GoBallistic

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 27, 2026

GoBallistic ("we," "our," or "the App") is a product of StrataLogic, and is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

a. Images You Provide

When you use the camera or gallery picker to identify a firearm, the image is sent to our secure backend server for processing via a third-party AI service (Anthropic Claude Vision API). We do not permanently store the images you submit on our servers. Images are processed in real-time and discarded after the identification result is returned.

b. Location Data

If you use the "Where to Buy" feature to find nearby firearm dealers, we request access to your device's location. Your location is sent to our server to query the Google Places API for nearby results. We do not store or track your location over time.

c. Local Device Data

The App stores the following data locally on your device using SQLite and AsyncStorage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly use a feature that requires server communication:

d. Purchase Information

In-app purchases are processed entirely through the Google Play Store. We do not collect or store your payment information, credit card numbers, or billing details. We only receive a purchase confirmation token to activate your Pro subscription.

e. Advertising Data

For free-tier users, we display advertisements through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device identifiers, IP addresses, and usage data to serve relevant ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising through your device's privacy settings. Pro subscribers do not see any advertisements.

f. Subscription and Restore Data (Web Pro Purchases)

If you purchase a Pro subscription via our website at goballistic.app/pro, Stripe collects your email address, payment method, and billing information for transaction processing. We receive your email address and a Stripe customer reference, which we store in our Cloudflare Workers KV namespace to associate your subscription with your account. To restore Pro on a new device, we send a 6-digit verification code to your email via Resend; codes expire after 10 minutes. After successful verification, a long-lived authentication token bound to your verified email and device is stored in your device's secure storage.

g. Anonymous Device Identifier

To enforce free-tier daily identification limits without requiring an account, we generate a random UUID on first app launch and store it in your device's secure storage. This identifier is sent with each identification request so our server can enforce per-device rate limits. The identifier is anonymous — not linked to your name, email, or any personally identifying information — and resets if you clear the app's data.

2. How We Use Your Information

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to power the App. Each has its own privacy policy governing data handling:

4. Affiliate Links

The App may contain affiliate links to online firearm retailers and streaming services (such as Amazon). When you tap these links, the retailer or service may track your visit and any purchases. We earn a small commission on qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. These links include tracking parameters (e.g., UTM tags, affiliate IDs) that identify the App as the referral source.

5. Data Security

All communication between the App and our backend server uses HTTPS encryption. API keys and sensitive credentials are stored server-side only and are never embedded in the mobile application. Your local data is stored in your device's private application sandbox, accessible only to GoBallistic.

6. Data Retention

7. Children's Privacy

GoBallistic is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

8. Your Rights

a. Local Data

Since the vast majority of your data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it:

b. Server-Side Data Deletion Requests

If you have purchased Pro on the web at goballistic.app/pro and would like your server-side records deleted (your email address, entitlement record in our Cloudflare KV namespace, and your Stripe customer record), email us at support@stratalogic.io from the email address you used at checkout. We will process your deletion request within 30 days and confirm by reply. Note: deletion of an active subscription record will end your Pro access on all devices.

c. Account Access

GoBallistic does not maintain user accounts in the traditional sense — there is no login, profile, or dashboard. Your email is used solely for billing receipts and Pro entitlement restoration. We do not collect names, addresses, phone numbers, or any other personal information beyond what is described in Section 1.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by an updated "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
