Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Central Florida Auction ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to our website and our auction services.

2. Information We Collect

• Contact information — such as your name, phone number, email address, and mailing address — provided when you register to bid, whether on our website or on third-party auction platforms such as HiBid and ProxiBid
• Bidding and transaction information — including bids placed, items purchased, and payment- and pickup-related details
• Communications — records of calls, texts, and emails you exchange with us
• Technical information — such as device and browser information collected automatically when you visit our website

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to:

• Process your registration, bids, purchases, and item pickup
• Communicate with you about auctions and transactions
• Send marketing messages — only if you affirmatively opt in by checking our consent checkbox (providing your contact information alone does not enroll you)
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

4. Text Messages and Calls

We do not send marketing text messages or make marketing calls using an automatic dialing system or prerecorded voice without your express consent, obtained through an unchecked opt-in checkbox presented where your phone number is entered. You may opt out at any time, as described in our Terms of Service.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed:

• With auction platforms (such as HiBid and ProxiBid) to operate bidding and related services
• With service providers that help us run our business, under confidentiality obligations
• When required by law, court order, or to protect our rights

6. Data Retention and Security

We keep your personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy and to meet our legal obligations. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect it, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

7. Your Choices and Rights

You may:

• Opt out of marketing texts by replying STOP, marketing calls by asking to be placed on our Do Not Call list, and marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link
• Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us using the details below
• Choose not to provide certain information, understanding that some information is required to register and bid

If you are a Florida resident, you may also have rights under applicable Florida privacy law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Third-Party Websites

Our website links to third-party auction platforms. This policy does not apply to those sites; we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are effective when posted on this page, and the version number and date above will be updated.
