Privacy First: Why Your Location Data Shouldn’t Be the Price of Peace of Mind

Responsible carriers value freedom — and that includes digital freedom. This post explains how Pistol Boundaries puts your privacy first, from secure data storage to optional Stealth Mode. We don’t sell your data, we don’t track you unnecessarily, and we don’t store what we don’t need. Period.

Our Stance: Privacy Isn’t Just a Feature. It’s a Core Value.

At Pistol Boundaries, our mission is to support responsible firearm carriers — not just with legal awareness, but with tools that respect personal freedom. And in today’s world, that freedom has to include data privacy.Enhancing Productivity with AI

Our commitment is clear:

Your data is yours. We don’t track your identity or movements beyond what’s necessary to deliver real-time alerts. We believe in personal freedom — and that includes digital privacy.

That’s not just marketing language. It’s a guiding principle behind how we’ve built the platform from the ground up.

How We Protect Your Privacy

We take a multi-layered approach to privacy that goes far beyond what most mobile apps — and certainly most location-based services — offer.

✅ We don’t sell your personal data

No sharing. No reselling. No trading access behind the scenes. Ever.

✅ We only store what’s needed for real-time alerts

Your data exists to serve you. We don’t collect more than we need. Our system focuses on real-time location awareness, not behavioral profiling.

✅ We use a secure, third-party Customer Data Vault

All personally identifiable information (PII) is handled like credit card data — outside of the main Pistol Boundaries system. We store only a token that allows secure, time-limited access to your info when needed.

This means that even if someone compromised our system, they still wouldn’t have access to your identity or personal records.

Introducing Stealth Mode (Plus & Pro Members Only)

For users who want the most anonymous experience possible, we offer an optional feature: Stealth Mode.

When Stealth Mode is enabled:

GPS location data is anonymized and discarded after use
User activity is not tracked or retained beyond real-time delivery
No usage logs, historical breadcrumbs, or background profiling

And this isn’t just “incognito mode” — it’s true data minimization. You get the alerts you need, and nothing about where or when you received them is stored.

Minimal Data Required — You Stay in Control

To use the full app, all we require is your phone number — it’s the only way we can deliver real-time, location-based alerts.

Beyond that, you control what you share:

No profile creation required
No personal demographics collected
Optional preferences only affect how tailored your alerts are

If you don’t want to provide extra information, you don’t have to. The app still works — just maybe a little less personalized.

What We’re Not Claiming

We believe in full transparency, too. Here’s what you should know:

If Stealth Mode is not enabled, some basic activity data is tracked to support alert delivery and improve app performance.
If you are on the Free or Basic versions of the app, advertising is included — and those ad networks may collect data based on your usage.

That said, none of this compromises your core personal information — because we don’t store it inside our system to begin with.

Peace of Mind Shouldn’t Come at the Cost of Privacy

Whether you carry every day or only on occasion, your safety matters. So does your freedom — both physical and digital.

With Pistol Boundaries, you don’t have to choose between legal awareness and data protection. You can have both.
