Machine Ranger ("we," "us," "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our website (machineranger.com), purchase heavy equipment, or list equipment through our marketplace. By using our Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

We use your information to:
- Process equipment sales including deposits, payments, and title transfers
- Manage marketplace services and equipment listings
- Communicate about transactions, offers, or updates via info@machineranger.com or your provided contact
- Promote our services including equipment images without your name unless consented

How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:
- Service Providers: Banks, payment processors, shipping companies, or listing platforms to complete transactions.
- Buyers and Sellers: Contact details between parties for marketplace transactions, limited to necessity.
- Legal Entities: If required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights.

Links to external platforms follow their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices.

Our services are not intended for those under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.
