Information we collect
Information you provide to us directly
- Contact and lead information you submit through forms on this site — such as your name, email address, phone number, company, and any message you send us.
- Information related to buying, selling, or consigning equipment when you contact us or request a quote.
- Information you provide when registering to bid. Our live auctions are hosted on a separate bidding platform (Maxanet, at bid.restaurantequipment.bid); the information you enter there is governed by that platform in addition to this policy.
Information we collect automatically
When you visit this website, we and our analytics and advertising partners automatically collect certain information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring website, and how you interact with the site. We use this information to understand site traffic, measure advertising performance, and improve our services.
We also store limited information in your browser’s local storage to record how you first arrived at our site (for example, the referring website or campaign). This helps us understand which channels bring visitors to us. This information is first-party, is not sold, and is treated as functional to the operation of the site.

You can control these technologies at any time through our consent banner and the “Opt-out preferences” link in our footer. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from using the informational parts of this site.
How we use your information

- To measure and improve our marketing and advertising.
- To communicate with you about auctions, inventory, and offers, where permitted.
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
How we share your information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with:
- Service providers who help us operate our website, forms, email, and hosting.
- Analytics and advertising partners (such as Google, Meta, and LinkedIn) who help us measure traffic and advertising. Some of this sharing may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under California law; see your rights below.
- Our auction platform provider (Maxanet) when you register or bid.
- Legal and safety recipients when required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
Your choices
- Consent banner: Use our cookie banner or the “Opt-out preferences” link in the footer to opt out of analytics and advertising technologies at any time.
- Browser controls: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies.
- Advertising opt-outs: You can opt out of interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance and adjust Google and Meta ad settings within those platforms.
Your California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose.
- Request access to or deletion of your personal information.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information for targeted advertising.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.
To opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” / “Opt-out preferences” link in our footer. To exercise any other right, contact us at info@tagexbrands.com or (800) 572-4480. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights, and we will verify your request before responding as required by law.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Your browser may offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting or a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. We honor the Global Privacy Control signal as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for browsers that send it. Because there is no common industry standard for DNT, we respond to GPC rather than legacy DNT headers.
Data retention and security
We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Children’s privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Third-party links
Our website may link to third-party sites and platforms (including our auction platform). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
