Antiques Genie collects personal information only when it is reasonably needed to complete a payment, provide a requested service, or communicate with you about that service.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with others for their own marketing or advertising purposes.
You can browse much of Antiques Genie without providing personal information. When personal information is needed, we collect only what is reasonably necessary to complete the transaction or service you requested.
Depending upon the service, this may include your name, email address, telephone number, billing information, photographs, descriptions, and other information you choose to provide about an object or request.
Information you provide is used to process payments, perform the service you requested, deliver results, respond to questions, maintain an appropriate record of the transaction, and support related customer service.
In short, Genie asks for information when she has something useful to do with it.
Information may be transmitted to service providers when reasonably necessary to complete a payment, operate the website, process a request, or provide the service you selected. Those providers receive information for the purpose of helping us perform that function.

Photographs, descriptions, measurements, marks, provenance, and other information submitted about an object may be processed as necessary to identify, research, value, describe, or otherwise provide the service you requested.
That material may pass through technology providers used to perform the requested service, but it is not sold as personal information or supplied to others for unrelated marketing purposes.
