We collect information from you when you register on the site, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, respond to a communication such as e-mail, or participate in another site feature. When ordering or registering, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information or other information. You may, however, visit our site anonymously and choose not to provide certain information, although it may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our site’s features.
Like many websites, we use "cookies”. Cookies are small programs that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember specific information. For example, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. Cookies also help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with a customized shopping experience. We also use cookies to help us gather comprehensive data about the traffic and communication on our site so that we may offer improved site experiences and tools in the future.
You may choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you may choose to disable all cookies by going to the toolbar of your web browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) and clicking on the “Help” button. Follow the instructions that will prevent your browser from allowing cookies or set the browser to inform you when you receive a new cookie. Please note that if you do turn cookies off, you will not have access to many features that make your site experience more efficient and some of our services will not function properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone by contacting us at 978-961-1680 if you experience any problems.
How Do We Use The Personal Information We Collect From You?
We may use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your inquiries, processing your transactions, and/or customizing your future shopping experiences.
If you subscribe to receive our newsletter, product notifications and/or product updates when you establish an account, we may send you periodic e-mails. If, at any time, you decide that you would no longer like to receive promotional e-mail from us, you can log in to your account and simply change (unsubscribe) from these notifications by clicking on Email Notifications “Subscribe or unsubscribe from newsletters” and/or “View or change my product notification list” and unchecking these options.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
How Do We Protect The Personal Information We Collect From You?
We have taken care to implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of the personal information you provide.

All sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted and transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
Do We Disclose The Personal Information We Collect From You To Outside Parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice, except as described below. The term "outside parties" does not include BigFatTackle.com. It also does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
