HomeDefenseGuns (homedefenseguns.co) is an editorial site operated by Scout Theory LLC. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information you give us
If you use our contact form, we receive the name, email address and message you submit. We use it only to reply to you and to keep a record of the conversation. We do not add you to a mailing list unless you ask us to.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our server and analytics tools record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring page and the time of your visit. We use this to understand which guides are useful, to fix problems, and to protect the site from abuse. Our analytics script may set cookies or similar identifiers in your browser.
Affiliate links
Many product links on this site are affiliate links, including links to Ammunition Depot through the CJ Affiliate network. When you click one, the affiliate network may set cookies to record that the visit came from us, so we can earn a commission if you make a purchase. The network and the retailer handle that data under their own privacy policies. Clicking an affiliate link does not share your contact-form information with anyone.
How we use information
- To respond to messages you send us.
- To measure and improve our content and site performance.
- To detect and prevent spam, fraud and security problems.
- To comply with legal obligations.
What we don't do
We do not sell your personal information. We do not sell firearms or ammunition, and we never ask for payment details. Purchases happen on the retailer's site, under the retailer's policies.
Sharing
We share information only with service providers that help us run the site (such as hosting and analytics), when required by law, or to protect our rights and the safety of others.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and many browsers offer tracking protection. Blocking cookies may affect how some features work. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you. To make a request, use our contact page.
