2. The information we collect

We collect information you give us when you:

  • Book a collection, order Saving Bins or arrange to send equipment by post: your name, company name, email address, phone number, collection or delivery postcode, billing address, details of the items you want to recycle, any asset list you upload and anything you write in the questions box.
  • Book secure data destruction or a laptop collection: the same contact details, plus the service you're interested in.
  • Join our email list: your first name and email address.
  • Phone us: your name, contact details and a note of what we discuss.

We don't ask for sensitive information, such as health details, so please don't include it in our forms.

Our website is hosted by GitHub Pages. Like most web hosts, GitHub records your IP address when you visit, to keep the service secure. We don't use this to identify you.

3. How we use your information

UK data protection law says we must have a lawful basis for each way we use your information. These are ours:

What we use it for Lawful basis

4. Data on the equipment you give us

Computers, phones, drives and other equipment often still hold data, which may include personal information about your staff or customers. We don't access, read or copy that data.

Every data-bearing device is securely erased with certified data erasure software, or physically destroyed, following National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) guidance, and you receive a certificate confirming it. Read more about how we erase data.

For this data, your organisation remains the data controller and we act as your processor, handling it only to destroy it. Please back up anything you need before we collect your equipment, as erased data can't be recovered.

5. Who we share your information with

We never sell or rent your personal information. We only share it when we need to, with:

  • service providers who help us run the business, such as our email, IT, website and online form providers [list them once chosen]
  • our accountants, insurers and professional advisers
  • regulators, the police or other authorities, where the law requires it.

If a provider stores information outside the UK, we make sure the safeguards UK data protection law requires are in place.

6. How long we keep your information

  • Booking records and Waste Transfer Notes: at least two years after your collection, as waste law requires.
  • Invoices and financial records: six years, for tax purposes.
  • Enquiries that don't lead to a booking: [12 months].
  • Email list: until you unsubscribe.
  • Data on your equipment: destroyed as part of our service. We keep only the certificate records.

7. How we keep your information safe

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including access controls, secure storage and staff trained in data protection. Equipment waiting to be processed is kept in secure premises. [Add details of your own security measures.]

8. Cookies

Our website doesn't use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers. If that changes, we'll update this notice and ask for your consent where the law requires it.

  • be told how we use your information (this notice)

  • have inaccurate information corrected
