B. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website or use our online services, we may automatically collect:

• IP address

2. Payment Processing

EG Auctions uses Moneris Solutions Corporation (“Moneris”) to securely process credit card transactions in both Canada and the United States.

• EG Auctions does not store or retain credit card numbers.
• All payments are encrypted and processed through Moneris’ PCI-DSS compliant servers.

You may review the Moneris Privacy Policy at www.moneris.com.

3. Listings, Photos & Public Information

When you submit a listing (vehicle, item, or service), your photos, descriptions, and related details become publicly visible on our website and online bidding platforms.

Listings may also be used in EG Auctions marketing materials such as email campaigns or social media posts.

We do not allow:

• Vulgar or inappropriate photos
• Misleading or fraudulent content

Sellers and buyers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide and for complying with all applicable laws and regulations.
