Privacy Policy

Information we collect and how we use it

• Cookies  Like many companies, we use browser cookies on this Web site. Browser cookies are bits of text that are placed on your computer’s hard drive when you visit certain Web sites. We use browser cookies to tell us, for example, whether you’ve visited us before or if you’re a new visitor and to help us identify site features in which you may have the greatest interest. Browser cookies may enhance your online experience by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular site.The “help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new browser cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new browser cookie, and how to disable existing browser cookies. Remember though, without browser cookies, you may not be able to take full advantage of all our Web site features.

Web Beacons  Certain pages on our site contain “web beacons” (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs). These web beacons allow third parties to obtain information such as the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the beacon appears, the time the page containing the beacon was viewed, the type of browser used to view the page, and the information in cookies set by the third party. We use log files to store the data that is collected through web beacons.  Surplus.com also uses third party web beacons to help manage online advertising. These web beacons are provided by our ad management partner/s. These files enable them to recognize a unique cookie on your Web browser, which in turn enables us to learn which advertisements bring users to our web site. The cookie on your Web browser was placed by Surplus.com, or by another advertiser who works with them. With both cookies and web beacon technology, the information that we collect and share is anonymous and not personally identifiable. It does not contain your name, address, telephone number, payment information or email address.

We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event you/we sell or transfer all or a portion of your/our business or assets.
