Privacy notice

This pre-launch draft is displayed for testing and owner review. It will be finalized with BulkBid's legal and contact information before public bidding opens.

Information we collect

BulkBid uses your verified phone number, account and auction activity, saved searches or watches, product questions, payment status, device and security records, text-message history, and pickup information to operate the marketplace.

How we use information

We use information to authenticate buyers, accept and enforce bids, process winning payments, prevent fraud and abuse, answer product questions, send transaction notices, coordinate pickup, keep business records, improve listings and operations, and comply with law.

Payments

Card details are collected and stored by Stripe. BulkBid stores only payment-provider references and limited card information such as the last four digits. Raw card numbers do not enter BulkBid systems.

Text messages

BulkBid uses text messages for verification, bidding, payment, pickup scheduling, reminders, and transaction-related communication. Message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop messages or HELP for help. Opting out may prevent use of features that require verified or transactional text messages.

Product questions

Product questions and verified seller answers may be published on the auction page so all bidders can benefit. Do not include sensitive personal information in a public product question.

Service providers and disclosures

BulkBid shares necessary information with providers that support payments, text messaging, hosting, storage, security, analytics, and pickup operations. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect people or the marketplace, or as part of a business transaction. BulkBid does not sell card numbers or raw payment data.

Retention and security

Records are retained for as long as reasonably needed for auctions, payments, pickup, fraud prevention, taxes, legal obligations, and dispute resolution. BulkBid uses access controls, secret management, provider signatures, audit records, and limited public data exposure, but no system can guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

You may ask BulkBid by text to correct account information or request available privacy assistance. Some transaction, tax, security, and legal records must be retained even after an account is no longer active.
