Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 01OCT2026

Our Data Silo Guarantee

At Cardinal Instruction Institute, LLC (CII), your personal information is completely siloed and protected. We will never sell, trade, rent, or lease your data to any third-party marketing companies, external data brokers, or advertisers. Nobody can buy your data from us.

Data We do keep & Why

Strictly to run our business and fulfill your training requests we will collect your name, email address, phone number, and location. We will require additional information for Concealed Carry Permit training or security training (such as any current licenses being maintained, and the agency employing and sponsoring your training) and for fingerprinting services to confirm you are who is actually receiving these services. We will not utilize cloud storage for this data. Air-gapped, offline storage via USB backups and paper files are prioritized. We silo the data we keep.

  • Billing Security: Single credit and debit transactions are individually processed securely through SquareUp (Square). Their hardware and software automatically encrypt and protect your financial data. We do not receive or store your card numbers using any CII hardware.
  • Mandatory Reporting: As part of standard processing for specific training, we may submit your training records to official licensing bodies like the Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZ DPS) and certifying bodies such as the National Rifle Association (NRA). This sharing is a strict necessity to confirm your course completion as part of the process for you to acquire your licenses or credentials from them.
  • Statutory Record Keeping: We store class attendance lists and transaction logs for state-mandated durations. Compliance with these mandatory record-keeping laws is our primary reason for retaining any of your data after a class concludes.

Future Communications

We may occasionally contact you via email or physical mail to share updates about upcoming CII services or training events. We happily provide you a means to opt-out of these forms of contact, some of you value your peace; we completely understand that. CII will never send you marketing solicitations via phone calls or text messages. We will never use automated systems to send these. Rest assured, if you do receive a solicitation from us… it will have been the effort of individual manual labor.

Policy Updates

This privacy policy is subject to change or modification as our operations grow or state compliance mandates evolve. Any adjustments will be updated directly on this page with a revised effective date.

Thank you for your interest in Cardinal Instruction Institute
