Privacy Policy
Bostwicks on 96 ("we," "us," "our," or "the Company") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website, how we use it, how we protect it, and your choices regarding that information.
Information We Collect
We collect information you voluntarily provide when using our website, including but not limited to: your name, phone number, email address, mailing or property address, item descriptions, photographs you upload, and any additional details you choose to share through our Sell With Us, Estate Services, Antique Mall vendor inquiry, or general Contact forms. We may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as browser type, device type, and general site usage patterns, through standard analytics tools, to help us understand how visitors use our site.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to: respond to inquiries and follow up regarding selling items, estate liquidation, becoming a vendor, or general questions; process and route submissions to the appropriate member of our team; improve our website and services; and maintain records related to items submitted for sale or auction. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information you share with us. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Platforms
Our online auctions are hosted and conducted through HiBid, a third-party auction platform independent of this website. If you register an account, place bids, or make payments through HiBid, that information is collected and governed by HiBid's own privacy policy and terms, not by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review HiBid's privacy policy directly on their platform.
Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic site functionality and to gather anonymous analytics about site traffic. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though this may affect certain site features.
Children's Privacy
Our website and services are not directed toward children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
