4. Cookies And Analytics

• Essential cookies support cart, checkout, account login, fraud prevention, and security.
• Analytics cookies help us understand page performance and improve the customer experience.
• Marketing cookies may help measure advertising performance and show more relevant content.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect cart, checkout, account, or site functionality.

5. How Information Is Shared

We share information only when it helps operate the store, serve customers, protect the business, or meet legal obligations.

• Professional advisers, insurers, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties when required by law or needed to protect rights and safety.
• Successors if OceanicAngler is involved in a merger, sale, restructuring, or transfer of business assets.

We do not sell customer lists for money. Some analytics or advertising tools may be treated as “sharing” under certain privacy laws. Where those laws apply, eligible visitors can contact us to request available opt-out choices.

7. Retention, Security, And International Processing

We keep information for as long as needed to provide services, complete orders, support customers, maintain business records, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the website.

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, payment system, or internet transmission is completely secure, so customers should also use strong passwords and protect account access.

The OceanicAngler website is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
