2 B.O.L.T. advantages competitors don't clearly advertise

1-Click Account Export

Every FFL admin can download their entire account — firearms, customers, 4473s, invoices, uploads — as a single signed zip. Provides a structured, self-serve copy of your account data; whether it satisfies a specific GDPR portability, CCPA, or state public-records request depends on the request’s scope and applicable law.

Self-service export — no engineering ticket required.

httpOnly Cookie Auth

Tokens never touch localStorage . Three isolated cookies (User · Admin · ATF Inspector) with HttpOnly block JavaScript from reading the cookie value, which specifically stops a class of XSS-driven token exfiltration. It is not a defense against every XSS impact — a compromised page can still make authenticated same-origin requests — so we layer CSP, CSRF double-submit, per-scope cookie isolation, and short-lived sessions on top.

Common alternative: JWT in localStorage — vulnerable to XSS token exfiltration
