Last updated: November 4, 2026

Florida Tackle Supply ("we," "us," or "our") operates the FTS Wholesale Portal at ftswholesale.com and in the FTS Wholesale app for iPhone, iPad and Android (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our Service.

• Business name, contact name, email address, and phone number
• Username and encrypted password
• Sales and Use Tax resale certificate (uploaded annually for compliance)
• Order history and purchasing activity
• Camera (app only, with your permission): the Scan button reads a product barcode on your device. No photo or video is saved or sent to us; only the barcode number is used to find the product.
• Payment information (processed securely by Stripe — we never store card numbers)

3. How We Use Your Information

• Process and fulfill wholesale orders
• Create and manage invoices in our QuickBooks accounting system

4. QuickBooks Integration

Our Service connects to Intuit QuickBooks Online to create invoices and manage customer records. When you place an order, the following data is shared with QuickBooks:

• Your business name and email address
• Order line items, quantities, and pricing

This data is used solely for accounting and invoicing purposes. We do not share your information with Intuit for any other purpose. Intuit's privacy policy is available at intuit.com/privacy.

5. Payment Processing

All payments are processed through Stripe, Inc. We do not store, transmit, or have access to your full credit card numbers. Stripe's privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We share data only with:

• Intuit QuickBooks — for invoicing and accounting

These services are bound by their own privacy policies and are used solely to operate the Service.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account information and order history for as long as your vendor account is active, and for a minimum of 7 years thereafter for tax compliance purposes.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect your information, including encrypted passwords, secure HTTPS connections, and access controls. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us at FloridaTackleSupply@gmail.com. Note that some information may need to be retained for legal and tax compliance purposes.
