The Information We Collect
When you visit our Service we may collect information regarding your visit
from your computer. Such information helps us to determine information
about how you found our Service, the date that you visited our Service and
search engines that may have led you to our Service. We collect this
information in order to continually improve and enhance the functionality
of the Service.
Generally, you may provide us with two types of information, User Content,
which may include Personally Identifiable Information, and Website Usage
Information, both of which are discussed in greater detail below.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide.
a. Sign-Up Information and Profile. We’ll ask you to provide
certain information if you choose to register with our Service as a Member,
including your name, email address, your date of birth, address, telephone
number, and other information which identifies you (collectively
“Personally Identifiable Information”).
Do not supply to us or disclose on the Service any Personally Identifiable
Information of any person under 13 years of age, as we do not intend to
collect information from anyone under 13 or invite to them to participate
in the Service. If you are over 13 years of age but under 18 years of age,
you are only able to utilize the Service under the supervision of a parent
or legal guardian, and we may require the collection of Personally
Identifiable Information from your parent (including the parent’s full
name, email address, and credit card billing information, including mailing
address) for you to acquire a paid Membership Account. If you are over 13
years of age but under 18 years of age, the Service does not condition your
participation in an online activity on you providing more information than
is reasonably necessary for that activity.
b. User Content. Our Service may offer its users to the
opportunity to post User Content, comments, reviews, and tag messages via
bulletin boards, blogs, articles, and chat rooms. If you choose to use
these features, you should be aware that any Personally Identifiable
Information you submit through these features can be read, collected, or
used by other viewers and could be used to send you unsolicited messages.
We are not responsible for the Personally Identifiable Information you
choose to submit in these forums.
c. Questionnaires and Surveys. We may occasionally ask users of
our Service to complete online surveys, questionnaires, and opinion polls
about their activities, attitudes, interests and auctions they have
participated in. These surveys help us to better serve you and improve the
usefulness and features of the Service. In requesting your participation in
these surveys we may ask you to provide your name and email address to us.
d. Contact Us. If you email us through the contact us link on our
Service or via our Company information email address at info@juliensauctions.com, we
may ask you for information such as your name and email address so we can
respond to your questions and comments. If you choose to correspond with us
via email, we may retain the content of your email messages, your email
address and our response to you. In certain cases, and with your
permission, we may post content from your emails to us on the Service.
2. Website Usage Information.
a. Cookies. The Service may use cookies to collect information for
record keeping purposes and make it easier to navigate the Service. Cookies
are small text files that are stored on users’ hard drives, which often
include an anonymous unique identifier. The Service uses both “session ID
cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session ID cookies are used to store
information while a user is logged into the site and expire when the user
closes their browser. Persistent cookies are used to make tasks like
logging into the site easier for returning users by remembering a user’s
login information, and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to
the Website. Persistent cookies stay on a user’s hard drive from one
session to the next. Persistent cookies can be removed by following your
web browser’s directions. A session cookie is temporary and disappears
after you close your browser.
When you visit our Website, our computer may ask your computer for
permission to employ the use of a session or persistent cookie. Our Website
will then send a cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow
it.
Most web browsers can be adjusted to inform you when a cookie has been sent
to you and provide you with the opportunity to refuse that cookie. However,
refusing a cookie may, in some cases, preclude you from using, or
negatively impact the display or function of, our Website or certain areas
or features of our Website. You may choose not to receive cookies from the
Service by following instructions in your web browser’s “help” file, but
this may make certain features of the Services inaccessible to you.
b. Clear GIFs/Beacons. When visiting our Website, we may also use
“Clear GIFs” (aka “web beacons” or “pixel tags”) or similar technologies in
our Website and/or in our communications with you. A Clear GIF is typically
a one-pixel, transparent image located on a web page or in an e-mail or
other type of message, which helps us to verify an individual’s viewing or
receipt of a web page or message. Clear GIFs allow us to know whether you
have viewed a web page prior to visiting our Website and may enable us to
relate such information to other information, including your Personally
Identifiable Information. We use information provided from Clear GIFs to
enable more accurate reporting, improve the effectiveness of our marketing,
and make our Service better for our users.
c. IP Address and Clickstream Data. Our servers automatically
collect data about your Internet Protocol address when you visit us. When
you request pages from our Website, our servers may log your IP Address and
sometimes your domain name. Our server may also record the referring page
that linked you to us (e.g., another website or a search engine); the pages
you visit on this Website; the website you visit after this Website; other
information about the type of web browser, computer, platform, related
software and settings you are using; any search terms you have entered on
this Website or a referral website; and other web usage activity and data
logged by our web servers. We use this information for internal system
administration, to help diagnose problems with our servers, to analyze
general usage patterns, and to administer our Website. Such information may
also be used to gather broad demographic information, such as country of
origin and Internet Service Provider. We may aggregate user information in
a non-personally identifiable manner to share with advertisers, to enhance
the Website with new features, and for our general business purposes.
Any or all of these activities with regard to the above-described
Website Usage Information may be performed on our behalf by our
third-party service providers.
How We Use Your Information
1. Personal Information.
If you submit information to us through the Service, including registration
and profile information, then we use this information to operate, maintain,
and provide the features and functionality of the Service. We will use your
email address to complete the signup process. By providing your email
address to Julien’s Auctions, you consent to our using the email address to
send you Service-related notices, including among other things notices
required by law, in lieu of postal mail. You may not opt out of
Service-related e-mails. We may also use your email address to send you
other messages, including changes to Service features and special offers.
2. Website Usage Information.
We use non-Personally Identifiable Information, such as anonymous Website
use data and IP addresses, to improve the quality and design of the Website
and to create new features and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing
your preferences and trends. We may use such information to: (a) remember
information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your current or
subsequent visits to the Website; (b) provide customized content and
information; (c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and
aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors and traffic; (d)
diagnose or fix technology problems; (e) access your information after you
sign in; (f) market our Website to advertisers and other third parties; (g)
aggregate general User and Member statistics including demographic and
geographic information; and (h) other purposes for which your personal
identity is not revealed.
3. Location-Based Services. We collect location-based information
in order to provide the specific location-based services which you request.
You understand that certain location-based services require a location to
function properly and your use of our Application on your mobile device
with such features enabled signifies your agreement to use your location
for the purposes of the Service.
When We Share Information
Julien’s Auctions will not share your email address with advertisers or
unaffiliated third parties without first obtaining your express permission.
We may provide information, including personal information, to our
subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or subcontractors, so such parties can,
among other things (a) perform services and/or process such information on
our behalf, (b) use the information to offer greater functionality and
enhanced services through the Website, and provide you with additional
product and service opportunities, and (c) communicate these opportunities
to you. When we do this, the recipients of your information are bound by
the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We may share non-Personally Identifiable Information (such as anonymous
Website usage data) with third-parties to assist them in understanding our
Service, including Users’ use of our Service and the services we provide
and the success of advertisements and promotions.
We may share non-personally identifiable aggregated user data, such as
aggregated gender, age, geographic, and usage data (without the inclusion
of a user’s name or other identifying information) to advertisers and other
third parties for their marketing and promotional purposes.
We may use analytics services provided by third parties that use cookies
and other similar technologies to collect information about the Website or
an application without identifying individual visitors. The third parties
that provide us with these services may also collect information about your
use of third-party websites.
We may share location-based information with third parties for their
marketing and promotional purposes if you have allowed location-based
services.
We may release your information if required to do so by law, or in the
good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state or
federal laws or respond to a court order, subpoena, law enforcement or
regulatory request, or search warrant. We reserve the right to collect and
share any information: (i) in order to investigate, prevent, or take action
regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (ii) as appropriate or
necessary to enforce our Terms of Use or investigate potential or actual
violations of the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy; (iii) take precautions
against liability; (iv) to protect the security or integrity of our
Website; (v) to exercise or protect our rights and property, the Website,
or the rights and personal safety of Julien’s Auctions affiliates, Users or
others; or (vi) for other legitimate purposes.
We may assign or transfer the information we collect to a third party in
the event that Julien’s Auctions is acquired by or merged with a third
party entity, or due to our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, or similar situation. We reserve the right to transfer any
information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a
portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we
will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use personal
information you have provided through this Website in a manner that is
consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Rights to Opt-In / Opt-out
You have the right to “opt in” and/or “opt out” of certain of our uses of your Personally Identifiable Information. For example, you may have the opportunity to elect whether you would like to receive correspondence from us and/or third party service providers. Your personal information will not
be shared with third party service providers unless consent is given by
you. You will have the opportunity to opt out of our promotional e-mails by
clicking the “opt out” or “unsubscribe” link in the e-mail you receive. You
can also request this by sending an e-mail to info@juliensauctions.com
specifying whether: (i) you would like to opt out of receiving promotional
correspondence from Julien’s Auctions in general, or just via e-mail,
postal mail and/or by phone, and/or whether (ii) you would only like to opt
out of certain of our e-newsletters or correspondence. Please understand
that if you opt out of receiving promotional correspondence from us, we may
still contact you in connection with your relationship, activities,
transactions and communications with us.
Our Commitment to Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important and is
mandated by U.S. law. For these reasons, Julien’s Auctions does not
knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information on the Service from
persons under 13 years of age, and no part of our Service is directed to
persons under 13. If you are under 13 years of age, then you must not use
or access the Service at any time or in any manner or provide any
information to the Service. If we become aware that we have inadvertently
received personal information from a visitor under the age of 13 on our
Service, we will delete the information from our records.
YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE OVER THE AGE OF 13, AS THE WEBSITE IS NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13 WHO ARE UNACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN.
Parents should be aware that while this Privacy Policy will govern our use
of Personally Identifiable Information, information posted on bulletin
boards, online forums or the like (“User Content”) may be used by other
parties to generate unsolicited communications. Please reference our Terms of Use for additional details regarding User Content. Julien’s
Auctions encourages all parents to instruct their children in the safe and
responsible use of their Personally Identifiable Information while using
the Internet.
Rights to Access and Control Your Data
You can access or delete your personal data. You have many choices about
how your data is collected, used and shared.
For personal data that we have about you, you can:
-
Delete Data: You can ask us to erase or delete all or some of your
personal data (e.g., if it is no longer necessary to provide services to
you).
- Change or Correct Data: You can ask us to change, update or fix your data
in certain cases, particularly if it’s inaccurate.
- Object to, or Limit or Restrict, Use of Data: you can ask us to stop
using all or some of your personal data (e.g., if Julien’s Auctions has no
legal right to keep using it) or to limit our use of it (e.g., if your data
is inaccurate or unlawfully held).
- Right to Access and/or Take Your Data: You can ask us for a copy of your
personal data and can ask for a copy of the personal data you provided in
machine readable form.

Residents in Designated Countries may have additional rights under the laws
of those countries.
Retention Period
Julien’s Auctions has a variety of obligations to retain the data that you
provide to us, both to ensure that transactions can be appropriately
processed, and also to comply with laws applicable to us and to our banking
providers and credit card processors. Accordingly, even if you close your
account we will retain certain information as necessary to meet our legal
obligations and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.
We retain your Personally Identifiable Information even after you have
closed your account if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal
obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory
requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse,
enforce our Terms of Use, or fulfill your request to “unsubscribe” from us. We will retain de-personalized information after your account has been
closed.
Information you have shared with others (e.g. comments, posted reviews,
group posts) will remain visible after you closed your account or deleted
the information from your own profile, and we do not control the data that
other Account holders copied out of our Service. User Content associated
with closed accounts will show an unknown user as the source.
International Users
The Service is hosted in the United States and is intended for and directed
to Users in the United States. The Service is void where prohibited. If you
are accessing the Service from outside the United States, your use of the
Service is governed by U.S. law, you are transferring your Personally
Identifiable Information to the United States, and you consent to that
transfer.
By providing Personally Identifiable Information to us through this
Service, you agree that it may be used by us and our Affiliated Parties for
the purposes described herein and you further understand and consent to the
collection, maintenance, processing and transfer of such information in and
to the United States and other countries and territories, which may have
different privacy laws from your country of residence and which may afford
varying levels of protection for your Personally Identifiable Information.
Regardless of the laws in place in these countries, we will treat the
privacy of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. By
providing your Personally Identifiable Information to this Service, you
consent to our transmission to, and processing of your information in, any
jurisdiction, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

This section of the Privacy Policy applies only if you use our Service from
a country that is a Member State of the European Union (“EU”), European
Economic Area (“EEA”) or Switzerland (the EU, EEA and Switzerland
collectively, “Designated Countries”), and supplements the information in
this Privacy Policy.
To the extent that Julien’s Auctions is subject to the laws of the
Designated Countries when processing personal data, it shall be the “data
controller” under such laws. We have lawful bases to collect your data, as
detailed in this Privacy Policy. The nature of our business means the
Personally Identifiable Information and Usage Information will be
transferred to the United States. We take appropriate steps to ensure that
recipients of your personal data are bound to duties of confidentiality and
we implement measures such as standard data protection contractual clauses
to ensure that any transferred personal data remains protected and secure.
You may request copies of these clauses by contacting info@juliensauctions.com. You
may lodge a complaint with the applicable supervisory authority if you
consider that our processing of your information violates applicable law.
Your Choices
We have lawful bases to collect, use and share data about you. You have
choices about the use of your data. We will only collect and process
Personally Identifiable Information about you where we have lawful bases.
Lawful bases include consent (where you have given consent), contract
(where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you
(e.g. to deliver the Julien’s Auctions services you have requested)) and
our legitimate interests, provided that such processing shall not outweigh
your rights and freedoms. Julien’s Auctions will seek to obtain your
additional consent where required by applicable law. At any time, you can
withdraw the consent you have provided by contacting us.
You may, of course, decline to submit Personally Identifiable Information
to the Service, in which case you may not be able to register or Julien’s
Auctions may not be able to provide certain services to you.

by using your account settings to edit, delete, update, or change the
Personally Identifiable Information you have provided to the Service. You

will respond to your request within 30 days. However, before we are able to
provide you with any information or correct any inaccuracies, we may ask
you to verify your identity and provide other details to help us to respond
to your request.
To protect your privacy and security, we take reasonable steps (such as
requesting a password) to verify your identity before granting you profile
access or making corrections. You are responsible for maintaining the
secrecy of your password and account information at all times.
You may decline to utilize location-based services on your mobile device.
If you do not want us to use location-based information, please refrain
from using a location-based service or click “Don’t Allow” when your mobile device requests your location-based information.
Online Tracking Disclosures -- “Do Not Track” Settings
You may be accessing the Website via a browser that has a “Do Not Track”
setting. Under AB 370 of CalOPPA, we are required to disclose our response
to a browser’s “do not track” signal. If you have turned this setting in
your browser on, or if you are using a browser with the default setting of
“Do Not Track”, please be advised that all features of the Website may not
function in such setting. As detailed above, we collect a variety of
functional and analytic cookies in order for you to completely engage with
our services.
If you wish to opt-out of the collection of tracking information you may do
so according to your browser settings; however, please be advised that such
an election may limit the functionality of the Website available to you.
Our Commitment To Data Security
We have implemented commercially reasonable technical and organizational
measures designed to secure your Personally Identifiable Information from
accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or
disclosure. Such measures include, but are not limited to, the utilization
of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to transmit sensitive information
through the Website. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third
parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal
information for improper purposes. You acknowledge that you provide your
Personally Identifiable Information at your own risk.
While Julien’s Auctions strives to protect the security and integrity of
Personally Identifiable Information on its Website, due to the inherent
nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle, we cannot
guarantee that your information, during transmission through the Internet
or while otherwise in our care, will be safe from intrusion of others. You
should also be aware that if you contact us by email or a “contact us” or similar feature on the Website, your transmission might not be secure. An
unaffiliated third party could view information you send by these methods
in transit. You should also be aware that if you are accessing the Service
via a mobile device, your transmissions may not be secure due to the
inherent nature of mobile data carrier networks. We will have no liability
for disclosure of your information due to errors or unauthorized acts of
third parties during or after transmission.
If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer
secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account with us
has been compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by
contacting us in accordance with the information provided in the
Introduction to this Privacy Policy.
Compromise of Personal Information
In the event that personal information is compromised as a result of a
breach of security, Julien’s Auctions will promptly notify those persons
whose personal information has been compromised, in accordance with the
notification procedures set forth in this Privacy Policy, or as otherwise
required by applicable law.
In the event the breach involves your online account credentials, we will
provide notification in electronic form and direct you to promptly change
your password and security question, as applicable, or to take other
appropriate steps to protect the online account as well as any other online
accounts for which you use the same credentials or security question and
answer.
You consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification. If
you would prefer us to use another method to notify you in this
situation, please e-mail us at
info@juliensauctions.com
with the alternative and/or additional contact information you would
like us to use.
Notification Procedures
It is our policy to provide notifications, whether such notifications are
required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to
Users via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous
posting of such notice on our Service, as determined by Julien’s Auctions
in its sole discretion. Julien’s Auctions reserves the right to determine
the form and means of providing notifications to our Users, provided that
you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this
Privacy Policy.

previously provided informed consent.
- Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer
expectations based on your relationship with us.

Exercising Access, Data Portability, and Deletion Rights:
Submitting a Verifiable Consumer Request
Who Can Submit a Verifiable Consumer Request
: Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State
that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer
request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a
verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
How to Submit a Verifiable Consumer Request
: To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described
above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by:
- Sending us a message on our Service; or
- By contacting us via the toll-free telephone number listed on our
Service.
What Your Verifiable Consumer Request Must Contain
: The verifiable consumer request must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you
are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an
authorized representative.
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly
understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information
if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and
confirm the Personal Information relates to you.
We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer
request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the
request.
Frequency of Submitting a Verifiable Consumer Request
: You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data
portability twice within a 12-month period.
Response Timing and Format
We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five
(45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to a total of 90
days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your
option.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding
the date of our receipt of the verifiable consumer request. The response we
provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if
applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to
provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow
you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without
hindrance, specifically by electronic mail communication.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer
request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we
determine that your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may
either: (a) tell you why we made that decision and refuse to respond to
your request, or (b) provide you with a cost estimate of reasonable fees
reflecting administrative costs involved before completing your request,
and if you still wish to proceed, collect such fees from you prior to
carrying out such request.
Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights
Julien’s Auctions does not sell your Personal Information. Accordingly, the
rights granted under the CCPA enabling users 16 years of age or older to
opt-out of sales of Personal Information, and for users between 13 and 16
years of age to specifically opt-in to sales of Personal Information, are
not applicable to Julien’s Auctions’ information processing activities.

rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

Deny you goods or services.

Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including
through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.

Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
