Information We Collect from You

In general, we receive and collect all information you provide via the Services and create an account, including through website input fields (including advertisements), phone, email (including email campaigns), web chat, or in other such ways. This includes personal information that can identify or relates to you, including but not limited to your first and last name, username, telephone number, gender identity, date of birth, sexual preference, photographs, family status, credit card (or login information for other payment account methods such as PayPal or Venmo), employer, job title, school(s) attended, interests, login information and friends lists from your social media accounts that you connect to you BidBid™ App account (including without limitation Facebook) (“Social Accounts”) and IP, postal, and email addresses. You have the choice on what information to share and the services you want to engage. You can choose not to provide information to us, but in general some information about you is required in order for you to access certain functionality of the Services, such as those mentioned above or for tracking your preferences, subscribing to a newsletter, or initiating other such actions.

In connection with your account registration, you will be required to create a password. Once you register your account, you will be able to review and change this information at any time by accessing your “Profile” page. Through your “Profile,” you control your user profile and are able to correct or update your information at any time by just logging into the Services; provided, however that you will not be able to change your email address, mobile number, date of birth, gender and location (which is automatically updated)).

We may request access or permission to certain features from your mobile device, including without limitation your mobile device’s camera, social media accounts, storage, and other features. If you wish to change our access or permissions, you may do so in your device’s settings.

We may request to send you push notifications regarding your account or the mobile application. If you wish to opt-out from receiving these types of communications, you may turn them off in your device’s settings.

We also may periodically obtain information about you from affiliated entities, partners and other independent third-party sources and will add it to our database of information. For example, we may receive information about your interaction with advertisements on third party websites, including updated postal addresses and demographic information.

We may use cookies, log files, web beacons, device identifiers, advertising identifiers and similar tracking technologies, including those from third-party service providers like Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, and other cloud-based tools, to automatically collect your preferences, performance data, and information about your web usage when you visit the Services. For example, we may collect your IP address, device and Internet service provider information, Web browser details and the address of any referring website. If you enable location services when you use your cell phone, this may include collecting geolocation signals from your IP address or device settings to determine your location so that we may operate and personalize the Services for you, including to provide more relevant ads and search results. In addition, this information helps us identify your physical location and we may use it to personalize the Services and make it easier for you to interact with other users, by enabling the information to be displayed and shared with other members choosing to view “nearby” posts. We may also collect information about your online activity, such as pages viewed and interactions with other users. The Services are not designed to recognize or respond to “do not track” signals received from browsers. You can control the information collected by such tracking technologies or be alerted when cookies are sent by adjusting the settings on your Internet browser or devices, but such adjustments may affect or disable certain functionality of the Services. You can learn more about Google Analytics and your options for opting out of interest-based Google ads at https://adssettings.google.com. You can learn more about targeted ads and your ability to opt out of receiving interest-based ads at optout.aboutads.info and www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

How We Use Your Information

We process your personal information with your consent or as needed to provide you Services. We may also use your personal information to comply with legal obligations, operate our business, protect the vital interests of you, our customers, or the public, or for other legitimate interests of BidBid™ App as described in this Privacy Policy.

More specifically, we may use your personal information to:

To facilitate account creation and logon process – If you choose to link your account with us to a third party account (such as your Apple or Social Accounts), we use the information you allowed us to collect from those third parties to facilitate account creation and logon process for the performance of the contract. See the subsection below titled “How do we handle your social logins” for further information. We may use and store this information in aggregated and anonymized form so that it is not associated with individual users and does not include personal information.
Optimize and improve the Services – We continually try to improve the Services based on the information and feedback we receive from you, including by optimizing the content on the Services.
Personalize the user experience – We may use your information to measure engagement with the Services, and to understand how you and our other users interact with and use the Services and other resources we provide.
Improve customer service – Your information helps us to more effectively develop the Services and respond to your support needs.
Process transactions – We may use the information you provide about yourself to fulfill your requests and product orders. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to provide the Services, fulfill orders, and related activities.
To send periodic emails – The email address you provide through our contact forms, will be used to send information and updates pertaining to the Services. It may also be used to respond to your inquiries or other requests. If you opt in to our mailing list, you may receive emails that include BidBid™ App news, updates, related product offerings and service information, and marketing material. If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email or you may contact us via the contact information below.

How do we handle your social logins

Our Services offer you the ability to register and login using your Social Account. Where you choose to do this, we will receive certain profile information about you from your social media provider and your profile with us will be available to all of our users whether via our Services or our partners’ websites. The profile Information we receive may vary depending on the social media provider concerned, but will often include your name, e-mail address, friends list, profile picture as well as other information you choose to make public.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes that are described in this Privacy Policy or that are otherwise made clear to you through the Services. Please note that we do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by your third party social media provider. We recommend that you review their privacy policy to understand how they collect, use and share your personal information, and how you can set your privacy preferences on their sites and mobile applications.

If you have registered on one of these third party websites, or you have verified your account via a third party website, we may connect your profile with us with your profile on such website. We may do this by way of new products and applications which we introduce from time to time.

How We Share Your Information

We share your information with our partners, service providers, contractors, agents and third party vendors as needed to fulfill Services. Please note that our partners may contact you as necessary to obtain additional information about you, facilitate any use of the Services, fulfill bids, or respond to a request you submit.

Third-party vendors who provide product, services or functions on our behalf may include business analytics companies, customer service vendors, communications service vendors, marketing vendors, payment processing vendors, and security vendors. We may also authorize third-party vendors to collect information on our behalf, including as necessary to operate features of the Services, facilitate payment, or provide online advertising tailored to your interests. Third-party vendors have access to and may collect personal information only as needed to perform their functions, may only use personal information consistent with this Privacy Policy and other appropriate confidentiality and security measures, and are not permitted to share or use the information for any other purpose.

When you place an bid through our Services online, your personal details and credit card information are encrypted using SSL encryption technology before being sent over the Internet. Although we cannot guarantee encryption or the privacy of your personal details, SSL makes it very difficult for your information to be stolen or intercepted while being transferred. Our credit card transactions are processed by Braintree. All information sent to Braintree is in the secure SSL environment, which will protect it against disclosure to third parties. When we receive your bid, it is on an SSL server. For Braintree’s privacy statement, please see https://www.braintreepayments.com/legal/braintree-privacy-policy.

When we believe it is appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities; to protect and defend the rights, interests, or safety of our company or the Services, our customers, or others; or in connection with our Terms of Service and other agreements.
In connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy.

When you post a message in a BidBid App forum, chat room, review, or customer feedback, the information you post may be accessible to other users of the Services and the public. If you post personal information anywhere on the Services that is accessible to other users or the public, you are advised that such personal information can be read, collected, used, or disseminated by others and could be used to send you unsolicited information or for other purposes. Accordingly, you assume full responsibility for posting such information and agree that BidBid App is not responsible in any way for personal information you choose to post in these public areas.

Aggregated Information. We may publish, share, distribute, or disclose personal information that has been aggregated with information from other users or otherwise de-identified in a manner that does not allow such data about you to be separated from the aggregate data and identified as originating from you, to third parties, including BidBid™ App partners, sponsors, and advertisers. Such information may help BidBid™ App identify and analyze training, demographic, and psychographic trends and information, and report to third parties how many people saw, visited, or clicked on certain content, areas of the Services, ads, or other materials. We may also use such data for research purposes.

How We Store and Secure Your Information

Personal information collected by BidBid™ App may be stored and processed in your region, in the United States, and in any other country where BidBid™ App or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers operate facilities.
