CCAT Inc, doing business as Bear Claw Knife & Shear ("we," "us," or "our"), runs bcknife.com and our retail store at 4706 N. Midkiff Rd, Suite 11, Midland, TX 79705. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to bcknife.com and to purchases in our store.
Information you give us. When you place an order, create an account, sign up for emails, send us a message, or buy from us in the store, we may collect:
Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, we and our service providers collect device and browsing information through cookies and similar technologies. This can include your IP address, browser and device type, pages you view, the website that sent you to us, items you add to your cart, and the date and time of your visit. See "Cookies and tracking technologies" below.
Card payments go directly to our payment processors and payment gateway, such as Authorize.Net, Global Payments, and Lightspeed Payments (Cayan). We do not store full card numbers. We may receive limited details, such as card type, the last four digits, and whether a payment was approved.
We use your information to:
Past customers, including in-store and online purchasers, may receive marketing emails from us, and you can unsubscribe at any time. We may also email you if you sign up on our website.
Even after you unsubscribe, we will still send transactional emails, such as order confirmations, shipping notices, and replies to your questions.
At this time, we do not send text messages. Although our staff may call you from time to time regarding business transacted online.
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Some are needed for the website to work. Others help us understand how the website is used and show our ads. Here is what we use:
Essential cookies. Our store platform, Lightspeed, uses cookies to keep items in your cart, run checkout, keep you logged in, and protect the site. It may also collect basic site usage statistics. We also use Cloudflare for security and site performance.
Google Analytics. Tells us how visitors find and use our website, such as which pages are viewed and how long visits last. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Google Ads. Measures whether our Google ads lead to visits and purchases, and lets us show ads to people who have visited our website. You can manage ad personalization in Google Ads Settings. Learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Google Tag Manager. A tool that loads some of the other tools on this list. It does not collect information by itself.
Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram). Tells Meta when you view pages, add items to your cart, or make a purchase on our website. This helps us measure our Facebook and Instagram ads and show ads to people who have visited us. You can manage this in your Meta ad preferences. Learn more in the Meta Privacy Policy.
Microsoft Clarity. Records how visitors use our website, including clicks, scrolling, and mouse movement, so we can see which parts of the site are confusing or broken. Clarity is designed to hide what you type in form fields. Learn more in the Clarity privacy disclosure and the Microsoft Privacy Statement. You can manage Microsoft ad personalization in Microsoft ad settings.
Site widgets and pop-ups. We may use widget providers, such as POWR, to show forms and other website features. These providers may set cookies to work properly.
Embedded videos. Some pages include YouTube videos. YouTube (Google) may set cookies when you view or play them.
Your choices. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, the cart and checkout may not work. Blocking other cookies will not stop you from shopping with us.
We share information only with companies that help us run our business, and only as needed for them to do that work:
We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect our rights or our customers, or if our business is sold or reorganized.
We do not sell your personal information for money.
We keep your information as long as we need it to fill orders, provide customer service, send emails you haven't opted out of, and meet tax, accounting, and legal requirements. After that, we delete it or remove details that identify you.
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, and we rely on established providers for hosting and payments. Our website uses encrypted (HTTPS) connections. No website or storage system is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.
Our website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Knives may only be purchased by adults. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
We ship to the lower 48 United States only. Our website is intended for customers in the United States.
Our website may link to other websites, such as social media pages, manufacturers, and payment or shipping providers. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their privacy policies.
