Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information GunMapUSA ("we", "us") collects when you visit gunmapusa.com, and how it's used. We do not require an account, and we do not knowingly collect information that directly identifies you by name.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our server and third-party tools automatically log technical information when you visit: your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring page, and timestamps. This is standard web traffic data used for security, performance, and understanding how the site is used.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4, property ID G-6MKWT2Z6KT) to understand aggregate traffic patterns — which pages are popular, how visitors found the site, and general usage trends. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish visitors and sessions. The data it collects is processed by Google according to its own privacy practices. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on .

Google AdSense & advertising cookies

GunMapUSA displays ads served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. For a broader overview of how Google uses data and cookies across advertising products, see policies.google.com/technologies/ads . Third-party vendors, including Google, may also use cookies to serve ads based on someone's past visits to this website.

Cookies in general

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. GunMapUSA itself does not use cookies to build user profiles; the cookies described above are set by Google Analytics and Google AdSense. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings — doing so may affect ad personalization and analytics accuracy but will not prevent you from browsing the directory.

Data we do not collect

We do not ask for or store your name, mailing address, date of birth, firearm ownership information, or any purchase/transaction data — GunMapUSA is a directory of businesses, not a marketplace, and no transactions happen on this site.
