6. Sharing of your Personal Information
1stDibs does not sell, share, trade, or give away Personal Information other than as described in this Privacy Policy or unless you provide prior consent.
1stDibs may share Personal Information between the different 1stDibs entities where necessary to provide our services to you. We reveal your Personal Information to unaffiliated third parties when you request or authorize it, or to help complete a transaction for you which you have requested.
Where you use our Site to enter into a transaction or correspond with another individual or business registered as a seller on our Site, we provide your Personal Information to that other party in order to facilitate the transaction or the correspondence you have requested. Once your offer is submitted, your Personal Information will be delivered by 1stDibs to that seller, and your order will be placed.
When a US user contacts a seller, 1stDibs may share your search terms, or items you have viewed, saved, or purchased with that seller. You can disable sharing this information with sellers by updating the profile preferences in your account.
Third parties who will have access to your Personal Information include (without limitation) sellers selling items on the Site that you have contacted or made a purchase from, shipping companies, and payment processors completing a transaction at your request.
Sellers from whom you purchase items will have their own privacy practices regarding the information they receive. We encourage you to read such applicable privacy policies. We are not responsible for the processing of your Personal Information by such third parties.
We may share your Personal Information with other companies or agents who have been carefully selected and who perform functions on our behalf (e.g., analyzing data, IT and network services, providing marketing assistance, providing customer service, processing orders, shipping or customs agents, etc.).
We will only transfer your Personal Information to trusted third parties who provide sufficient guarantees in respect of the technical and organizational security measures governing the processing to be carried out and who can demonstrate a commitment to compliance with those measures.
These companies may then use your information for their own purposes including marketing to you, if you consent to receive notifications relating to their products and services. Where you consent to these companies using your information for their own purposes, their use will be governed by their own privacy policies, which you should review.
We may also disclose your Personal Information to comply with the law, applicable regulations, governmental and quasi-governmental requests, court orders, or subpoenas, to enforce our User Agreement or other agreements, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of our users or others.
In the event of a corporate transaction, such as the purchase, sale, or other transfer of all or part of our services or assets, we may transfer your Personal Information along with those assets or services to a prospective transferee. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership, such Personal Information may also be transferred as a business asset. If another company acquires any of our corporate entities, businesses, or assets, that acquiring company may acquire your Personal Information. We do not guarantee that any entity receiving such Personal Information in connection with one of these transactions will comply with all of the terms of this Privacy Policy following such transaction.
7. International Data Transfers
Please note that the personal information we collect may be stored on our servers in the European Union and the United States, and could be accessed by staff outside the EU. This means that your personal data may be processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

Sellers on our platform are located globally, and to provide international services, your personal information may be transferred to merchants or sellers in any country. By using our site, you acknowledge this data transfer to third parties.
When sharing personal data from the EU or UK with third parties (such as shipping agents) in countries without an adequate level of protection, we take steps to protect your data, including using European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses. For further details, please contact us at privacypolicy@1stDibs.com.
Please note, 1stDibs does not rely on the now-invalidated U.S. Privacy Shield Framework for data transfer between the U.S. and the EU.

We implement reasonable safeguards to protect your data, including encryption of sensitive information like credit card details using Transport Layer Security (TLS). However, please note that no system is completely secure, and while we take steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee full security of data transmitted online. Any personal information sent via email is not encrypted.
10. Opt-Out
If you no longer wish to receive offers or communications from us, you can opt out by updating your preferences in your account or by contacting us. You can also unsubscribe from emails by following the provided link or by reaching out directly. These changes will only apply to future communications.
