HOW WE ENSURE THE SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION 

OA Defense is committed to securing personal information through appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to prevent unauthorized access, modification, disclosure, or loss. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security and are not responsible for third-party breaches. Security measures are revised according to technological development and commercially acceptable standards. 

HOW WE STORE INFORMATION 

OA Defense retains ownership of software, code, databases, designs, and internally developed applications. You retain rights to your posted data. We use external vendors and hosting companies for necessary technology. All information is stored in the United States and subject to U.S. law, regardless of origin. 

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION 

We retain personal information as long as necessary for Policy purposes, per retention policies, and per applicable laws and regulations. We retain longer for: 

• Security, fraud, and abuse prevention 
• Financial record-keeping 
• Legal/regulatory compliance, including firearm transaction records we are required to keep under the Gun Control Act and ATF regulations 
• Direct communications 

RIGHTS TO YOUR INFORMATION 

A. Requesting or Controlling Your Personal Information 

We make efforts to provide access, correct inaccuracies, or remove information upon request if not required for business or legal purposes. 

Covered Residents (Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Minnesota, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia) and California residents have specific rights, which may include: 

• Confirm whether we process your information and identify data type, allowing access, correction, and deletion 
• Opt-out of collection, processing, use, sale, or disclosure for targeted advertising or profiling (OA Defense does not do this) 
• Receive portable personal information copies 
• Obtain lists of third parties receiving your data 

We require identification and specify which information before processing requests. Verification information is used only for that purpose and not retained. 

State “right to delete” or “right to be forgotten” laws do not apply to records we are required by federal law to create and retain, including Form 4473s and bound-book entries maintained under the Gun Control Act and ATF regulations (27 CFR Part 478), or to information requested by the ATF or state or local law enforcement. We will retain and, where legally required, produce these records regardless of a deletion request. 

To exercise these rights: 

• Call (910) 975-7316, or 
• Email support@oadefense.com 

We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and provide processing information. We endeavor to respond within 45 calendar days. Removal is possible unless we have legitimate/lawful purposes to retain it or are legally required to retain it. 

We may refuse requests we believe are fraudulent, unreasonably effortful, infeasible, endanger others’ privacy, or require unusual access. We may deny if we cannot verify you within 45 days. If more time is needed (up to 90 days), we will inform you in writing. 

If we deny your request, some states allow appeal submissions: 

• Call (910) 975-7316, or 
• Email support@oadefense.com 

B. Do Not Track 

We do not respond to “Do Not Track” browser requests. 

We will honor a Global Privacy Control (GPC) or similar opt-out preference signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, or its use for targeted advertising, to the extent required by applicable state law. Because OA Defense does not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising, honoring this signal does not change how we currently process your information. 

RIGHTS OF CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS

(v) Exercising Right to Access, Correct, or Delete 

To exercise these rights: 

• Call (910) 975-7316, or 
• Email support@oadefense.com 

Only you or a person you authorize may make a Verifiable Consumer Request. You may request on behalf of your minor child. 

You may make a Verifiable Consumer Request for access/data portability twice in 12 months. It must: 

• Provide sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the person or an authorized representative, and 
• Describe your request with sufficient detail for proper understanding/evaluation/response 

We cannot respond if we cannot verify your identity/authority or confirm it relates to you. No account creation is required. We use request information only for verification purposes. Under the CCPA, you may exercise these rights or designate an authorized agent. We may request written permission from you and verify the agent’s identity. 

We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and provide processing information. We endeavor to respond within 45 calendar days. We may deny if we cannot verify you within 45 days. If more time is needed (up to 90 days), we will inform you in writing. We respond in the same format as your original Request. 

Disclosures cover only the 12 months before Request receipt. We will explain reasons for non-compliance, if applicable. For data portability, we will select a readily useable format allowing transfer to another entity without hindrance. We do not charge unless excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. We will explain any fee and provide an estimate before completing your Request. 

NON-DISCRIMINATION 

We will not discriminate for exercising privacy rights. Unless permitted by law, we will not: 

• Deny you goods or services 
• Charge different prices/rates (including discounts/benefits or penalties) 
• Provide different level/quality of goods or services 
• Suggest different pricing/rates or quality 

OA Defense complies with applicable state/federal laws and reserves the right to deny/modify goods, services, or prices per compliance. 

Our Website and Services are not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from those under 18. If aware a child under 18 provided information, we delete it without undue delay. Parents/guardians of children under 18 may review and request deletion and prohibit use. 

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY AND AGE REQUIREMENTS 

Contact us (see below). Use of this site to purchase accessories, apparel, and non-firearm merchandise is intended for those 18 and older. Where a purchase involves the transfer of a complete firearm through a licensed Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), federal law requires the receiving FFL to verify that purchasers of handguns are 21 or older and purchasers of long guns are 18 or older; state or local law may impose stricter requirements. The FFL completing your transfer will verify your eligibility and age at pickup. 

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY 

We may occasionally update this Policy. We encourage you to review it. If changes materially affect privacy rights, we will notify you via prominent website notice or other methods, such as email. Changes take effect from posting date.
