If GOC get compromised, and the database get loose, it will be pricey for thieves to have nominative information about PAL owners ! [and btw, criminals gives as much frack about Privacy Policies than other criminals do about "gun free zone".]

edit: there seem to be an awful lot of exploit in vBulletin v4.2.0 (SQL injection, XSS, ...). I wonder to which extend GOC admins are up to date with regards to upstream patches...

I'll tell you the Same thing I told the guy that asked for only an Email to enter and the other guy that asked to enter without a PAL, and got mad when i said no.

AS PER THE RULES:

2.7 Gun Owners of Canada Inc. will use the entrant's Personal Information only for identified purposes, and protect the entrant's Personal Information in a manner that is consistent with the Gun Owners of Canada Inc. Privacy Policy at: http://www.gunownersofcanada.ca/faq....=terms#faq_pol . The personal information provided to enter the Contest will be used only to administer the Contest, and for no other reason.

We will not Disclose the method of protect, All you need to know is that it is secure.

And if thats not good enough, then I have two pieces of Advice.

1. Don't Enter, if your worried about your personal information, but if you have an email or online account anywhere you already have. And be more worried about protect of your wallet then your online information, with a share phone I can get everything including your sin number in less then 1 second. I don't force you to Enter into a FREE firearm giveaway at MY Cost.

2. Start your own contest, Pay for the product yourself, and create your own rules for entering. Make sure they are within the Law and have fun. I don't have to spend a budgeted amount a year on contests, I could instead just pocket the money. I would be alot richer and would not have to deal with the headache of hearing people that think I owe them something even though they get free use of the site and free entries into the contests.
