Overview
Auction Platform Directory is a global directory for auction houses and platforms. This policy explains what information we collect when you use the directory or submit a platform for review, and how we use that information.
Information we collect
When you submit a platform, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, business name, email address, phone number, website, location, and listing details. We also receive limited technical information such as your IP address to protect the site from spam, fraud, and unauthorized access.
How we use information
We use submitted information to review and publish directory listings, communicate about a submission, operate and secure the service, and understand how the site is used. Publicly approved listing details are displayed in the directory.
Analytics and service providers
If enabled by the site operator, analytics services may collect usage data through cookies or similar technologies. These providers process data under their own privacy policies. You can control many cookies through your browser settings.
Retention and sharing
We retain information for as long as needed to operate the directory, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We do not sell personal information. We may share it with service providers that help run the site, or when required by law or necessary to protect the service and its users.
Your choices
You may ask to access, correct, update, or remove personal information connected to a submission or listing. Contact the site operator using the contact details shown on the relevant listing or the directory’s published support channel.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the directory evolves. The latest version will always be posted on this page with its effective date.
