Last Updated: [Insert Date]

At FootJoy Store (“we”, “us”, or “our”), operating at swinggeargolf.com, we value your trust as much as you value premium golf equipment. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share information about you when you visit our website or make purchases from our global store (excluding certain Asian and remote regions).

1. Information We Collect

To provide our tournament-grade shopping experience, we collect:

• Personal Information: When you create an account or make purchases, we collect your name, email address, shipping/billing addresses, phone number, and payment details (processed securely through our PCI-compliant systems).

2. How We Use Your Information

Like a well-engineered golf grip, we handle your data with precision for these purposes:

• Processing orders and delivering your premium golf gear worldwide
• Providing customer support with the same care we put into our products
• Improving our website and product offerings based on golfer preferences
• Sending order confirmations, shipping notifications, and service-related communications
• Personalizing your experience with relevant product suggestions (with your consent)
• Preventing fraud and ensuring payment security with 256-bit SSL encryption

• All data is stored on secure servers with industry-standard protections
• Payment information is tokenized and never stored on our systems
• 256-bit SSL encryption secures all transactions
• Regular security audits ensure ongoing protection
