Privacy Policy

The Sporting Shop (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect when you visit thesportingshop.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

We collect information in two ways:

• Information you give us — such as your name and email address when you join our newsletter (“The Dispatch”) or contact us with a question.
• Information collected automatically — such as your browser type, device, pages viewed, and referring links, gathered through cookies and similar technologies to help the site work and to understand how it’s used.

When you place an order on this site, we collect the details needed to fulfill it — your name, contact and shipping information, and order contents. Payment card details are collected and tokenized directly by our payment processor (Authorize.net) and never stored on this site. Order records are processed by our shop staff in Richmond, RI.

Cookies & analytics

We use cookies and Google Analytics to measure traffic and improve the site. Analytics data is aggregated and helps us understand which collections and content are useful. You can disable cookies in your browser settings or opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

How we use your information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the site and its content;
• To send the newsletter and respond to your questions when you ask us to;
• To understand site usage through aggregated analytics;
• To protect the site against fraud, abuse, and technical problems.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run the site and our mailing list (for example, our analytics and email providers), and only as needed to perform those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of others.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email, or by contacting us. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you — to make a request, email us at the address below.

Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other sites

Our site links to other properties — including The Preserve, and The Hilltop Spa. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please review their policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the effective date above. Material changes will be posted on this page.
