Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 6th, 2026
Overview
We are committed to protecting your personal information. We do not sell or rent your personal information to other companies for their own marketing. We share it only with the categories of service providers and partners described below, who help us process orders, ship packages, prevent fraud, secure our site, understand how our site is used, and run our newsletter and affiliate program. We respect your privacy rights and will never send unsolicited email or spam.
The following Privacy Policy outlines how your data is used when you access our website, shop with us, or use other digital services we provide.
Policy Updates
We may update this policy by posting a new version with a new Last Updated date. Material changes apply to information we collect after the change takes effect. Your use of this site (www.gpknives.com) is also governed by our Terms of Use.
Information Collected
The data we collect falls into two different categories. You may at any time refuse to disclose this information to us, although some information is required to place an order.
Personal Information: We collect personal information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, payment information, order details and shopping preferences (newsletter subscription, wish list requests, product notifications) when voluntarily provided by the user. If you apply for military and first responder pricing, your eligibility is confirmed by our verification partner. If we ask you for identification to verify an order, we collect the information you provide for that purpose. Card details you enter at checkout are transmitted to our payment processors; we do not store full card numbers. Account information can be viewed and in most cases updated through your user account.
Digital Information: We collect digital information such as IP addresses, device information, geographic location, browser cookies and browsing data.
