Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

At Coghlan’s Store, we value your trust as much as we value the quality of our outdoor gear. Just as we equip you for adventures in the wilderness, we’re committed to protecting your personal information with the same level of care and security. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit activeoutdoorequip.com.

1. Information We Collect

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

• Personal Information: When you make a purchase or create an account, we collect your name, email address, shipping address, and payment information (processed securely through our PCI-compliant system).

• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and how you navigate our store – helping us improve your shopping experience.

• Improve our product offerings and website functionality
• Send relevant offers and outdoor adventure tips (only with your consent)
• Prevent fraud and enhance payment security

• Business Transfers: In case of merger or acquisition, with appropriate privacy protections.

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