Information We May Collect
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide through our website, including your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, class or service interests, registration details, and the contents of messages you send to us. If you register for a class or purchase a service, the information necessary to process the registration or transaction may also be collected by us or by the service providers that support the transaction.
When you use the website, our website-hosting, security, and analytics tools may automatically receive limited technical information, such as your Internet Protocol address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring page, and the date and time of your visit. We may use cookies or similar technologies to operate, secure, and improve the website. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although some website features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.
How We Use Information
We use information we collect to respond to inquiries, administer class registration and attendance, send confirmations and reminders, provide firearms-safety education and related customer service, improve the website and our services, protect against misuse or fraud, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
With your consent where required, we may also send safety-training updates and occasional promotional messages about our classes or services. Marketing text-message consent is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services.
Text Messaging and Mobile Information
If you opt in to our text-messaging program, we may use your mobile number to send class-registration messages, course reminders, safety-training updates, and occasional promotional offers. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to a message. For help, reply HELP or contact us at [email protected]. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except for aggregators and providers of the Text Message services.
How We May Disclose Information
We do not sell your personal information. We do not disclose mobile information to third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.
We may disclose limited personal information to trusted service providers when reasonably necessary to operate our business and provide requested services, such as website hosting, class-registration systems, payment processors, customer-support providers, professional advisers, and text-message aggregators or providers. These providers may use information only to perform services for us or as otherwise required by law. We may also disclose information when required or permitted by law, to protect the rights, safety, or property of Veterans First or others, or in connection with a business transfer permitted by law.
All categories of disclosure described above exclude text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties, except for aggregators and providers of the Text Message services.
Payment Information
If you make a payment through a third-party payment provider, that provider processes payment information under its own privacy practices and security controls. Do not send full payment-card information to us by email or text message.
Data Retention and Security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices and Privacy Requests
You may ask us to update or correct contact information, request information about personal information we maintain about you, request deletion where appropriate, or withdraw text-message consent. To make a request, email [email protected] with the subject line Privacy Request. We may need to verify your identity before responding and may retain certain information when required or permitted by law.
Maryland residents and others may have additional privacy rights under applicable law. We will consider and respond to verified requests consistent with applicable legal requirements and our business obligations.

Our website is not directed to children under 13. Please do not submit personal information about a child under 13 through the website without parent or legal guardian authorization.
