Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Insert Date]

At Angling Sales Shop (“we”, “us”, or “our”), we value your trust as seriously as we value the quality of our Penn reels and Shimano rods. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share information when you visit fishings-sales.com (the “Site”) or purchase our professional-grade fishing equipment.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide secure transactions and personalized service for serious anglers worldwide:

• Personal Information: When you make purchases, we collect name, email, shipping/billing address, payment details (processed securely via PCI-DSS compliant systems), and phone number for order verification.

• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and Site usage patterns through cookies and similar technologies.
• Communication Records: Correspondence with our Baltimore-based angler-advisors regarding equipment recommendations or order support.

2. How We Use Your Information

We handle your data with the same precision as selecting saltwater-resistant tackle:

• Process transactions with our tournament-ready payment system (charged only when gear ships)
• Provide global shipping services (excluding remote regions)
• Recommend matched equipment combos (like pairing rods to reels)
• Improve our product offerings for professional anglers
• Prevent fraud with AVS checks and 3D Secure authentication
