Privacy Pledge
Rock/Creek has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our
firm commitment to your privacy. Rock/Creek will not sell, trade, or lease
your personal information to third parties. Ever. The following information
discloses our information-gathering and dissemination practices for
rockcreek.com:
- Our site uses an order form for visitors to purchase products and request
information and services. We collect users’ contact information including
but not limited to addresses, emails, phone numbers and financial
information (such as credit card numbers). Contact information from
the order form is used to send orders, information about our company,
and occasional promotional materials from our partners to our users.
When partners receive customer contact information, partners are informed
of the confidential nature of the information and are limited to use of
the information only for the purposes of planned promotions with
Rock/Creek. The user’s contact information is also used to contact
customers directly when necessary (for instance with questions about their
orders). Some of the products represented on our site ship directly from the
product manufacturer to the customer. In such a case we provide the customer’s
shipping information to the manufacturer for order fulfillment purposes only.
Financial information that is collected is used to bill the customer for
products and services. - Rock/Creek runs contests on our site in which we ask visitors for contact
information (typically an email address). We use this contact information
to notify contest winners, and to send promotional materials from
rockcreek.com and at times some of our partners. Customers who receive our
emails may opt-out of receiving future emails at any time by clicking the
“unsubscribe” link within each email. - This site contains links to other sites. Rock/Creek is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites. - We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and

and your shopping cart. - Our site uses cookies to keep track of your shopping cart. We also use
