Privacy Policy
Your data.
Handled properly.
This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it, and what rights you have over it. It's written in plain language — because transparency isn't a legal checkbox, it's how we operate.
Last updated: November 2026

Who
Collect
Section 02
What data we collect.
We only collect what's needed to run the marketplace — verify who you are, process payments, deliver assets, and keep the platform secure. Nothing more.
Identity Data
What we collect to verify you're who you say you are — required before you can bid.

- Health or medical information
- Political opinions or affiliations
- Biometric data (fingerprints, face scans)
Section 03
How we use your data.
Every use of your data has a clear legal basis under US and Florida law — a contract, a legal obligation, your consent, or our legitimate business interest. Here's what we use it for, and why we're allowed to.
To Perform Our Contract
Processing that's necessary to deliver the service you've asked for — registering your account, letting you bid, processing payments, and delivering assets.
- Creating and managing your account
- Processing bids and auction activity
- Processing payments and issuing invoices
- Coordinating delivery to your address
- Handling warranty claims and refunds
To Meet Legal Requirements
Processing we're required to do under US federal and Florida state law — identity verification, tax records, and accounting obligations.
- Identity verification (BSA / AML compliance)
- Tax and sales tax reporting
- Accounting and invoice retention
- Responding to lawful authority requests
- Fraud prevention and detection
To Run & Improve the Platform
Processing that supports our legitimate business interests — keeping the platform secure, improving how it works, and preventing abuse.
- Site security and abuse prevention
- Fraud and suspicious activity monitoring
- Improving site performance and usability
- Analytics on anonymised or aggregated data
- Legal claims and defence
When You've Opted In
Processing that only happens if you've given us explicit permission — and that you can withdraw at any time.
- Marketing emails and newsletters (CAN-SPAM compliant)
- Non-essential cookies (analytics)
- Auction alerts and outbid notifications (opt-in)
- Text messages (TCPA-compliant consent)
- Any future use clearly stated at opt-in
Use
Share
Section 04
Who we share data with.
We share data only with the parties needed to run the marketplace — never sold, never given to advertisers. Every recipient is bound by contract to protect your data.
Payment Providers
To process bank transfers, we share payment data with secure, verified financial institutions. We never see or store your full banking credentials.
Logistics Partners
To deliver assets to your location, we share your name, delivery address, and phone number with our transport partners.
IT & Hosting
Our website, auction platform, and email are hosted on US-based servers operated by contracted providers under written service-provider agreements.
Legal & Regulatory
Where required by law, we may share data with the IRS, the Florida Department of Revenue, law enforcement, or courts — always limited to what's legally required.
Professional Advisors
Our accountants, auditors, and legal advisors may access your data strictly where needed for compliance and professional advice.
What We Never Do
Some things we simply don't do — not with your data, not with anyone's.
Section 05
International data transfers.
We keep your data inside the United States wherever possible. Where a transfer outside the US is unavoidable, we make sure the recipient is bound by one of the safeguards below.
Where Data Is Stored
Our website, auction platform, and email infrastructure are hosted on servers located within the United States. Your data does not leave the US unless required for a specific purpose below.
When Transfers Happen
Transfers outside the United States can occur in two cases — and only in these two cases:
- Some service providers (e.g. cloud backup, international subcontractors) may process data outside the US
- International delivery or legal requirements may involve the recipient's jurisdiction
Approved Safeguards
Where data is transferred outside the United States, we rely on one of these safeguards:
- Written contracts — confidentiality and security obligations, enforceable in the US
- Vendor verification — reviewed for comparable data-protection practices
- Explicit consent — where you've specifically agreed to a transfer
Your Rights Over Transfers
You have the right to ask us about any transfer of your data outside the United States — including what safeguard applies.
- Request a copy of the safeguard we rely on
- Object to a transfer based on business interest
- Withdraw consent where consent was the basis
Transfers
Retention
Section 06
How long we keep data.
We keep your personal data only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected — or as required by law. After that, it's deleted or anonymised. Here's how long each category is retained.
No Longer Than Needed
Retention periods are the minimum required for the purpose — not arbitrary. If we can delete data sooner without breaking the law or leaving you exposed, we do.
Secure Deletion
When data reaches the end of its retention period, we delete it or irreversibly anonymise it. No dormant copies linger in backups beyond their own retention cycle.
Legal Holds
If data is needed for an active legal claim, dispute, or regulatory investigation, we may retain it beyond the standard period — only for as long as the matter is unresolved.
Your Right to Erasure
You can request deletion of your data at any time. Where no legal obligation prevents it, we'll erase your account and personal data within 30 days — see the next section for full rights.
Section 07
Your rights.
You have eight specific rights over your personal data — provided as a matter of company policy and, where applicable, under US state privacy laws. All of them are free to exercise, and we respond to every request within 30 days — usually much faster.
Note on legal basis: some rights below are also granted by specific state privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA in California, the Florida Digital Bill of Rights for qualifying entities). We extend them to all our customers regardless of legal requirement.
Right of Access
You can ask what personal data we hold about you, why we hold it, and who we share it with. We'll send a copy in a portable format within 30 days.
Right to Rectification
If any data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it. We'll update your records and confirm within 30 days.
Right to Erasure
Also known as the "right to be forgotten" (where applicable). You can request deletion of your personal data — subject to legal obligations (e.g. tax records) that require us to keep it.
Right to Restrict Processing
You can ask us to pause processing your data — for example while a dispute is being resolved, or if you believe the data is inaccurate. We'll keep it stored but stop using it.
Right to Data Portability
You can request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format (e.g. CSV or JSON) — useful if you want to transfer it to another service.
Right to Object
You can object to processing based on business interest or direct marketing — including profiling for marketing purposes. We'll stop unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons to continue.
Rights on Automated Decisions
You have the right not to be subject to a decision made solely by automated means — including profiling — that produces legal or similarly significant effects. We don't use such decisions for bidding or approval.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent — like marketing emails — you can withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal doesn't affect the lawfulness of processing that already took place.
Rights
Cookies
Section 08
Cookies & tracking.
Cookies help the site work and tell us what's useful. We only use non-essential cookies if you've opted in — and you can change your choice at any time.
Strictly Necessary
These cookies are essential for the site to work — logging in, keeping your session active, processing payments, and remembering your cookie consent. They can't be switched off.
Performance & Analytics
These help us understand how the site is used — which pages are visited, where users drop off, and what's working. Data is anonymised and aggregated before analysis.
Functionality
These remember your preferences — language, region, currency, and saved listings — so you don't have to re-set them each visit.
Marketing & Targeting
These track your activity across sites to show relevant ads. We don't currently run marketing cookies — but if we ever do, they'll be strictly opt-in.
Section 09
How to contact us.
Any question, request, or complaint about how we handle your personal data — reach us directly. We respond within 30 days as a matter of policy, and usually much faster.
