At Austere Outfitters, we understand that trust is earned—and protecting your personal information is part of how we earn it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the steps we take to keep it secure.
What We Collect
When you shop with us or interact with our website, we may collect certain information to process your orders and improve your experience.
Personal details such as your name, shipping and billing addresses, phone number, and email address allow us to fulfill orders and keep you informed about your purchases. For age-restricted products, we may also collect your date of birth to verify eligibility as required by law.
Transaction records including your order history, payment information, and—for serialized items—the details of your selected FFL dealer help us manage purchases and maintain accurate records. Payment data is processed through PCI-compliant partners and is never stored on our servers.
Technical data like your IP address, browser type, and cookie preferences helps us maintain website security, analyze site performance, and ensure a smooth shopping experience.
How We Use Your Information
We collect information for specific, legitimate purposes. Your data helps us process and ship your orders accurately, verify age and eligibility for restricted items, send order confirmations and shipping updates, improve our website and customer experience, detect and prevent fraud, and meet our legal and regulatory obligations.
We do not sell your personal information. Period.
When We Share Information
Certain trusted partners require access to your information to help us serve you. These include payment processors who handle transactions securely, shipping carriers who deliver your orders, fulfillment partners who help us get products to you quickly, and FFL dealers you select to receive serialized items.
We may also disclose information when required by law or in response to valid legal requests from law enforcement.
Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses cookies to keep your shopping cart intact between visits, remember your preferences, and gather analytics that help us improve site performance. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function properly without them.
How We Protect Your Data
We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted checkout, secure server infrastructure, and strict internal access controls. While no system is immune to every threat, we take reasonable and appropriate steps to safeguard your information.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate information, ask us to delete certain data, or limit how we process your information.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@austereoutfitters.com.
Data Retention
We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill orders, comply with legal requirements, and meet legitimate business needs. When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last Updated” date at the top. Continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
