Westcoast Firearms uses cookies, which are small data files created by a website server and stored by your browser, that may be used to recognize users of the Website when they return to the Website, collect usage information and remember users’ preferences.  We use cookies to keep track of and enhance certain user activities on our Website such as logging into your account, making a purchase and other user-specific features.  We also use cookies to evaluate our web traffic, enhance our communications, and evaluate the effectiveness of our internet-based advertising.  See “ Interest-Based Behavioral Advertising” below for more information.  In addition, your opt-out choices regarding cookies are described in “ Opt-Out Choices” below.

 

Interest-Based Behavioral Advertising.  Westcoast Firearms advertisements are shown on third party websites, including Google.  Westcoast Firearms may use technologies such as cookies and web beacons (also known as action tags, pixels, or transparent GIF files) to help manage online advertising. These technologies are provided by one or more third party vendors and enable such vendors to recognize a unique cookie placed by us (when you accessed the Website) or by such vendors, or by another advertiser who works with such vendors.  These technologies allow us to learn which advertisements bring users to the Website.  They also allow us to collect information about your online activities over time and across third party websites so we can manage advertising effectiveness and provide you with online advertisements, including advertisements on the websites of third parties not affiliated with Westcoast Firearms, more likely to be of interest to you.  Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads to you based on your past visits to the Website. With this technology, the information that we collect, process and share is aggregated information or de-identified information that does not identify you individually to other parties.

We offer you certain choices about the information we collect, how we use and share information, and how we communicate with you.  When you exercise these choices, in order to help protect your privacy, we may take certain steps to verify your identity, such as confirming your ability to verify your email address and certain account information.  You also have the following specific opt-out choices:

Emails. You can opt out of receiving future promotional emails from Westcoast Firearms (such as general marketing emails, rewards or promotional program emails, and customer surveys) by following the unsubscribe procedures indicated in each email.  Even if you opt out of receiving promotional emails from Westcoast Firearms, we will send you transaction emails and respond to questions from you.

Cookies. ’You may block or restrict cookies on your computer or device or purge them from your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences.

Additionally, some residual information may remain in back-ups, cached, archived or other historical databases.  We reserve the right to refuse to modify information if we request proof of identity or authority and the appropriate proof of identity or authority is not provided to us.

Security

We operate secure data networks protected by industry standard firewall and password protection systems, which are periodically reviewed and enhanced. We do not, however, guarantee that unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure will never occur.

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us. The personally identifiable information you provide to us when you establish an on-line account is protected in several ways. Access by you to your personally identifiable information is available through a password and unique customer ID selected by you. This password is encrypted.  We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. In addition, your personally identifiable information, whether provided to establish your on-line account or through other Services resides on a secure server that only selected Westcoast Firearms, personnel and contractors have access to via password.  We encrypt your personally identifiable information and thereby prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information when it is transmitted to us.

In order to most efficiently serve you, credit card transactions and order fulfillment are handled by established third party banking, processing agents and distribution institutions. They receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information and to process and ship your order.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You acknowledge that there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet beyond our control, that the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through the Website cannot be guaranteed, and any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.
