ShotSentry privacy policy

Effective October 3, 2026

This policy describes how TechNICKal LLC ("we", "us", or "our"), publisher of ShotSentry and operator of technickalapps.com, handles information relating to the app.

Privacy at a glance

ShotSentry has no app account or advertisements. Microphone audio and training records are not uploaded to us. Apple handles the optional one-time Pro purchase on iPhone; Google Play handles it on Android. We do not add advertising, tracking, or training analytics services. Google Play Billing can send technical diagnostics to Google as described below.

Microphone

Microphone permission is requested when you first use Start, Check detection, or Learn my shots. Samples are analyzed live on your iPhone or Android phone during detection checks, calibration, timing, and optional shot learning to detect acoustic impulses. Audio is never recorded, saved, or transmitted by the app. Microphone capture ends when the active timing or detection session stops, or when the app moves to the background.

Local training data

Timer settings and a daily free-run counter are saved locally. Optional Learn my shots builds a temporary acoustic reference in memory; it is cleared when the audio route changes or you leave the timer. Free includes 5 successful timing starts per calendar day; canceled calibration/countdowns do not count. Pro can save custom drills and completed run history, including dates, drill names, shot times, and corrections. Free runs remain available only as current-session results and are not added to saved history. Existing saved data remains on the device if Pro access is revoked; it is not erased automatically. You can clear history from the History tab, including without Pro access. Pro drills can be deleted from their menus. Deleting the app removes its remaining local data, subject to Apple's backup and device-transfer settings on iPhone. Android app data is excluded from cloud backup and device transfer.

CSV and PDF files are created locally only when you choose Export in History. Data leaves the app only when you choose to share an export through another app or service. Those destinations handle your data under their own policies. Restoring Pro access does not restore deleted training records.

Purchases

Apple processes payments and provides signed transaction information that the app uses to verify, restore, or revoke Pro access. We do not receive payment-card information. Apple may provide us with sales and financial reports through App Store Connect. Apple's processing is governed by Apple's privacy policy. Purchase verification may require an internet connection; previously verified access can be available through Apple's on-device transaction cache.

On Android, Google Play processes payments and provides signed purchase information that the app uses to verify, restore, or revoke Pro access. Signed purchase evidence is stored privately on the phone for offline access; successful checks with Google Play refresh access. Purchase tokens are sent to Google to acknowledge successful purchases. Google Play Billing can also automatically send technical diagnostics to Google, including app and billing-library versions, device model and operating-system information, billing response/error information, and billing-session identifiers. Google uses this information to operate, secure, and diagnose its billing service; this diagnostic processing is disclosed under analytics in the Google Play Data safety form. We do not receive payment-card information or these SDK diagnostic logs. Google may provide sales and financial reports through Play Console. Google's processing is governed by Google's privacy policy. An Android purchase and an iPhone purchase are separate.

Bluetooth

iOS and Android control audio routing to connected headphones and the active microphone. The app can display the name of the active Bluetooth audio output to help you check the beep route. That name is not saved in training records or transmitted to us.

Support and website

If you email support or use Send Feedback, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send. Send Feedback opens an email draft for your review; it can include the app version and operating system version, and does not attach audio, training records, or purchase details. We use this to answer your request and troubleshoot issues, and retain correspondence only as needed for support, security, or applicable legal obligations. Avoid sending unnecessary personal information. Our email is provided through Google Workspace. The public website is hosted using Google Firebase Hosting; delivery and security processing may include technical information such as IP addresses and request details. These pages contain no advertising or analytics scripts. See Google's privacy policy.

Your choices

Manage microphone permission in iPhone or Android Settings. Clear saved run history in the History tab or delete the app to remove local app data. We cannot access or remotely erase your on-device training records. Contact us to request deletion of support correspondence, subject to records we must retain. Apple's purchase, billing, backup, and TestFlight data are managed through Apple. Google Play purchases and testing data are managed through Google.

Security and changes

We use iOS and Android app-private storage and permission controls, and keep training data on the phone. No system can guarantee absolute security. We will update this policy and its effective date when our practices change.
