Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 9, 2026
First Gun Firearms Training respects your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how it may be used, and the choices available to you.
This policy applies to information collected through the First Gun website, Meta or Facebook Instant Forms, online advertisements, email, text messages, telephone communications, course inquiries, registrations, and other interactions with First Gun Firearms Training.

• Your name
• Email address
• Telephone number
• Preferred method of contact
• Course interests
• General experience level
• Equipment or training needs
• Preferred class dates or timeframes
• Information contained in messages or communications you send to us
• Registration and transaction information when you purchase a course
When you interact with our website or advertisements, we may also receive limited technical information, including your browser type, device type, referring page, advertisement source, approximate geographic area, and interactions with our website or advertisements.
We do not ask you to provide Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, medical information, or other unnecessary sensitive personal information through our advertising lead forms.
2. How We Collect Information

• Submit a Facebook or Instagram Instant Form
• Complete a form on our website
• Request information about a course
• Register for a course
• Contact us by email, telephone, text message, or social media
• Subscribe to course announcements or other communications
• Interact with our website or online advertisements
Information submitted through a Meta Instant Form is initially collected through Meta’s platform and then made available to First Gun Firearms Training.
3. How We Use Your Information
We may use your information to:
• Respond to your questions or requests
• Provide course dates, pricing, equipment information, and registration details
• Determine which course or equipment option may best fit your stated needs
• Contact you using your selected contact method
• Process course registrations and payments
• Send confirmations, reminders, schedule changes, or other course-related information
• Provide customer support
• Send promotional information when you have requested or consented to receive it
• Improve our courses, website, advertising, and customer service
• Maintain business and transaction records
• Protect the safety, security, and legal rights of First Gun, our students, and others
• Comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests
4. Telephone, Email, and Text Communications
When you submit an inquiry, First Gun Firearms Training may contact you to respond to that inquiry and provide the course information you requested.
When you separately consent to receive promotional communications, we may occasionally send information about upcoming classes, registration openings, discounts, and other training opportunities.
Consent to receive promotional telephone calls or text messages is not a condition of purchasing a course.
Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary. You may opt out of promotional text messages by replying STOP. You may request assistance by replying HELP or contacting us directly.
Promotional emails will include an unsubscribe method when required. You may also request removal from promotional email communications by contacting us at info@firstgun.org.
Opting out of promotional communications will not prevent us from sending necessary transactional communications relating to a course for which you have registered.
5. How We Share Information
First Gun Firearms Training does not sell or rent your personal information.
We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate our business, including providers of:
• Website hosting
• Email and text-message delivery
• Customer-relationship management
• Online advertising
• Course registration
• Payment processing
• Business analytics
• Data storage and security
These providers may receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful legal process, prevent fraud, protect safety, enforce our agreements, or protect the rights and property of First Gun Firearms Training or others.
6. Meta, Facebook, and Instagram
When you submit information through a Facebook or Instagram advertisement or Instant Form, your interaction is also governed by Meta’s own terms and privacy practices.
First Gun Firearms Training does not control how Meta independently collects, uses, stores, or processes information through its platforms.
7. Data Retention
We retain inquiry information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry, provide requested services, maintain appropriate business records, and fulfill the purposes described in this policy.
Ordinary lead and inquiry information may generally be retained for up to 24 months following the last meaningful interaction, unless a longer period is reasonably necessary for legal, accounting, transaction, safety, dispute-resolution, or recordkeeping purposes.
We may retain a minimal record of an opt-out request for as long as necessary to ensure that the request continues to be honored.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
No website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should not submit sensitive information through an unsecured email, text message, or advertising lead form.
9. Your Choices
You may contact us to:
• Ask what personal information we maintain about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of information that is no longer reasonably necessary
• Change your preferred method of contact
• Withdraw consent for promotional communications
• Ask questions about our privacy practices
Certain information may need to be retained when required for legal, accounting, safety, transaction, or legitimate business purposes.
10. Children’s Privacy
Our advertising lead forms and course-information services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information through these forms from children under 18.
If we learn that information was submitted by a child without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
11. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website and communications may contain links to third-party websites or services. First Gun Firearms Training is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third parties.
You should review the privacy policies of any third-party service before providing it with personal information.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal obligations.
When the policy is updated, the revised effective date will be displayed at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated through the website or another reasonable method.
