WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Personal Information is broadly defined as information
about an identifiable individual, but does not include the name,
title, business address, or telephone number of an employee of an
organization. Data we collect with personal identifiers removed,
so that it is impossible to determine the identity of the person
to whom the information relates, is not considered Personal Information.
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

GIVING CONSENT
The cornerstone to protecting your privacy is consent. We will only
collect, use, and disclose your Personal Information with your consent,
except where otherwise permitted by law. We do not, as a condition
of the supply of a product or service to you, require you to consent
to the collection, use, or disclosure of your Personal Information
beyond that information which is required to complete the transaction.
By using the internet auction site and services, you signify your

alter, or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If you continue
using any portion of the internet auction site following notification
or posting of such change, then this will constitute your acceptance
of these changes.
Types of Consent
Consent can be express or it may be implied in appropriate circumstances.
Express Consent can be given by you in writing, in person, electronically,
by telephone, or by using a check-off box.
Implied Consent may be used by us as a basis for extending new marketing
offers or delivering merchandise or catalogues to you. We will not
use your implied consent for the use or disclosure of your sensitive
Personal Information such as financial data.
Withdrawing Consent
You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual
restrictions and reasonable notice. If you withdraw your consent,
we will inform you of the implications of such withdrawal. To withdraw
your consent, simply contact us and advise us of what Personal Information
you no longer wish us to use.

Parties who can provide additional services to the Participants
and which may be of benefit to you. In addition, Iron Globe Auctions
Ltd. may disclose aggragated data (not being Personal Information)

on line in a public area, that information may be collected and
