The short version
Shoot House does not collect, transmit or sell your personal data. It has no user accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting and no third-party tracking software of any kind. Fitz Systems LLC operates no server that the app talks to. Everything the app produces stays on your own devices and your own network.
Data we collect
None. We do not receive any information from the app — not usage data, not device identifiers, not diagnostics, not your training results.
Face data
Shoot House does not collect, use, store, transmit, share or retain face data of any kind. The app performs no face detection, face recognition, face mapping or facial analysis. It does not use Apple's Vision or ARKit frameworks, TrueDepth data, Face ID, or any other biometric or face-related interface, and it links no third-party library that does. The app's detection works by locating a bright red or green laser dot in the camera image using a color and brightness threshold; it has no concept of a face and cannot identify a person.
The app lets you photograph any object you wish to use as a shooting target and then trace scoring zones onto that photo by tapping points. One optional zone type is labeled “Head”. This is a scoring region you draw by hand, named for where a shot lands on a conventional silhouette target. It is not produced by face detection, it carries no facial measurements or landmarks, and it is not linked to any identity. It is stored on your device as a set of coordinates alongside the photo you took.
Because no face data is collected, none is shared with third parties, none is stored on any server, and there is no retention period — there is nothing to retain. Any photo you take for a custom target stays on your own device and is deleted when you delete the target or the app.
Permissions and what they are for
- Camera
- The camera is how the app detects laser hits. Video frames are analyzed on your device, in memory, and are not recorded or transmitted. The one exception is a still photo you take deliberately when setting up a custom target: that image is saved on your device so the app can score against it, and it is sent over your local network to your own hub computer if you are running a Shoot House course. It is never sent to us.
- Microphone
- Used only to hear a clap or a shot so a drill can start hands-free. Audio is analyzed in real time to detect a loud transient and is never recorded, saved, or transmitted. No audio ever leaves your device.
- Network access
- Used only to reach the optional hub application running on a computer on your own local network, at an address you type in or scan from a QR code. The app contains no other network destinations and makes no requests to the internet.
- Notifications
- Used for one thing: when a phone is acting as the radio handset for a Shoot House course, an ongoing notification keeps it awake and connected so it does not miss a call while it is in your pocket. Dismissing it stops the handset. No other notifications are sent, and none are used for marketing.
Data stored on your device
The app keeps your settings, camera calibration, drill results and any custom target photos in its own private storage on your phone. This data is not readable by other apps. Uninstalling Shoot House deletes all of it.
The Shoot House hub
The optional hub application runs on a Mac or Windows computer that you control, and communicates with your phones over your own WiFi. Drills you build and runs you save are written to ordinary files on that computer. The hub does not connect to the internet and sends nothing to us.
Children
Shoot House is a firearms-training tool intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
