Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Midwest Precious Metals Broker (Midwest PMB) handles information collected through midwestpmb.com and related inquiries.

When you use our contact form, request a private evaluation, or contact us directly, we receive the information you provide. This can include your name, email address, optional phone number, preferred way to receive a response, and your message.

The private evaluation form also asks about your collection, its general location and size, the types of items involved, your timing, and the help you are looking for. Please share only information you are authorized to provide. Do not include government identification numbers, banking details, unredacted court records, or other sensitive documents in a website form.

Our website and hosting services may record technical information such as your IP address, browser and device details, pages requested, referring page, and the date and time of a visit or submission. This information supports website operation, troubleshooting, and protection against spam or misuse.

WordPress, our forms, and related site services may use cookies or similar technologies for site functionality and security. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings; blocking them may affect some features. The website also loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google and sends technical information such as your IP address when those fonts load.

We use inquiry information to understand your request or collection, respond through your preferred contact method where practical, discuss an evaluation or possible purchase, and arrange next steps. We also use information to maintain business records, operate and improve the website, address abuse, and meet applicable legal obligations.

Submitting an inquiry does not require you to sell anything and does not create an obligation to proceed with an evaluation or transaction.

Website form submissions are stored in our WordPress website through Fluent Forms. Inquiry notifications containing your submitted information are sent to our business Gmail account. Our website is hosted by Hostinger, and Google provides the Gmail and font services described above.

Authorized people who operate the business or maintain the website may access information as needed to handle inquiries, support the site, or protect its security. Service providers process information under their own terms and privacy practices. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or the security of our business and website.

How long we keep information depends on the nature of the inquiry, any resulting business relationship, recordkeeping needs, and applicable legal requirements. Copies may remain in website records, email, or backups until they are removed through the relevant retention and backup processes.

We take reasonable precautions to protect information, but no website, email system, or method of electronic storage can guarantee complete security. Please contact us first if a matter requires sharing sensitive documentation.

You may ask us to correct information you provided, request deletion, or change how we contact you by emailing estatepmbroker@gmail.com. Include enough detail to help us locate your inquiry, but do not email identification numbers or financial account details. We may need to verify that a request is yours before acting on it.

We will review requests in light of applicable law and any legitimate recordkeeping obligations. Some information may need to be retained. If you no longer want follow-up about an inquiry, tell us using the same contact address.

This website is intended for adults handling their own collections or acting with authority for an estate or another owner. It is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the site, please contact us so we can review and address it.

Links to other websites are provided for convenience. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

We may update this policy as the website or our practices change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version.

For privacy questions or requests, contact Midwest Precious Metals Broker, based in Lebanon, Missouri, at estatepmbroker@gmail.com.
