Privacy Policy

The short version: No advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. Bidding uses guest checkout and Stripe Checkout, so I keep your email, brand details, bid amount and payment references — never your card number. No site login or password is required.

Who I am

Brandmyconsole is run by Abel (“I”, “me”). Contact: [email protected]. I am the data controller for everything described here.

What I collect when you bid

• Email address — to confirm your bid, tell you if someone outbids you, and contact you if you win. This is the only reason it is required.
• Brand name, logo file and website — they are published on the console and on this page once your deposit is paid.
• Bid amount and time — the auction cannot work without them, and they are shown publicly.
• An internal bidder identity — a server-side record tied to your submitted email so bids and deposits can be associated with you. It is not a site login and has no password or public profile.
• A payment reference — the identifiers Stripe returns for your deposit, so it can be refunded or set against your invoice. Card numbers never reach this site; they are entered on Stripe’s own page.

I do not ask for your name, address or phone number. An internal bidder identity is created automatically when you submit a bid; you do not need to create an account, set a password or complete a profile.

What is public and what is not

Once a deposit is paid, the brand name, logo, website and amount appear on the site — that is the point of the auction. Your email address is never published and is never shared with other bidders.

Unpaid bids are not shown publicly.

Cookies and analytics

This site does not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking, and no analytics service is currently enabled. Stripe Checkout handles payment details on Stripe's own page; this site never sees your card number.

The site may keep temporary form values in your own browser. The bid details are sent to the service only when you submit them.

• temporary form values, if your browser restores them;
• a Stripe Checkout session while you complete a payment.

Who processes your data

• Supabase — hosts the database and the logo files.
• Cloudflare Email Sending — sends the bid and auction notification emails.
• Stripe — takes and refunds deposits, and holds the card details this site never sees.
• Vercel — hosts the site and keeps standard server logs.

I do not sell your data, and I do not use it for anything other than running this auction.

How long I keep it

Bid records stay for as long as the sticker is on the console, since they are the record of who bought what. If your bid is rejected or you ask me to delete it, it and the uploaded logo go within 30 days.

Records of money — deposits, refunds, invoices — are kept for as long as applicable U.S. tax and accounting laws require, whatever you ask, because that obligation is not mine to waive.

Your rights

Under applicable U.S. privacy laws, you can ask for a copy of your data, request corrections, or ask for deletion where the law allows. Email [email protected] and I will handle your request within a reasonable time.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects you, I will email everyone holding a spot. The date at the top always shows the current version.
