Thank you for visiting our Children’s Privacy Policy (“Policy“)! Here at Vista Outdoor, and its related companies and brands, including Raskullz and Krashco (also referred to as, “Vista” “we” “us” or “our”), we do our very best to protect your privacy when you use our Services.

In this policy we use the term “Personal Information.” That term means any information that could be used to identify you or describe you. This information includes your name, address, date of birth, and even your mobile devices, tablets, and computers. Adults and parents of children can review our general Privacy Policy for more information on our practices with respect to Personal Information.

In other words, we may do everything described above, except the information is fixed in a way that it cannot be traced back to you. This data is not Personal Information.

We may share or disclose the Personal Information we collect as follows:

  • Service providers:We may share Personal Information with third-party service providers who use this information to perform services for us, such as hosting providers, auditors, advisors, consultants, customer service and/or support providers (pretty much all the other companies that help us do stuff).

  1. Cookies and Analytics

We do not use cookies (not the kind you eat), pixels, tags, and other tracking technologies.

  1. Children’s Privacy

All default privacy settings provided to children under the age of 18 years old are configured to the highest level of privacy. In the event we collect Personal Information from children we will obtain verifiable parental consent prior to collection.

If you have concerns over the collection of children’s Personal Information on the Website or you wish to withdraw consent to collect your child’s Personal Information, please contact us at the information provided in the Contact Us section below.

  1. Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us and we have put in place reasonable safeguards to protect the Personal Information we collect (think of a giant moat or fortress that protects your Personal Information). However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches will never occur. We encourage you to take steps to keep your Personal Information safe, such as choosing a strong password and logging out of your User Account and closing your web browser when you finish using the Services.

  1. Links to Third-party Websites

The Website provides links to various websites operated by other companies, which may include sites that display our trademarks (pretty much our logos). This Policy does not apply to third-party websites that are accessible through our Services, unless such website directs users or visitors to this Policy. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of those other websites to learn how they collect, use, share, and secure your information before providing any Personal Information.

  1. Retention

We will keep and use your Personal Information for as long as needed in order to provide you with our Services, with requested information, or access to the Website; to document our business relationship with you; and as necessary to comply with our legal responsibilities, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. However, we will not keep and use your Personal Information if it would break a law or if it is not allowed under this Policy. As soon as it is reasonable to assume your Personal Information is no longer needed or required, we will stop keeping your Personal Information, or remove any information that can be associated with you.

  1. Your Rights

When you use our Services, you also have certain rights over your Personal Information:

  • The right to know. This right allows you to receive clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your Personal Information and your rights. This is the reason why we give you this Policy.
  • The right of access. If we process your Personal Information, this right allows you to access it and certain other helpful information such as where we collected it from, why we collect it, and with whom we share it with. This is helpful for your own awareness and to double check that we do not break any data protection laws when we use your Personal Information.
  • The right to delete. This right allows you to request that we delete or remove your information because there is no reason for us to use it anymore. Sometimes though, we may not delete or remove your information as requested because an exception applies. For example, we may need to keep your Personal Information so we can provide you with our Services or respond to your requests.
  • The right to correct. This right allows you to request that we correct any Personal Information about you that may be wrong.

We usually respond to your requests and provide information for free, but we may charge a reasonable fee, if you send too many requests for the same information or if you do not have a valid reason for sending the request. We may also choose not to act on your request at all in some events.

California Shine the Light Law

If you live in California and provide certain Personal Information, you may request and obtain (for free) information about the Personal Information (if any) we have shared with other companies during the immediately preceding calendar year for their own direct marketing use, as allowed under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.83). We do not share information with third parties for this purpose.

  1. Changes to this Policy

We review this Policy regularly, and it may be updated from time to time. When we make changes to this Policy, we will change the “Last Updated” date above. We may also notify you in advance of any important changes, such as by posting a notice of that change on the first page of this Policy or on our homepage, or by emailing your email address of record with us.
