Overview
To provide a safe, secure, and efficient business environment, Guntopia requires
certain personal information of our Users (defined as, those individuals or
businesses that register with Guntopia). To fully utilize our services and benefits
you will have to register online and provide us with some personal information,
including but not limited to; who you are, where you live, how we can get in contact
with you, and credit card information. We require this to ensure that you are
serious about your intentions with your listing or bidding on our site. We will
protect your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Personal
information is encrypted and transmitted via our SSL (Secure Socket Layer) lines. We
automatically track certain information about you based upon your behavior on our
site. We use this information to do internal research on our users' demographics,
interests, and behavior to better understand and serve our users. This information
is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. This information may include the
URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you
next go to (whether this URL is on our site or not), what browser you are using, and
your IP address. In addition, we use cookies on certain pages of our site. We may
also offer certain features that are only available through the use of a cookie.
Among other reasons why we use cookies, cookies allow you to enter your password
less frequently during a session. Cookies can also help us provide information,
which is targeted, to your interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on
our site. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are
automatically deleted at the end of a session. You are always free to decline our
cookies if your browser permits, although in that case you may not be able to use
certain features on our site and you may be required to reenter your password more
frequently during a session. If you choose to bid, buy or sell on our site, we
collect information about your bidding, buying and selling behavior. If you send us
personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third
parties send us correspondence about your activities, we may collect such
information into a file specific to you. If you use a service provided by a company
providing a service co-branded with Guntopia branding (a "Co-Brand Service
Provider"), the Co-Brand Service Provider may provide personal information
about you and possibly the transaction back to Guntopia as is more fully detailed
below.

Our Use of Your Information
We use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing and
promotional efforts, to statistically analyze site usage, to improve our content and
product offerings and to customize our site's content, layout, and services. We
believe these uses allow us to improve our site and better tailor it to meet our
users' needs. We may also use your information to deliver information to you that,
in some cases, are targeted to your interests, such as targeted banners, new
services and promotions. By accepting the User Agreement you expressly agree to
receive this information. We use your email address, your mailing address, and phone
number to contact you regarding administrative notices, new product offerings, and
communications relevant to your use of the Site. If you do not wish to receive these
communications, you may have the ability to opt out. If you choose to sell or buy on
our site, we may use your address and billing information to bill you and provide
associated support. We use information in the file we maintain about you, and other
information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Site, to resolve
disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our User Agreement. At times, we may
look across multiple users to identify problems or resolve disputes, and in
particular on rare occasions we may evaluate your information to look for users
using multiple User IDs or aliases.

Our Disclosure of Your Information
Unfortunately, due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all
of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will
never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of
example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be forced to disclose information
to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may
unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We can (and
you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other
government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or
appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property
infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal
liability. Further, we can (and you authorize us to) disclose your UserID, name,
street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email, and company to
Guntopia SECURE Program participants as we in our sole discretion believe necessary
or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property
infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. Therefore, although we use
industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you
should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private
communications will remain private. The following describes some of the ways that
your personally identifiable information may be disclosed.
