Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Date]

Welcome to Metal Madness Shooting Sports Association (“MMSSA,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). We value your privacy and want you to understand how we collect, use, and share your personal information. This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected through our website (https://mmssa.net) (the “Website”) and any related services.

By using or accessing the Website, you agree to the collection and use of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use the Website.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Personal Information You Provide to Us

We may collect the following types of personal information when you register an account, make a purchase, or otherwise interact with our Website:

  • Name
  • Email Address
  • Password (stored in hashed form, not in plain text)
  • Physical Address
  • Phone Number (if provided)
  • Zip Code
  • Payment Information: We use a third-party payment processor (Stripe) to handle payments and do not store any credit card or financial information on our servers.

1.2 Location Information

When you use our “Find a Range” feature, we collect GPS location through your browser if you grant permission. This data is used one time to identify nearby ranges and is not stored.

1.3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain login sessions, remember your preferences, and improve the user experience. You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features of the Website may not function properly if you do so.

1.4 Analytics Information

We use Google Analytics and Amplitude to understand how visitors interact with the Website (e.g., pages viewed, time spent on pages). These third-party services use their own cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Website.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected personal information for the following purposes:

  • Account Creation and Management: To register you as a user, enable login, and maintain your user account.
  • Order Processing: To process payments (via Stripe) and fulfill store purchases.
  • Customer Support: To communicate with you, respond to inquiries, and provide technical assistance.
  • Newsletters and Marketing: To send you newsletters or promotional materials if you opt in. You may unsubscribe or opt out at any time by following the instructions included in these communications.
  • Website Improvements: To monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities to improve the Website and services.
  • Security: To protect our Website and users from security threats or fraud.

3. How We Share Your Information

3.1 Service Providers

We do not share your personal information with third-party service providers or business partners beyond those necessary for analytics, hosting, and payment processing (e.g., Google Analytics, Amplitude, Stripe). Stripe processes your payment information under its own privacy policy and is responsible for handling all financial data.

3.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by government authorities (e.g., a court or regulatory agency).

3.3 Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

3.4 No Sale of Personal Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third parties for marketing or other purposes.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as you maintain an account with us or as needed to provide our services, and thereafter for up to ten (10) years to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. We may delete data earlier at our discretion when it is no longer necessary.

5. Children’s Privacy

We recognize the importance of protecting children’s privacy. Our services may be used by minors under 16 years of age.

  • Parental Consent: If you are under 16, you must obtain your parent or guardian’s permission to use the Website.
  • We encourage parents or guardians to monitor their children’s online activities and help enforce this Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide personal information without permission.

If you believe we have collected personal information of a minor under 16 in a way that is inconsistent with applicable laws, please contact us immediately using the contact details provided below.

6. Security of Your Information

We take the security of your personal information seriously and employ reasonable measures, including encryption, limited access, and secure hosting, to help protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Your Choices and Rights

  • Account Information: Currently, we do not offer an automated mechanism for users to request access or deletion of their data. If you have concerns about your data, you may contact us using the information in the Contact Us section.
  • Cookies: You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings.
  • Marketing Communications: You can opt out of marketing or newsletter communications at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in our emails or by contacting us.

8. “Do Not Track” Signals

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals. Because there is not an industry-standard protocol for handling DNT signals, we currently do not change our data collection or usage practices upon receipt of such signals.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Website may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of those third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

10. International Visitors

Our Website primarily serves users within the United States. While we may have international visitors, we do not currently offer memberships or process purchases from individuals residing outside the United States. If you use our Website from outside the United States, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, and you consent to that transfer.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or other circumstances. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Website after we post any modifications indicates your acceptance of these changes.
