Effective Date: [May 11th, 2026]

The Gun Shop respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when visiting our website, contacting us, or doing business with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

By using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, email address, phone number, billing or shipping address, and any other information you submit through contact forms, order inquiries, account registration, or other website features.

If you make a purchase, request a transfer, inquire about a firearm, or contact us about gunsmithing or related services, we may collect information necessary to respond to your request, complete the transaction, comply with applicable laws, and provide customer service.

Our website may also collect basic technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and website usage data. This information may be collected through cookies, analytics tools, or similar technologies.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate our website, respond to customer inquiries, process orders or service requests, coordinate firearm transfers where applicable, provide customer support, improve our website, and communicate with you about products, services, or updates.

We may also use your information to comply with federal, state, and local laws, including laws and regulations related to firearms sales, transfers, recordkeeping, and age or eligibility requirements.

Firearms-Related Compliance

The Gun Shop complies with all applicable firearms laws and regulations. Certain transactions, including firearm sales and transfers, may require identity verification, background checks, completion of required forms, and processing through a Federal Firearms License holder where required.

Information collected for firearms-related transactions may be retained as required by law. We do not use firearms transaction information for unrelated marketing purposes unless you have separately provided consent to receive communications from us.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website, process payments, manage communications, provide shipping services, or perform other business functions. These providers are only permitted to use your information as necessary to provide services to us.

We may also disclose information when required by law, regulation, court order, legal process, or when necessary to protect our rights, comply with firearms laws, prevent fraud, or ensure the safety and security of our business, customers, and website.

Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, understand how visitors use the site, and enhance the customer experience. Cookies may help remember preferences, analyze website traffic, or support security features.

You may be able to disable cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Email Communications

If you provide your email address, we may use it to respond to your inquiries, provide order or service updates, and communicate with you about our business. If we offer marketing emails, you may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions included in those emails or by contacting us directly.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure. However, no website, online system, or electronic transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted through our website.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for business, legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or compliance purposes. Firearms-related records may be retained for the period required by applicable law.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Firearms-related purchases and services are subject to applicable age restrictions and eligibility requirements.

Your Choices

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, subject to legal, regulatory, and firearms compliance requirements. Some records may not be deleted if we are required to retain them by law.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of those third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
