About privacy and security
Our approach to security at Empire Fishing and Boating is designed to protect both our suppliers and our customers. Read about how we keep you and your information safe.
Before you begin
If we change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our website to keep you aware of what information that we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
Protecting the privacy of minors is especially important. For that reason, Empire Fishing and Boating does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to register with our Service. If you are under 18, please do not send any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number or email address. No one under the age of 18 is allowed to provide any personal information to, or on, our platform. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us via email at info@empirefishingandboating.com, or by phone at 02 4309 6609.
Additionally, you must be over 18 in order to buy through our online store.

Security at Empire Fishing and Boating
To protect Empire Fishing and Boating account holders and their customers, all information our customers submit is encrypted to our servers, regardless of whether you’re using a public or private Wi-Fi connection or a data service on your phone (such as 4G or 5G).
​
Empire Fishing and Boating protects its systems with industry-leading technology and security controls from Lightspeed, including:
​
-
Data encryption within the card reader at the moment of swipe.
-
Our store inventory and payment platform is developed using industry-standard security best practices.
-
Lightspeed servers are monitored around the clock by dedicated security staff.
-
Lightspeed and Empire Fishing and Boating employees act in accordance with security policies designed to keep your data safe.

Since Lightspeed itself is PCI compliant, we don’t require account holders to validate PCI compliance. Merchants who use Lightspeed for all storage, processing and transmission of payment card data do not need to validate PCI compliance for those transactions.
