Privacy Policy
This personal information privacy policy explains how we, Northrow Limited, use and store your personal and user data.
We take your privacy seriously and respect your desire to remain as unexposed as possible. For that reason, we do not sell or share your personal information with marketing agencies or receive advertisement revenue for your data. We make every reasonable effort to comply with the requirements of the Personal Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA") in the collection, disclosure, access, maintenance, and use of all personal information we obtain from you.
We require the minimal level of information necessary to facilitate our business interactions. Personally-identifying information such as your full name, address, and contact information are necessary so we know who we are conducting business with and can ensure a seamless transition from your online interactions to our in-person arrangements.
We may use your personal information to contact you regarding your account status, such as a successful bid on an item or confirmation of a viewing appointment. We may also use your information to update you on revisions or changes to our policies or your accounts. Additionally, we require certain information from you to meet our legal obligations in the course of our business, such as a billing address and banking details.
On occasion, we may use your provided contact information to update you on relevant events pertaining to our auctions. You may at any time elect to withdrawal from these updates.
We will never release your personal information to any other organisation or entity without your permission unless compelled to by law. Within our own organisation, your information may be used by our agents and employees to reference and identify you, your account, and your invoices so that we may serve you more efficiently. Our employees and agents will not have access to your sensitive information, but they will be privy to whether an account has an unpaid or paid status.
You may at any time request the removal or alteration of your personal information from our records. We will do our best to meet your request promptly and securely but may be unable to comply if barring circumstances prevent it. Such circumstances may include an unsettled account, potential privacy breaches of our other members, legal obligations to others that may put their data at risk, and/or if we are compelled by law to retain your information in the course of an investigation, subpoena, or warrant. Any denied request will be met with the reasoning as to why unless prohibited by law.
We will keep your personal information on record as long as is reasonably required for the purposes for which we collected it, but no longer. The length of time will depend on your particular circumstances.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will do so by posting the changes on our website. Changes will be effective from when they are posted. We may not provide notices of any changes in any manner other than by posting the changes at this website and making effort to contact you by methods you have provided us. We therefore urge you to review this policy periodically for updates and make sure we always have accurate contact details so that we can reach you.
