Privacy Policy

Overview

SilencerScout does not require an account to use this site and does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or payment details through ordinary browsing. This policy describes the limited, non-personal information we do collect, and how cookies are used.

Information We Collect

When you visit SilencerScout, our analytics provider automatically records standard server and browser signals. This information is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally. It includes:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website or search query
• Browser type and version
• Operating system and device type (desktop, tablet, mobile)
• Approximate geographic region (country or region — not precise location)

We use this data solely to understand how visitors use the site and to improve content and performance. We do not sell, rent, or trade this information to any third party.

Cookies & Local Storage

SilencerScout does not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies of its own, and does not use cookies to build a profile of you. The limited technologies we do use fall into the categories below.

You can disable or delete cookies and clear local storage at any time through your browser settings. Doing so will not prevent you from browsing SilencerScout, though functional preferences such as your saved comparison list may be reset.

Third-Party Services

SilencerScout embeds links to third-party retailers (Silencer Shop, SDI Firearms, Brownells, GunBroker, and others). Once you leave our site, this privacy policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Children

This site is not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect any information from minors.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date at the top of this page.

European Union Residents (GDPR)

If you are located in the EU or EEA, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you additional rights over your data. SilencerScout LLC is the data controller for any data processed in connection with your use of this site.

Lawful basis for processing: Cookie-free analytics data is processed on the basis of legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) — measuring and improving site performance using fully anonymous, aggregated data. Essential local storage and any session cookie are strictly necessary for the site to function and to remember your choices. Affiliate tracking cookies set by retailers when you click an outbound link are processed under consent (Article 6(1)(a)); you can prevent them by disabling third-party cookies in your browser.

International transfers: Our analytics provider may process data on servers outside the EEA, including in the United States, under standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.

Your rights: Under GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port your data, to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and to withdraw consent at any time. Because we collect only anonymous analytics data we may be unable to locate a record tied to a specific individual, but we will respond to all verifiable requests within 30 days. Email silencerscout.llc@gmail.com with the subject line "GDPR Request".

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your EU member state. A directory of national authorities is available on the European Data Protection Board website.
