At HotMush Auctions, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy statement provides you with information regarding our information gathering and usage practices for our websites and services.
Your Personal Information
HotMush Auctions offer several opportunities for visitors to register for promotional and informational mailings, and to receive assistance in evaluating our software and services. We do not collect any personal information about visitors to our websites unless they choose to provide it voluntarily. We define “personal information” as information that personally identifies an individual or allows us to contact you. Such information might include a phone number, name or email address.
We also provide online tools that our customers use to operate aspects of their business or organization for purposes of fundraising, customer relationship management, childcare centers or camp operations, online donation and auction services, and social engagement among others. In providing these tools, HotMush Auctions processes data to our customers or their constituents submit to our services, or instruct us to process on their behalf. While HotMush Auctions customers or their constituents decide what data to submit, it typically includes information about their constituents, donations, and contact information.
Information submitted to us is only available to employees for purposes of contacting customers, sending materials based on their requests for information, providing news and relevant information about our company, or supporting our products and services that our customers utilize. We also use this information to help us determine their needs related to our software solutions. Users may opt out of receiving future mailings at any time by sending an email to support@hotmush.com
By using our Websites, you understand and consent to the collection, storage, processing, and transfer of your information to our facilities in the United States.
Sharing and Usage
HotMush Auctions will not sell, share, rent, or disclose your personal information without your advance permission or unless ordered by a court of law. We occasionally contract with other companies to provide limited services on our behalf for the purposes of providing and improving our services, or serving you better. Examples of such services might include (but are not limited to) mailing services, data de-duplication services and address verification services. We will provide those companies only the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
IP Information Tracked
We use your IP address to administer our web site, help diagnose problems with our servers, and to identify the general geographic region of the device in order to provide the most efficient service capacity to that region. An IP address is a unique identifier used by devices to identify and communicate with each other on the Internet. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. We track browser types and versions to help us understand our visitors’ needs related to our web site design. We currently do not process Do Not Track signals sent by your Internet browser because a universal technology standard has not yet been fully established.
Cookies
Cookies are small alphanumeric identifiers created by your browser on your system when you visit a website. They do not gather or provide personally identifiable information. We use cookies to enable our systems to recognize your browser and ensure a fluid, secure, and consistent user experience. Client-side cookies store preferences, identify where you are in a process, help to prevent you from entering information repeatedly, and provide page usage statistics in order for us to provide an optimal experience. We also use cookies to track and measure the success of our website and marketing campaigns in meeting your informational needs. Additionally, visitors that entered our sites by responding to a Google Adwords Advertisement may be associated with a site conversion in Google’s advertising tracking tool. If a user rejects the cookie, he may still use our site; however, the user’s access to some areas or functionality within our website may be limited.
Security
We take the security of our systems very seriously and take appropriate measures to ensure it remains safe. While no website can guarantee security, we maintain appropriate technical and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information. HotMush Auctions takes care to reinforce the importance of our web site visitors’ security and privacy among our employees.

Privacy Notice
We are committed to protecting your privacy. We have prepared this Privacy Policy to describe to you our practices regarding the Personal Data (as defined below) we collect from users of our website.
Purpose of Collection and Use of Personal Data
HotMush Auctions collects certain Personal Data such as name, email address, postal address and telephone number. We do not collect sensitive Personal Data of consumers, customers or suppliers, such as information about medical or health conditions, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or other sensitive information as defined by the Privacy Shield framework.
We use Personal Data of consumers, customers, suppliers and others (i) to respond to their requests, (ii) to evaluate the quality of our products and services, (iii) to communicate with them about our products, services and related issues, (iv) to notify them of and administer offers and promotions, (v) for internal administrative and analytics purposes, and (vi) to comply with our legal obligations, policies and procedures.
Choice
HotMush Auctions shares Personal Data with its service providers. We do not use Personal Data for purposes incompatible with the purposes for which the information was originally collected without notifying the relevant consumers, customers, suppliers and others of such uses and offering an opportunity to opt-out.
In addition, we may disclose Personal Data (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials based on an enforceable governmental request or as may be required under applicable law, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

Data Integrity
HotMush Auctions takes reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Data collected by HotMush Auctions is relevant for the purposes for which it is to be used and that the information is reliable for its intended use and is accurate, complete and current. We depend on our consumers, customers, suppliers and others to update or correct their Personal Data whenever necessary.
Your Rights to Access, to Limit Use, and to Limit Disclosure
Because in some circumstances HotMush Auctions personnel have limited ability to access data our customers submit to our services, if you wish to request access, to limit use, or to limit disclosure, please provide the name of the HotMush Auctions customer who submitted your data to our services. We will refer your request to that customer, and will support them as needed in responding to your request.
Compelled Disclosure
HotMush Auctions may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
