Who runs this site
Junk Wax Museum is an editorial museum of the 1984 to 1993 junk-wax era, operated by Stephen Sullivan. Questions, data access requests, or deletion requests can be sent to privacy@junkwaxmuseum.com.
Data we collect
Junk Wax Museum does not directly collect any personal data from visitors. The site is a static publication and has no accounts, no login, no comments, no forms, and no analytics pixels operated by the museum itself.
The site is hosted by Netlify, which collects standard server logs for security and operational analytics purposes. Those logs typically include IP address, user agent, referrer, and timestamp. Netlify's handling of that data is governed by Netlify's Privacy Policy.
Cookies
Junk Wax Museum does not set any cookies of its own. Third-party services embedded on the site may set their own cookies when you interact with them:
- eBay Partner Network. When you click an eBay affiliate link on the site, eBay may set cookies to attribute the referral for commission tracking. eBay's handling of that data is governed by eBay's Privacy Notice.
- Social share destinations. Clicking a share button for X, LinkedIn, Reddit, or Bluesky opens the third party's site in a new tab. Their cookies and privacy policies apply once you leave Junk Wax Museum.
eBay content on this site
Prices, sample sizes, and other listing-derived data shown on card pages, the JW50 Index page, and the homepage ticker are pulled from the eBay Browse API. Refresh cadence and staleness disclosures are documented on the JW50 Index methodology section. Prices are refreshed approximately every 6 hours and may lag live listings by up to that interval.
Affiliate links
eBay links on this site are affiliate links tagged with the eBay Partner Network campaign ID 5339166200. No personally identifying information is passed to eBay through these links; only anonymous session and campaign attribution data is transmitted. Junk Wax Museum may earn a small commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you.
Children under 13
Junk Wax Museum is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact privacy@junkwaxmuseum.com so it can be removed.
Your rights
Rights available under the GDPR, the CCPA, and comparable regimes, including the right to access, correct, or delete personal data, are honored on request. Because Junk Wax Museum does not directly collect personal data, most requests will be forwarded to the relevant third party (typically Netlify for server logs). Contact privacy@junkwaxmuseum.com to file a request.
Changes to this policy
Material changes to this policy will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
