Voluntary Information
In order to request more information or place a reservation/order on our site or over the phone, we will collect personal information about you via phone, email or our website.

We do not control the use of personal data by third parties and they are bound by their own privacy policies.
If you provide us with information about another person, you confirm that they have authorized you to act for them, that they have consented to the processing of their personal information, including sensitive personal data, and that you have informed them of our identity and the purposes for which their personal data will be processed.
Zoar Outdoor sends out periodic e-newsletters and area- or activity-specific news that we think you’ll want to hear about, but you can count on us to not share your email address with any third-party company without your permission and you can unsubscribe from our emails at any time.
Telephone
When you call Zoar Outdoor to request information about our trips or to place a reservation/order we record your phone number. We also collect phone numbers through many of the forms on our website. Occasionally, our team may reach out by phone to provide you with information you’ve requested or to convey information about your trip, but we will not share your phone number with any third-party company.
Mailing Address
Zoar Outdoor occasionally sends out promotional mailing pieces. From time to time, we may also work with other organizations that we believe are trustworthy and offer products or services that may be of interest to you. In such instances, we might share limited information (such as your name, mailing address, and transaction history) that we have collected from you, including personally identifiable information, so that such organizations may contact you with offers that may interest you. Be assured, however, that we will not share your information with these organizations if you have requested that we refrain from doing so and we will also honor your request not to receive mail from Zoar Outdoor directly.

In addition, notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in this Privacy Policy, we retain the right to use, disclose, and/or share your personal and non-personal information to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, and situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person.
