# ScopeDOPE™ Privacy Policy

**Cold Bore Ballistics LLC**
Village of Mukwonago, Waukesha County, Wisconsin

**Effective Date:** [INSERT DATE PRIOR TO LAUNCH]
**Version:** 1.0

---

## 1. Introduction

Cold Bore Ballistics LLC ("Cold Bore Ballistics," "we," "us," or "our") operates the ScopeDOPE mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information.

**ScopeDOPE never requires an internet connection. Every feature works fully offline, every time.** Your ammunition profiles, ballistic settings, DOPE sessions, and scope corrections are yours — stored on your device, never transmitted, never accessible to us.

We are committed to transparency: the App's core features collect no personal information and require no data transfer. The App does offer optional features that, by their nature, involve sending data — such as crash reporting, submitting `.dope` files, and in-app feedback. Every one of these features is **opt-in, clearly disclosed before activation, and never required to use any core functionality of the App.** This policy describes each of them fully.

Please read this policy. If you have questions, contact us at: **privacy@coldboreballisticsllc.com**

---

## 2. Information We Collect

**The core App collects no personal information.**

The App does not collect:

- Your name, email address, or any other contact information
- Location data or GPS coordinates
- Device identifiers, advertising identifiers, or IP addresses
- Usage analytics
- Any financial or payment information
- Any information about your firearm, ammunition, or shooting activity

**There are no user accounts in ScopeDOPE.** You are not required to register, sign in, or provide any information to Cold Bore Ballistics LLC to use the App.

The App offers optional features that involve transmitting data — each is opt-in, never required, and described fully in Section 6. These optional features are:

- **Crash reporting** — anonymous technical diagnostics to help us fix bugs (off by default)
- **`.dope` file submission** — voluntary sharing of your `.dope` files with Cold Bore Ballistics for validation or support purposes (never automatic)
- **In-app feedback** — voluntary submission of feedback or bug reports directly from the App

None of these features collect personal information, and none are required to use the App. Declining or ignoring them does not limit, degrade, or change any feature.

---

## 3. Data Storage

All data you enter into ScopeDOPE — including ammunition profiles, ballistic settings, DOPE sessions, and scope corrections — is stored **exclusively on your device**. This data is never transmitted to Cold Bore Ballistics LLC or any third party.

Cold Bore Ballistics LLC has no access to your data. We cannot retrieve, view, or recover it. If you uninstall the App or delete your data within the App, it is gone permanently.

---

## 4. How Your Data Is Used

Because we do not collect your data, we do not use it for any purpose. We do not:

- Analyze your ballistic data
- Use your shooting activity for product improvement or research
- Sell, rent, or share any information with third parties
- Target you with advertising
- Process your ballistic data, sessions, or personal information on any server

The one exception is the optional crash reporting feature described in Section 6: if you choose to enable it, anonymous crash diagnostics — never your ballistic data, sessions, or personal information — are sent to our crash reporting provider to help us fix bugs.

---

## 5. BLE Device Pairing

ScopeDOPE supports pairing with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) weather sensors (such as the WeatherFlow Tactical) and label printers (such as the Niimbot B1) to support live condition readings and label printing. This pairing is **entirely local** — data exchanged between the App and paired BLE devices remains on your device and is never transmitted to Cold Bore Ballistics LLC or any third party.

Bluetooth pairing uses your device's standard Bluetooth functionality. Cold Bore Ballistics LLC does not receive information about which devices you pair with or what data those devices transmit.

---

## 6. Optional Connected Features

ScopeDOPE offers three optional features that can send data off your device. **Every one is opt-in, off by default, and never required to use the App.** The App works exactly the same whether these features are on or off — declining or disabling them does not limit, degrade, or change any functionality.

Each optional feature is disclosed before it is activated. You can review or change your choices at any time in **Settings → Privacy**.

---

### 6.1 Crash Reporting

**Off by default.** When you first open the App, we ask whether you would like to enable crash reporting. If you do nothing, or decline, no crash data is ever sent.

**If — and only if — you turn it on,** when the App crashes it sends an anonymous diagnostic report to our crash reporting provider, Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.). A report includes only:

- The technical crash details (the "stack trace" — which part of the App's code failed)
- The App version
- Your device's operating system version
- Your device model (e.g., "Galaxy A16")
- The time the crash occurred

**A crash report never includes:**

- Your name, email, or any contact information
- Any user or device identifier that identifies you personally
- Your location or GPS coordinates
- Any of your ammunition profiles, ballistic settings, DOPE data, or saved sessions
- Any information about your firearm or shooting activity
- The contents of any file you have created or opened

You can review Sentry's privacy practices at sentry.io. We send Sentry only the anonymous diagnostic data described above.

---

### 6.2 `.dope` File Submission

**Never automatic.** You may choose to voluntarily submit a `.dope` file to Cold Bore Ballistics LLC for validation, troubleshooting, or support purposes. This is always an explicit, deliberate action initiated by you — the App will never transmit a `.dope` file without your direct action.

A `.dope` file contains your ballistic configuration data. Before submitting, review its contents. Cold Bore Ballistics LLC uses submitted files only for the stated support or validation purpose and does not retain them for marketing, analytics, or any other purpose.

---

### 6.3 In-App Feedback

**Never automatic.** The App provides an optional mechanism to submit feedback, bug reports, or feature suggestions directly to Cold Bore Ballistics LLC. You initiate this action explicitly. You control what you write and send.

Feedback submissions are used solely to improve the App. We do not use them to identify you personally.

---

**The App integrates no third-party analytics, advertising, or data collection SDKs** beyond Sentry for crash reporting (Section 6.1, opt-in only). We do not use Google Analytics or Firebase Analytics, Facebook SDK or any social login, or any advertising network or user tracking framework.

The App is distributed through Google Play and the Apple App Store. Those platforms' own privacy practices govern information they collect about your device and purchase — see the Google Play Privacy Policy and the Apple Privacy Policy for details. Cold Bore Ballistics LLC does not receive personal information from these platforms beyond aggregated, anonymized sales data (total install counts and revenue).

---

## 7. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at privacy@coldboreballisticsllc.com and we will take steps to address the situation. Because we do not collect any personal information from any user, there is no child-specific data for us to address.

---

## 8. Firearms and Sensitive Use

ScopeDOPE is a ballistic computer designed for precision rifle shooting. By its nature, use of the App implies lawful possession and use of a firearm. Cold Bore Ballistics LLC does not track, record, or report your use of the App or your firearm activity to any law enforcement or government agency. Nothing in this policy limits Cold Bore Ballistics LLC's ability to comply with a valid, lawfully issued court order requiring disclosure of specific information, though we note that we possess no personal information about our users that could be disclosed in response to such an order.

---

## 9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. The current version of this Privacy Policy is always available at `scope-dope.com/privacy`. Your continued use of the App after a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

## Revision Control Block

| Rev | Date | Changed By | Reviewed By | Approved By | Summary |
|-----|------|------------|-------------|-------------|---------|
| 0.9 | 2026-06-05 | jschwefel | — | — | Initial release |
| DRAFT | 2026-06-08 | jschwefel | — | — | Strengthened offline-first statement in §1; expanded §2 to enumerate all optional connected features; folded crash reporting, `.dope` file submission, and in-app feedback into unified §6 "Optional Connected Features" with sub-sections |
| DRAFT | 2026-06-08 | Claude Code | — | — | Disclosed optional Sentry crash reporting (opt-in, OFF by default): revised §1 intro, §2 collection list, §4 server-processing exception, and rewrote §6 (formerly "Third-Party Services") as "Optional Crash Reporting" with enumerated permitted payload and explicit exclusions (no PII, no ballistic/session/file data). Declining never degrades the App. Crash reporting must not ship externally before this disclosure is live. |
