Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 1, 2026
Last updated: August 1, 2026

[LEGAL ENTITY NAME], doing business as Buy Tactical Treasures (“Buy Tactical Treasures”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), operates buytacticaltreasures.com and produces custom military merchandise for service members, veterans, units, and organizations across the United States. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, and what choices and rights you have.

This policy covers our website, orders and quote requests placed through it, custom order files you send us, and our email and phone communications with you. It does not cover third party websites we link to, or social media platforms where you may interact with us.

The Short Version

  • We collect what we need to quote, produce, and ship your order, and to run the site.
  • We do not sell your personal information for money.
  • Payment card details go directly to our payment processor. We never see or store your full card number.
  • Custom artwork, unit names, and name lists you send us are used to produce your order and nothing else.
  • California residents and residents of several other states have specific rights, listed further down.

The sections below give the full detail.

Information We Collect

Information You Give Us

  • Contact and account information. Name, email address, phone number, billing address, shipping address, and, if you create an account, a username and password.
  • Order information. Products ordered, sizes, quantities, order history, order value, and delivery instructions.
  • Custom order information. Unit or organization name, rank or title, event type and date, artwork files, logos, mottos, engraving or personalization text, and any name list or size roster you send us for a unit run, a ball order, or a fundraiser.
  • Organizational purchase information. Purchase order numbers, tax exemption documentation, and points of contact, when you order on behalf of a unit, an association, or another organization.
  • Communications. Quote requests, contact form submissions, emails, text messages, phone notes, attachments, and any information you choose to include in them.
  • Marketing preferences. Newsletter subscriptions and the categories of products you tell us you are interested in.
  • Reviews and submitted content. Product reviews, testimonials, and photos you send us or post, if we offer that feature.

Information Collected Automatically

When you browse the site we collect device and usage data through cookies and similar technologies: browser and device type, operating system, IP address, approximate location derived from that IP address, pages viewed, time on page, referring website, search terms used on the site, cart activity, and dates and times of access.

Information From Other Sources

  • Payment processors. Confirmation of payment, the card brand, and the last four digits of the card.
  • Shipping carriers. Tracking numbers, delivery status, and address corrections.
  • Fraud prevention services. Risk signals associated with an order.
  • Analytics and advertising partners. Aggregated audience and campaign data.
  • Social media platforms. Public profile information, if you contact us or interact with us there.

Information We Do Not Want

Please do not send us classified, controlled, operationally sensitive, or otherwise restricted information in artwork files, rosters, or messages. Send only what the order requires. If you send information we do not need, we will delete it.

We also do not intentionally collect Social Security numbers, government identification numbers, precise geolocation, health information, biometric data, or financial account credentials. If any of this reaches us by accident, we delete it once identified.

How We Use Your Information

  • Quote, produce, and deliver your order, including proofs, revisions, and reorders.
  • Communicate with you about quotes, orders, artwork approvals, shipping, and returns.
  • Process payments and prevent fraudulent transactions.
  • Provide customer support and respond to your questions.
  • Keep records required for accounting, tax, and legal purposes.
  • Operate, secure, and improve the website and our product range.
  • Send marketing emails or text messages when you have opted in, and measure how those campaigns perform.
  • Comply with applicable law and enforce our terms.

We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Custom Orders, Artwork, and Name Lists

Custom work involves information that goes beyond a normal retail order, so we treat it separately.

  • Artwork and design files are used to produce your order and to prepare proofs. We keep them on file so you can reorder without resubmitting, unless you ask us to delete them.
  • Name lists and size rosters supplied for unit runs or fundraisers are used only to produce and sort that order. We do not add the people on those lists to any marketing list.
  • Production partners receive only what they need to manufacture the item.
  • Portfolio use. We may photograph finished work for our website and social media. If you do not want your order shown, tell us before production and we will note it on the job.

You are responsible for having the right to use any logo, insignia, or third party artwork you send us. See our Terms and Conditions for details.

Payments

Payments are processed by [PAYMENT PROCESSOR NAMES]. Your card details are transmitted directly to the processor under its own privacy policy and security standards. We receive confirmation of payment, the card brand, and the last four digits. We never receive or store your full card number, expiration date, or security code.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies in four groups.

  • Strictly necessary. Required for the cart, checkout, account login, and site security. These cannot be switched off.
  • Functional. Remember preferences such as language, saved items, and previously entered details.
  • Analytics. Tell us how the site is used so we can improve it.
  • Advertising. Measure campaign performance and show relevant ads on other platforms. [CONFIRM WHETHER ADVERTISING PIXELS ARE IN USE]

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break the cart and checkout. We honor the Global Privacy Control signal as a request to opt out of the sharing of personal information for cross context behavioral advertising where state law requires it.

How We Share Your Information

We share personal information only with the following categories of recipients, and only for the purposes described.

  • Production partners who manufacture, decorate, engrave, or package your order.
  • Shipping carriers and logistics providers who deliver it.
  • Payment processors and fraud prevention services.
  • Technology providers for hosting, website platform, email, customer support, and file storage.
  • Analytics and advertising providers as described in the cookies section.
  • Professional advisors such as accountants and attorneys, under confidentiality obligations.
  • Government authorities when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our rights, our customers, or the public.
  • A successor entity if the business is sold, merged, or reorganized. We will notify you if that happens and your information becomes subject to a different policy.

We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not disclose it to third parties for their own independent marketing. Under some state privacy laws, the use of advertising and analytics cookies can be treated as “sharing” or as a “sale” even when no money changes hands. If you want to opt out of that use, follow the instructions in the section below.

How Long We Keep Your Information

  • Order and transaction records: retained for [RETENTION PERIOD, COMMONLY 7 YEARS] to meet tax, accounting, and legal requirements.
  • Account information: retained while your account is active, and deleted on request.
  • Artwork and custom order files: retained so you can reorder, and deleted on request.
  • Quote requests and inquiries that do not become orders: retained for [RETENTION PERIOD, COMMONLY 24 MONTHS].
  • Marketing lists: retained until you unsubscribe, plus a suppression record so we do not contact you again.
  • Website analytics data: retained according to the settings of our analytics provider.

Data Security

We use encryption in transit, access controls, restricted administrative accounts, and vetted service providers to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.

Your Privacy Rights

California Residents

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we have collected, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of recipients.
  • Access a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Delete personal information we hold about you, subject to legal exceptions such as completing a transaction or keeping tax records.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross context behavioral advertising.
  • Limit the use of sensitive personal information. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that require this option.
  • Be free from discrimination for exercising any of these rights. We will not deny you products, charge different prices, or provide a lower level of service.

An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with written permission from you, and we may still ask you to verify your identity directly.

Residents of Other States

If you live in a state with a comprehensive privacy law, including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, Delaware, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Iowa, Indiana, Tennessee, Minnesota, Maryland, Kentucky, or Rhode Island, you have comparable rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of your personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising. Where state law provides it, you may also appeal a decision we make on your request by replying to our response or writing to the contact address below.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Email us at contact@buytacticaltreasures.com with the subject line “Privacy Request”, or write to the postal address at the end of this policy. Tell us which right you want to exercise and the email address or order number associated with your information.

We will confirm receipt within ten business days and respond within forty five calendar days. If we need more time, we will tell you and may take up to another forty five days. To protect your information, we will verify your identity before acting, usually by matching the details you provide against our order records.

Marketing Communications

You can unsubscribe from marketing email at any time using the link at the bottom of any message, or by emailing us. If we operate a text message program, you can stop it by replying STOP to any message. Message and data rates may apply. We will still send transactional messages about orders you have placed, such as order confirmations, proof approvals, and shipping notices.

Children’s Privacy

The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under sixteen. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Third Party Links

Our site may link to other websites, including social media platforms and carrier tracking pages. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information.

Visitors Outside the United States

Buy Tactical Treasures is based in San Diego, California, and our services are directed to customers in the United States. If you access the site from another country, including from an overseas duty station, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your location.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our business, technology, or the law changes. The effective date at the top shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be announced on this page, and by email where required. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
