This page informs you of our policies regarding collecting, using, and disclosing personal information when you use our service.
1. Who we are
We are Country Crossbow. Our official website address is https://countrycrossbow.com. NichEgg LLC operates the Country Crossbow website (the “Service”).
2. Information collection and use
While using our service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to, your email address, name, and phone number (“Personal Information”).
We collect this information to provide the service, identify and communicate with you, respond to your requests and inquiries, service your purchase orders, and improve our services.
We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this privacy policy.
We use your personal information to provide and improve the service. By using the service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this privacy policy, terms used in this privacy policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions.
3. Comments and profiles
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. We also collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profiles. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

This log data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.
In addition, we may use third-party services, such as Google Analytics, that collect, monitor, and analyze this type of information in order to increase our service’s functionality.

Ad networks allow us to target our advertising to users through click-stream, demographic, behavioral, and contextual information.
