Welcome to Kinetic Shop (“we”, “our”, or “us”) at www.recurvebowssale.com. As archery enthusiasts serving fellow bowmen worldwide, we value your trust as much as we value quality craftsmanship in our products. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or make a purchase.

- Provide customer support for archery-specific queries
- Improve our website and product offerings based on archers’ preferences
