At Kershaw Sales Shop (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operating at sharpknivessale.com, we respect your privacy as discerning collectors of premium cutlery. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or purchase our artisan blades.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our services to knife enthusiasts:

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information exclusively for legitimate business purposes:

• Enhance website functionality and user experience
• Conduct fraud prevention and security checks
• Send service-related communications (order confirmations, shipping updates)

• PCI-DSS compliant payment processing with tokenization
• Regular security audits and vulnerability testing
• Limited employee access to personal data
• Data retention only as long as necessary for legal or operational needs
