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.
Our Commitment: We never sell your personal data. We collect only what’s necessary to serve you better, and we protect it with industry-standard security measures.

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.
International Data Transfers: As we serve working professionals globally (excluding a few remote regions), your data may be processed in countries other than your own. We ensure all transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and provide adequate safeguards.
4. Data Storage and Security
We protect your data with the same rigorous standards we apply to our product safety features:
Storage Practices:

- Order information is kept for legal and accounting purposes as required by applicable laws

- 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
