Privacy Policy

Effective AUG 2026 · v1.2

AUCTION CENTER, INC ("we", "our") operates a lot-based vehicle auction platform. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. We keep things short on purpose. If you read it once, you should not need to read it again.

01 · What We Collect

We collect three categories of information:

  • Account data — name, email, phone number, hashed password, and an ID number for verified bidders. You provide this when you register.
  • Bidding data — bids you place, lots you watch, proxy bids you set, invoices we issue, and the events you attend. Generated automatically as you use the service.
  • Technical data — IP address, browser, device type, log timestamps, session cookies, and first-touch attribution cookies (for example click IDs from Meta or Google ads). Captured to keep the platform running, secure, and to measure marketing performance.

02 · How We Use It

We use your information to operate the auction platform, contact you about lots and invoices, prevent fraud, and meet our obligations under anti-money-laundering and tax law. We do not sell personal information. We do not run targeted ad networks against your bidding history.

03 · Sharing

We share data only with parties we cannot run the service without:

  • Lenders who consigned a lot you won — to transfer title and arrange handover.
  • Carriers if you book vehicle shipping through us.
  • Authorities when compelled by valid legal process.

Every recipient is bound by a written data-handling agreement, and we share only the minimum necessary.

04 · Cookies

We use a session cookie to keep you signed in, a CSRF token cookie to block cross-site forgery, and first-party attribution cookies (for example aa_first_* / aa_last_*, and Meta _fbp / _fbc when Meta ads are active). When tracking is enabled we may also load Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, and the Meta Pixel. Clear cookies whenever you like — you will simply sign in again, and attribution may reset.

05 · Retention

We keep account and transaction records for seven years after your account closes, in line with U.S. financial-record retention rules. Technical logs roll off after ninety days. To close your account, write to office@auctioncenterinc.com and we'll handle it inside thirty days.

06 · Your Rights

You can access, correct, export, or delete your personal data by writing to us. Where applicable (GDPR, CCPA), you can also object to processing or restrict it. We answer rights requests within thirty days, free of charge.

07 · Security

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. The site runs over TLS. Database backups are encrypted. We monitor for unauthorised access continuously. If a breach affects you, we will notify you within seventy-two hours of confirming it.

08 · Contact

Questions, requests, or concerns about privacy: office@auctioncenterinc.com. For everything else, see the contact page.

Field Notes

What our customers say

Ethan Smith
📍 Texas

It took me a while to find the right car, but once I did, everything was smooth sailing. Choosing the vehicle, getting financing, and setting up pickup were all simple and stress-free.

Olivia Johnson
📍 California

Overall, the buying experience was good. My only issue was that the truck was listed as a 4x4, but it turned out to be a 4x2. They said the price was still correct, but that’s definitely something that should’ve been listed accurately. Other than that, everything went well.

Noah Williams
📍 Florida

Buying my car from Auction Center was simple, painless, and actually kind of fun. They had a great selection, and I was kept in the loop throughout the whole process. The car arrived right on schedule, and even my neighbors were impressed. I’d recommend Auction Center to anyone who wants to skip the usual dealership hassle.

Sophia Brown
📍 New York

Buying through Auction Center was super easy. We found the vehicle we wanted, checked out the pictures and specs online, and decided to go for it. The car was delivered to our house on the exact date promised. The only minor issues were some dust inside and low pressure in the front-left tire. Besides that, it was a great experience.

Liam Davis
📍 Ohio

The delivery process was pretty frustrating. A few days before the original delivery date, I was told the car would be delayed another week. After waiting that extra week, Auction Center called the morning of delivery and said the car wouldn’t start, so it was pushed back another five days. After two delays, the car finally arrived, but the inside was dirty. I opened a ticket during the seven-day return period and sent them pictures. To their credit, they responded quickly and gave me a $150 credit for a full interior detail. That definitely saved the day.

Emma Miller
📍 Illinois

The whole process was simple, and the results were great. It was way better than sitting at a dealership listening to all the usual nonsense and hearing, “Let me check with my manager” over and over. We ordered online but could still talk to someone by phone whenever we had questions. The car arrived on time and looked exactly like the listing. They handled the vehicle, financing, delivery, and even followed up with us afterward. I’d definitely use them again.

Benjamin Wilson
📍 Pennsylvania

The process was smooth and straightforward. No haggling, and the prices were pretty reasonable. Buying a car entirely online was new to me, but it definitely won’t be my last time. My only problem was that the previous owner had clearly been a smoker, and the smell was rough. I had to get the car fully detailed and the carpets shampooed before I felt comfortable driving it.

Ava Moore
📍 Georgia

Auction Center is basically the Starbucks of car buying. The people are friendly, the vibe is great, and i love my new ride.

Lucas Taylor
📍 North Carolina

I waited three weeks for my vehicle and dealt with three separate delays. I like the car, but one of the fog lights was already out when it arrived. After waiting that long, I feel like something that obvious should’ve been fixed beforehand. Other than that, the experience was good.

Mia Anderson
📍 Michigan

The purchasing process itself was smooth and drama-free, but the prep work on my 2020 Toyota 4Runner was disappointing. It arrived with a flat tire and Colorado mud still caked underneath the vehicle. The car itself is good, but they really dropped the ball on getting it ready for delivery.

Henry Thomas
📍 Arizona

I’m sure the staff is nice, but my new car only came with half a tank of gas. The taxes also ended up being $150 higher than what was shown online. You definitely pay extra for the convenience of avoiding a salesperson, but honestly, I’m not sure that convenience is worth the added cost.

Charlotte Jackson
📍 Washington

Everything was pretty easy and hassle-free. The delivery driver was great. It was pouring rain, but he never complained while unloading the car and handling the paperwork. He stayed professional the whole time.
