| Data Type | Storage | Shared? |
|---|

| Training session metrics | Device (opt-in cloud sync) | No |
| Email address | Our servers | No (except email provider) |

Information We Collect
Information You Provide
- Email Address: If you sign up for our mailing list or create an account, we collect your email address.
- Account Information: If you create an account, we collect your name, email, and preferences you choose to provide.
- Support Requests: If you contact us for support, we collect the information you provide in your message.
Sensor Data (Mobile App)
The SniperPulse app uses your device's motion sensors to measure rifle stability:
- Accelerometer: Measures linear movement and tilt of the device
- Gyroscope: Measures rotational movement and orientation changes
This sensor data is processed entirely on your device. Raw sensor readings are never transmitted to our servers. We only receive aggregated session metrics (like average stability score) if you explicitly enable cloud sync.
Training Session Data
If you enable cloud sync, we collect:
- Session duration and timestamps
- Aggregated stability metrics (MOA averages, time in threshold)
- Device identifier (anonymized)
We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, or any data unrelated to training.
Website Data
- Analytics: We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This data is anonymized and aggregated.
- Cookies: We use only essential cookies for website functionality. No tracking cookies are used without your consent.
How We Use Your Information

- To detect and prevent fraud or abuse
Data Storage and Security
Local Data: Training data stored on your device is protected by your device's native security features (encryption, passcode/biometric protection).
Cloud Data: If you enable sync, data is stored securely with encryption at rest and in transit. We use industry-standard security practices.
Data Retention
