Privacy Policy

At Gerber Knives Store (“we”, “us”, or “our”), operating at automaticknifesale.com, we value your trust as seriously as we value the craftsmanship of our premium knives. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or purchase our products.

1. Information We Collect

• Usage Data: How you interact with our site, including pages visited, time spent, and products viewed (particularly our collections like Boker Kalashnikov or Bear OPS butterfly knives).
• Communication Data: Records of your inquiries about products like California-legal automatics or training butterfly knives.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data helps us deliver the precision service matching our knife craftsmanship:

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We handle your data with the same discretion as handling premium blades:

• Legal Requirements: When required by law, especially regarding age verification for automatic knife purchases.
• Business Transfers: In case of merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, customer information may be transferred with appropriate protections.

We never sell your personal information to third parties.

As we serve customers globally (excluding certain Asian and remote regions), your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own. We ensure all transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

We protect your data with the same precision as our Gerber automatic knives:

• SSL encryption for all data transmissions
• Secure payment processing with PCI DSS compliant partners
• Regular security audits of our systems
• Limited employee access to sensitive data

Despite our measures, no internet transmission is 100% secure. We encourage customers to use strong passwords and monitor account activity.
