Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 22, 2026

We are a small bow shop. We collect the information we need to take your order, ship it, stand behind it, and keep the website running. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and who helps us handle it. It applies to damonhowatt.com and to the forms and emails connected to it.

Who we are

This site is run by Damon Howatt Productions LLC, 1940 River Rd, Lebanon, OR 97355, USA. You can reach us at HowattArchery@Gmail.com or +1 541-870-4661.

What we collect

Information you give us.

When you order: your name, email address, phone number, shipping address, what you ordered and any options you chose. There are no customer accounts; every order is a guest checkout, and your order confirmation email is your record.
When you contact us or reserve a bow: your name, email address, phone number and whatever you put in the form or email, so we can reply and handle your reservation.
When you register a bow: model, serial number, purchase date, where you bought it, your name, address, email and phone, and your answers to our optional survey questions.
When you apply to become a dealer: business name, dealer name and address, your contact details, and your answers to the questions on the application.
When you sign up for our newsletter: your email address.
When you enter a giveaway: the information requested in that giveaway's official rules, which are posted separately.

Information collected automatically.

Analytics: we use Google Analytics on this site. It collects information such as device type, browser, approximate location based on your IP address, the pages you view, how you got to the site, and shopping events such as adding an item to the cart or completing a purchase. A purchase event includes the order number, order value and the items bought, not your name, email address or address. Google Analytics uses cookies and a randomly generated identifier.
Hosting and security logs: the services that serve the website and run the store record IP addresses, request details and browser information in order to deliver pages, diagnose problems and block attacks.
Cart: a token stored in your browser that ties your browser to your cart. See Cookies and local storage below.

Information from others.

Stripe tells us whether your payment succeeded, the card brand and last four digits, and a payment reference.
Shipping carriers give us tracking and delivery status for your package.

How we use it

To process and ship your order, send order and shipping emails, and handle returns, refunds and warranty claims.
To answer your questions and provide support.
To keep a record of your bow's serial number and ownership for warranty purposes.
To keep the business and tax records we need.
To detect and prevent fraud, duplicate orders and abuse.
To send you our newsletter if you asked for it.
To understand how people use the site and to look at our own sales figures.
To comply with the law and enforce our terms.

Payments: Stripe

Payments are processed by Stripe. When you enter card details at checkout, they go directly from your browser to Stripe over an encrypted connection; our servers do not receive your full card number. We see payment status, card brand, the last four digits, and a Stripe reference. Stripe has its own privacy policy, at stripe.com/privacy.

Who helps us handle it

We use service providers to run the store, and they receive the information they need for that purpose:

Stripe for payment processing, fraud screening, refunds and disputes.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) for hosting the website and the store, its database, security, and sending our email, including order emails and the emails that deliver your form submissions to us. Email sent to our domain is received by AWS and forwarded to our mailbox, which is a Gmail account.
Google for Google Analytics.
Shipping carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx) receive your name, address and phone number so they can deliver your package. For international orders, customs authorities receive what customs requires.
An internal reporting tool that our staff use to look at sales and stock figures from the store database.

We may also share information when the law requires it, to protect our rights or someone's safety, or as part of a sale or reorganization of the business.

Cookies and local storage

Cart token. When you add something to the cart, the store gives your browser a token that identifies your cart, and your browser keeps it in local storage along with the number of items in the cart. The store needs this to work.
Google Analytics cookies (names beginning with _ga), used to distinguish visitors and sessions.
Stripe cookies, which Stripe may set on the checkout page for fraud prevention.
Purchase marker. After an order, your browser keeps a small local-storage flag with the order number so the purchase is reported to analytics once.

You can block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser settings; the cart will not work without local storage for this site.

Email

We send emails about your order: confirmation, shipping and tracking, and refund or cancellation notices, plus replies to your questions. We send newsletter or marketing email only if you signed up for it; email us and we will remove you from the list.

Your information

If you want to know what information we have about you, correct it, or ask us to delete it, email HowattArchery@Gmail.com with the email address you used or your order number.

Where your data is processed

We are in the United States, and our store and our service providers process your information in the United States.

Links to other sites

Our site links to and embeds content from Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo. Those companies may set their own cookies and collect information under their own privacy policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy, and the date at the top shows the current version. This page is linked from the footer of every page; it is not listed by search engines.
