Johnson Digital Systems builds software with privacy as a foundation, not a feature. This policy covers johnsondigitalsystems.com and all products we publish, including LoadOut and Daily Alignment.
johnsondigitalsystems.com is hosted on Firebase. We do not add tracking, advertising pixels, or third-party analytics to this site.
If you submit a contact form, the information you provide (name, email, message) is used solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not sell or share this information.
LoadOut is built on a local-first architecture. Your reloading data — recipes, firearms, brass, range sessions, ballistic profiles — lives only on your device. We do not operate a backend that stores this data.
The following narrow exceptions apply when you opt into specific features:
Firebase Auth
Email + OAuth tokens, only if you choose to sign in. Sign-in is optional.
Crashlytics
Fatal crash stack traces only, PII redacted. On by default, opt-out available in Settings.
Cloud Backup / Sync
Opt-in only. Data is encrypted on your device before being uploaded to your own iCloud, Google Drive, or OneDrive. We never see the encrypted blob.
AI Smart Import
Opt-in per use, Pro only. Sends OCR'd text from a single photo to Anthropic's API. No other data is transmitted.
Live Weather
Opt-in per use, Pro only. Sends latitude/longitude to open-meteo.com. No identity data is transmitted.
We do not use general analytics. We do not sell your data. We do not track what you do in the app.
Favorites, Vault, journey progress, reflections, and journal entries are stored locally on your device. None of this data is transmitted to our servers.
Daily Alignment uses Firebase Crashlytics for crash reporting only. Audio content is served from Firebase Storage.
