Privacy Policy

At Leupold Store, we protect your personal data with the same tactical precision we apply to crafting our field-ready optics and outdoor gear. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit leupoldstore.com or make purchases from our Washington-based expedition outfitters.

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, with the precision of following wilderness regulations
• Business Transfers: In the event of a company transition, your data would be protected under this policy

• Marketing Cookies: Only used with your consent to show relevant gear recommendations

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

7. International Operations

We may update this policy as regulations evolve – significant changes will be communicated like important weather alerts for your expedition.
