Privacy Policy
& Cookie Notice

1. Information we collect

• Information you submit: your name, email address, optional phone number, collection categories and description, optional photos and their filenames, and your confirmation that you own the coins or are authorized to sell them.
• Inquiry records: a request identifier and reference, submission time, review status, follow-up correspondence, and email delivery records. Photos can contain embedded information, so check files before uploading.
• Technical information: hosting and security providers may process your IP address, browser and device information, request logs, and similar information needed to deliver and protect the site. When you accept advertising cookies, Meta also receives activity and technical information described below.

Please send information about the coins. Do not include payment-card details, government IDs, legal documents, or sensitive personal information in the description or photos. You do not need to tell us about personal circumstances to request an offer.

2. How information is used and shared

We use inquiry information to assess a collection, respond by email or by phone if you provide a number, discuss a potential offer, keep inquiry records, prevent duplicate or abusive submissions, and operate the website. Submitting a form does not commit you to a sale.

Inquiries and photos are stored in the site’s database and file storage. Contact information and the collection description are included in a notification sent to our designated business inbox. Photo links are available through the restricted owner inbox rather than a public gallery.

Information is processed by providers supporting these functions, including the Sites hosting platform and Cloudflare for hosting and storage, Resend for email delivery, and our email provider for business correspondence. Access to the owner inbox requires sign-in. We may also disclose information when required by law or necessary to address fraud, security incidents, or legal claims.

If you accept advertising cookies, we share activity information with Meta as explained below. This use can be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or processing for targeted advertising under some privacy laws. Declining advertising cookies stops that sharing through this site’s Pixel.

3. Meta Pixel and cookie disclosure

Cookies are small browser files. Local storage is another way a site remembers information on your device. This site uses the following categories:

4. Change your cookie choices

A small banner offers Accept and Decline when this browser has no saved choice. It does not block the page or form. Dismissing the banner leaves advertising off for the visit without saving acceptance. Use Cookie choices here, beside the form, or in the footer to change your choice at any time. Advertising is off until you accept. Declining or ignoring the banner does not prevent you from using the form or receiving a response.

We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal by keeping advertising tracking off, even if you previously accepted it, and do not display the consent banner while that signal is on. A choice applies to this browser and site; set it separately on other devices or browsers. Acceptance expires after 180 days; declining does not expire automatically. Clearing site storage removes the saved choice. When there is no current acceptance, advertising remains off until you accept again.

Withdrawing permission stops future Pixel tracking and removes the Meta cookies this site can access. It cannot undo information already sent or remove cookies controlled by Meta on its own domains. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser. If JavaScript is disabled, this site does not load the Pixel; the online form requires JavaScript.

5. Storage, retention, and security

Inquiry records, uploaded photos, and email records remain in our business systems unless removed; this site does not automatically delete them after a fixed period. You can request deletion using the contact below. Some information may need to be retained for a transaction, legal obligation, dispute, or security purpose, and copies may remain in provider backups for their normal retention period.

Information may be processed in the United States and other locations used by our providers. The site uses HTTPS and restricts the owner inbox to authorized access. No internet service or storage method can guarantee absolute security.

6. Your choices and privacy requests

Depending on your location and the laws that apply to our business, you may have rights to access or obtain a copy of your information, correct it, request deletion, or opt out of its sale, sharing, or use for targeted advertising. You can request these actions by emailing info@southbaygalleries.co with the subject “Privacy request.” Include enough information to identify your inquiry, such as the email used and your request reference. Please do not send identity documents unless specifically requested through an appropriate method.

We may need to verify a request before disclosing or changing personal information. Requests are subject to applicable rights and exceptions. You can also ask us to stop follow-up about your inquiry. Use Cookie choices for an immediate browser-level advertising opt-out.

7. Children and updates

This site is intended for adults seeking to sell coin collections. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us to request its removal. We may update this notice when the site or its practices change; the effective date above identifies this version.
