EstateMeet operates an online marketplace designed to connect estate sale companies, professional liquidators, individual sellers, buyers, collectors, dealers, charitable organizations, and other marketplace participants. EstateMeet provides technology services that facilitate listing creation, product discovery, communications between users, artificial intelligence assisted features, search functionality, transaction facilitation, analytics, and related marketplace services. Except where expressly identified, EstateMeet is not the owner, consignor, purchaser, reseller, auctioneer, or merchant of items listed by independent users of the Platform.
This Privacy Policy explains how Personal Information is collected and processed when individuals access or use the Platform, create an account, communicate with EstateMeet, purchase or sell products, participate in estate sales, subscribe to marketing communications, or otherwise interact with EstateMeet. This Privacy Policy also describes the rights available to individuals under applicable privacy laws and the choices users may have regarding the processing of their Personal Information.
This Privacy Policy forms a separate legal document from the EstateMeet Terms of Service. Any matters concerning contractual rights, marketplace rules, seller obligations, buyer obligations, intellectual property rights, acceptable use standards, payment obligations, dispute resolution procedures, or limitation of liability are governed exclusively by the Terms of Service.

4. How We Use Personal Information
EstateMeet processes Personal Information solely for legitimate business, operational, contractual, security, legal, and compliance purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. Depending upon the nature of a user's interaction with the Platform, Personal Information may be processed to establish and administer user accounts, authenticate users, verify identities, maintain account security, facilitate marketplace transactions, process payments, coordinate product pickup or delivery, respond to customer support inquiries, administer promotions, improve Platform functionality, prevent fraud, investigate suspicious activity, comply with applicable legal obligations, enforce contractual rights, and protect the integrity of the Platform.

Where permitted by applicable law, EstateMeet may process Personal Information to communicate with users regarding account activity, customer support matters, product updates, marketplace announcements, educational content, promotional opportunities, security notifications, policy changes, service interruptions, new features, and other communications reasonably related to operation of the Platform.
EstateMeet may also use Personal Information to create aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified statistical information that no longer identifies an individual user. Such information may be used for internal reporting, marketplace analytics, forecasting, research, product development, benchmarking, fraud detection, operational improvement, and business planning.
5. Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable privacy laws require identification of a legal basis for processing Personal Information, EstateMeet processes Personal Information upon one or more of the following lawful bases.
Processing may be necessary for the performance of a contract or in anticipation of entering into a contractual relationship with the user, including creation and administration of user accounts, facilitation of marketplace transactions, customer support, payment processing, fulfillment of requested services, and operation of Platform functionality.
Processing may also be necessary to comply with legal obligations imposed upon EstateMeet under applicable federal, state, local, or international laws, including tax reporting requirements, anti-money laundering obligations, consumer protection laws, court orders, governmental investigations, regulatory inquiries, accounting requirements, and record retention obligations.
EstateMeet may additionally process Personal Information where such processing is necessary to pursue its legitimate business interests, provided such interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of affected individuals. Legitimate interests include maintaining platform security, detecting fraudulent activity, preventing abuse, improving marketplace performance, developing new functionality, protecting users, enforcing agreements, conducting internal audits, protecting intellectual property, and maintaining reliable business operations.
Where required by applicable law, EstateMeet will obtain a user's consent before processing Personal Information for specific purposes. Consent may be withdrawn at any time to the extent required by law, although withdrawal shall not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to such withdrawal.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
EstateMeet utilizes cookies, web beacons, software development kits, browser storage technologies, session identifiers, pixels, local storage objects, application identifiers, device recognition technologies, server logs, and similar technologies to support operation of the Platform.
These technologies enable EstateMeet to authenticate users, maintain secure login sessions, remember user preferences, improve website performance, personalize marketplace experiences, measure usage patterns, detect fraudulent activity, identify technical issues, preserve shopping cart contents, improve search functionality, and maintain overall Platform security.
Certain cookies are essential to operation of the Platform and cannot reasonably be disabled without impairing functionality. Other cookies may be used for analytics, personalization, advertising measurement, marketing attribution, user experience optimization, and performance monitoring.
Users may modify browser settings to reject or remove certain cookies. However, disabling cookies may limit functionality, prevent authentication, interfere with saved preferences, impair transaction processing, or otherwise reduce the availability of certain Platform features.
EstateMeet may periodically revise its use of cookies and similar technologies as Platform functionality evolves. Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically for updates concerning tracking technologies.
7. Analytics and Performance Monitoring
EstateMeet utilizes internal analytics tools and third-party analytics providers to understand how users interact with the Platform, evaluate marketplace performance, improve user experience, identify software defects, measure feature adoption, optimize search functionality, monitor infrastructure performance, and improve overall service reliability.
Analytics information may include browser characteristics, operating system information, device identifiers, session duration, referral sources, clickstream information, feature usage, search activity, navigation paths, interaction with listings, approximate geographic information, conversion metrics, and other technical information generated during normal use of the Platform.
Where feasible, EstateMeet endeavors to minimize the amount of Personal Information processed through analytics systems and may aggregate or pseudonymize such information before analysis.
Analytics providers process information subject to their own contractual obligations and applicable privacy laws. EstateMeet does not authorize analytics providers to use Personal Information for purposes inconsistent with providing services to EstateMeet.
8. Marketing Communications
EstateMeet may send transactional communications necessary to administer user accounts, complete marketplace transactions, provide customer support, communicate security notifications, notify users regarding purchases, reservations, payment confirmations, shipping updates, policy changes, or otherwise facilitate operation of the Platform.
Where permitted by law, EstateMeet may also send promotional communications concerning new marketplace features, estate sales, product recommendations, educational content, newsletters, marketing campaigns, seller tools, events, and other commercial information that EstateMeet believes may be of interest to users.
Users may opt out of promotional email communications by utilizing the unsubscribe mechanism contained within such communications or by updating communication preferences within their account settings where available.
Opting out of promotional communications shall not prevent EstateMeet from sending transactional or legally required communications relating to account administration, purchases, security incidents, privacy requests, regulatory obligations, or other operational matters.
Where EstateMeet offers SMS notifications, text message marketing, or other electronic communications regulated by applicable telecommunications laws, EstateMeet will obtain any consent required by applicable law prior to initiating such communications. Users may withdraw such consent in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
9. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Processing
EstateMeet incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies designed to improve marketplace efficiency and user experience.
Users may voluntarily submit photographs, inventory information, descriptions, pricing information, product characteristics, and related marketplace content for processing through AI-assisted tools that generate listing descriptions, pricing suggestions, category recommendations, keyword optimization, duplicate detection, image enhancement, search optimization, buyer recommendations, inventory organization, and related functionality.
Artificial intelligence outputs are generated through automated technologies and are intended solely as informational recommendations. EstateMeet makes no representation or warranty regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, legality, merchantability, marketability, appraisal value, or suitability of AI-generated outputs.
Users remain solely responsible for reviewing, validating, editing, approving, rejecting, and publishing all AI-generated content before making such information available through the Platform.
EstateMeet may use anonymized, aggregated, pseudonymized, or otherwise de-identified marketplace information to improve internal artificial intelligence systems, fraud detection capabilities, search algorithms, recommendation engines, operational analytics, and future Platform functionality, provided such processing cannot reasonably identify an individual user.
EstateMeet does not intentionally use identifiable Personal Information to train publicly available artificial intelligence models unless expressly authorized by the affected user or otherwise permitted by applicable law.
PART III
Disclosure of Personal Information, Marketplace Communications, Third-Party Service Providers, Business Transfers, Data Security, and Data Retention
8. Disclosure of Personal Information
EstateMeet does not sell Personal Information for monetary consideration. Except as expressly described in this Privacy Policy, EstateMeet does not disclose Personal Information to unrelated third parties for their independent commercial purposes without the user's consent or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.
In operating the Platform, EstateMeet may disclose Personal Information to carefully selected service providers, contractors, processors, professional advisors, and technology vendors performing services on EstateMeet's behalf. Such disclosures are limited to the extent reasonably necessary to provide marketplace services, maintain Platform functionality, detect fraud, improve security, process payments, provide customer support, deliver communications, perform analytics, maintain cloud infrastructure, comply with legal obligations, or otherwise operate the Platform in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

EstateMeet requires service providers processing Personal Information on its behalf to maintain appropriate confidentiality obligations, implement commercially reasonable security safeguards, process Personal Information only for authorized purposes, and comply with applicable privacy laws.
9. Marketplace Communications
The Platform facilitates communications among buyers, sellers, estate sale companies, administrators, and customer support personnel. Users acknowledge and agree that communications transmitted through the Platform may be stored, indexed, archived, reviewed, analyzed, or otherwise processed by EstateMeet for legitimate business purposes.
Such purposes include fraud prevention, dispute resolution, abuse investigations, customer support, enforcement of marketplace policies, quality assurance, cybersecurity monitoring, compliance with applicable law, platform improvement, and operation of artificial intelligence features that assist in organizing, categorizing, routing, or summarizing communications.
EstateMeet does not actively monitor every communication exchanged through the Platform. However, EstateMeet reserves the right, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to review communications whenever reasonably necessary to investigate suspected violations of applicable agreements, illegal activity, fraudulent conduct, security incidents, or threats to the safety or integrity of the Platform or its users.
Users should not transmit highly confidential information through marketplace messaging unless reasonably necessary to complete a transaction.
10. Artificial Intelligence Processing
EstateMeet incorporates artificial intelligence technologies to improve marketplace efficiency and user experience. Users may voluntarily submit photographs, descriptions, pricing information, inventory details, product characteristics, historical sales information, and other marketplace content for processing by AI-powered features.
Artificial intelligence functionality may generate suggested product titles, descriptions, pricing recommendations, category classifications, search keywords, product attributes, image enhancements, duplicate detection, listing summaries, buyer recommendations, marketplace analytics, and similar outputs intended solely to assist users in creating and managing listings.
AI-generated outputs are informational recommendations only and should not be interpreted as professional advice, certified appraisals, tax advice, legal advice, financial advice, or guarantees of market value. Users remain solely responsible for reviewing, editing, approving, or rejecting all AI-generated content before publication.
EstateMeet may use de-identified, aggregated, pseudonymized, or otherwise anonymized marketplace information to improve machine learning models, enhance search capabilities, develop new features, improve fraud detection systems, optimize marketplace operations, and conduct internal research and development, provided such processing complies with applicable law and cannot reasonably identify an individual user.
EstateMeet does not intentionally use Personal Information to train publicly available artificial intelligence models in a manner that identifies individual users.
11. Disclosure in Connection with Transactions
Where reasonably necessary to facilitate marketplace transactions, EstateMeet may disclose limited Personal Information between buyers and sellers.
Such information may include names, shipping addresses, billing information, telephone numbers, email addresses, transaction identifiers, pickup instructions, delivery information, payment confirmation, messaging history, reservation status, or other information reasonably necessary to complete, administer, or resolve a marketplace transaction.
EstateMeet exercises reasonable efforts to limit disclosures to information necessary for the specific transaction.
Once Personal Information is disclosed to another marketplace participant as part of a completed transaction, EstateMeet cannot control the recipient's independent use of such information. Users are expected to comply with all applicable privacy laws and may not use Personal Information obtained through the Platform for unsolicited marketing, unauthorized commercial solicitation, data harvesting, profiling, or other purposes inconsistent with the intended operation of the Platform.
12. Legal Compliance and Protection of Rights
EstateMeet may disclose Personal Information whenever it reasonably determines that disclosure is necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, judicial proceedings, subpoenas, court orders, regulatory investigations, tax obligations, law enforcement requests, or other legal processes.
EstateMeet may also disclose Personal Information where reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; enforce contractual rights; investigate suspected fraud, abuse, intellectual property infringement, payment disputes, money laundering, cybersecurity incidents, or other unlawful conduct; protect the safety of users or third parties; preserve evidence; recover debts; or otherwise protect the legal rights, property, business operations, employees, contractors, users, or affiliates of EstateMeet.
Nothing contained in this Privacy Policy shall be interpreted to limit EstateMeet's ability to cooperate with governmental authorities where legally required or reasonably appropriate.
13. Corporate Transactions
EstateMeet reserves the right to disclose, assign, transfer, or otherwise make available Personal Information in connection with any proposed or completed merger, acquisition, financing, investment, reorganization, restructuring, bankruptcy proceeding, receivership, joint venture, sale of assets, stock purchase, business combination, or similar corporate transaction.
Any successor entity receiving Personal Information shall assume the rights and obligations applicable under this Privacy Policy or a successor privacy policy provided in accordance with applicable law.
14. Information Security
EstateMeet maintains administrative, organizational, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, misuse, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or other unlawful processing.
Such safeguards may include encryption technologies, authentication controls, role-based access controls, audit logging, vulnerability management, secure software development practices, disaster recovery planning, penetration testing, network monitoring, endpoint protection, multifactor authentication where appropriate, and ongoing employee security awareness training.
Although EstateMeet endeavors to implement commercially reasonable safeguards consistent with industry standards, no method of electronic transmission, cloud storage, or internet communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, EstateMeet does not warrant or guarantee that unauthorized access, cyberattacks, malware, ransomware, denial-of-service attacks, data interception, or other security incidents will never occur.
Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their passwords, authentication credentials, and account access information and for promptly notifying EstateMeet of any suspected unauthorized access or compromise.
15. Data Retention
EstateMeet retains Personal Information only for so long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce contractual rights, satisfy tax and accounting requirements, detect fraud, preserve evidence, maintain appropriate business records, and protect the legitimate interests of EstateMeet and its users.
Retention periods may vary depending upon the nature of the information collected, the user's relationship with EstateMeet, the existence of active transactions, legal hold requirements, pending investigations, litigation obligations, regulatory requirements, contractual obligations, or applicable statutes of limitation.
Where Personal Information is no longer required for legitimate business or legal purposes, EstateMeet will take commercially reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymize, aggregate, or otherwise render such information incapable of identifying an individual, unless continued retention is required or authorized by applicable law.
Backups, disaster recovery systems, archived logs, and security records may continue to contain Personal Information for limited periods following deletion from active production systems, consistent with EstateMeet's business continuity and legal compliance requirements.
PART IV

16. Individual Privacy Rights
Subject to applicable law, EstateMeet recognizes and honors the privacy rights afforded to individuals under applicable federal, state, and international privacy laws. Depending upon an individual's jurisdiction of residence and the nature of the information processed, users may have the right to request access to Personal Information maintained by EstateMeet, request correction of inaccurate Personal Information, request deletion of Personal Information, request restriction of certain processing activities, object to certain categories of processing, request portability of Personal Information in a structured and commonly used format, withdraw previously granted consent where processing is based upon consent, or exercise other rights provided under applicable law.
These rights are not absolute. EstateMeet may decline, delay, or limit a request where permitted by applicable law, including where compliance would interfere with legal obligations, compromise the privacy rights of another individual, impair fraud prevention efforts, prejudice pending or anticipated litigation, reveal confidential commercial information, expose proprietary technology, interfere with security measures, or otherwise fall within an applicable statutory exception.
EstateMeet shall not discriminate against any individual for exercising applicable privacy rights. However, certain Platform functionality may become unavailable where requested deletion or restriction prevents EstateMeet from providing requested services or complying with legal obligations.
17. Verification of Privacy Requests
To protect the privacy and security of users, EstateMeet reserves the right to verify the identity of any individual submitting a privacy request before acting upon such request.
Verification procedures may include authentication through an existing user account, confirmation of email address or telephone number, verification of transaction history, submission of government-issued identification where reasonably necessary, comparison of account information, or other commercially reasonable verification procedures designed to prevent unauthorized disclosure of Personal Information.
Where a request is submitted through an authorized agent, EstateMeet may require written authorization signed by the individual concerned, together with sufficient information necessary to verify both the requesting individual and the authorized representative.
EstateMeet reserves the right to deny requests that cannot be reasonably verified or that appear fraudulent, abusive, repetitive, excessive, or otherwise inconsistent with applicable law.
18. California Privacy Rights
If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the "CCPA"), applies to EstateMeet's processing activities, California residents may possess certain statutory rights regarding their Personal Information.
Subject to applicable statutory limitations, California residents may have the right to know the categories of Personal Information collected, the categories of sources from which such information was collected, the business or commercial purposes for collecting or processing such information, the categories of third parties with whom Personal Information has been disclosed, and the specific pieces of Personal Information maintained by EstateMeet.
California residents may also possess the right to request correction of inaccurate Personal Information, request deletion of Personal Information maintained by EstateMeet, request limitation of the use or disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information where applicable, and opt out of processing activities that constitute the sale or sharing of Personal Information as defined under California law.
EstateMeet does not knowingly sell Personal Information for monetary consideration. To the extent any online advertising practices or cross-context behavioral advertising activities are deemed to constitute "sharing" under applicable California law, EstateMeet will provide mechanisms required by applicable law for eligible users to exercise available rights.
EstateMeet shall not discriminate against California residents for exercising rights afforded under applicable privacy legislation.
19. Privacy Rights Under Other United States Laws
Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Oregon, Texas, Delaware, New Jersey, and other jurisdictions that have enacted comprehensive privacy legislation may possess rights similar to those described above, subject to the specific provisions of applicable state law.
Where required, EstateMeet will honor verified requests relating to access, correction, deletion, portability, objection, appeal of denied requests, and other statutory rights available under applicable state privacy laws.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as limiting any rights specifically granted under applicable legislation.
20. European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland
Where EstateMeet processes Personal Information subject to the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the United Kingdom GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, or substantially similar legislation, individuals may possess additional statutory rights.

EstateMeet operates primarily within the United States. Personal Information collected through the Platform may be transferred to, processed within, or stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where EstateMeet, its affiliates, subsidiaries, contractors, cloud service providers, or authorized service providers conduct business.
Data protection laws applicable in such jurisdictions may differ from those of a user's country or state of residence.
Where required by applicable law, EstateMeet shall implement appropriate contractual, organizational, or technical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information transferred across international borders.
By using the Platform, users acknowledge that Personal Information may be processed in jurisdictions outside their place of residence, subject to applicable legal requirements.
22. Children's Privacy
The Platform is intended exclusively for individuals who have reached the age of majority required to enter into legally binding contracts within their jurisdiction or who otherwise possess legal authority to use the Platform.
EstateMeet does not knowingly solicit, collect, process, or maintain Personal Information from children under thirteen (13) years of age, or any higher minimum age required by applicable law.
If EstateMeet becomes aware that Personal Information has been collected from a child in violation of applicable law, EstateMeet shall take commercially reasonable steps to delete such information as promptly as reasonably practicable.
Parents or legal guardians believing that a child has submitted Personal Information to EstateMeet may contact EstateMeet using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy.
23. Do Not Track Signals and Global Privacy Controls
Certain internet browsers and devices permit users to transmit "Do Not Track" signals or similar browser preferences.
Because no universally accepted technical standard currently exists governing interpretation of such signals, EstateMeet does not currently respond to browser-based Do Not Track requests unless otherwise required by applicable law.
Where legally required, EstateMeet will recognize and process Global Privacy Control ("GPC") signals or similar legally recognized preference mechanisms in accordance with applicable privacy legislation.
24. Data Breach Response
EstateMeet maintains incident response procedures designed to identify, investigate, contain, remediate, document, and respond to suspected or confirmed security incidents involving Personal Information.
Where a security incident results in unauthorized acquisition, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of Personal Information, EstateMeet will evaluate notification obligations under applicable federal, state, and international laws and, where legally required, provide notifications to affected individuals, regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other appropriate parties within the timeframes prescribed by applicable law.
Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted as an admission of liability or negligence with respect to any particular security incident.
25. Regulatory Compliance
EstateMeet endeavors to maintain a privacy program reasonably designed to comply with applicable privacy and cybersecurity legislation governing its operations, including, where applicable, comprehensive state privacy laws within the United States, the California Consumer Privacy Act, the General Data Protection Regulation, the United Kingdom GDPR, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, and other applicable consumer protection, cybersecurity, and electronic communications laws.
Compliance obligations may evolve over time as privacy legislation changes. EstateMeet reserves the right to revise its privacy practices, internal procedures, and this Privacy Policy to maintain compliance with applicable legal requirements.
