Privacy Policy
Effective: March 2026. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Account Information: Name, email address, and contact details provided when you register or express interest in a territory.
- Transaction Data: Bid amounts, auction outcomes, payment confirmations, and territory assignment details processed through eBay.
- Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on the platform, browser type, device information, and IP address collected automatically through standard web technologies.
- Communications: Messages, emails, and support requests you send to our team.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Process territory auctions and manage your territory license
- Communicate with you about your account, bids, and territory status
- Improve the platform, analyze usage patterns, and develop new features
- Enforce our Terms of Use and protect the integrity of the network
- Send relevant updates about new territories, features, or network announcements
3. eBay Transaction Data
Territory auctions are conducted on eBay. When you place a bid or win an auction, eBay processes the transaction and shares limited information with us to fulfill the territory license. This may include your eBay username, shipping address (if applicable), and payment confirmation status.
We do not have access to your full payment details (credit card numbers, bank accounts). All payment processing is handled by eBay and its payment partners. Please review eBay's Privacy Policy for details on how they handle your data.
4. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, analyze site traffic, and improve your experience. You can control cookie settings through your browser. Disabling cookies may limit certain platform functionality.
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Plausible or similar privacy-focused tools) to understand how visitors interact with the platform. These services collect anonymized usage data and do not track you across other websites.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you request account deletion, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (such as resolving disputes or enforcing agreements).
Auction history and territory assignment records may be retained indefinitely for network integrity and historical reference purposes.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Opt out of marketing communications at any time
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address listed below. We will respond to requests within 30 days.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the platform or by email. The "Effective" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
