At KnifeShopOnline, we value your privacy with the same dedication we apply to crafting our premium blade collections. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website (www.knifeshoponline.com) or make purchases from our curated selection of bushcraft, EDC, tactical, and collector knives.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our global community of knife enthusiasts with seamless service, we collect:

  • Personal Identification: Name, email, shipping/billing address, phone number – essential for delivering your Japanese pocket knives or survival tools
  • Payment Information: Encrypted credit card details or PayPal credentials – handled with military-grade security for all transactions
  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information – helping us optimize your browsing experience
  • Usage Data: Pages visited, products viewed – similar to how a master smith studies blade patterns to refine craftsmanship
  • Special Category Data: For certain tactical/military knife purchases, we may require age verification as required by law

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data serves specific, purposeful functions – much like each tool in a Swiss Army knife:

  • Process and ship your orders for hunting knives, straight razors, or children’s pocket knives
  • Provide customer support from our Las Vegas headquarters
  • Improve our website functionality and product offerings
  • Send service-related communications (order confirmations, shipping updates)
  • With consent, share promotions on new Laguiole collections or bushcraft tools
  • Prevent fraud and enhance security – as vigilant as a neck knife’s quick-access safety

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We handle your information with the precision of a honed blade edge:

  • Service Providers: Trusted partners (payment processors, shipping carriers) assisting with operations
  • Legal Compliance: When required by law, particularly for international knife shipments
  • Business Transfers: In the event of merger/acquisition, with privacy protections maintained
  • Never Sold: We don’t trade or sell your data – our integrity is as solid as a full-tang survival knife

4. International Data Transfers

As a global retailer (serving all regions except certain Asian/remote areas), your data may be transferred internationally with appropriate safeguards matching the security standards of our tactical knife collection.

5. Data Security

We protect your information with the same reliability as our premium blades:

  • SSL encryption throughout our website
  • PCI-DSS compliant payment processing
  • Regular security audits – as thorough as our blade quality inspections
  • Limited employee access to sensitive data

6. Your Rights

You maintain control over your information:

  • Access: Request copies of your personal data
  • Correction: Update inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Request erasure under certain conditions
  • Restriction: Limit how we use your data
  • Objection: Opt-out of marketing communications
  • Portability: Receive your data in a structured format

To exercise these rights, contact our Las Vegas team at [email protected].

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies – small data files that help us:

  • Remember your preferences (like currency selection for international purchases)
  • Analyze site traffic patterns (helping us stock popular EDC knives)
  • Improve your shopping experience (faster than deploying a multi-tool)

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

8. Policy Updates

We may update this policy periodically, with changes posted on this page. Significant changes will be communicated to registered customers – as noticeable as a master-crafted Japanese blade among standard pocket knives.
