Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 18, 2026

Bighorn Troutpost (“Bighorn Troutpost,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through bighorntroutpost.com, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices available to you.

Information we collect

We may collect information you choose to provide when you contact us or submit an inquiry, including your name, email address, phone number, order or event details, and the contents of your message. We also receive basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring page, and approximate usage times through normal website operation, security, and analytics tools.

How we use information

Forms, inquiries, and communications

Information submitted through our contact and inquiry forms may be stored in our WordPress administration system and delivered to our business email so we can respond. We retain these messages only as long as reasonably necessary for customer service, business records, dispute resolution, and legal or security purposes.

Online ordering and third-party services

Some links on this website take you to third-party services, including online ordering, maps, social networks, analytics, spam protection, and embedded media. Those services may collect information directly under their own privacy policies. Online ordering and payment information are handled by the applicable third-party ordering provider; Bighorn Troutpost does not ask you to submit payment-card information through this website.

Cookies and analytics

This website may use necessary cookies and similar technologies for security, functionality, preferences, and performance. We may use Google Analytics through Site Kit and other WordPress or Jetpack measurement tools to understand traffic and site usage. These services may use cookies and receive technical information about your visit. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect website functionality.

Comments and media

If comments are enabled, we collect the information shown in the comment form along with your IP address and browser information for spam detection. Comments and their metadata may be retained while the comment remains published or as needed for moderation, security, and legal purposes. If you upload images, avoid including embedded location data such as GPS information.

Who we share information with

We may share information with service providers that help us host, secure, operate, analyze, or communicate through the website, including WordPress-related services, spam detection, analytics, form and email services, and third-party services you choose to use. We may also disclose information when required by law, to respond to lawful requests, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Bighorn Troutpost, our visitors, or others. We do not sell personal information.

Your choices and privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of personal information we hold about you. You may also ask us to stop using your information for a particular purpose. To make a request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request, and some information may be retained when required for legal, security, or legitimate business purposes.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review and delete it when appropriate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices or legal requirements change. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the effective date above.
