Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Gunny Speaks Out handles information submitted through the website, including contact forms, Gunny giveaway entries, analytics, and social links. It helps visitors understand what information may be collected, how it is used, and how to contact the website owner about privacy questions.

Information We Collect

This website may collect information that visitors voluntarily submit through contact forms, event requests, support messages, or future newsletter forms. That may include a name, email address, phone number, organization, message details, and any content the visitor chooses to send.

The website may also use basic analytics tools in the future to understand page visits, popular content, device type, referring websites, and general traffic patterns. Analytics are used to improve the site and are not meant to personally identify visitors.

How Information Is Used

Information submitted through the website is used to respond to messages, manage community requests, improve website content, publish updates, and operate the Gunny Speaks Out online presence.

Information is not sold to advertisers. If third-party services are used, such as social platforms, embedded video providers, analytics tools, email tools, or Cloudflare hosting services, those providers may process data according to their own policies.

Privacy Questions

Privacy questions or requests can be sent through the Contact page. Gunny Raw accounts store the information needed to provide access and community features, including display name, email address, securely derived password data, account and session status, reactions, comments, replies, and timestamps. Passwords are not stored as readable text.

Gunny Raw Accounts and Community Activity

Gunny Raw subscribers may create a free account to access the complete feed and participate in reactions, comments, and replies. Account and community information is used to provide access, preserve reaction limits, display comments, prevent abuse, and moderate the community.

Comments and display names are public when posted. Email addresses, password data, and account details are not displayed publicly. Gunny Speaks Out may hide or remove comments and restrict accounts when necessary to protect the community or operate the service.

Giveaway Entry Information

When visitors enter a giveaway, Gunny Speaks Out may collect the information needed to administer the drawing, such as name, email address, phone number when requested, display handle, profile image link or compressed uploaded profile image when submitted, entry status, winner status, claim status, shipping information for winners, timestamps, IP-based rate-check information, and related review details. This information is used to manage entries, prevent duplicates, contact winners, publish winner history when appropriate, and protect the integrity of the giveaway.

Giveaway entry information is not sold to advertisers. The website may use service providers such as Cloudflare for hosting/security and email tools such as Resend for winner claim emails. Third-party social links are provided for convenience, but following, subscribing, watching, liking, commenting, or sharing on those platforms is not required to enter or win unless separate official rules lawfully say otherwise.
