You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Doing so may affect the operation of some website features.

EstateSales101.com may use analytics services provided through Wix or other website tools to understand visitor activity.

Analytics information may be used to determine:

• Which pages are visited

• How visitors find the website

• Which content receives the most interest

• How the site performs on different devices

• Whether website features are functioning properly

• How the website and its educational content can be improved

Analytics information is generally evaluated in aggregate rather than for the purpose of personally identifying individual visitors.

Chatbot and Artificial Intelligence Features

When you interact with such a feature, the content of your conversation may be processed by the technology providers used to provide that service.

Visitors should avoid submitting highly sensitive information through the chatbot, including:

• Social Security numbers

• Bank account information

• Credit card numbers

• Passwords

• Medical information

• Highly confidential legal information

• Other information that is not necessary to receive general educational guidance

We do not intend to use personal information in ways materially different from those described in this Privacy Policy without appropriate notice when required.

Sale of Personal Information

EstateSales101.com is not intended to operate as a business that sells visitors' personal information as a product.

If our data practices materially change in the future, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.

Certain privacy laws may define terms such as "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" more broadly than their ordinary meaning. Where applicable, rights provided under those laws will be respected as required.

Third-Party Websites and Links

EstateSales101.com frequently provides links to outside sources, including news organizations, government agencies, professional resources, estate sale platforms, businesses, and other third-party websites.

Once you leave EstateSales101.com, this Privacy Policy no longer governs your activity.

Third-party websites may collect information according to their own privacy policies, cookies, tracking technologies, and business practices.

EstateSales101.com is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of outside websites.

Visitors should review the privacy policy of any third-party website they choose to use.

News Sources and Embedded Content

EstateSales101.com may discuss or link to third-party news reports, videos, social-media content, or other outside material.

In some circumstances, embedded third-party content may behave as though the visitor had visited the third-party service directly and may result in information being processed by that service.

EstateSales101.com does not control the privacy practices of those third parties.

Data Security

EstateSales101.com takes reasonable steps to use website platforms and services designed to provide appropriate security protections.

However, no internet transmission, website, database, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Visitors should therefore use reasonable caution when deciding what information to submit online.

Data Retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, operating the website, resolving disputes, complying with legal obligations, and protecting legitimate business interests.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the services through which it is processed.

Third-party providers such as Wix may maintain information according to their own retention policies.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information.

These may include the right to request:

• Access to certain personal information

• Correction of inaccurate information

• Deletion of certain personal information

• Information regarding how personal information is processed

• A copy of certain personal information

• Opt-out rights that may apply to certain forms of data processing

Not all rights apply in every circumstance, and applicable law may contain exceptions.

If you wish to make a privacy-related request concerning information controlled by EstateSales101.com, you may contact us using the contact information available on the website.

We may need to take reasonable steps to verify a request before responding.

Texas Privacy Rights

Texas residents may have certain rights under applicable Texas privacy law, depending on whether a particular law applies to EstateSales101.com and the particular type of information or processing involved.

Where applicable, those rights may include the ability to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of certain personal data and to exercise applicable opt-out rights.

EstateSales101.com intends to respond to valid privacy requests as required by applicable law.

Children's Privacy

EstateSales101.com is intended primarily for adults seeking information about estate sales, personal property liquidation, and related topics.

The website is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information from a child has been collected in circumstances requiring deletion, reasonable steps may be taken to remove it.

EstateSales101.com provides general educational information.

Visitors should not use website forms, email, or chatbot features to transmit confidential or highly sensitive information unless doing so is reasonably necessary.

In particular, do not submit passwords, Social Security numbers, complete financial-account numbers, private medical records, or other highly sensitive information through general website communications.
