At Global Business Auctioneers & Valuers Pty Ltd, your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website or services related to business valuation and auctioneering.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string (a hash) derived from your email may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if any) will be visible with your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website (for example, in relation to property listings or auction items), please ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract such data from publicly available images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience and will last for one year.
When visiting our login page, a temporary cookie is used to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
If you log in, we will set cookies to store your login details and screen preferences. Login cookies last for two days; screen options cookies for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” keeps your login active for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
Publishing or editing a listing or article will result in a cookie storing the post ID. This expires in one day and does not contain personal information.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Some pages (e.g., market trends, valuation tools, auction previews) may include embedded content such as videos or listings from third-party platforms. These act as if you visited their websites directly. They may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction, especially if you are logged into those platforms.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for verification purposes.
Data Retention
If you leave a comment, it and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
For registered users, we store the personal data you provide in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete this information at any time (except for your username). Our site administrators also have access for support and service purposes.
Your Data Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. You can also ask us to erase any data we hold, excluding information we must retain for administrative, legal, or security obligations.
Where Your Data is Sent
Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection service to maintain website integrity and security.
