The

Information is gathered from the Sites by us, our service
providers, advertisers, sponsors and partners.
Information You Provide.We may collect
information that you choose to provide on the Site in a variety of ways, which
may include your name, address, telephone number, location, email address,
dealer or company name, AuctionACCESS number(s), the last four digits of your
social security number or other valid government-issued identification number
and bank account, payment and other financial information, such as when you:
1. Register
for one of our products or services;
2. Download
or use one of our applications;
3. Provide
payment information or authorize electronic ACH transfers or other payments;
4. Make
information available to us via social networking logins;
5. Participate
in chats, web forums or other interactive sessions;
6. Subscribe
to newsletters or provide feedback; and
7. Participate
in surveys, sweepstakes or other promotions.
Automated Information.Information
regarding your use of the Sites may be collected and/or aggregated through the
use of automated means. This automatically collected information may include
information such as:
1. Your
IP address, the type of browser, and operating system used;
2. Date
and time you access the Sites and pages you visit, and if you linked from or to
another website, the address of that website;
3. Emails
you open and links you click on within those emails;
4. Your
location; and
5. Your
ISP or mobile carrier, and the type of handheld or mobile device that you used.
Data Technologies.Various technologies
are used to automatically collect information, such as cookies, pixels, local
shared objects, and web beacons (generally referred to as “Data Technologies.”)
“Cookies” are small identifiers sent from a web server that are stored on your
device for the purpose of identifying your browser or storing information or
settings in your browser. “Local shared objects,” sometimes known as Flash
cookies, may be used to store your preferences or display content based upon
what you have viewed on various websites to personalize your visit. A “web
beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages
to web servers and their cookies. Anonymous advertising identifiers are
increasingly being used on mobile devices and otherwise in a manner similar to
cookies. When we refer to Data Technologies, we are including all current and
similar future technologies.
One or more Data Technologies may be used on the Sites and other
websites and mobile applications (that may not be the Sites) by us, by another
party on our behalf, or by third parties in accordance with their privacy
policies. Data Technologies may be used by us and others, on our behalf and on
their own behalf, to transmit information to you or about you and connect
information about you from different sources, websites, devices, and mobile
applications.
We may use a uniquely generated trackable toll-free telephone
number on the Sites or in advertisements. If you call one of these uniquely
generated toll-free numbers, we (or a service provider acting on our behalf)
may collect non-personally identifiable information about the call (e.g., date,
time, duration), as well as personally identifiable information (e.g., your
name, the number from which your call originated).
Biometric Information. Some of our
applications and Sites are accessible by devices that have the capability of
using biometric access credentials, such as a fingerprint, thumbprint, or face
scan. We do not actually receive, collect, use, or store any this biometric
information from your device.
Camera
Information. Some of our applications require that you use your device’s
camera. If so, you must activate the settings on your device. We may collect photos
and other data when your camera is used in connection with our Sites or
Services.
Location Information.We may collect
GPS and physical location information that is sufficiently precise to allow us
to locate a specific person or device (“Location Information”). We only collect
Location Information with your consent (e.g., such as when you agree to use or
download an application or use a Site). We may use Location Information and
provide it to shippers (if applicable), and/or to third parties to provide you
with content and services that are relevant to a particular location, such as
advertising, search results, auctions in the area, and directions.
Publicly Posted Information.Information
that you make available to us and others via social media networks, forums,
blogs, list serves, chat rooms or similar functionality is public information
that we or others may share or use in accordance with the law.
Combined Information and Information from Other Sources.We
may combine information that you provide to us with information we receive from
our affiliates and other sources, as well as with other information that is
automatically collected. The combined information may include information about
your use of the Sites, your use of other websites, devices and mobile
applications and information from our affiliates and other sources.
How
We May Use the Information We Collect
We may use information we collect for the following purposes:
-
For
everyday business purposes, such as establishing and managing your user
account, providing products and services you request, and providing customer
support; - To
offer our other products or services and/or the products or services of others
to you; - To communicate about, and administer your participation in, special events, programs, surveys, contests, sweepstakes and other offers or promotions;
- To enable you to interact with the Sites and our users, dealers, and others through various means, such as through our message boards, blogs and social media;
- To evaluate and improve our business, including developing new products and services and analyzing the effectiveness of products, services, applications and websites;
- To diagnose and address technical and service problems;
- To perform data analyses, including market and consumer research, trend analysis, demographic analysis and financial analysis;
- To deliver content (including advertising) correlating to your interests and browsing and usage history, both within the Sites and on other websites and applications;
- To comply with applicable legal requirements and our policies
- To provide vehicle sale and location information, transaction data and other information and material to third parties directly involved in vehicle sales, transportation, or logistics;
- To help sellers understand buyers’ preferences for inventory and services; and
- To contact you via telephone, text or chat (and by using the Site and agreeing to the Terms of Use, you agree to be contacted by Central Dispatch by telephone, text or chat at any number or other contact information that you may provide or make available on or through the Site).
Applications, Widgets and Social Media
We may include applications or widgets from social media
providers that allow interaction or content sharing by their users. These
widgets, such as a Facebook “Share” or “Like” button, are visible to you on the
web page you visit. Integration between the Sites and social media networks may
allow social media networks in which you participate to collect information
about you, even when you do not explicitly activate the network’s application
or widget. Please visit the applicable social media network’s privacy policy to
better understand their data collection practices and choices they make
available to you.The privacy policy of the social media network controls
the collection, use and disclosure of all personal information transmitted to
that network.
Advertising Networks
Advertising that is customized based on predictions generated
over time from your visits across different websites, devices and mobile
applications is sometimes called “online behavioral” or “interest-based”
advertising. We may partner with advertising networks, which are companies that
deliver targeted advertisements to consumers and generate statistics and
metrics related to the delivery of interest-based advertisements. They may
utilize information collected through a variety of Data Technologies to provide
customization, auditing, research and reporting for us, our affiliates and
other advertisers. This data collection takes place both on the Sites and on
third-party’s websites and mobile applications. This process allows the Sites
and third parties to deliver targeted advertising, enhance marketing programs
and help track the effectiveness of such efforts. Our advertising networks also
may use this information for determining or predicting the characteristics and
preferences of their respective advertising audiences and measuring the
effectiveness of their advertising in accordance with their privacy policies.
We do not provide information that is directly associated with a
specific person (such as name and address) to an advertising network when you
interact with or view a customized advertisement. However, when you view or
interact with an advertisement, the advertiser may make an assumption that you
are interested in the subject matter of the advertisement.
Some companies disclose when they are using interest-based
advertising programs on the Sites to deliver third-party ads or collecting
information about your visit for these purposes and give you the ability to
opt-out of this use of your information. You may see an icon in or around
third-party advertisements on the Sites that use interest-based advertising
programs and on pages where data is collected and used for online
interest-based advertising. Clicking on this icon will provide additional
information about the companies and data practices that were used to deliver
the ad. You can opt out of delivery of targeted advertising to you by multiple
companies by visiting
www.aboutads.info/choices
,
www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp
and
www.ghosteryenterprise.com
.
Please note that even if you opt out, you will continue to receive
advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your specific interests.

collect or receive, except as described below:
