PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy explains how Salty Dog Gunsmithing collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website or submit a service inquiry.
Effective date: July 31, 2026
Your Privacy Matters
Salty Dog Gunsmithing respects your privacy. This policy applies to information collected through this website. It does not replace any separate paperwork, identification, records, or disclosures that may be required for an in-person gunsmithing transaction or by applicable law.
Information We Collect
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, phone number, email address, preferred contact method, firearm make and model, requested service, project description, and any reference photographs you upload.
The website and its service providers may also collect limited technical information automatically, such as IP address, browser and device type, referring pages, pages visited, approximate location, and cookie or analytics data.
How We Use Information
We may use information to:
- Respond to questions and service inquiries.
- Evaluate a requested repair, restoration, refinishing, bedding, stock, checkering, or machining project.
- Schedule appointments and communicate about next steps.
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
- Prevent misuse, fraud, or security incidents.
- Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
Photographs and Firearm Information
Reference photographs and firearm details submitted through the contact form are used to understand your request and communicate with you. Please do not upload identification documents, payment-card information, medical information, passwords, or other highly sensitive personal information through the website form. Submitting a form or photograph does not authorize work, establish a customer relationship, or provide a binding estimate.
Cookies, Analytics, and Embedded Services
The website may use cookies and similar technologies needed for site functionality, security, preferences, traffic measurement, and performance. Embedded services, such as an online map, may receive technical information when you interact with them and may set their own cookies. Please review the Cookie Policy for more information.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share information with hosting, email, form-processing, security, analytics, mapping, or other service providers that help operate the website; when required by law, subpoena, court order, or valid government request; to protect safety, property, or legal rights; or in connection with a business transfer. Providers receive only the information reasonably needed for their function and handle it under their own terms and privacy practices.
Retention and Security
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, to maintain business records, resolve disputes, or comply with law. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no website, email, upload, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Do not use the website form for urgent matters or confidential information that is not needed to evaluate your request.
Your Choices and Rights
You may decline optional fields, disable nonessential cookies through your browser or available consent controls, and contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you submitted. Requests may be limited where retention is required by law, needed for security, necessary to complete a transaction, or otherwise permitted. Privacy rights may vary by state.
Children, External Links, and Policy Changes
This website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the website. Links and embedded services operated by third parties are governed by their own policies. We may update this Privacy Policy as the website, business practices, or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
