Privacy Statement
 
Effective Date: November 1, 2006
THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Personally identifiable information you provide GunsInternational.com, when you register will not be sold or given to outside sources without your permission. Third-party providers featured on or linked to by our website, such as vendors of products and services offered through our site by third parties, may be gathering information, as well, through processes we don't control.
Searches and Listings
To make use of certain features on our site, visitors need to provide limited information about themselves and their interests so that we can tailor the information we provide to their needs. For example, to help you find an item you want close to home, we need to know what kind of item you're looking for and your zip code. We ask you to provide this information when you perform a search. We use this information to help you find the gun you're looking for. If you find a listing that interests you and elect to send the seller an email through our website, we'll share with the seller the contact information you supply through our online "Contact Seller" form. If you do not wish to share your email address or other contact information with the sellers who advertise on our website, you should not use our "Contact Seller" contact form. Many of the seller listings that appear on our website include telephone numbers that can be used to contact the seller that is selling the advertised item. When you list an item for sale, we ask for information on the item and on how you can be contacted by potential buyers. We also ask for your credit card number and the expiration date on your card. We use this information to create your ad and to process your payment.
Email Addresses
If you provide us your email address, we may email you about our website or our services, or to inquire about your experience using our website or sites operated by others. From time to time, we'll also send you emails that may include gun information, special promotions and other commercial offers that we think may be of interest to you. Though we hope you'll find these communications informative and useful, if you don't, you can always unsubscribe by following the simple instructions included in each email.
