​

Our Privacy Promise

 

We know privacy stuff can be a bit... dense. So, we're breaking down how we handle your info in plain English. Think of this as our honest chat about what we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. No funny business, just good old transparency.

​

1. What we do with your stuff (information, that is!)

When you snag something awesome from our digital "stall," we naturally collect the bits we need to make that happen – like your name, address, and email. That's just how we get your goods to you!

​

Just by browsing our virtual YARDSALE, your computer also whispers its IP address to us. This helps us understand what kind of browser you're using and what operating system you're on (sounds techy, but it isn’t), so we can make sure our site looks good and works smoothly for everyone.

​

Want to hear about new finds? If you give us the green light, we might send you emails about fresh arrivals, special deals, or other cool updates from the YARDSALE. We won't spam you, promise!

 

2. Your say (consent)

How do we get your "okay"? When you give us your info to buy something, verify your card, place an order, arrange delivery, or make a return, we figure you're cool with us using that info just for that specific reason. It's like handing over cash for a vintage jumper – you expect us to use it for the jumper, right?

​

If we ever want to use your info for something else – like sending you those cool marketing emails – we'll always ask you directly first. You'll have a clear chance to say "yes, please!" or "nah, I'm good."

​

Changed your mind? No worries! If you've opted in and then decide you'd rather not hear from us, or you want us to stop collecting or sharing your info, it's super easy to withdraw your consent. Just shoot us an email at yo@yardsale.nz

 

3. Sharing is caring (but only when we have to!)

Look, we're not in the business of spilling your secrets. We'll only share your personal info if the law absolutely requires us to, or if you happen to break our " YARDSALE Rules" (our Terms of Service).

 

4. Our digital stall (powered by wix!)

Our entire online YARDSALE is set up on WIX. They're the folks who give us the awesome platform to sell our goods to you.

Your data lives safely within WIX’s systems – their storage, databases, and general application. They keep it locked down tight on a secure server behind a digital firewall. Think of it as a super-secure vault!

​

Paying for your finds: If you choose to pay directly, WIX handles your credit card data. It's encrypted with top-notch security (PCI-DSS, if you're into the techy details). We only keep your transaction info long enough to complete your purchase, then poof! It's gone.

​

All the direct payment methods we use follow the strict security rules set by the big players like Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. This just means your credit card info is handled with the utmost care.

5. Other helpers (third-party services)

Sometimes, we use other services to help us run the YARDSALE smoothly – like payment processors. These "third-party providers" only get access to your info as much as they need to do their job for us.

​

A quick heads-up: Some of these helpers, especially payment gateways, have their own privacy policies. We highly recommend giving those a read, especially if you're curious about how they handle your personal info.

​

Just remember, if you're dealing with a service provider located in a different country, their local laws might apply to your information. For example, if you're in Canada and your payment goes through a US company, US laws (like the Patriot Act) could come into play.

​

Once you click away from our YARDSALE site or get redirected to another website, our Privacy Promise here doesn't apply anymore. We can't vouch for other sites' privacy practices, so always give their statements a quick look!

​

6. Keeping your stuff safe (security)

We take protecting your personal info super seriously. We use reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure your data isn't lost, misused, accessed without permission, or messed with.

​

If you give us your credit card info, it's encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption. While no online method is 100% foolproof (the internet's a wild place!), we follow all the strict PCI-DSS requirements and other generally accepted industry standards to keep your data as safe as possible.

 

7. Cookies (the digital kind!)

Yes, we use cookies! Not the yummy kind, but the digital ones that help our site remember things. We've listed them here so you can decide if you want to opt out.

• _session_id: Helps Shopify remember your current visit.

• _shopify_visit: Tracks how many times our site is visited (no personal data here!).

• _shopify_uniq: Counts unique visits from a single customer.

• cart: Remembers what's in your shopping cart (super handy!).

• _secure_session_id: Another session tracker.

• storefront_digest: If our Yardsale ever has a password, this helps us know if you're allowed in.

 

8. Are you old enough for the yardsale? (age of consent)

By using our site, you're telling us you're at least the age of majority in your state or province. Or, if you're the age of majority, you're confirming that you've given us permission for any of your younger dependents to use this site.

 

9. Updates to this promise (changes to this privacy policy)

Just like a YARDSALE might get new items, our Privacy Promise might get updated too! We reserve the right to tweak this policy whenever needed, so please check back often. Any changes will go live as soon as we post them here.

​

If we make any big changes, we'll definitely let you know right here, so you're always in the loop about what info we collect, how we use it, and when we might share it.

​

And if our YARDSALE ever gets bought out or merges with another company, your info might transfer to the new owners so they can keep selling you awesome stuff!
