PRIVACY POLICY
SOCIAL LOGIN
When you use social login:
If you sign into your social network account using the same email that you previously used to register for an account with us, you will access your existing account with us.
If you sign into your social network account using an email address that we don’t recognise in our systems, a new account will be created in our systems for you.
You may use social login or regular sign in each time you login into your account with us. If you use regular sign in but a password has not been issued to you (because you registered through social login) you need to get a password through the password reset flow.
When you use social login the "keep me signed in" policies of the social network provider apply. We do not control those policies. For your safety we recommend that you:
Don’t use social login if you are accessing our Services using a public or shared device
Visit your social network provider site to learn about their sign in policies and your options

If you use our tools to send content to a friend, Gun Africa doesn’t permanently store your friends’ addresses or use or disclose them for marketing purposes. To report spam from other users, please contact us.
