Privacy policy
Last updated: July 29, 2026
FirearmLog is built to keep your information private. The short version: your log — everything you enter — stays on your device, and we can't read it. It is never sold or shared. Today the app collects nothing at all; a future update adds two bounded things — benchmarks you switch on, and anonymous usage and crash reports you can switch off — both described below so you hear it here first. The only information we receive today is what you send us from a form on this website — your email address if you ask to hear about the apps, or your note, and the title of the page it came from, if you tell us a page is wrong.
What the app collects today
Nothing. FirearmLog has no user accounts, no login, and no servers that store your information. Today it does not collect personal information, usage analytics, advertising identifiers, or location data. It does not use third-party trackers or advertising networks. Two bounded changes are planned — the next section describes them before they exist.
What's coming: two bounded changes, and the switch for each
We're building a “how do I compare?” feature: see how your draw times, splits, reloads, and classifier progress stack up against other shooters in your division and class. That feature, and the usage and crash reports described alongside it, will make a future update the first version of FirearmLog to send anything at all. Here is exactly what that will and won't mean:
- Your log never leaves your device. What's sent are anonymous, aggregate numbers computed on your own device — never your entries, notes, photos, gear list, or anything that identifies you.
- Nothing links contributions to you. No account, no device ID, no hidden identifier that could stitch submissions back together into a profile of one shooter.
- Small groups stay hidden. A benchmark only appears once enough shooters are in it — dozens, not a handful — so nobody can be picked out of a thin slice, and until then the app says “not enough data yet” rather than guessing.
- Benchmarks stay off unless you switch them on, feature by feature — you see the community's numbers when you contribute your own. The switch sits right where the app explains what it sends.
- Usage and crash reports work the other way round. Which screens get used and what breaks arrive switched on, with one clear switch to turn them off — and in the EU and EEA the app asks at first run, before anything is sent. They carry no log entries and nothing that identifies you.
When that update ships, this policy will be rewritten in the present tense the same day, and the “collects nothing” statement above will change to this new, precise one at the same moment. Everything else stays as it is: no accounts, no ads, nothing sold, your log on your device.
What this website receives
Nothing on this website is collected in the background. It receives only what you choose to send it: what you type into one of its two forms, and a note of which page you sent it from.
The launch list. Give us your email address if you'd like us to let you know when the iPhone and Android apps are released. It's entirely optional — if you never enter your address, we never have it. When you do enter it, we store that address with a trusted email provider (MailerLite) to send you the launch notification and, occasionally, a FirearmLog update we think is worth your time. We don't sell it or share it, and every email we send includes a one-tap way to unsubscribe.
The message box. On the guide and calculator pages that carry one it is headed “Spot a mistake?”; on the support page it sits under “Contact us”. It is the same form either way. Sending it gives us the message you wrote, the title of the page you sent it from, and your email address if you chose to add one — that part is optional, and without it we have no way to reply. The support page’s copy also carries a tag saying it came from support, so questions and page corrections do not blur together in one inbox. We use it to correct the page or answer your question, and for nothing else.
Both are separate from the app, which still collects nothing.
Where your data lives
The records you create — sessions, guns, drills, matches, maintenance, photos, videos, costs, notes, and everything else you log — are stored locally on your own device using your browser's or your phone's built-in storage. This data is not sent to us or to anyone else.
Moving your data between your devices
If you choose to sync FirearmLog between your phone and your desktop, the app saves a single data file that you move yourself through your own iCloud Drive or Files storage. That transfer happens entirely within your own accounts and devices. FirearmLog has no access to it, and the file is never sent to us.
Photos and media
Photos and videos you add stay on your device alongside your other records. They are used only to display in the app and in reports you generate. They are not uploaded anywhere.
Deleting your data
Because your data lives only on your device, you are always in control of it. You can delete individual records inside the app, or remove all of your data at once from the app's settings. Removing the app from your device also removes its locally stored data.
Children's privacy
FirearmLog is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the "last updated" date above.
