CONFIDENTIALITY
We will not be responsible for the privacy of data collected by websites not owned or managed by Fabulous Scrap Recycling, including any linked sites. We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. Sharing only happens when necessary:
- With trusted service providers who support scrap pickup, billing, or communications

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets, then data may be transferred as part of the transaction
DATA SECURITY
We use technical, physical, and organizational protocols to protect your data, such as:
- Encryption (e.g. SSL for online forms)
- Access controls—only employees or contractors on a need‑to‑know basis
- Measures for detecting and managing data breaches, with notification procedures when legally required
Please note: no system is completely foolproof; we encourage safe password practices, and you should notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
DATA RETENTION
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including paying invoices, compliance with accounting rules, and scrap dealer licensing. Retention periods take into account the sensitivity of the data, legal requirements, and legitimate business needs.
