Privacy Policy – Gibson Auction Services LLC
Effective Date: January 5, 2025
Gibson Auction Services LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your personal information when you access our website, register for auctions, place bids, make purchases, or otherwise interact with our services.
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including your name, billing and shipping address, phone number, email address, and any other information submitted when creating an account, registering for auctions, subscribing to communications, or contacting us. Payment information is processed securely through third-party payment processors such as Stripe, and we do not store full payment card details on our servers.
We may also automatically collect certain information when you use our website, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and browsing behavior. This data is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies to support website functionality, improve user experience, and analyze site performance.
In some cases, we may receive information from third parties, including payment verification details from our payment processors and publicly available information used to verify identity or prevent fraud.
We use the information we collect to operate and improve our services, including facilitating auction registrations and bidding, processing payments, communicating with you regarding transactions or customer support, sending updates or marketing communications (where permitted), analyzing usage trends, enforcing our Terms and Conditions, and complying with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information. However, we may share your information with trusted third-party service providers as necessary to operate our business, including payment processors and website service providers. We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, subpoena, or governmental request, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, sale, or transfer of assets.
We implement commercially reasonable and industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable legal requirements. You may also opt out of receiving marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link included in those communications. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, which you may adjust if desired.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, policies, or content of those external sites, and you should review their policies independently.
Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 21, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
If you access our services from outside the United States, you understand and agree that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised Effective Date.
