Your choices, clearly explained.

This development build supports verified email membership and saved category preferences. Auction emails are not active yet.

What this build stores

When you request a sign-in link, your email is sent to Supabase Auth to deliver and verify that request. After verification, Supabase stores your member identity and a default preferences record with alert emails disabled. Secure session cookies keep you signed in; signing out clears this browser’s session.

Registration support

When you submit a valid sign-in link request, we also use Resend to email the site owner your submitted address, request time and whether the sign-in email request was accepted or failed. This can happen before verification and on returning sign-ins. The owner retains these notices in their inbox for registration support and can check your current verification status before following up. No magic link or session token is included. Requesting a link does not opt you into auction alerts or automated follow-up emails.

Your interests and email choice

Saving interests stores your selected categories and separate email choice in Supabase. Consent changes include a server timestamp and the consent-text version. Signing out does not delete your saved choices, and signing in does not re-enable email alerts. Free Academy access never requires alert-email consent. You can save no categories to pause category-based alerts, or uncheck email consent and save to opt out.

Auction email delivery

When auction alerts are activated after testing, category-matched digests will use researched source listings and Resend delivery. Private records track which auctions were included, provider delivery identifiers and suppression after bounces or complaints. Research uses public auction information; subscriber addresses and preferences are not sent to auction websites or included in research prompts. Each digest has an unsubscribe link that only disables auction emails, without signing you in or changing categories. Browser unsubscribe requires confirmation; email providers can also submit a scoped one-click request. These operations do not grant membership or auction-email consent.

Website analytics

We use Vercel Web Analytics on the hosted website to understand page visits, referral sources, approximate location and device information. It does not use analytics cookies or record your screen or form entries. We exclude authentication and unsubscribe pages, strip query strings and URL fragments from tracked page addresses, and do not send your email address or saved interests as analytics events.

Before public launch

The operator’s contact details, service providers, retention practices, and account deletion procedure must be finalized here before launch. This draft is not a completed production privacy notice.
