Consent If you give GSD Auctions consent for the processing of your personal data, we use this consent as the basis for processing.

  • Creating an account to participate in the auction
  • Email marketing if you are not yet a customer

Execution of the Agreement Some processing is necessary to execute our agreement with you. This includes the following purposes:

  • Handling transactions for buying and selling a lot
  • Arranging transport and delivery of the purchased lot

Legitimate Interest of GSD Auctions We process personal data based on legitimate interest. We always balance our interest with your interest. This includes the following purposes:

  • Marketing activities

Who Do We Process Personal Data For? We process the personal data of anyone who has been in direct or indirect contact with GSD Auctions. This mainly concerns bidders, buyers, and sellers.

We obtain the data directly when you visit our website, applications, or mobile platforms, or when you create an account or contact our customer service.

Automatically Collected Personal Data When you visit our websites or other applications and mobile platforms, we automatically collect certain personal data. This includes your IP address or the date and time you have been active on our websites or apps.

How Long Do We Retain Your Data? The retention periods for personal data are determined based on legally required periods or until the purpose of processing is achieved. Personal data is never retained longer than necessary.

Who Do We Share Your Data With? When a lot is shipped following a purchase, the name, address, and contact details (including phone number and email address) of the buyer will be shared with the seller to complete the shipment. When the purchase is collected at a seller-organized pickup day, the name, address, and phone number of the buyer are shared with the seller for contact regarding the pickup time or any outstanding invoices.

In the case of a complaint where GSD Auctions, in its mediating role, fails to resolve the issue, personal data is shared with the seller so that the seller can contact the buyer directly. If personal data is changed during an auction, during a complaint, or shortly after handling a complaint, the originally provided contact details are shared with the sellers if it is deemed necessary for the seller to exercise rights under the purchase agreement.

GSD Auctions collaborates with other parties to provide services. This always complies with the GDPR. GSD Auctions ensures that parties handle your personal data carefully where possible.

Service Providers: Sometimes other companies and individuals are contracted to work on our behalf. This includes companies providing transport or payment processing (credit card, direct debit, and invoicing) or professional bidding agents acting on behalf of clients.
