You have certain rights listed below over how the data is processed and can exercise
these rights at any point.

Policy is provided to you in connection with such right.
·The right to access, rectify and update. You have the right to access, rectify and update
your personal data at any time by signing on to GrandBid. Generally, we will not manually

and we will take reasonable steps to respond to your request in accordance with legal
requirements.
·The right to data portability. Under certain circumstances, you have the right to (i) request

provide you with those data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format
and/or (ii) transmit those data to another controller.
·The right to be forgotten. You have right to request that we erase your data. If you wish to
erase the personal data we hold about you, please let us know and we will take
reasonable steps to respond to your request in accordance with legal requirements. If the
personal data we collect is no longer needed for any purposes and we are not required by
law to retain it, we will do what we can to erase it.
·The right to restrict processing. Under certain circumstances, you have the right to restrict
the processing of your personal data, for example, where the accuracy of the personal
data is contested by you or if the personal data we collect is no longer needed for
processing, but is required by you in connection with any legal claims.
·The right to object. Under certain circumstances, you have the right to object to certain
types of processing, including processing for direct marketing and profiling.
·The right to complain to supervisory authority. You have the right to lodge a complaint
with the relevant supervisory authority about how we process your personal data.
·The right to withdraw consent. You have the right to withdraw any consent given to the
processing of your data (i.e., we rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your
personal data), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (although if you do
so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal data with your
consent up to that point is unlawful). You can withdraw your consent to the processing of
your personal data at any time by contacting us with the details provided below.
·Rights related to automated decision-making. You have the right not to be subject to a
decision which is based solely on automated processing and which produces legal or
other significant effects on you. In particular, you have the right:
·to obtain human intervention;
·to express your point of view;
·to obtain an explanation of the decision reached after an assessment; and
·to challenge such a decision.
You can exercise your rights by submitting a request through the “contact us” form on
our Site.
Upon your request, we will close your account and remove your personal data from view
as soon as reasonably possible, based on your account activity and in accordance with
applicable law. We may retain personal data from closed accounts to comply with law,
prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, assist with any investigations,
enforce our User Agreement, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.
l12. Security
Your personal data is stored on our servers. We treat personal data as an asset that must
be protected and make extensive use of tools (encryption, passwords, physical security,
etc.) to protect your personal data against unauthorized access and disclosure. However,
as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or
private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal data that
they collect from the Site. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy,
we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal data or private
communications will always remain private.
l13. Third Parties
Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses
only the use and disclosure of personal data we collect from you. If you disclose your
personal data to others, whether they are buyers or sellers on our Site or other sites
throughout the internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the personal
data you disclose to them. GrandBid does not control the privacy policies of third parties,
and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. We
encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal data to others.
l14. General
We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on the Site.
All amended terms automatically take effect on the day they are posted on the Site. If your
questions are not answered online, you may contact us here

data is and remains lawful and base such processing on your consent to the processing of
your personal data for the specific purposes as described herein. When necessary, your
consent must be given by a clear affirmative act at registration. This Privacy Policy is
effective upon such act.

about you from a credit bureau, as permitted by law; or if the information you provide
cannot be verified, we may ask you to send us additional information, such as your driver
license, credit card statement, or a recent utility bill or other information confirming your
address, or to answer additional questions online to help verify your information).
You are not required to provide us the personal data that we request and can, in certain
circumstances, stop us from collecting it by submitting a request through the “contact
us” form on our Site. However, if you choose not to provide us the requested personal
data, we may not be able to provide you with our services or with a high quality of service,
or respond to your communication.
l3. Marketing
We don’t sell or rent your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes
without your explicit consent. We may process your personal data to improve and
personalize our services, content and advertising. We use those data because GrandBid
has a legitimate interest to promote its products and services. If you don’t wish to receive
marketing communications from us, simply indicate your preference once you become a
member of GrandBid (or similar account status page) or by following the directions
provided in an email or from a link on an advertisement. Even if you unsubscribe from
some email subscriptions, we may still need to email you with important transactional or
other non-advertising information. If you choose to personalise your experience with
GrandBid through a third-party login like Google or Facebook. We will automatically
activate your account and subscribe you to our certain transactional email procedures.
Should you wish to not receive these communications, you can unsubscribe through any
email at any time. If you would like to manage what data is received by GrandBid through
this account login type, please refer to your account directly with that service.
l4. Purpose
Our primary purpose in collecting and processing personal data is to provide you with a
safe, smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Therefore, your personal data are
collected and processed by us for the following purposes:
·to provide the services and customer support you request;
·to resolve disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
·to prevent potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our User Agreement;
·to customize, measure and improve our services, content and advertising;
·marketing, service updates, and promotional offers based on your communication
preferences;
·to compare information for accuracy, and verify it with third parties.
Where appropriate, we will ask for your consent to process the personal data. Where you
have given consent for processing activities, you have the right to withdraw your consent
at any time.
In certain cases we may process your personal data based on legitimate interest, e.g. for
internal training and quality assurance purposes, to verify information for accuracy, to
provide customer support and for other legitimate purposes.
We may process your personal data where such is necessary for compliance with our
legal obligations. For example, we may be required to process your personal data to
comply with anti-money laundering rules or our tax obligations.
Where we intend to process the personal data for a purpose other than that for which they
were collected, we will provide you prior to that further processing with information on that
other purpose and other necessary or general information. However, we are not required
to provide information where you already possess such information, where the recording
or disclosure of the personal data is expressly laid down by law or where the provision of
information to you would be impossible or involve a disproportionate effort (for example,
where processing is carried out for archiving purposes in the public interest or statistical
purposes).
Your personal data will be kept for as long as you have a relationship with us or, if you do
not have a relationship with us beyond this communication, for a reasonable length of time
that lets us understand how people use our Site.
l5. Our Sharing of Personal Data
We may share your personal data internally, with members of our corporate family, and
with selected external parties such as third-party service providers. We do so to be able to
carry out your requests, respond to your inquiries, for marketing and promotional
purposes, to respond to legal disclosure requirements, to verify or enforce our policies, to
detect and protect against illegal acts such as fraud, intellectual property infringement,
piracy and money laundering or any technical or security vulnerabilities, to respond to an
emergency or to protect anyone’s rights, property, or safety.

GrandBid enables you to share personal and financial information to complete

remove themselves from your database and a chance to review what information you
have collected about them.

complaints), or

·We use cookies to help identify you and maintain your signed-in status.
·Most cookies are “session cookies,” meaning that they are automatically deleted from
your hard drive at the end of a session.

spoof emails to GrandBid, please contact us. You may not use our communication tools
to send spam or otherwise send content that would violate our User Agreement. We

characters, and do not disclose your GrandBid password to anyone. If you do share your
password or your personal data with others, remember that you are responsible for all

consent up to that point is unlawful). You can withdraw your consent to the processing of
your personal data at any time by contacting us with the details provided below.
·Rights related to automated decision-making. You have the right not to be subject to a
decision which is based solely on automated processing and which produces legal or
other significant effects on you. In particular, you have the right:

applicable law. We may retain personal data from closed accounts to comply with law,
prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, assist with any investigations,
enforce our User Agreement, and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.
l12. Security
Your personal data is stored on our servers. We treat personal data as an asset that must
be protected and make extensive use of tools (encryption, passwords, physical security,
etc.) to protect your personal data against unauthorized access and disclosure. However,
as you probably know, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or
private communications, and other users may abuse or misuse your personal data that
they collect from the Site. Therefore, although we work very hard to protect your privacy,
we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal data or private
communications will always remain private.

only the use and disclosure of personal data we collect from you. If you disclose your

data you disclose to them. GrandBid does not control the privacy policies of third parties,
and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. We
encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal data to others.
