Privacy Policy
My name is Greg and I am a retired and honorably discharged member of the US Armed Forces and the owner of Bear Essentials Apparel d/b/a Casual Graffix, LLC. There was a saying I heard during my service to America: “Loose lips sink ships.” This maxim sets the tone for Bear Essentials Apparel’s attitude towards our customers’ payment and personal information. We do not share any personal or payment info with anyone. No exceptions.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
1. We will use your personal information to fulfill a request for material about our products and services, for example, a request for tracking information of an order, an order status, or catalog requests.
2. If you have signed up for our email list or provided your email as part of your order request, we will send you creative and thoughtful emails about what’s happening at Bear Essentials Apparel. These emails are typically regarding: sales, promotions, new product launches and other cool things we would like to share with you. The last thing we want to do is stuff your inbox or end up in your spam folder, so if you ever decide you do not want to hear about our products further, all you need to do is email us at [email protected] and we will remove you from our distribution list. No hard feelings.
3. The data crew at BearEssentialsApparel.com gather traffic and navigational information regarding visits to our website. We do not collect any personally identifiable information in this way. We cannot tell that Johnny McTshirts from Plattsburgh has visited our site unless you tell us. Example info that we collect would include: connection speed, browser version, social media interaction, or if you are a new or returning user. We use this information to provide you with the most optimized and enjoyable experience online. For an even better experience, buy our clothing and collect compliments from friends, family, coworkers, and even your annoying neighbor!
4. We occasionally send free promotional materials.
SECURITY WHEN ORDERING ONLINE
We take the security of your personal information very seriously. For all online transactions, your session is secured through Secured Sockets Layer or SSL. You can verify that your connection is secure by looking for the security symbol (usually a padlock) near the address bar (Safari, Chrome, Firefox) or at the bottom (IE, Opera). All personal information is held on secured servers behind beefy firewalls.
REMOVE/EDIT YOUR INFORMATION
As we noted above, you can remove yourself or edit any part of your information from our database at any time. If you would like to do so, log in using the email address (or username) you used to make your purchase here If you have trouble you may also contact us at 518-8918191 or email: [email protected]. We may ask you some questions to make sure we are dealing with the person you say you are, but otherwise, it’s as simple as that.
SHIPPING

However, for bulk orders, the rates are based on the size and weight of your total order.
