Privacy Policy Revised December 12, 2016
SHORT PRIVACY STATEMENT
Threat Scenarios greatly respects your privacy. We will not sell or distribute our client lists to anyone (aside from responding to a valid legal order). Any information provided to us by clients regarding firearm ownership will be immediately discarded after the class (or the purpose for which it was provided) is complete.
On the technical side, we only use user tracking tools like Google Analytics to determine how users are reacting to ads we’ve placed or are using our website. In this case, we use Google’s IP Anonymization for Analytics option in an effort to reduce the information collected. When you make a purchase, your personal information is processed by Authorize.net and is stored securely only for the purpose of recording that sale. We may keep our users/clients up to date on future classes/offerings via a newsletter, but users may opt-out at any time.

As you navigate through and interact with our Website, we may automatically collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns, including:
• Details of your visits to our Website, including traffic data, location data, logs and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on the Website.
