a. Shopping Site
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically collected information as “Device Information”.
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

We refer to this information as “Order Information”.
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Order Information.
b. Foam Editor
The GunFoam Foam Editor (referred to as the “Editor”) allows you to create custom foam inserts for your firearms by uploading photos of said firearms to the Editor. The images of your firearms are stored on an isolated secure server and are tied to a unique identifier that enables our system to map these items to you and allow you to purchase a custom foam insert on our shopping site. No personal information is stored in the database with the images. Only data necessary to calculate the contour, overall length, and depth of your firearms is stored with the images of your firearms.
When you save your custom foam insert, the Editor creates a “preview” image of the entire insert with your firearms in it for the purposes of previewing your order and to allowing you to place custom laser engraving text and graphics on the insert using our Laser Engraving Editor. This preview image is the only piece of information that is passed from the editor to the shopping site and is done so using encryption technology.
Our staff, who process your order, and our engineers, who take your order and engineer your foam insert for production, will see this image. Please do not upload images containing sensitive personal information or items that you do not want GunFoam staff to view.
c. Laser Engraving Editor
The GunFoam Laser Engraving editor (referred to as the “Laser Editor”) uses the preview image created by the Editor to allow you to add custom laser engraved text and/or graphics to your insert. The text and graphics that you choose are saved with your order information so that your order can be completed.
Our staff, who process your order, and our engineers, who take your order and engineer your foam insert for production, will see this image and your custom text and/or graphics. This text is stored with your order on a secure server and is considered private information; however, we encourage you to be exercise discretion regarding the information that you provide for laser engraving. Please do not submit sensitive personal information to be laser engraved on your insert.
d. Mobile App
The GunFoam mobile app (referred to as the the “App”), available to download in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, helps facilitate the taking and uploading of proper photos to the Editor. The App is free to download, does not contain advertisements, and does not collect or store personal data.
The app may read device information such as device type, operating system version, screen resolution, and other technical details to function properly and to deliver the best user experience for your device.
The App requests permission to use your camera while the App is open in order to take an image of your firearm and to scan a QR symbol in the Editor which enables the App to upload your image to the Editor.
Microphone permissions may be included in your camera’s permissions depending on your device and operating system version, however; the App does not use your device’s microphone for any reason.
