Antiques Genie collects personal information only when it is reasonably needed to complete a payment, provide a requested service, maintain your Antiques Genie wallet, 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, maintain your Antiques Genie wallet and credit balance, perform the services you request, deliver results, respond to questions, maintain appropriate transaction and service records, and provide related customer service.
In short, Genie asks for information when she has something useful to do with it.
When you purchase credits, Antiques Genie creates or maintains a wallet associated with your purchase. Your wallet allows available credits to be used for eligible Antiques Genie services without requiring a conventional username and password account.
Your wallet is accessed using a unique wallet token. Antiques Genie may remember that token in your browser so that you do not have to enter it each time you use a paid service.
Remembering your wallet is provided as a convenience and is not required to use your credits. If the wallet information stored in your browser is unavailable, disabled, or deleted, you may access your wallet using your wallet link or by entering your wallet token where provided.
Information may be transmitted to service providers when reasonably necessary to complete a payment, operate the website, process a request, communicate with you, or provide the service you selected. Those providers receive information for the purpose of helping us perform that function.
Payments for Antiques Genie services are processed through a third-party payment provider. Payment information needed to complete a transaction is handled through that provider's payment system.
Antiques Genie does not need to receive or store your full credit card number in order to provide its services.
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.
Antiques Genie may use ordinary website analytics and performance tools to understand how the site is being used, identify technical problems, improve navigation, and make the service more useful.

Antiques Genie may use cookies or similar browser technologies for limited purposes, including remembering your Antiques Genie wallet and supporting the operation, security, and functionality of the site.
The wallet information stored in your browser is intended to make it easier to access your credits on later visits. It is not required to use your wallet. You may delete or block cookies and instead provide your wallet token when access to your wallet is needed.
Antiques Genie may also use third-party analytics, performance, or advertising services. Depending upon the service, these providers may collect or process information such as device and browser information, IP address, approximate location, pages visited, and interactions with the site. Third-party providers process information according to their own privacy practices.
Antiques Genie may display advertising provided by third-party advertising partners. Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to provide, measure, or personalize advertising where permitted by applicable law.
Where consent or other choices are required by applicable law, visitors will be provided appropriate controls. Browser settings and other available privacy controls may also be used to manage or limit cookies.
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably useful to maintain your wallet and credit balance, complete requested services, maintain transaction and business records, provide customer support, and meet applicable accounting or legal requirements.
We aim to keep what is useful and avoid collecting personal information merely for the sake of collecting it.
If you have a question about personal information you have provided to Antiques Genie, please contact us. We will make reasonable efforts to answer questions and address appropriate requests concerning that information.
Antiques Genie will continue to evolve, and this privacy statement may occasionally change with it. The current version will be posted here so that visitors can see how information is being handled.
