Privacy Policy & Cookies
Firstly, please rest assured
Needle Sports will never disclose buyer's information to third parties except for the process of delivering your order (unless we suspect you of criminal activity in which case they will be forwarded to the police!). The Needle Sports website only uses cookies which are essential to process your order, to improve the functioning of the website, and to give customers the option of signing in to our newsletter. We do not use any marketing cookies so you will never receive automated emails from us soliciting 5 star reviews or reminding you that you looked at a pair of boot laces online but have yet to buy them, and our email newsletter is only ever sent out to those who have opted in to it
