Privacy Policy

At Knivesta (“we”, “us”, or “our”), we understand that our customers – tactical professionals, collectors, and outdoor enthusiasts – value both precision tools and personal security. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, protect, and disclose your information when you visit knivesta.com (the “Site”) or purchase our premium automatic knives and tactical gear.

1. Information We Collect

To provide our professional-grade products and services, we collect the following information:

Personal Information

• Order Information: Name, shipping address, billing address, payment details (processed securely through our PCI-compliant system), phone number, and email address when you purchase AKC, Boker, or other tactical knives.
• Account Information: Username, password, and preferences if you create an account to track your collection of OTF knives or automatic blades.
• Professional Verification: For military/law enforcement customers requesting special arrangements, we may collect verification documents (processed with strict confidentiality).

Non-Personal Information

• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and operating system to optimize our Site for tactical professionals worldwide.
• Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent, and interactions with product pages (e.g., AKC F-20 OTF or Boker Kalashnikov models) to improve your shopping experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

Like the precision engineering of our automatic knives, we handle your data with purpose and care:

• Process transactions for tactical knives and OTF blades with 256-bit SSL encryption
• Verify your identity for age-restricted knife purchases as required by law
• Provide customer support for collectors and professionals
• Improve our selection of Bear OPS, AKC, and Boker products
• Prevent fraud and unauthorized transactions
• Comply with legal obligations regarding knife sales
• Send order confirmations and shipping updates (no promotional emails unless you opt-in)

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We treat your information with the same discretion expected by tactical professionals:

• Service Providers: Trusted partners who assist with payment processing (PayPal, credit card processors), shipping carriers, and IT security – all bound by confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Compliance: When required by law regarding knife sales or to protect our rights and safety.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition, with notice and continued protection of your data.

We never sell your personal information to third-party marketers.

4. International Data Transfers

As a global supplier (excluding restricted regions), your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, protected by our security measures regardless of location.

5. Data Security

We protect your data with the same reliability as our tactical knives:

• 256-bit SSL encryption for all transactions
• PCI-DSS compliant payment processing
• Tokenization technology for payment data
• Regular security audits of our systems
• Limited employee access to sensitive data

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Receive your data in a portable format
• Withdraw consent where applicable

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may verify your identity to protect your tactical gear purchase history.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our Site uses cookies to:

• Maintain your session (e.g., while building your knife collection)
• Remember your preferences (like currency for international orders)
• Analyze site performance (without identifying individual users)

You can control cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect Site functionality.

8. Policy Updates

We may update this policy as our knife selection and services evolve. Significant changes will be notified to customers where appropriate.
