Bait N' Hook is committed to respecting your privacy and recognizing your

with us (the phrase "personal information" means any information by which you
can be identified, such as your name, mailing address, email address, telephone
number, etc.). The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you what personal

Collecting Information About You
There may be times (such as when you purchase or order a product, subscribe to a
service, register to receive catalogs, or to participate in contests,
sweepstakes or promotions, etc.) when we ask you to provide certain information
about yourself, such as your name, shipping/billing address, telephone number,
email address, credit card information, birth date, gender, occupation, personal
interests, etc. We may also maintain a record of your product purchases.
Whether or not to provide such information is completely your own choice. But if
you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to
purchase products, or access certain services, offers and content on our web
site. In addition, we may need to contact you via phone, email or mail to
address questions or issues specific to your order, entry, etc., even if you
have opted to not receive communications from us.
In general, you can visit many of our web pages without telling us who you are
or revealing any personal information about yourself. We may track the Internet
domain address from which people visit us and analyze this data for trends and
statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous, unless you voluntarily
tell us who you are.
Using Information About You
We use the personal information you provide for internal purposes, such as
confirming and tracking your order, subscription or registration, analyzing
trends and statistics, informing you of our new products, services and offers,
and providing you with information from and about Bait N' Hook. From time to
time we might establish a business relationship with other persons or entities
whom we believe trustworthy and whom we have asked to confirm that their privacy
policies are consistent with ours. These are known as our Bait N' Hook Partners.
In such cases we might share and cross-reference information, including personal
information about you that will enable such persons or entities to contact you
regarding products and services that may be of interest to you.
To serve you better, we may combine information you give us online, in our
stores or through our catalogs. We may also combine that information with
publicly available information and information we receive from or
cross-reference with our Bait N' Hook Partners and others. We use that combined
information to enhance and personalize your shopping experience with us, to
communicate with you about our products and events that may be of interest to
you, and for other promotional purposes.
We may contract with companies or persons to provide certain services including
credit card processing, shipping, data management, promotional services, etc. We
call them our Service Providers. We provide our Service Providers with the
information needed for them to perform these services. We also ask our Service
Providers to confirm that their privacy practices are consistent with ours.
Although unlikely, in certain instances we may disclose your personal
information when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against persons or entities who may be causing
injury to you, to Bait N' Hook or to others. We may also disclose your personal
information when we believe the law requires it.
Editing, Updating, Correcting and Deleting Information About You

Protecting Children
Bait N' Hook takes special care to protect the safety and privacy of children.
Our web sites are general audience sites. We do not permit anyone under the age
of 13 to register with us. We also do not send email correspondence to anyone
who tells us that they are under the age of 13 without their parent's consent.
Children under the age of 13 should always ask their parents or guardians for
permission before providing any personal information to anyone online. We urge
parents and guardians to participate in their children's online activities and
use parental control or other web filtering technology to supervise children's
access to the web.
Cookies
Our web sites use "cookies." A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to
your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive.
Generally, we use cookies to remind us of who you are, tailor our products and
services to suit your personal interests, estimate our audience size, assist our
online merchants to track visits to and sales at our sites and to process your
order, track your status in our promotions, contests and sweepstakes, and/or
analyze your visiting patterns. You can generally set your browser to not accept
cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to
decide whether or not to accept it.
We may contract with third parties who may use cookies and collect information
on our behalf. These third parties are prohibited by our contract with them from
sharing that information with anyone other than us or our Service Providers.
However, we respect your right to choose whether to be included in such
services. If you would like to opt out of these services, please contact us.
Security
We take precautions, including use of sophisticated encryption and
authentication tools, to protect the security of your personal information that
you share with us. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to
protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security
of any information you transmit to or from our web sites, and you do so at your
own risk.
We urge you to keep your password in a safe place and not to divulge it to
anyone. Also remember to log off your account and close your browser window when
you have finished your visit. This is to ensure that others cannot access your
account, especially if you are sharing a computer with someone else or are using
a computer in a public place such as a library or Internet cafe.
Links to Third Party Sites
Our web sites may contain links to web sites operated and maintained by third
parties, over which we have no control. Privacy policies on such linked sites
may be different from our privacy policy. You access such linked sites at your
own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of a linked site before
disclosing any personal information on such site.

1. SECURITY ASSURANCE
Bait N' Hook guarantee's that your credit card information is safe with us! In
an effort to further protect the consumer against fraudulent charges, Bait N'
Hook offers our customers total security assurance.
Here's how we protect you:
1) First, our site uses the latest in encryption technology, digital
certificates, secure commerce servers and authentication to ensure that your
personal information is secure online. Bait N' Hook uses digital certificates
from Comodo, Inc., a trusted third-party Certification Authority (CA). Also
known as Digital IDs, these digital certificates are similar to your driver's
license, passport or membership card in that they prove your identity. Digital
IDs are useful in electronic commerce because they verify the identity of the
parties involved. Making a credit card purchase at Bait N' Hook is actually more
secure than using your credit card at the local store or restaurant.
2) Bait N' Hook uses 128 bit encryption for maximum security for communications
over the Internet. Furthermore, Bait N' Hook ensures the privacy of the
information not only online, but through our back-end systems.
According to CNN, "The prevalent opinion...is that on-line credit card use is
actually no riskier for consumers than traditional "low-tech" transactions." We
order products online all the time, both as a company and as individuals. When
we use a credit card to buy something online, we feel at least as safe as we
would using one in a store or restaurant.
