LAST UPDATED: JUNE 2026

Welcome to ShotSmith. Your privacy is paramount inside The Forge. This Privacy Policy details how we aggregate, protect, and handle data when you utilize the ShotSmith mobile application and our connected online ecosystems.

1. DATA WE AGGREGATE

To provide a smooth synthesis of spirits interface, we process minimal data payloads required for verification and performance monitoring:

  • Account Profiles: Your username, verified email address, phone number configurations, and encrypted credential hashes.
  • Social Integration Identifiers: Unique validation tokens passed securely via external handles (Apple, Google, Facebook tokens).
  • Device Tokens: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) tokens required explicitly to broadcast user push notifications.
  • Interaction Metric Summaries: Numeric app values such as your custom favorites tracker, sunk counters, and profile metrics.

2. HOW INFORMATION IS UTILIZED

Your details are used only to manage security protocols, personalize app analytics layouts, check premium account status indicators, and sync push notices directly with your device ecosystem. We never trade or distribute user profile data to external data groups.

3. SYSTEM INTEGRATION COMPLIANCE

ShotSmith works with safe industry networks to maintain infrastructure uptime:

  • Google Firebase Suite: Used for secure user profile verification checkpoints and notifications transmission layers.
  • Meta Developer Core: Used to enable quick single-sign-on access via authorized social channels.
  • Google Mobile Ads: Standard diagnostic identifiers used safely to display integrated advertising assets.

4. SECURITY & MANAGEMENT Protocols

Data tables are securely hosted using isolated PostgreSQL storage infrastructure behind advanced production firewalls. We maintain rigorous standard safeguards to protect against unauthorized account extraction activity.

5. YOUR ARCHIVE RIGHTS

You keep complete ownership of your data history. You can request changes, pull down full logs, or erase your complete application registry profile instantly using the dedicated user data removal pathways outlined on our technical platform information page.
