for the fish, we use appropriate technologies:

• Essential Cookies: For site functionality and secure checkout
• Analytics Cookies: To understand how anglers use our site and improve it
• Preference Cookies: Remember your settings (like currency for international orders)

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, though some features (like adding those last-minute jigheads to your cart) may not work properly without them.

7. International Data Transfers

As we ship fishing gear globally (except certain regions), your data may be transferred internationally but always protected with appropriate safeguards.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our products and website are intended for anglers 18+. We don’t knowingly collect children’s data.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this policy as fishing regulations change.
