Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2024 | Last Updated: March 1, 2026

Kentucky Gun Shop (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by Webb Firearms LLC, is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at kentucky-gunshop.com or make a purchase from us. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of our site.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

  • Identity Data: Full name, date of birth (required for age verification on firearm purchases)
  • Contact Data: Email address, phone number, billing address, shipping address (FFL dealer address)
  • Financial Data: Payment card information (processed by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers on our servers)
  • Transaction Data: Products purchased, order history, purchase prices, FFL dealer information
  • Communications Data: Messages sent to us via contact forms, emails, or phone records

Information Collected Automatically

  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers
  • Usage Data: Pages visited, time on site, referring URLs, click patterns
  • Cookie Data: See our Cookie Policy section below

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Process and fulfill your firearm orders, including coordinating FFL transfer shipments
  • Verify your age and eligibility to purchase firearms as required by federal law
  • Communicate with you about your order status, shipping, and FFL transfer updates
  • Respond to customer service inquiries and support requests
  • Comply with legal obligations, including ATF recordkeeping requirements
  • Send promotional emails if you’ve opted in (you may unsubscribe at any time)
  • Improve our website, products, and customer experience
  • Detect and prevent fraud, unauthorized transactions, and illegal activity

3. Firearms Purchase Data Retention — ATF Requirements

As a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), we are subject to strict recordkeeping requirements under federal law (27 CFR Part 478). We are legally required to retain records of all firearm transactions — including Form 4473 information — for a minimum of 20 years. This is a federal legal obligation that supersedes normal data deletion requests for transaction records. If our business were to close, all transaction records would be transferred to the ATF in accordance with federal regulations.

This long-term retention applies specifically to: the identity of the transferee, the firearm transferred (make, model, serial number), the date of transfer, and the FFL dealer through whom the transfer was completed. This data cannot be deleted upon request due to mandatory ATF retention requirements.

4. Information Sharing and Third-Party Processors

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as necessary with:

  • Payment Processors: We use industry-standard PCI-DSS compliant payment processing. Your payment card data is transmitted directly to our payment processor; we do not store or have access to your full card number.
  • Shipping Carriers: FedEx and UPS receive your FFL dealer’s name and address to complete firearm delivery. Name and address only — no financial information.
  • FFL Receiving Dealers: We share your name and our FFL documentation with your chosen receiving dealer to complete the transfer, as required by federal law.
  • Government Authorities: We will disclose information to law enforcement or government agencies when required by law, subpoena, court order, or ATF inspection.
  • Business Operations: We may use third-party service providers for email marketing, analytics, and website hosting. These providers are contractually prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than providing their services to us.

5. Cookie Policy

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience. We use:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function, including shopping cart functionality and user sessions. Cannot be disabled.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymized data. You can opt out via Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
  • Marketing Cookies: Used to display relevant advertisements if you have opted into marketing. You can disable these via your browser settings or our cookie consent tool.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality, including the ability to add items to your cart.

6. Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission. Payment processing uses PCI-DSS compliant systems. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Under GDPR, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure (subject to legal retention requirements), restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to object to processing.
