Black Site Forge, LLC (“Black Site Forge,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting information you provide when using blacksiteforge.com (the “Website”) or purchasing our products and services.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, when we may disclose it, and the choices available to you.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Depending on how you interact with Black Site Forge, we may collect information including:

Transaction and Firearm Information

Because Black Site Forge is a Federal Firearms Licensee, certain firearm transactions require records to be created and maintained as required by federal law.

Depending on the transaction, information may include firearm manufacturer, model, caliber or gauge, serial number, transaction information, purchaser information, and other information required by applicable law.

Black Site Forge does not collect or maintain more personal information than is reasonably necessary to conduct the transaction, comply with applicable law, maintain required FFL records, and operate the business.

Certain firearm transaction records are required by federal law to be maintained for specified periods and may be subject to ATF inspection or other lawful government access.

2. ATF AND LEGALLY REQUIRED RECORDS

Firearm transactions are subject to federal recordkeeping requirements.

Information contained in required firearm transaction records, including ATF Form 4473 and required acquisition and disposition records, is maintained and handled in accordance with applicable federal law and ATF requirements.

Black Site Forge does not sell or voluntarily provide legally required firearm transaction records to marketers or unrelated third parties.

Information may be disclosed when disclosure is required or authorized by law, including to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”), law enforcement agencies, courts, or other governmental authorities pursuant to applicable legal requirements.

We will take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect customer information.

However, customers acknowledge that certain firearm transaction information must be collected and retained because of federal law and FFL recordkeeping requirements.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy prevents Black Site Forge from complying with legally binding government requirements.

12. DATA SECURITY

Black Site Forge uses reasonable safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no electronic storage system, Website, database, or transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Customers should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary email or Website contact forms.

13. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The Website is not intended for children under 13 years of age.

Black Site Forge does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Website.

If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

14. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES
