Welcome to the Common Sense Self-Defense / Street Combat (CSSD/SC) Privacy Policy!
Our goal is to make sure we are only collecting information we need to best serve you, including communicating with you.
Plus, rest assured, we will not sell or rent your personal information to others. Ever!
We do use a few third-party resources, and we have links to their privacy policies below.
Here are the details…
Collection of your Information
Site Visits and Tracking
At this time we don’t use any visit or tracking software besides that built into our shopping cart software. This software will identify your IP address and use cookies to remember what you put in your shopping cart. Disabling cookies in your web browser will prevent the shopping cart software from identifying an abandoned cart Google and Facebook from tracking your page visits, but it will likely break other aspects of this website. Many areas of this website need cookies enabled to function correctly.
Emails / Forms
When you send an email to us, whether it be a direct email or an email through a form filled out on cssd-sc.com, any personal information you include with your email will be stored on the email server we use (which is currently the service provided by PairNetworks).
We utilize MailChimp to send out our newsletters. The only personal information we store on on their server is you name and email address. Through MailChimp, we can see if you have read or opened the newsletter or if you have unsubscribed. You are able opt out of these newsletters at anytime, however, if you unsubscribe, you may miss out on information on training events, new knives or anything CSSD/SC related. We consider MailChimp to be a third-party data processor.
Purchases
When you purchase a product or service we offer, we collect your personal information as part of the checkout process. We collect information such as your name, email address, and mailing address in order to complete the transaction.
When you enter credit card numbers for payment, that data is not stored on our servers or internal computer systems. It is forwarded and stored securely on our payment processors’ servers. We currently use Paypal to process payments. We consider Paypal to be a third-party data processor.
