Privacy Policy

This policy describes how Blue Goose Resale, LLC, operating the BuyOfferBid service, collects, uses, and protects information. BuyOfferBid uses customer information to operate local shopping events, verify accounts, process purchases, coordinate pickup, and send customer-requested updates.

Information We Collect

• Account details such as name, phone number, email address, and verification status.
• Purchase, bid, watchlist, payment, pickup, and customer-support records.
• SMS consent records, including whether you opted in to auction or event-start messages and where that opt-in occurred.
• Website activity and technical information such as pages and items viewed, purchases and other website actions, cookie identifiers, session records, IP address, device/browser details, and fraud-prevention signals.

How We Use Information

• To send one-time login and account-security verification text messages.
• To send optional auction and new-event text messages only when you choose to opt in.
• To run auctions, Buy Now purchases, pickup scheduling, receipts, payment support, and customer service.
• To measure website use and the effectiveness of BuyOfferBid advertising.
• To protect the service, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, and enforce our terms.

Website Analytics and Advertising

BuyOfferBid uses Google Analytics 4 and the Meta Pixel and Meta Conversions API to measure website activity, purchases, and advertising results. Google Analytics uses first-party cookies, including _ga cookies, to distinguish browsers and sessions. Depending on how you reach and use the site, Google and Meta may receive page URLs, referring pages, item and event identifiers, item prices, order totals, website actions, cookie or ad-click identifiers, IP address, and browser or device information.

Google Analytics advertising signals and ad personalization are disabled. Google Analytics is not loaded on staff, administration, profile, payment-method, verification-code, or email-verification-link pages. Query parameters are excluded from Google Analytics page locations except for standard utm_ campaign parameters.

BuyOfferBid does not provide Google Analytics or Meta with customer phone numbers, email addresses, names, postal addresses, payment details, verification codes or tokens, text-message content, or SMS opt-in and consent records. Meta automatic and manual advanced matching are not used. Google’s and Meta’s processing of information they receive is governed by their own terms and privacy choices.

SMS Privacy

Your mobile information will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for promotional or marketing purposes. Text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with third parties.

We may use service providers to process mobile information solely as necessary for BuyOfferBid messaging operations, such as SMS delivery, account verification, telecommunications, security, and support. These providers are not allowed to use mobile information or SMS consent for their own marketing, promotional, lead generation, or analytics purposes.

Text Message Choices

Account verification texts are used to confirm access to your phone number. Auction and new-event marketing texts are optional and require a separate opt-in. You can opt out of optional BuyOfferBid text messages at any time by replying STOP to the BuyOfferBid messaging number. Reply HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply.

Payments

Payment card details are handled by our payment processor. BuyOfferBid stores payment references and transaction records, but does not store full card numbers.

Retention and Security

We keep information for as long as needed to operate the service, resolve disputes, comply with tax, accounting, messaging, and legal requirements, and maintain security records. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate for a local commerce platform.

Your Choices

You may update account profile details in your account. You may opt out of optional text messages by replying STOP. You may also ask us to review, correct, or delete information when deletion is not prevented by transaction, legal, security, or compliance requirements.

You can limit or delete browser cookies through your browser settings, review Google’s Privacy Policy, use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, and review Meta’s controls for activity received from other businesses. You can also review industry advertising choices at YourAdChoices. Restricting cookies may reduce the accuracy of website measurement and advertising attribution.
