This Privacy Policy describes how bowhuntingessentials.com ("the Site," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your Personal Information when you visit, use our services, or make a purchase from bowhuntingessentials.com (the "Site").

1. Information We Collect

We primarily collect information from you in three ways: directly from you, through automated technologies, and from third parties.

A. Information You Provide to Us

When you interact with the Site, you may voluntarily provide us with Personal Information, such as:

• Contact Information: Your name, email address, and phone number when you sign up for our newsletter, submit a contact form, or leave a comment on a post.

• User Contributions: Any product reviews, comments, or other content you voluntarily post to the Site.
  

B. Information Collected Automatically (Cookies and Tracking)

When you access the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device and your interaction with the Site. This information is necessary for us to run our analytics, improve our content, and support our affiliate relationships.

• Usage Data: Information about how you access and use our Site, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent on the Site, and referring website addresses.

• Tracking Technologies: We use Cookies and similar tracking technologies to track your activity on our Site. A cookie is a small data file placed on your computer or device. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent, but some parts of the Site may not function properly without them.

• Affiliate Data: When you click on an affiliate link, a cookie may be placed by the third-party merchant . This cookie allows the merchant to track the purchase and attribute the commission to us. We do not collect personal payment information from these transactions; all purchases happen on the third-party merchant’s site.
  

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following business purposes:

• To Provide and Maintain the Site: To ensure the functionality of our website and services.

• For Content and Product Improvement: To analyze visitor behavior and content popularity, allowing us to focus our expert hunting gear reviews on the most necessary and trending products.

• For Marketing and Communication: To send you newsletters, promotional emails, and updates if you have opted-in to receive them.

• For Affiliate Tracking and Monetization: To earn commissions through our affiliate marketing programs, which helps fund the content creation on the Site.

• For Security and Fraud Prevention: To protect the integrity of the Site and prevent unauthorized access or activity.
  

3. Sharing Your Personal Information

We will not sell, rent, or trade your Personal Information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers (e.g., website hosting, email service providers, analytics platforms) who need access to the data to perform work for us.

• Affiliate Merchants: When you click an affiliate link on our Site, you are redirected to the merchant's website. We share no Personal Information directly with the merchant, but the merchant will collect your data according to their own privacy policy once you leave our Site.

• Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
  

4. Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to third-party websites, primarily our affiliate partners who sell the hunting gear we review. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit. We have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites.

5. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your Personal Information:

6. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us.
