The Short Version
CaliRoster is a static informational website. We collect minimal data, do not sell firearms, do not sell your personal information, and do not track you across the internet. Your favorites are stored locally in your browser and never transmitted to us. We respect your privacy and are committed to transparency about how this site operates.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
CaliRoster does not require account creation, registration, or login. If you contact us via our contact page or email, we may receive your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit CaliRoster, our hosting provider may automatically collect certain technical information as part of standard server operations, including: your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, date and time of access, and general geographic location (country/region level). This data is collected by our hosting infrastructure and is not used by CaliRoster for marketing, profiling, or any purpose beyond basic site operation and security.
Local Storage (Browser-Based Data)
CaliRoster uses your browser's localStorage feature to store your favorites list and age verification status. This data remains entirely on your device and is never transmitted to CaliRoster or any third party. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
CaliRoster does not collect, store, or process: Social Security numbers or government-issued identification numbers, financial information, credit card or payment data, biometric data, precise geolocation data, information about firearm purchases or ownership, or any information from individuals under 21 years of age.
3. How We Use Information
Any information we collect is used exclusively to operate and maintain the website, respond to user inquiries, monitor for security threats or abuse, and improve site performance and user experience. We do not use any collected information for advertising, marketing, profiling, or selling to third parties.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
CaliRoster itself does not set cookies. We use browser localStorage (not cookies) for site functionality such as favorites and age verification. We do not use tracking pixels, web beacons, fingerprinting, or any cross-site tracking technologies. If we add analytics in the future, we will use a privacy-respecting service that does not track individual users across websites, and this policy will be updated accordingly.
5. Third-Party Services
Hosting
This site is hosted on GitHub Pages, which may collect basic server logs as part of their standard hosting infrastructure. Please refer to GitHub's General Privacy Statement for details on their data practices.
External Links
CaliRoster contains links to external websites including firearm retailers, manufacturer websites, the California Department of Justice, and other third-party resources. These external sites have their own privacy policies and data practices. CaliRoster is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of any external websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.
Fonts
This site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which may collect your IP address and browser information when fonts are delivered. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
CaliRoster does not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to any third party for any reason. We may disclose information only if required to do so by law, court order, or valid legal process, or if necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of CaliRoster, its users, or the public.
7. Data Security
CaliRoster is served over HTTPS to encrypt data in transit between your browser and our servers. Because we collect minimal data and operate as a static website with no user accounts or databases, the attack surface for your personal information is extremely limited. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Data Retention
Because CaliRoster does not maintain user accounts or databases, we do not retain personal information beyond what is automatically collected by our hosting provider as part of standard server logs. Server logs maintained by our hosting provider are subject to their own retention policies. Contact form inquiries are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your message.
9. Your Rights Under California Law (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion of your personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (CaliRoster does not sell or share personal information), the right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights, and the right to correct inaccurate personal information.
Because CaliRoster collects minimal data, does not maintain user accounts, and does not sell personal information, most of these rights are satisfied by default. If you wish to exercise any of these rights or have questions, please contact us through our contact page.
10. Do Not Track
CaliRoster respects Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. Because we do not engage in cross-site tracking or behavioral advertising, your experience on CaliRoster is the same regardless of your DNT settings.
11. Age Restrictions
CaliRoster is not directed at individuals under the age of 21. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 21. In compliance with California Assembly Bill 2571 (Bus. & Prof. Code § 22949.80), this website is not intended to market or advertise firearms or firearm-related products to minors. If you are under 21, please do not use this website.
12. International Users
CaliRoster is operated from the United States and is intended for users interested in California's handgun roster. If you access this site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of CaliRoster after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
