Product Reviews and Review Invitations

Customers may have the opportunity to submit ratings, reviews, photographs, questions, answers, or other feedback relating to products purchased from The Woods.

After a purchase, we may send a follow-up communication inviting you to review products you purchased or provide feedback regarding your shopping experience.

Review invitations may reference products included in your order. Where required by applicable law, review-request communications will be sent in accordance with applicable consent requirements.

We may use website functionality or a third-party review service to facilitate review invitations, collect customer feedback, verify or administer reviews, and display reviews and ratings.

Information that you voluntarily include in a public product review may be visible to other website visitors. You should not include confidential, financial, private, or otherwise sensitive personal information in content intended to be published publicly.

Where an unsubscribe mechanism is provided in a review communication, you may use that mechanism to stop receiving applicable future review invitations.

Email and Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to our mailing list, agree to receive promotional communications, or otherwise request marketing communications from us, we may send emails regarding:

• New products
• Sales
• Promotions
• Special offers
• Events
• Store news
• Other information related to The Woods

Where required, promotional emails will include a mechanism that allows you to unsubscribe from future promotional communications.

Unsubscribing from promotional emails does not necessarily prevent us from sending transactional or service-related communications concerning an existing order, account, payment, shipment, product review request, legal requirement, or customer-service matter when such communications are otherwise permitted.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve our website.

Cookies are small data files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

We may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Maintain shopping-cart contents
• Remember customer preferences
• Keep customers signed into their accounts
• Support checkout functionality

• Support advertising or marketing functionality where applicable

Some cookies may be necessary for essential website features such as shopping carts, customer accounts, and checkout.

Other cookies or technologies may be provided by third parties that supply services such as payments, analytics, advertising, security, embedded content, or other functionality.

Depending on applicable law and our website configuration, you may be provided with choices regarding certain non-essential cookies.

You may also configure your web browser to restrict or reject cookies. Disabling certain cookies may prevent portions of our website, including shopping-cart, account, or checkout functionality, from operating properly.

How We Share Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to third parties when reasonably necessary to operate our website and business, fulfill transactions, provide requested services, or comply with legal obligations.

Recipients may include:

• Payment processors
• Banks and financial-service providers
• Shipping and delivery providers
• FFL dealers or other parties involved in legally required transfers
• Website hosting providers
• WordPress and WooCommerce service providers
• Customer-review service providers
• Email and communication service providers
• Analytics providers

Third-party service providers may process information according to their own privacy policies, contractual obligations, and applicable legal requirements.

We may also disclose information if The Woods becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable law.

Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell personal information simply in exchange for monetary payment.

Some privacy laws define terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than an ordinary monetary sale. Depending on the technologies used on our website, certain disclosures to analytics, advertising, or other technology providers may be treated differently under applicable privacy laws.

Where applicable law provides a right to opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising, we will honor qualifying requests as required by law.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to meet legitimate business, operational, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, recordkeeping, security, and compliance requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.

For example, certain order, payment, shipping, firearm-transfer, FFL, tax, fraud-prevention, or other transaction records may need to be maintained for longer periods because of legal, regulatory, accounting, or legitimate business requirements.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it as appropriate and subject to applicable legal requirements.

Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, loss, or destruction.

Our website uses encrypted connections where appropriate, including SSL/TLS technology for information transmitted between your browser and our website.

Payment information may be transmitted directly to payment providers using their own payment and security infrastructure.

No internet transmission, electronic storage system, website, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information.

Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 in circumstances subject to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) without complying with applicable parental notice and consent requirements.

COPPA applies to operators of websites and online services directed to children under 13 and to certain operators that have actual knowledge they are collecting personal information online from a child under 13.

If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review and address the information as appropriate.
