UC San Diego collects two kinds of information on this site:

1. Personal information that is voluntarily supplied by visitors to this site who register for and use services that require such information. This information is collected for the purpose of differentiating site users and communicating with customers who are involved in the bidding and purchase of Surplus items. If you choose to register for our site for the purpose of bidding on or purchasing surplus items, you will be required to provide certain personal information that we need to process your request and purchase. This site automatically recognizes and records certain non-personal information, including the name of the domain and host. This personal information includes:
   1. Customer Name
   2. Customer Email
   3. Customer Phone
   4. Customer Address
2. Information that is automatically collected as visitors navigate through this site.

When a purchase has been made or an auction has been won on the site, personal information of the winner/purchaser is transferred to the Surplus Sale’s inventory system hosted by TrackVia. Any winner/purchaser is also subject to TrackVia’s Privacy Policy:

When we receive personal information from one of our clients in order to carry out a service we process that information on their behalf.  When we act in this capacity, our client determines the purpose for which the information was collected and how we should use it.

UC San Diego do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to others. We may provide aggregated statistical data to reputable third-party agencies, but this data will include no personally identifying information. This may be done for the purposes of collecting website analytics to drive marketing campaigns and site offerings. Our marketing campaigns are operated and completed by a team within the Surplus Sales organization and the Business and Financial Services department and personal information is not shared beyond that team. We may release account information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to:

1. Comply with law.
2. Enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements.
3. Protect the rights, property or safety of UC San Diego, our users, or others.
