What I do — and don't do — with your firearms data

The first objection most shooters have to any kind of digital firearms log isn’t about features or price. It’s about trust. It’s nobody’s business what I have. Agreed.

This is the straight answer on what happens to your data here, what doesn’t, and how to verify either.

What I don’t do

The list. Each one is a deliberate choice, not an oversight.

• No third-party analytics on your data. No Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Segment, or anything like them looking at what you log.
• No third-party error tracking with your data. Errors that involve session or firearm data don’t get shipped to a third party for diagnosis.
• No AI services. Your data does not get sent to OpenAI, Anthropic, or any other AI provider. Not for indexing, not for “smart” features, not for anything.
• No ad networks. No ad SDKs, no retargeting pixels, no audience-building.
• No data sales. Now or as part of any future deal. Written into the Continuity Commitment.
• No data warehouse mining patterns across users. Your sessions are yours. They are not aggregated into someone else’s reports.
• No soft-delete graveyard for your account. When you delete your account, the data is gone. Hard delete.

What I do

• US-based infrastructure. Hosted on DigitalOcean, in the US.
• Hard delete on account close. You ask, the data is gone — not soft-deleted into a 90-day “still keeping it” bucket.
• Full CSV export, anytime. Your sessions, your firearms, your barrels, your locations — pull it all out in CSV with a button. No support ticket, no waiting period.
• Continuity Commitment. If I ever shut down or am acquired, you get 60 days of notice, full export available the entire time, hard delete at shutdown if you don’t export, and your data is never sold as part of any deal. It’s written down on the privacy page.
• I run it. Indie. Bootstrapped. No VC. No exit plan. My name is Rob Bazinet and I’m on the about page with a photo and an email address.

How to verify

Don’t take any of this on faith. Three ways to check:

• Read the privacy policy. Linked in the footer of every page. It says what’s here, said the same way as this article.
• Open the network tab. Sign up for a free 14-day trial, log a session, watch what gets sent over the wire. You’ll see calls to shootinglogpro.com. You will not see calls to a list of third parties.
• Email me. rob@shootinglogpro.com. Ask anything. I read everything.

Why I run it this way

The audience that cares about firearms tracking and the audience that cares about data privacy aren’t separate audiences. They are mostly the same person, asking the same question two different ways: who else can see this?

Most apps treat that question as a marketing problem to manage. The answer is usually some version of “trust us.” That’s a hard sell to a population that has been burned by enough breaches, acquisitions, and quiet privacy-policy changes to know that “trust us” is a thing companies say while their incentives slowly drift away from yours.

So I don’t ask for blind trust. I tell you what I do, what I don’t do, and how to check, and I keep the architecture honest so the answers stay true even when nobody is watching.

If that’s the kind of thing you’d want to read before signing up for any tool that touches your firearms list, that’s the point of this page. If you’ve read this far and want to try it, the 14-day trial doesn’t ask for a credit card. Two minutes to log your first session.
