Disclaimer & Privacy Policy

Welcome and thanks so much for visiting! Your privacy matters to me and because of internet rules, especially in Europe, I have a very long privacy policy as well as disclaimer information that spells it all out. Grab your favorite beverage, and take a deep dive in!

First and foremost, firearm safety is your responsibility. Always follow all firearm safety and range rules to ensure you stay safe. Instructional videos, shooting tips, trick shots, and other types of posts on JulieGolob.com and on the internet are published for entertainment purposes. Imitation of any activities or any instruction written or shown is to be done solely at your own risk. Me, my affiliates, sponsors, and partners will not be held liable for any injury to you, others or property as a result of attempting anything shown here on JulieGolob.com, JulieG.TV or my social media accounts.

Full disclosure, a purpose of this website is to endorse and share products and services I receive from sponsors and partners. Please visit the Guns & Gear page for a list of current sponsors. This list is subject to change without any advance notice. Recommendations and mentions on JulieGolob.com and JulieG.TV in no way provides any guarantee of your experience with recommended products and or services. I assume no liability for the recommendation of affiliate products, services, or your experience on this site.

Yes, I do collect information from website users, email subscribers, and customers in order to better understand requests and improve the overall user experience. What does that mean? I may automatically collect non-personally identifiable information, like online behavior and information about your choice of a computer, mobile, or other devices. The information collected may include, things like geographic location of you and/or your computer, mobile, or other devices, as well as date/time stamp, IP address, pages visited, time of visits, content viewed, ads viewed, the site(s), application(s), destination(s), and/or service(s) and how you arrived at JulieGolob.com. It sounds complicated, but I collect this info via Google Analytics and use it simply to monitor and improve what I put on this site.

If you download or purchase any products at JulieGolob.com I may ask you to provide your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, and credit card or other payment information. I also keep a history of your purchases. I use this information to fulfill your purchase, to better assist you when you visit or contact me in the future, and improve my product offerings.

For any services that require payment (such as certain events, products, and subscriptions), I may also collect credit card information (account name, number, expiration date, and verification code), which is used for billing purposes only. I may use Apple Pay, PayPal, Amazon, Stripe, or other services for the processing of these payments. These companies also have their own privacy and data usage policies that I encourage you to read. For now, products offered on this site are either free or linked to a third-party affiliate.

Speaking of affiliates, links provided throughout this website may be affiliate links. If you’re taken off the site to purchase a product, like through Amazon or Techwear, please review their data and privacy policies. I may receive a commission if you purchase through these links, but also know there is no extra cost to you if you click or buy. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases as well. I recommend that you do your own independent research before purchasing any product or service.

Registration may be required to participate in certain website features, like commenting or special access to private pages. When you register, you may be asked for personal information, data like your name, email address, and a username and password that you select. I collect this information to identify who you are, to provide you with access to the service you requested, and also communicate forgotten password notifications.

All opinions and comments I make are solely mine and do not represent my sponsors, affiliates, or any organizations I work with. My relationships with brands and organizations do vary. I am considered a sponsored athlete, influencer and/or a brand ambassador. I am not an official spokesperson for any companies or organizations I represent. Very specifically as a former member of the Board of Directors for the National Rifle Association, I am not a representative or spokesperson for the NRA, nor was I as a board member. 

If you sign-up for my newsletters or an email list, I may ask you to provide your name, email address, demographic information, hobbies, and interests. I use this information to provide the requested services as well as provide relevant special offers. I use the demographic information only to improve services, products, marketing, and for industry reporting purposes.

I currently use MailChimp to deliver my email messages. I do gather stats about who opens emails and clicks. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy policy  Remember, you can opt-out of email messages at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions located near the bottom of each message. If you have received an email in error, please hit the reply button and let me know. I’ll do my best to get it straightened out.

When you enter a contest, sweepstakes, or giveaway (“promotion”) I may ask you to provide your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, demographic information, and interests. I use the information collected to administer your participation in the promotion and to notify the winners and award prizes. Name, city, and state may also be listed on the promotion winner’s page.

I may offer promotions that are sponsored, co-sponsored, or presented with identified third parties. I’ll be sure to let you know who these third parties are on the promotion and/or entry form. Note, by participating in such promotions the information you voluntarily submit may be provided to both yours truly and the third parties identified on the form. I also have no control over the third parties’ use of this information. Because participation in these promotions is completely voluntary, you have a choice whether to disclose the requested information.

If you participate in one of my surveys or polls I may ask you to provide your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, demographic information, and/or interests. I use this information for market research, audience analysis and to improve what I share and offer. In some cases I may use a third-party provider like Survey Monkey, to conduct surveys and polls. For more information, please see Survey Monkey’s privacy policy.

Please also keep in mind that I may share survey information with advertisers and marketing partners in an aggregated, non-personally identifiable form. Think big picture stats and data, not your digits. Personal information will only be provided to third parties after ensuring that depending on the circumstances you have either consented or not objected.

If this website collects cookies, it is only to improve your experience. JulieGolob.com and JulieG.TV may have features that automatically collect information from users, to deliver content specific to users’ interests, and to honor their preferences. This information assists me in making this site the best it can be. You can set your browser to accept or reject most cookies or to notify you when a cookie is set. This can be done by visiting the relevant support page for whichever web browser you choose to use.

On to social media! You should know that if you have previously logged on to a social network, such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or LinkedIn, and remain logged in, your browser will send the social network information from the cookie they dropped when you visit websites that offer “Like” and/or “Share” buttons. This will occur even if you do not use these buttons. I have no control over the processes used by social networks and therefore ask you to consult the privacy policy on their websites.

If I sound like a broken record, it is to be clear. My website contains links to other sites that are not affiliate links. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such other sites. When you leave JulieGolob.com please take the time to review the privacy statements of each website to which we may link. They may collect personally identifiable information.

If you choose to comment and post personal information publicly on this site or on social media, it becomes public information. I am not responsible for anything you post here or anywhere.

I do employ safety standards for language and abuse. Discriminatory statements or behavior against others on the basis of race, sex, religion, disability, or origin are not welcome and can be deleted without notice. Robust filters for off-color remarks or those that threaten, harass or abuse anyone and profanity are also in effect. Keep this in mind when debating. You are welcome to share your thoughts, but I strongly encourage you to do so in a way that will engage in a constructive discussion.

Any and all threats will be taken very seriously and I will contact law enforcement and report to appropriate networks as necessary. If you feel threatened on social media or think a comment is inappropriate please contact me immediately. I reserve the right to record, hide and delete any comments and ban users as I see fit. Those who exhibit or imply threatening or abusive behavior will no longer be allowed to participate on page and site activities.

If you are specifically concerned with data and privacy I ask that you check back on this page frequently. If you have any questions please email me.

Finally, please note that the photos on this site are copyrighted, all rights reserved. If you would like any of the images for either professional or personal use, please send me an email.
