Privacy policy
Website privacy notice.
Last updated October 17, 2026. This page explains how Dick Hutchison Auction & Real Estate handles information from this website, contact requests, email list signups, basic website analytics, and the DH Auction iPhone app.
Names, phone numbers, emails, and messages are used for auction and real estate communication.
GA4 helps show which pages visitors use, without advertising or remarketing enabled.
Personal information is not sold. Service providers may help operate the site and analytics.
Information We Collect
We collect information you choose to send us, such as your name, email address, phone number, message details, auction questions, property details, or email list signup information.
We also collect basic website activity through Google Analytics, such as pages visited, approximate location, browser and device type, referring websites or search terms, page views, scrolls, outbound clicks, and similar site usage information.
How We Use Information
- To respond to auction, real estate, estate sale, equipment, land, or general contact requests.
- To maintain the email list when you ask to receive auction updates.
- To understand how visitors use the website and improve the pages people rely on most.
- To protect the website, prevent misuse, and comply with legal obligations when needed.
DH Auction iPhone App
The app has no account, tracking, or ads. Saved auction details and local reminders stay on your device. If you enable push alerts, the app sends its Apple push notification token, alert preferences, and saved auction IDs to this website only to deliver auction notifications. It also sends its app version and time zone to support that service.
We keep registration and delivery timestamps, delivery status, retry counts, and short error codes to operate this service. We use hashed network addresses for request rate limits. Turning all alerts off in the app removes that registration and its associated delivery records from our server. If you delete the app, we remove the registration when Apple reports that its token is invalid; registrations that have not checked in for 180 days are also removed. Deleting the app does not immediately notify our server.
Google Analytics and Cookies
We use Google Analytics to measure website traffic and understand how visitors use this site. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies, including the _ga cookie, to distinguish one visitor from another and report site usage statistics.
We do not currently use Google Analytics for advertising, remarketing, or personalized ad targeting. You can manage cookies in your browser settings, and Google also offers the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
How Information Is Shared
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that help operate the website, provide analytics, host website files, deliver email list services, or respond to legitimate legal requests.
Retention and Choices
We keep contact and email list information only as long as reasonably needed for auction business, communication, recordkeeping, or legal purposes. You can ask to update or remove your contact information from our email list by contacting us.
