Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 7, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how East Valley Tactical ("East Valley Tactical", "we", "us") handles information in connection with the EVT App ("EVT App", "the app"), a native application for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Android, used for tracking firearm collections.

The short version

EVT App does not collect, transmit, or store any information about your firearm collection on East Valley Tactical's servers or anywhere else under our control. Your data lives only on your devices and, optionally, in your personal iCloud or Google Drive account for syncing between them.

EVT App contains no third-party analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers, no tracking pixels, and no commercial telemetry services.

What data we store on your device

Every item you add to the app — firearm, silencer, or other — including manufacturer, model, serial number, caliber, photos, NFA tax stamps, receipts, range and maintenance log, ammunition records, and purchase records — is stored locally on your device:

• On iOS, iPadOS, and macOS: in an encrypted database that is part of the app sandbox. If you have iCloud Drive enabled on your Apple ID, the operating system may sync this data to Apple's iCloud servers so it appears on your other Apple devices. That sync is between your devices through Apple's infrastructure; East Valley Tactical has no access to it. iCloud's handling of your data is governed by Apple's privacy policy, not by this document.
• On Android: in a local SQLite database in app-private storage. Photos, NFA stamp PDFs, and receipts are stored as app-private files on your device. Any sensitive credentials you choose to save (for example, ATF eForms username, password, and PIN, if you use that feature) are encrypted using the Android Keystore so that the encryption key never leaves hardware-backed storage on devices that support it.

Android does not perform automatic cross-device sync of EVT App data. To move your collection between Android devices, or between Android and Apple devices, use the optional Google Drive backup feature described below.

What we never see

• Your firearm inventory or any data about specific firearms.
• Serial numbers.
• Photos, NFA tax stamp PDFs, receipts, or DOPE cards you attach.
• Your purchase dates, costs, or where items were acquired.
• Your range activity log, round counts, malfunction history, or ammunition records.
• Your storage locations, ownership names, or trust documentation.
• Your ATF eForms credentials (if you choose to save them on Android).
• Your Google account email address (the app requests it only to display which account is connected for Drive backup).
• Anything else you enter into the app.

Android permissions

On Android, EVT App requests only the permissions needed to deliver the features you choose to use. We do not request location, contacts, microphone, calendar, SMS, call logs, body sensors, advertising ID, or any other permission unrelated to those features.

• Camera — requested only when you tap "Take photo" to add a photo to a firearm. The captured image is saved to the app's private storage on your device; we never see it.
• Photos & media (Android Photo Picker) — requested only when you choose to attach a photo or PDF from your device. The app sees only the file you explicitly pick, not your wider photo or document library.
• Internet — required for the in-app Shop tab (which loads eastvalleytactical.com) and for the optional Google Drive backup feature. There is no other network activity.

Optional Google Drive backup — Google user data disclosure

EVT App provides an optional feature where you can back up your collection to a folder in your own Google Drive account. This is the only feature in the app that interacts with Google services, and it is entirely opt-in — you must explicitly enable it in the app's Settings and sign in with your Google account before any data is sent.

What we request from Google

When you choose to enable the backup feature, EVT App requests the following Google OAuth scope:

• drive.file — access only to the files EVT App creates or opens in your Drive. We do not request, and cannot read, files that EVT App did not create.

What we do with it

When the backup feature is enabled and you tap "Back Up Now" in Settings, the app:

• Creates (or replaces) a single JSON file named evt-backup.json inside a dedicated EVT folder in your Google Drive.
• Uploads the JSON content directly from your device to Google's servers using your own credentials.
• On a future Restore action, downloads that same file from your Drive and reconstructs your collection on the device.

What we do NOT do with it

EVT App's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

• EVT App does not transmit, retain, share, or use Google user data for any purpose other than the backup and restore feature you explicitly invoked.
• EVT App does not transfer Google user data to third parties.
• EVT App does not use Google user data for advertising, credit-worthiness assessment, or any model training.
• EVT App does not allow humans at East Valley Tactical to read Google user data, except as required for security purposes, to comply with applicable law, or where you have given your explicit affirmative consent.

Where Google user data is stored

Google user data is stored in your own Google Drive account. EVT App's backup file is created in your Drive, not on any server controlled by East Valley Tactical. EVT App keeps a temporary in-memory copy of the OAuth access token only as long as a backup or restore operation is in progress; the token is not persisted outside the system keychain that Google's SDK manages.

How to revoke access

You can disable the Google Drive backup feature at any time in EVT App's Settings, which signs the app out of your Google account and discards the cached token. You can also revoke EVT App's access from Google's side by visiting https://myaccount.google.com/permissions and removing "EVT App" from the list of apps with access.

How to delete the backup data

The backup file is stored in your own Google Drive, so you can delete it at any time directly from the Drive web interface or app — open Drive, find the EVT folder, and delete it. EVT App provides no separate deletion endpoint because no separate copy exists.

App store analytics and crash reports

EVT App does not include Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Sentry, the Facebook SDK, Adjust, AppsFlyer, or any other third-party analytics, attribution, or telemetry service. Nothing about your collection — items, serial numbers, photos, locations, values, or anything else you enter — is collected or transmitted to East Valley Tactical or anyone else.

For basic app-stability and performance diagnostics we rely on the operating-system frameworks already on your device:

• On Apple platforms: Apple's built-in MetricKit framework. When you have "Share With App Developers" enabled in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements (an Apple-controlled setting), Apple gathers aggregated, anonymous performance metrics — launch time, scroll smoothness, hang reports, crash signatures — and makes them available to the developer through Apple's standard tools.
• On Android: Google Play's built-in anonymous crash and ANR (Application Not Responding) reporting, which is governed by your Google Play Store settings. When this is enabled (a Google- controlled, opt-in setting), the Play Store may share anonymous crash stack traces with the developer through Google Play Console.

These diagnostic streams contain no information about your collection or any item you've entered, and you can disable each one at any time from your device's system settings.

Embedded shop

EVT App's Shop tab loads eastvalleytactical.com inside an in-app web view. Browsing the shop is subject to East Valley Tactical's website privacy practices, which are independent of this document. The app itself does not report which products you view back to us.

How to wipe your data

Delete the EVT app from your device. The local database is removed with it.

• iOS / iPadOS: long-press the EVT app icon → Remove App → Delete App. If you have iCloud sync enabled, you can additionally remove the EVT data from your other Apple devices by signing out of iCloud or by deleting the app from each device.
• macOS: drag the EVT app from Applications to the Trash, then empty the Trash. Same iCloud note as above.
• Android: long-press the EVT app icon → App info → Uninstall (or App info → Storage & cache → Clear storage if you want to wipe the data without removing the app). The app's private database and all attached files are removed.
• Google Drive backups: sign in to Google Drive (drive.google.com), find the EVT folder in "My Drive," and delete it. This permanently removes the evt-backup.json file from your Drive.

Children's privacy

EVT App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, but the app is not designed for use by children, and we recommend it be used only by adults legally permitted to own the firearms being tracked.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be reflected in a new version of the app and announced through the app's release notes.
