Cold Bore
Privacy Policy
Cold Bore is a shot group analysis app that runs entirely on your device. We do not collect, store, sell or share any of your personal data.
Summary
- We do not collect any data from you.
- The app makes no network connections. It cannot send anything to us or to anyone else.
- It has no analytics, advertising, tracking or crash reporting.
- It has no accounts and requires no sign-in.
- Everything you create stays on your device unless you choose to export or share it.
What the app stores on your device
Cold Bore keeps the following on your device, in the app's private storage:
- Shot groups, shot positions and measurements
- Firearms, ammunition, attachments and range session records you enter
- Target photos you take or choose, used to measure your groups
- App settings, such as theme, units and display preferences
We cannot see this data. The app does not upload it to any server, and on Android it is excluded from Google's automatic cloud backup.
Permissions
| Permission | Why it is used |
|---|---|
| Camera | To photograph a target so you can measure a shot group. Photos are only taken when you choose to take one. |
| Photos / media | To choose an existing target photo, and to save exported group images to a “Cold Bore” album when you ask the app to. |
Cold Bore does not request location, microphone, contacts or internet access.
Photo metadata
Target photos you add are re-encoded before the app stores them. This removes embedded metadata such as GPS location and camera details. Images you export or share are newly rendered by the app and contain no metadata from the original photo.
Exporting and sharing
You can export backups (JSON) and images of your groups. You choose where these files go: a folder on your device, your photo library, or another app through your device's share sheet. After you share a file with another app or person, that app's or person's privacy practices apply to it.
JSON backups include your target photos, so treat backup files as you would your photos.
Deleting your data
- Uninstall the app to permanently delete everything Cold Bore has stored on your device.
- Settings → Clear all data erases your groups, firearms, ammunition and sessions.
- Files you have exported (backups, images) are not deleted by the app. Remove them yourself if you no longer want them.
We hold no copy of your data, so there is nothing for us to delete on your behalf.
Children
Cold Bore is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update the effective date above and publish the new version at the same location.
