Last Updated: November 30th, 2023
Our Commitment To Privacy
Your privacy is important to Rocky Brands™️. To protect the privacy of the visitors ("you") to the Georgia Boot® websites ("Sites"), Georgia Boot® ("/us/our") has developed this Privacy Policy ("this Policy") to explain our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. Please read below for more specific information on the type of information that we collect and how we use it.
Types Of Information We Collect
We will ask you when we need information that identifies you individually or allows us to contact you
directly ("personal information").
We may ask for personal information when you purchase a product, enter a contest, request a service,
complete a survey, subscribe to a news, or engage in some other activity on our sites. In connection
with these activities, we may ask you for contact information such as your name, telephone number, and
email address.
When you visit our sites, we collect standard information about your hardware and software such as your
IP addresses, browser type, operating system, pages visited on our site, referring and exit pages, and
the dates and times of the visits.
This site visitation data is used to administer the site and provide general statistics regarding the use
of Rocky Brands™️. Site visitation data is never linked to your personal information, and we do not use it
to identify you individually without your permission.
We will keep any and all information collected from you at this site strictly confidential and we will
not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for their
promotional use without your permission.
How We Use The Information We Collect
Information collected from any of our sites may be used for the purpose of sending promotional
information, contest information, product specials, or services to you if have submitted your
information for these purposes. We sometimes use this information to communicate with you, such as to
notify you when you have won one of our contests or when we make changes to our subscriber agreements
and/or any programs you may have signed up for.
If we do send any promotional emails, we will provide you with an email address or Opt-Out link by which
you may inform us that you do not wish to receive such materials in the future. You can opt-out of
communications from Rocky Brands™️ at any time (see "Control of Personal Information" below).
We will not share any personal information without your permission with any unaffiliated third parties,
unless required by law.
We will use the personal information you give us to fulfill the services and provide the products you
request from us. This may include sending information that you have requested, or contacting you about
products and services that you have purchased.
We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and
content of our site and to help us improve your overall Internet experience. For example, we may use
this data to tailor your experience at our website, showing you content that we think you might be
interested in, and displaying content according to your preferences. We also may use this information to
analyze site usage.
We sometimes contract with other companies to provide services such as packaging and mailing information,
answering user questions, or processing credit card transactions. We will only provide these partners
with the information they need to conduct their services, they will be prohibited from using the
information we provide for any other purpose and we will require them to observe the intent of this
Policy.
We may disclose your personal information when we reasonably believe that it is required by a law or
legal process and to protect and defend our rights and interests and the rights and interests of our
affiliates, suppliers, or users. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any
activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful. We may release certain personal information
when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to enforce or apply these terms and conditions
or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves.
In the event we go through a business transition, such as a merger, an acquisition by another company, or
a sale of all or a portion of our assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part
of the assets transferred. Notifications of such a transition will be made using the mechanisms
described in the "Changes to this Statement" section below.
Use Of Cookies And Other Electronic Tools
We and/or our partners (e.g., service providers, business partners, advertisers and advertising servers)
may place, view, and/or use cookies, Web server logs, Web beacons, or other electronic tools to collect
statistical and other information about your use of our sites and other websites.
To pursue the objectives described in this Privacy Policy, information collected about your use of our
sites or other websites may be aggregated, analyzed or combined with personal or other information about
you from other online or offline sources. If you prefer that we not combine the information that has
been collected, through cookies, about your use of our sites or other websites with personal or other
information about you, then please delete and disable cookies for each browser, on each computer you use
to surf the Web.
Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually set your browser to
disable cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Likewise, most mobile devices allow you to
disable the ability for geo-location information to be collected from your mobile device. The help
function on most browsers and mobile devices contains instructions on how to set your browser to notify
you before accepting cookies, disable cookies entirely, or disable the collection of geo-location data.
However, if you disable cookies or refuse to accept a request to place a cookie, it is possible that some
parts of our sites, such as the surveys, contests, and promotions, and certain areas of our sites for
which you need to log in, will not function properly, and the advertising you receive when you visit our
sites may not be advertisements tailored to your interests.
Third Party Cookies
In the course of serving advertisements to you in emails, third-party advertisers or ad servers may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser. The use of cookies by such third party advertisers or ad servers is not subject to this Policy, but is subject to the privacy policies of those third parties.
Links From Email

If you link to any of these third party websites, this Policy will not apply to your use of, and activities on, those sites. We encourage you to read the legal notices posted on these sites, including their privacy policies.

Transferring Personal Information From The EU To The US
Georgia Boot is headquartered in the United States. Information you provide to us or we collect from you will be processed in the United States.

In particular, we collect and transfer your personal information to the United States only: with your consent; to perform Services under the contracts we have in place with you; or to fulfill a compelling legitimate interest of Georgia Boot® that does not outweigh your rights or freedoms. We strive to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal information and to use it only as described in this Policy. We also enter into data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses with our vendors, whenever feasible and appropriate. For more information regarding the GDPR and data transfers, please go to https://ec.europa.eu/commission/priorities/justice-and-fundamental-rights/data-protection/2018-reform-eu-data-protection-rules_en

Your privacy is important to us and because of this all credit card transactions made through any Rocky Brands™️ website are protected and guaranteed secure through VeriSigns SSL encryption. Only those Rocky Brands™️ employees who need access to your information in order to perform their duties are allowed access. Any employee who violates our privacy and/or security policies may be subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination and civil and/or criminal prosecution.
