While having the privacy of your tent in the woods is great, maintaining your online privacy is essential. That’s why we do everything possible to keep your personal information safe and don’t ever share it with others— unless you say it’s okay. Our policy around privacy is crystal clear like a mountain stream. You’ll always know:
This policy applies to our treatment of personally identifiable information that we collect through our website and when you use our services. The policy does not apply to practices of companies whose websites may be linked to ours. For access to the privacy policies of such linked websites, please refer to the information provided by such websites at their home pages. Also see the paragraph below under the heading “Hypertext Links”.
We collects personally identifiable information when you request information from us. On such occasions, we may ask for your name, email address, zip code and personal information concerning your interests, occupation, gender and other demographic information. We also receive and record information from server logs from your browser including cookie information relating to pages requested.
We do not seek to collect such information from persons under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not submit any such information to us. If you are the parent or guardian of a person under the age of 18 who has provided such information to us, please inform us (through the our website or telephone number listed above) and we will remove such information from our database as described further below.
In addition, no person (of any age) is required to provide us with the personally identifiable information we request. If you do not wish to provide such information, you are free not to do so. Your provision of requested information to us through Kelty’s website or other means is presumed by us to be voluntary and with your consent to the uses described herein. If after submitting personally identifiable information to us, you wish to “opt-out,” please contact us as noted above and we will remove your information from our database as set forth below in the section titled “Managing Your Information.” Please know that such a decision will not stop advertising or content that is generated prior to the time when we can accomplish the removal of your information.
We use the information you provide to us to customize advertising and content that we present to you, to contact you concerning specials and new products and to enhance our product offerings. We will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to any third party except when:
We use cookies to enhance the interactive nature of your Internet experience and to provide a convenient feature to save you time. Cookies enable us to quickly retrieve specific information from previous visits and to recall features that you may have customized on your browser.
You are entitled to request access to and correction of all your personal data collected by us via our website, as well as to require us to delete your data if you no longer want us to process it. You can make such a request or a related inquiry by contacting us. Please note that there may be a small charge for making an access request or it may be free, depending on the circumstances. You can find out more details by emailing or calling us as provided above. We will keep your data as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this privacy policy. You may choose not to receive unsolicited marketing material from us and you have the right to request deletion of your Kelty account information, subject to our need to keep appropriate archives for business operations.
We employ reasonable measures to maintain all personally identifiable information provided by you on computer servers in a controlled and secured environment in an effort to hinder unauthorized access, loss, alteration, use or disclosure of such information. We utilize secure socket layer encryption technology and firewall network protection to protect personally identifiable information that is transmitted to our e-commerce website. Unfortunately, the nature of the Internet is such that information may be transmitted over networks without appropriate security measures and may be accessed, deleted, altered, used or disclosed by unauthorized persons.
Because of the international nature of the services and products provided by our website and the nature of our business, personal data may, subject to applicable law, be transferred internationally throughout Kelty world-wide for the purposes described above. This may mean that personal data are transferred to countries which do not have laws or regulations which protect personal data, such as the United States, where the server for our website is located. We use reasonable measures to limit the disclosure of the data you provide to us only to certain staff within Kelty and its affiliates (i.e. staff whose job it is to process your inquiries and survey answers or otherwise to administer our website, and those staff involved in the provision of Kelty services and products which may be of interest to you) and to require that they process the data only for the purposes identified in this privacy policy.
To protect our customers from fraudulent transactions on our e-commerce website, all orders are subject to review and verification. As part of the verification process, an order may be temporarily placed on hold in order to verify credit card billing information, which may include contacting the credit card holder.
We may make modifications or amendments to this policy from time to time. In the event that such changes alter how we gather, process, use or disclose your personally identifiable information, Kelty will post such changes on our website.
We, along with our suppliers, licensors, or the original creators of all materials on our website own all copyrightable subject matter on Kelty’s website and all trademarks, patents, proprietary information, technologies, products, processes or other proprietary rights of Kelty and/or such other parties. No license to or right in any such copyrights, trademarks, patents, proprietary information, technologies, products, processes and other proprietary rights of Kelty and/or other parties is granted to or conferred upon you. In addition, direct linking, deep linking, framing, page-jacking, metatagging, and using a robot, spider, or automated device of any kind to monitor or copy Kelty’s website is strictly prohibited.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we hereby authorizes you only to copy the content herein solely for your personal and private use in learning about, evaluating, or acquiring Kelty products. Except where expressly noted, no other permission is granted to print, copy, reproduce, distribute, transmit, upload, download, store, display in public, alter, or modify the content contained on this website. Any unauthorized use of any material contained on this website may violate copyright laws, trademark laws, the laws of privacy and publicity, and communications regulations and statutes.

The use of such materials on any other website or in any environment of networked computers is prohibited.
In the event this website contains hypertext links to websites that are not created or maintained by Kelty, this privacy policy applies only to Kelty’s website and not to any of these third party websites. We are not responsible for the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, or completeness of those third party websites. The inclusion of any link to such websites does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or recommendation by Kelty of the third party websites. We disclaims any liability for links (1) from another website to this website, and (2) to another website from this website.
