Privacy Policy

The Patriot Code ("The Patriot Code," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit, use, or make a purchase from our website (the "Site"), how we use and share that information, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you consent to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked to you. This includes:

Information you provide directly — your name, billing and shipping address, email address, phone number, and order details when you place an order, create an account, contact support, sign up for our newsletter, or leave a review.

Payment information — payment card details are collected and processed securely by our payment providers. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.

Information collected automatically — when you browse the Site, we automatically collect device and usage data such as your IP address, browser type, time zone, the pages you view, referring links, and how you interact with the Site. We refer to this as "Device Information."

2. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, keep items in your cart, analyze traffic, and support marketing. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of the Site may not function properly without them.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Process, fulfill, and deliver your orders, and send order confirmations and updates;
• Communicate with you, respond to inquiries, and provide customer support;
• Process returns, exchanges, and refunds;
• Screen orders for potential fraud or risk, and protect the security of the Site;
• Send marketing and promotional messages where you have consented, from which you may opt out at any time;
• Improve and optimize our Site, products, and overall customer experience; and
• Comply with our legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to run our business, including with:

Service providers — our e-commerce platform (Shopify), which powers our online store; payment processors; shipping and fulfillment partners; and email, analytics, and marketing providers, each acting on our behalf.

Legal and safety — we may disclose your information to comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests, or protect our rights, property, and safety, or that of others.

Business transfers — if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Behavioral Advertising

We may use your information to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may interest you. These may be delivered through third-party platforms. You can opt out of many of these services through the platform's own settings or through industry opt-out tools.

6. Data Retention

We retain your order and account information for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, update, port, or request deletion of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have these rights under the GDPR, and California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what personal information we collect and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information.

10. Children's Privacy

The Site is not intended for individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
