Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information StorageAuctionFinder may collect, why we use it, and the choices available to visitors and account holders.

Last updated: August 19, 2026

Information You Provide

You can browse public auction search results without providing your name or email address. If you create an account, contact us, or use account-based features, you may provide information such as your name, email address, password credentials handled by our authentication provider, and the auction listings you choose to save.

If you email us, we receive the information contained in your message and your email address so we can respond.

Search and Usage Information

When you use StorageAuctionFinder, we may process information needed to operate the service, including ZIP codes or search radiuses you enter, pages viewed, buttons or links used, device and browser information, approximate network information, timestamps, and technical logs.

This information may be used to provide search results, diagnose errors, prevent abuse, understand site performance, and improve the website.

Accounts and Authentication

StorageAuctionFinder uses third-party technology, including Google Firebase services, for account authentication and related account features. Depending on the sign-in method you choose, the authentication provider may process your email address, display name, account identifier, and other information necessary to sign you in securely.

Passwords are not intended to be stored by StorageAuctionFinder in readable form. Authentication credentials are handled through the authentication service used by the website.

Saved Listings and Watchlists

If you use a watchlist or saved-listing feature, information identifying the listings you save may be associated with your account so that those items can be shown to you again when you return.

Analytics

We may use analytics services, including Google services, to understand how visitors use StorageAuctionFinder. Analytics technology may collect information such as page views, general device information, browser type, referring pages, interactions, and approximate location derived from network information.

We use this information to measure site usage, identify problems, and improve the search experience.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

StorageAuctionFinder and service providers we use may use cookies, local storage, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar technologies to keep users signed in, remember preferences, provide account functionality, measure site usage, maintain security, and support advertising.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Some StorageAuctionFinder features may not work correctly if necessary cookies or local storage are disabled.

Advertising and Google AdSense

StorageAuctionFinder may display advertising provided through Google AdSense and other advertising partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, may place or read cookies on your browser or use web beacons, IP addresses, and similar identifiers as a result of ad serving on this website.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to StorageAuctionFinder or other websites. Google's advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads that may be based on visits to this website and/or other websites on the Internet, where permitted by law and by your consent choices.

You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. You can also learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services by visiting Google's partner-sites privacy information.

If additional third-party advertising vendors or ad networks are used, they may also use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies. Where applicable, users may be able to visit those vendors' websites or industry opt-out tools to manage personalized advertising choices.

Advertising technology and consent requirements vary by location. Where required, StorageAuctionFinder may present a consent management or privacy message before certain advertising technologies are used. Your choices in those messages may affect whether personalized or non-personalized ads are shown.

Third-Party Auction Websites

StorageAuctionFinder links to third-party storage auction websites. When you click a listing and leave StorageAuctionFinder, the destination website's privacy policy and practices apply. We do not control how those third parties collect or use information.

StorageAuctionFinder does not process the bids or auction payments you make on third-party auction websites.

We may use service providers to operate the website, host the application, provide authentication or database services, deliver analytics, detect abuse, and serve advertising. These providers may process information on our behalf or under their own applicable privacy terms to provide those services.

Sharing of Information

We may share information with service providers that help operate StorageAuctionFinder, when required by law or valid legal process, when reasonably necessary to protect the service or users, or as part of a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

Data Retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain account features, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect against abuse, and maintain appropriate business records. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why it is needed.
