I am assuming if the bad people can intercept your emails they can intercept your calls, that's why I put tin foil over my phone 😉

No, becasue GT had none of my personal information, just an email address that does not link to the house.

I was similarly careful when registering with GT - nothing personally identifiable. Then I watched as an RFD entered ALL my details into their GunTrader sales\stock control system when I purchased a rifle. Wasn't impressed... :(

It was my understanding that if you were on their books your location was plotted by your IP address and a 'dot' kindly assigned to you by the hunt sabs who set it up, regardless of what personal information you didn't fill in. It might make you a little more difficult to pin point if you live in a heavily populated area but anyone with half a clue about surveillance, or even just a lot of experience being around people who shoot, could pick you out from others.
