Data Collection Notice
This notice is the practical companion to our Privacy Policy. It sets out, field by field, what this site collects at each point, what it is used for, whether it is required, and how long we keep it. It is written so that you can see exactly what happens to something before you type it in.

What we do not collect
- Social Security numbers, dates of birth and driver's licence numbers, in any web form. There is no database field for them anywhere in this site.
- Full payment card numbers. Card data goes directly to our payment processor.
- Biometric data, precise geolocation, or information about your race, religion, health, politics or sexual orientation.
- Third-party advertising or cross-site tracking identifiers. We run no advertising trackers.
Automated decisions
We do not make decisions about your account by automated means alone. Applications are reviewed by a person, licences are verified by a person against ATF eZ Check, and pricing tiers and credit limits are set by a person. The software records those decisions; it does not make them.
