Privacy Policy

At Georgia Boot Store, we believe in building trust through transparency and security. Just as our Steel Toe Work Boots, Insulated Logger Boots, and Military Boots are engineered for protection in the toughest environments, our approach to your personal data is designed with the same commitment to security and reliability. We serve construction workers, linemen, loggers, ranchers, hunters, and industrial personnel worldwide, and we take our responsibility to protect your information as seriously as we take our responsibility to provide you with durable, professional-grade footwear.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide better service to all our customers—from the professional needing 8-Inch Steel Toe Boots for a construction site to the hunter looking for Insulated Hunting Boots for a season in the wilderness.

We treat your data like we treat our customers—with respect and professionalism. We share information only when necessary:

We may disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a court order or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Georgia Boot Store, our customers, or others.

Business Transfers:

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Data Storage and Security

We protect your data with the same rigorous standards we apply to our product safety features:

Storage Practices:

• We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy
• Order information is kept for legal and accounting purposes as required by applicable laws
• Inactive accounts may be archived or deleted after a period of inactivity

• SSL Encryption: All transactions on workingpersonus.com are protected with industry-standard SSL encryption—scrambling your data into secure code from checkout to confirmation
• PCI Compliance: Our payment processing follows strict PCI-DSS standards
• Limited Access: Employee access to personal data is restricted to those with a legitimate business need

Think of our security measures as the Internal Metatarsal Guard for your personal information—an essential layer of protection you can count on.
