Welcome to Daniel F. Kelleher Auctions, LLC ("Kelleher" or "we"). Daniel F. Kelleher Auctions, LLC publishes this Privacy policy to let you know how we will continue to collect, use, and protect personal information about you in a digital age. It also describes your rights in relation to this information.
This policy covers information that you give us when you bid or purchase something from us or consign stamps or other goods to us, register for or attend any of our live events around the world, visit or register for any of our branded websites, request a catalog, sign up for any of our print or online publications or newsletters or publish information on our pages on social media platforms. We will publish a link to this policy at the bottom of online properties to which it applies and as often as possible, will include its URL on paper forms to which it is applicable.
Please note that we may offer you auction opportunities in two ways: first, you may bid on Kelleher's own auction platform. Data about you will be collected and used according to this policy and our Cookie policy as published on those sites or apps. Second, we may also arrange for other companies’ auction sites to allow you to participate in our auctions/bid for Kelleher's items from their sites. The other companies may collect data about you and your participation according to their respective privacy policies. Those other companies will transfer data about you to us to fulfill successful bids and we may also use that data in any manner consistent with this policy. We recommend that you take a moment to ascertain whether you are on another company’s auction site and review the posted privacy policy applicable to that site.
How Kelleher Will Collect Information About You
Personal information is information, or a combination of pieces of information that could reasonably allow you to be identified. We will collect personal information about you from a variety of sources, including information we collect from you directly (e.g. when you contact us), information we collect about you from other sources and information we collect automatically from you, as described below:
Information We Collect Directly From You
The categories of information that we collect directly from you are: personal details (e.g., name), contact details (e.g., phone number, email address, postal address), transaction information (e.g., bidding records, shipping details, information about items you purchase or wish to consign), limited financial information (e.g., summarized payment information in connection with your purchases, wire instructions), information you may provide concerning your collecting interests, and identification information.
We rely on the information you provide to us or that we collect or observe about your individual interactions with us, for example, if you attend a live event, participate in one of our auctions, become a client, or register online.
Information We Collect From Other Sources
We may add public information about you from external sources. The categories of info we collect about you from other sources are your public profile information, and professional organizational affiliations. We may work to expand our customer base by acquiring names, contact data, financial information, affiliations, and demographic information from other sources such as private companies, public registers, and social media sites. We may also generate information such as appraisals, profiles, and a history of our relationships with you based on the information you have provided or that we have obtained from other sources.
We may make video recordings of our auctions and certain live events.
Information We Collect Automatically
We may use common data collection technologies as you visit our websites or interact with our emails:
Our logs gather date and time information about your visit to our web sites when you bid in our auctions.
Information That We Do Not Collect Or Store
Kelleher does not store client credit card information. We have a link on our web site to a secure credit card processing portal. That portal allows you to enter your credit card information in order to pay invoices that you may owe to us. Your credit card information never reaches us and is not stored by us. Rather it is passed directly to the credit card processor via a secure transmission method using advanced encryption technologies. Please do not send us your credit card information directly, even in emails.

Additional Information for EEA Customers and Visitors to Kelleher's Sites
In order to meet privacy regulations in the European Economic Area ("EEA") and Switzerland, Kelleher provides additional information to its EEA based customers and website visitors.
Who is responsible for your data?
If you visit Kelleher's website, or participate in a Kelleher auction, then the data controller will be Daniel F. Kelleher Auctions LLC, a US entity, and this policy contains our contact details.
What is the legal basis on which Kelleher relies to process your data?
On some occasions, Kelleher processes your data with your consent (e.g., when you agree that we may place cookies, or if you ask Kelleher to send you information about upcoming events).
On other occasions, Kelleher processes your data when we need to do this to fulfill a contract with you (e.g., for billing purposes) or where we are required to do this by law (e.g., where we have to fulfill anti-money laundering requirements). If it is mandatory for you to provide data for these purposes, we will make this clear at the time and will also explain what will happen if you do not provide the data (e.g., that we will not be able to process a bid at auction).
Kelleher also processes your data when it is our legitimate interests to do this and when these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights. For example, Kelleher has a legitimate interest in ensuring the security and integrity of our auctions, in learning about the interests and preferences of our current and prospective clients, in developing new business opportunities, in maintaining accurate business and provenance records, and in ensuring that our websites operate effectively. When we process personal information to meet our legitimate interests, we put in place robust safeguards to ensure that your privacy is protected and to ensure that our legitimate interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
Data transfers
Kelleher may transfer personal data to countries outside the EEA, including countries which have different data protection standards than those which apply in the EEA.
Your Rights
You may ask Kelleher for a copy of your personal information, to correct it, erase it, restrict our use of it, or to transfer it to other organizations at your request subject to local law. You also have rights to object to some processing and, where we have asked for your consent to process your data, to withdraw this consent. In particular, you have rights to object to direct marketing at any time. Where we process your data because we have a legitimate interest in doing so (as explained above), you also have a right to object to this. These rights may be limited in some situations - for example, where we can demonstrate that we have a legal requirement to process your data.
If you would like to discuss or exercise such rights, please contact us at the details above. We encourage you to contact us to update or correct your information if it changes or if the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate. We will contact you if we need additional information from you in order to honor your requests. We hope that we can satisfy queries you may have about the way we process your data. We are committed to working with you to obtain a fair resolution of any complaint or concern about privacy. However, if you have unresolved concerns and believe that we have not been able to assist with your complaint or concern, you also have the right to complain to data protection authorities.
Changes to this policy
You may request a copy of this policy from us using the contact details set out above. We may modify or update this policy from time to time.
If we change this policy, we will notify you of the changes by updating this policy on our website. Where changes to this policy notice will have a fundamental impact on the nature of the processing or otherwise have a substantial impact on you, we will give you sufficient advance notice so that you have the opportunity to exercise your rights (e.g., to object to the processing if you are located in the EEA or Switzerland).
