Who we are

GunTube ("we", "us", or "our") operates this website and the firearms-related video sharing, streaming, and community services available on it. GunTube is a content service intended solely for a United States audience exercising their Second Amendment rights, and is not directed at, marketed to, or intended for use by individuals located outside of the United States. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have regarding your data. By using GunTube, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

What information we collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as your username, email address, password, and any profile information you choose to add. When you upload content, we collect the files, titles, descriptions, and metadata associated with that content. If you purchase a paid membership or subscription, our payment processor (PayPal) handles your payment details directly — we do not store your full card or bank account numbers. We also automatically collect certain technical information when you use the site, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visits, typically through the use of cookies and similar technologies.

How we use personal information

We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve GunTube, to create and manage your account, to process payments and subscriptions, to deliver the content and features you request, and to communicate with you about your account, transactions, or updates to our services. We also use this information to monitor and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our terms of service, and to comply with our legal obligations.

What legal grounds we have for processing your personal data

This Privacy Policy, and all processing of your personal data, is governed exclusively by applicable United States federal law and the law of the state in which GunTube operates. We do not operate under, and do not voluntarily extend, rights or obligations arising under foreign data protection frameworks such as the EU/UK GDPR. We process your personal data on the following grounds: performance of our agreement with you when we provide you with our services (such as hosting your account and content), our legitimate business interests in operating and securing the platform, your consent where we request it (for example, for certain cookies), and compliance with applicable U.S. legal obligations.

When do we share personal data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the site, such as hosting providers and PayPal for payment processing, and only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services. Information you choose to make public on your profile or in your uploaded content will be visible to other users. We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of GunTube, our users, or others.

Where do we store and process personal data

Your data is stored and processed on servers located within the United States and operated by us or by our U.S.-based hosting providers. GunTube is intended for use by residents of the United States only, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals located outside the United States.

How do we secure personal data

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including password hashing and restricted access to account and payment information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

How long we keep personal data stored for

We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active, or as needed to provide you with our services. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, except where we are required to retain certain information to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.

Your rights in relation to personal data

You may contact us at any time to access, correct, update, or request deletion of the personal data associated with your account. Because GunTube operates exclusively for a United States audience under U.S. law, this policy does not incorporate the rights or mechanisms created by foreign privacy regimes (such as the EU/UK GDPR) or by state-specific statutes we do not consent to be bound by, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). GunTube does not knowingly market to, or intend to serve, residents of California, and does not recognize CCPA/CPRA-specific rights requests. To exercise any of the rights described above, please contact us using the details below.

Use of automated decision-making and profiling

We may use automated processes, such as content recommendation features, to help surface videos and content that may be relevant to you based on your activity on the site. These processes do not produce legal or similarly significant effects on you, and we do not use automated decision-making to make decisions about your account without the ability for human review upon request.

Contacting us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal data, please contact us at support@guntube.org for account or account-security related matters, or info@guntube.org for general inquiries.
