Sporty's Privacy Policy

Last Revised 01/23/2024

For over sixty years our philosophy has been to earn and keep our customers’ trust and to provide the best service and customer satisfaction in the retail industry. Because of this philosophy, we treat the information you provide us in confidence. Sporty’s consistently works to improve Sporty’s security measures. However, no security system is foolproof and Sporty’s cannot guarantee the security of the user’s information.

When you visit Sporty's Sites, our web server will recognize your Internet service provider. This collection of visitor information allows us to make our site work better for you. Your name and address are stored on our web server so it is available when you log in to your account with your username and password.

When ordering or requesting a catalog, customers provide Sporty’s with certain information such as name, physical and email address, telephone number, credit card number, etc. This information is necessary to process an order. A customer’s telephone number is used when we have a question about the order. It may also be used by a delivery service if there is a question about delivery. For its own use and for your future transactions Sporty’s retains information about its customers.

After Sporty's has received an individual's consent Sporty's may send promotional and personal marketing text (e.g., SMS and MMS) messages. If Sporty's receives a text response with the word "stop" it will stop sending you text message solicitations.

We send customers periodic catalog mailings and send emails announcing items we believe may be of interest to them. We also make our mailing list (name and address only, not our email list or telephone numbers) available to a few reputable, carefully screened companies whose products you may find of interest. You may opt-out of catalog mailings and/or our transfer of mailing lists to other companies. You may also access the information we have about you and make corrections or deletions it if it is inaccurate. We also receive mailing list information from other companies. We may also share personal information with third party marketing partners for commercial purposes.

Personal information is released to law enforcement agencies if requested or if there is a court order. Please let us know by email or telephone if you do not wish us to disclose your mailing list information, which includes some personal information, to any third parties.

We expect to continue to earn your trust for at least another sixty years.
