Howdy partners! At Western Tack Sales Store (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we value your trust as much as we value quality craftsmanship in our saddles and tack. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit westernstirrup.com (the “Site”).

1. Information We Collect

Like a well-stocked saddlebag, we collect various types of information to serve you better:

Information You Provide Directly

  • Order Information: When you purchase our quality tack (saddles, spurs, roping dummies, etc.), we collect your name, billing/shipping address, payment information, email, and phone number.
  • Account Information: If you create an account, we store your login credentials and order history for faster future purchases.
  • Communication Data: When you contact us at [email protected], we keep records of our correspondence.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Device & Usage Data: Like tracking cattle on the range, we collect IP addresses, browser type, operating system, and how you interact with our Site.
  • Cookies & Tracking: We use cookies (small data files) to improve your browsing experience. See Section 6 for details.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information as carefully as a cowboy handles his gear:

  • Process and fulfill your orders for quality western tack
  • Provide customer support and respond to inquiries
  • Improve our products, services, and Site functionality
  • Send order confirmations, shipping notifications, and account-related messages
  • Prevent fraud and enhance security
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. Sharing Your Information

We don’t sell your information to third parties. We only share it when necessary, like a trusted trail partner:

  • Service Providers: We work with payment processors (Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, JCB), shipping carriers, and IT providers to operate our business.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
  • Business Transfers: If we’re acquired, customer information may be transferred to the new owners.

4. Data Storage & Security

We protect your data with the same care we take in crafting our tack:

  • Your information is stored securely in the United States
  • We use industry-standard encryption for payment transactions
  • We implement reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access
  • We don’t store full payment card details on our servers

Our Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies:

  • Essential Cookies: Necessary for basic site functionality (e.g., shopping cart)
  • Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our Site
  • Targeting Cookies: Used to show relevant advertising (through third parties like Google)

You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect site functionality.
