FAQ
Common questions.
›What is ArmorY?
ArmorY is a private digital ledger for firearms collectors. It's also, optionally, a platform for shops and serious sellers to publish listings and negotiate with buyers.
›Is ArmorY a marketplace?
No. ArmorY is a communication platform. We don't broker sales, hold funds in escrow, ship anything, or take a cut of any transaction. Two parties find each other on the platform; everything else happens off-platform under applicable law.
›How much does ArmorY cost?
Collectors choose between two subscription tiers; current pricing and what's included in each is shown on the signup screen. Shop pricing is shown during the shop signup flow — see our For shops page.
›Who can sign up?
Sign-up is open to anyone who agrees to our Terms and Acceptable Use Policy. Opening a shop is a separate flow with a short application.
›Where does my data live?
On ArmorY's hosted infrastructure if you sign up at this domain, or on your own hardware if you self-host. Photos and receipts are filesystem files; everything else is in a Postgres database. We do not use third-party cloud storage.
›Can I export my collection?
Yes. Every collection can be exported as a PDF or XLSX, and your photos, receipts, and videos can be downloaded in bulk as a ZIP archive — per item or for the whole collection. Your data is never trapped.
›Does ArmorY verify buyers, sellers, or eligibility to own a firearm?
No. ArmorY does not verify identity, age, residency, FFL status, or any other eligibility. That responsibility — by law, and by design — lives with the parties to the transaction and any required licensee.
›Do I need an FFL to use ArmorY?
Not to use it as a personal ledger. Whether you need one to sell on the platform depends on your jurisdiction, the volume of your activity, and the items you're selling. ArmorY does not provide legal advice.
›Can I share specific items without making my whole collection public?
Yes. Each item supports per-share-link visibility flags — serial, price, notes, and purchase source can each be shown or hidden. Generate a link, send it, and the recipient sees only what you allowed.
›Will ArmorY ever sell my data or run ads against it?
No. ArmorY's revenue comes from shop subscriptions, not from advertising or data resale. This is a design commitment, not a marketing line.
›Can multiple people in a shop log in to the same account?
You don't share passwords — you invite team members. Shops support multi-user roles: owner, manager, staff, and viewer, each with the right level of access. Each member toggles their own offer-email notifications.
›What if I want my data deleted?
From the account page, request deletion. You have a 30-day window to undo via a link emailed to your address. After 30 days, your account, collections, photos, receipts, and activity are permanently removed. See the Privacy Policy for the full process and timing.
