Privacy Policy

1. Overview

These terms are sample copy written for this demonstration build of Copart. They are not legal advice and do not represent the actual terms of Copart, Inc.

This policy explains the categories of information this demonstration collects, why we collect it and the choices available to you. We collect only what is needed to operate accounts, auctions and support.

2. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, information generated by your use of the site, and limited information from service providers.

• Account details: name, email address, password hash, membership tier and marketing preferences.
• Transaction details: bids, watchlists, saved searches, invoices and vehicle inquiries.
• Support details: messages you send through contact or seller forms.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type and pages visited.

3. How we use information

We use personal information to operate and improve the service, communicate about auctions and account activity, prevent fraud and comply with legal obligations.

• Authenticate you and maintain your session.
• Process bids, watchlist alerts and seller inquiries.
• Respond to support requests and send requested notifications.
• Detect abuse, secure the site and debug problems.
• Measure aggregate usage to improve navigation and content.

4. When we share information

We do not sell personal information. We share it with service providers who help operate the site — hosting, email delivery, analytics and payment processing — under contracts that limit their use of the data.

We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect safety or rights, or as part of a corporate transaction.

5. Retention and security

Account and transaction records are retained for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to meet legal, tax and fraud-prevention obligations.

We use access controls, encrypted transport and hashed passwords. No system is completely secure, so please use a unique password and contact us if you suspect unauthorised access.

6. Your privacy choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or port your personal information, or to object to certain processing. You may also opt out of marketing communications at any time.

• Update account details and marketing preferences from your account.
• Unsubscribe using the link in any marketing email.
• Request access or deletion by contacting support.
• Manage cookies from the cookie banner and your browser settings.
