FVA Privacy Policy / Disclosure
Last updated August 4, 2021
Privacy matters. A LOT. We take protecting your data as important as our own. This website offers a private buy/sell network, and the information you share on this network is not made publicly visible. We cannot guarantee anonymity when using our site, but we feel we have provided each user with the tools necessary to protect their personal information and maintain privacy while using our services. You can share as much information as you want about yourself, but we do not force users to disclose their full names, email addresses or any other personal information to other users. This is not a legally binding part of our privacy policy, just an honest attempt to summarize our stance on privacy and what we want to offer our customers. Read on for the full terms…

Cookies and Online Tracking Technologies
Fair Value Auctions may use cookies (a small text file placed on your computer to identify your computer and browser) and other tracking technologies such as web beacons (an electronic file placed on a website that monitors usage), to collect general, non-personally identifiable information about visitors to the Website(s). The information collected is used to improve the experience of the Website(s) and Services, such as allowing us to recognize you when you revisit the Website(s) to provide you with customized information and/or to remember your preferences.

You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, certain features of the Website(s) or Services may not work if you delete or disable cookies.
How We Use The Information We Collect
Advertising
Notwithstanding any other provision, we partner with third parties (Third Party Providers and Advertisers, collectively known as “Advertisers” as such terms are defined below) that collect information across various channels, including offline and online, for purposes of delivering more relevant advertising to you. Our partners may place or recognize a cookie on your computer, device or directly in our emails/communications, and we may share personal information with them, as permitted by law and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Our partners may link the personal information we share with them to the cookie stored on your browser or device, and they may collect information such as your IP address, browser or operating system type and version, and demographic or inferred-interest information. Our partners use this information to recognize you across different channels and platforms over time for advertising, analytics, attribution, and reporting purposes. For example, our partners may deliver an ad to you in your web browser based on a purchase you made in a physical retail store, or they may send a personalized marketing email to you based on the fact that you visited a particular website. To learn more about interest-based advertising in general and to opt out, please visit http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
Our Privacy Policy does not cover any use of information that an ad network may collect from you. Advertisements may be shown via the Site, the App, or on third-party websites. You can visit the Network Advertising Initiative website at www.networkadvertising.org, which offers information about Internet advertising companies and how to opt out of their information collection.
Do Not Track Disclosure
Additionally, although some Internet browsers have a ‘do not track’ feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked, we are currently not set up to respond to such signals so we do not track you.
