- The Help features on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on’s settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of the Website’s essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any of the Website’s products and services that require you to sign into your account. You may manage your cookie preferences on the Website by clicking on “Cookie Preferences” at the footer of the Website.
- Tracking pixels or tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, API calls, SDKs, JavaScript, and similar technologies are items that can function similarly to cookies or that otherwise assist tracking by collecting certain information about your interaction with the Website (e.g., counting users who open an HTML-formatted email message, distinguishing visitors and counting pages they visit and authenticating them, etc.).
- Grizzly also uses analytics services, such as Google Analytics and Hotjar, to collect information to better understand our Website visitors’ needs and to optimize the Website and experience.

U.S. Supplemental Privacy Notice
Certain state privacy laws require additional disclosures. To the extent such laws apply, we have provided a separate disclosure to address the data and personal information privacy rights of those state residents. To view our U.S. Supplemental Privacy Notice, HERE. The U.S. Supplemental Privacy Notice supplements the information contained in this Privacy Policy.
Privacy Notice for Nevada Residents
Nevada law allows customers to "opt-out" of the sale of certain personal information as defined in the law ("Covered Information"). At Grizzly, we do not engage in sales of covered information as defined by applicable Nevada law and do not currently have plans to change that practice. To the extent our plans change, we will update our Privacy Policy and disclosures to allow for a designated mechanism for Nevada residents to submit a verified request.
Are Children Allowed to Use Grizzly.com?
Grizzly does not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from any person under the age of 13 and no parts of our Website are directed to or designed to attract anyone under the age of 13. Grizzly does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell some children’s products for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may not create an account or purchase products from us.
Does Grizzly.com Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it for monetary consideration to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries Grizzly controls or affiliates that are either subject to this Privacy Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy.
- Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering packages, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, providing analytics and digital advertising services, and providing customer service. We provide them with access to personal information needed to perform their functions.
- Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries, or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the event that Grizzly is engaged in a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy, customer information generally would be one of the transferred assets.
- Protection of Grizzly and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce our rights; enforce or apply our Terms & Conditions and other agreements; protect the rights, property, or safety of Grizzly, our affiliates and/or subsidiaries, our users, or others; or as needed to support external auditing, compliance and corporate governance functions. We will disclose personal information as we deem necessary to respond to a subpoena, regulation, binding order of a data protection agency, legal process, governmental request or other legal or regulatory process. We may also share personal information as required to pursue available remedies or limit damages we may sustain. This includes exchanging information with other companies for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Policy.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We strive to maintain appropriate administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect the security of personal information that we collect. However, please note that no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information.

By providing your phone number and clicking submit online, you agree to the Grizzly Terms & Conditions and this Privacy Policy, and authorize us to make or initiate sales calls, text messages and prerecorded voicemails to that phone number using an automated system.

What Choices Do I Have?
- As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such Website features as Your Profile, Wish List, or Customer Reviews.
- You may also access or modify your information and modify your communication preferences through your account. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records.
- You may request to delete your account under your account settings. Grizzly, however, will retain all information created under that account as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws or regulations.

Do Not Track is a privacy preference that you can set in your web browser to indicate that you do not want certain information about your webpage visits collected across websites when you have not interacted with that service on the page.

Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions
If you choose to visit the Website, your visit and any dispute over privacy are subject to this Privacy Policy and the Grizzly Terms & Conditions, including limitations on damages, resolution of disputes, and application of the law of the state of Washington. Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Policy and the Grizzly Terms & Conditions will change also. We may email you to notify you of any material changes to our Privacy Policy and Grizzly Terms & Conditions, but you should check our Website frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have about you and your account.
Interest-Based Advertising
We may collect information about your online activities on our Website to provide you with advertising about products tailored to your individual interests. We also may obtain information for this purpose from third-party websites on which our advertisements are served.
You may see certain advertisements on other websites because we work with advertising partners (including advertising networks) to engage in remarketing and retargeting activities. Our advertising partners allow us to target our messaging to users through demographic, interest-based and contextual means. These partners track your online activities over time and across websites, including our Website, by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of third-party cookies, web server logs and web beacons. They use this information to show you advertisements that may be tailored to your individual interests. The information our advertising partners may collect includes data about your visits to websites that participate in the relevant advertising networks, such as the pages or advertisements you view and the actions you take on the websites. This data collection takes place both on our Website and on third-party websites that participate in the ad networks. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. For example, we utilize certain of our advertising partners’ targeted advertising services to show you our advertisements on other websites based on your prior visits to our Website and other online activity.
Provided that a company participates in industry-developed programs designed to provide consumers choices about whether to receive targeted advertising, you may opt out of interest-based advertising generally through the Network Advertising Initiative website or by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (web-based advertising) or http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices (for mobile advertising). To learn more, please visit the websites operated by the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance at www.networkadvertising.org/choices. Opting-out does not mean that you will stop receiving advertisements from us. It means that you still stop receiving advertisements from us that have been targeted to you based on your visits and browsing activity across websites over time.
