The American Firearms Network (“AFN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users. This Privacy Policy outlines our rigorous standards for collecting, using, and safeguarding the personal information of our users in Homestead, Florida, and across the United States.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect several categories of information to provide professional firearms training, competitive events, and educational resources:

Personal Identifiable Information (PII):

• User-Provided Contact Details: We collect information you voluntarily provide when submitting inquiries via our contact forms, including your Full Name, Personal Email Address, and Telephone Number.

   

• Training & Eligibility Data: Information regarding your interest in specific courses, current firearm experience level, and age-verification data required for “Age-Gate” restricted events

   

• Automatically Collected Technical Data:

   

  • Usage and Device Information: We automatically collect data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, and referring website addresses to maintain the quality and security of our platform.

     

  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We utilize cookies and third-party analytics (such as Google and Facebook) to monitor site performance, manage marketing campaigns, and deliver customized content.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We process your data for specific, disclosed purposes based on legitimate business interests and legal obligations:

• Service Fulfillment: To respond to inquiries, schedule training sessions, and manage competition entries.

   

• Direct Marketing: To inform you of new training programs, special offers, and latest content from our YouTube channel. You may opt out of these communications at any time.

   

• Compliance and Safety: To verify student eligibility for firearms handling under Florida and Federal laws, ensuring we do not provide training to “prohibited persons”.

3. FLORIDA FIREARM OWNER PRIVACY PROTECTION (FS 790.335)

In accordance with Florida Statute 790.335, AFN does not knowingly or willfully maintain any list, record, or registry of privately owned firearms or their owners that is not expressly required by federal or state law for specific legal purposes. We respect and protect the privacy of law-abiding firearm owners as mandated by Florida’s strict privacy protections.

4. DATA SHARING, DISCLOSURE, AND SALES

• No Sale of Personal Data: AFN does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties.

   

• Third-Party Service Providers: We may share data with trusted partners to perform statistical analysis, provide customer support, or manage communications. All such parties are contractually prohibited from using your personal information for any other purpose and are required to maintain strict confidentiality.

   

• Legal Disclosure: We will disclose personal information, without notice, only if required by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal process or protect the safety of the public.

5. YOUR RIGHTS AND OPT-OUT CHOICES

Regardless of your location in the U.S., AFN provides you with comprehensive rights over your data:

• Right to Know/Access: You may request a report on the categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you.
• Right to Correct/Delete: You may request that we update inaccurate information or delete your personal data, subject to legal record-retention requirements for firearms training.
• Right to Opt-Out: You may opt out of targeted advertising and marketing communications at any time.
• Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.

6. DATA SECURITY AND PROTECTION (FIPA COMPLIANCE)

Pursuant to the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA), we implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures—including SSL encryption and firewalls—to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Only authorized employees or agents with a legitimate business purpose are granted access to your PII.

7. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY (COPPA)

Our website and services are intended for a general audience and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18 (or 13 for COPPA compliance) without explicit parental consent. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will take immediate steps to delete it.
