Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account at 765auction.com, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address. We also collect information about your activity on the platform, including bids placed, auctions viewed, items won, and payment history.

Payment card information is processed by our payment processor (Stripe) and is never stored on our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Operate your account and process your bids and purchases
• Generate and deliver invoices
• Send transactional notifications about your bidding activity
• Send optional SMS notifications if you opt in (see Section 3)
• Prevent fraud and enforce our Terms of Service
• Comply with legal obligations, including tax reporting

3. SMS Text Messaging

SMS notifications are optional and disabled by default. If you provide your mobile phone number and enable SMS notifications in your account settings, we will send you automated text messages about your bidding activity, such as outbid alerts, win confirmations, auction reminders, and payment reminders. Message frequency varies based on your bidding activity. Message and data rates may apply.

You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message or by disabling SMS notifications in your account settings. Reply HELP for help.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers necessary to operate the platform (payment processing, email delivery, SMS delivery, and hosting), and when required by law.

5. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data using commercially reasonable safeguards.

6. Data Retention

We retain account and transaction records as long as your account is active and as required for legal, tax, and audit purposes. You may request deletion of your account by contacting us; some records may be retained where required by law.

7. Cookies

We use cookies necessary for the operation of the Service, such as keeping you signed in. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
