Privacy Policy - Garvey Outdoors
Effective date: November 12, 2026
Garvey Outdoors ("Garvey Outdoors," "we," "us," or "our") sells e-books and provides learning materials about outdoor skills, including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and survival. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices and rights you may have.
1. Personal Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Contact information, such as your name and email address.
- Order information, such as the e-book you purchased, order date, and transaction status.
- Payment-related information, such as payment status and transaction references. Payment card details are entered through a third-party payment processor, not stored on our servers.
- Communications, such as messages or questions you send us.
- Device and usage information, such as your browser type, device information, pages visited, and general interaction with our website. This may be collected through cookies or similar technologies.
We may collect information directly from you, through your purchases, automatically when you use our website, and from service providers that help us operate our business.
2. How We Use Personal Information
We may use personal information to:
- Process and fulfill e-book orders and provide access to purchased materials.
- Send order confirmations, purchase-related messages, and customer support responses.
- Maintain, protect, and improve our website, products, and services.
- Understand general website use and performance through analytics.
- Send marketing emails when you have agreed to receive them.
- Meet legal, accounting, tax, and recordkeeping requirements.
- Protect our business, customers, and services from fraud, misuse, or security issues.
Where applicable privacy laws require us to identify a legal basis for processing, we rely on fulfilling a purchase or other agreement, meeting legal obligations, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting our business, or your consent.
3. Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies. Some may be needed for basic website functions. Others may help us understand website traffic and how visitors use our pages.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website work. If cookie preference tools are available on our website, you may also use them to manage your choices.
4. Payments
We currently use Stripe payment links for e-book purchases. When you make a purchase, you provide payment information directly to the payment processor through its checkout service. Payment information is handled under the processor's privacy policy and security practices.
We do not store payment card details on our servers. We may receive limited information about a transaction, such as whether it was completed and information needed to confirm or support your order.
5. Email Communications
We may send emails needed to complete or support a purchase, such as order confirmations and responses to your questions. These service-related emails are not marketing messages.
We will send marketing emails only where you have consented or where otherwise permitted by law. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in a marketing email. Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not stop essential messages about an order or a request you have made.
6. How We Share Personal Information
We do not sell personal information. We disclose personal information only as needed to:
- Service providers that help us process payments, deliver e-books, host or maintain our website, provide email services, or analyze website use. They may use the information only to provide services to us and must protect it.
- Government authorities or other parties when required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
We do not authorize service providers to use your personal information for their own unrelated marketing.
7. How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this Policy, including fulfilling orders, responding to requests, maintaining business and tax records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations. The time period depends on the type of information and why it was collected.
When information is no longer needed, we will delete it or take reasonable steps to de-identify it, unless we are required or permitted by law to keep it longer.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of storing or transmitting information is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live and whether applicable privacy laws cover our processing, you may have the right to:
- Ask whether we process personal information about you and request access to it.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of personal information.
- Request a copy of certain information in a portable format.
- Object to or ask us to restrict certain processing.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising, where applicable.
- Appeal a decision we make about a privacy request, where applicable.
We do not sell personal information. To make a request, contact us using the details in the Contact Us section. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You may also use an authorized representative where permitted by law. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.
Some information may need to be retained to complete a transaction, comply with law, or establish or defend legal claims. If we cannot fulfill a request for one of these reasons, we will explain why when required.
10. Children's Privacy
Our services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us so we can review the matter and take appropriate steps.
11. International Visitors
Your information may be processed in the country where we or our service providers operate. Privacy laws in that country may differ from the laws where you live. Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we will use the required safeguards.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on our website and revise the effective date above. If a change requires notice by law, we will provide that notice as required.
