Welcome to the Orvis website. This Privacy Policy will provide you with information on how we at The Orvis Company Inc. (“Orvis”) are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy.
Your privacy is very important to us, so we want you to understand our practices with regard to collecting and using your personal data both online and offline, and the steps we take to safeguard it. This statement applies to all personal data collected from our customers.
When this Privacy Policy uses the term “personal data”, the term has the meaning ascribed to it by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For your general understanding, Personal data is any information that personally identifies you or from which you could be identified either directly or indirectly. It includes (but may not be limited to) data that identifies a particular individual, such as the individual’s name, postal address, e-mail address, credit card number, and telephone number. When other information, such as, for example, consumer product preferences, or number of children, is directly associated with personal data, this other information also becomes personal data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
Under the EU GDPR, Orvis is the “data controller”. We welcome any and all questions and feedback. For privacy-related issues, please contact us at:

NOTE: An important way to protect your own personal data is to safeguard the passwords you use with Orvis and any other site – please do not share any such passwords with third parties.
