This Privacy Policy explains how B & A Collectibles Inc., doing business as IECA (International Estate Collectors Association) ("IECA", "we", "us"), collects, uses and protects information when you visit myieca.com, call our toll-free line, receive a text message from us, join our mailing list or visit one of our buying events.
Information we collect
- Contact details you give us: your name, mailing address, email address and phone number when you fill out a form on our website, join our mailing list, leave a message, or ask us to text you event directions.
- Phone calls: when you call 1-800-488-8015 and choose the automated assistant, the call is handled by an automated phone system. We keep the caller ID number, a written transcript of the call and any details you give (for example, a callback number or mailing address) so that we can answer your question and follow up.
- Text messages: if you ask for event directions by text, we keep your mobile number, the message we sent you, the date and time, and any opt-out (STOP) request.
- At our events: when you sell an item, we collect the information required by law for purchase records, such as your name, address and a government-issued photo ID.
- Website use: basic technical information such as browser type and pages visited, through cookies or similar tools used by our website provider.
How we use information
- To answer your questions and give event dates, locations and directions.
- To send the one text message you asked for.
- To call you back when you leave a message.
- To mail or email event announcements if you joined our mailing list. You can ask to be removed at any time.
- To complete purchases at our events and keep the records the law requires.

How we share information
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share information only with:

- Government authorities when the law requires it (for example, records that licensed buyers must keep).
- A buyer or successor of our business, if the business is ever sold or reorganized.
Text messaging (SMS) privacy
- We collect your mobile number for text messages only when you ask our phone assistant to text you event directions, and we use it only to send that message and to honor opt-out requests.
- No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are excluded from all of the sharing described above and will not be shared with any third parties.
