Scrapp Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 23rd 2023

Updates to this document will appear first at https://scrapprecycling.com/privacy – this page is a convenience overview only.

Welcome

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and share your personal information through our services.

It’s important that you read this entire policy, but here’s a summary to get you started:

Scrapp is your place to recycle right

We built Scrapp to be your place to recycle right. Whether you’re around the house, at the supermarket, or volunteering with your local community, Scrapp makes it easy to recycle right and positively impact the world around you.

Our “services” has the same meaning as defined in the Terms of Service. They include the Scrapp app, which can be accessed on mobile devices, the separation station, which is a service we provide direct to office and event spaces, and Scrapp for communities which is accessible via the mobile app as well as the web portal. We also have a website, blog, and support center, and we may collect your information through other means like surveys, emails, and social media to deliver the best experience possible. This information is never connected to a device’s scan history to create a “user profile.”

We may share content posted in public spaces but only after contacting the individual for their permission or accrediting their contributions. These features are important to us for building the Scrapp community, and we believe they will make Scrapp even better for our users. You should take all of this into account when you are using our services.

We make money from paid subscriptions and the sale of digital (and sometimes physical) goods, not from selling your personal information to third parties.

The information we collect

We collect certain information when you use Scrapp. This includes information you provide to us, information we collect automatically, and information we receive from other sources.

Information you provide to us

Information we collect automatically

We also collect information automatically from you when you use Scrapp. This includes:

We may receive information from cookies (small text files placed on your computer or device) and similar technologies. First-party cookies are placed by us (and our third-party service providers) and allow you to use the services and to help us analyze and improve your experience and the services. The services use the following types of cookies:

How we use your information

We use your information for the following purposes:

To fulfill our contract with you

For our legitimate business interests

To comply with our legal obligations

We retain and use your information in connection with potential legal claims when necessary and for compliance, regulatory, and auditing purposes. For example, we retain information where we are required by law or if we are compelled to do so by a court order or regulatory body. Also, when you exercise any of your applicable legal rights to access, amend, or delete your personal information, we may request identification and verification documents from you for the purpose of confirming your identity.

With your consent

We may also collect and use personal information with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time (mostly through our services directly), though note that you might not be able to use any service or feature that requires collection or use of that personal information.

To protect someone’s vital interests

We may collect or share personal data if we think someone’s life is in danger—for example, to help resolve an urgent medical situation.

How we share your information

Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as it is needed for the purposes for which we collected it. If your account is inactive for more than two years, we may delete it, and we may delete or anonymize any personal information associated with your account.

How we protect your information

We take a number of steps to help protect your information. All information sent within our services is encrypted both in transit and at rest. For example, we use Transport Layer Security (“TLS”) to encrypt text and images in transit. We also enforce technical and administrative access controls to limit which of our employees and contractors have access to nonpublic personal information.

How to Control Your Privacy

Manage cookies

To control how information is collected and used from cookies on the services, you can take one or more of the following steps:

If you disable or remove cookies, some parts of the services may not function properly. Information may be collected to remember your opt-out preferences.

International data transfers

We are based in the United States, and we process and store information on servers located in the United States & the United Kingdom. We may also store information on servers and equipment in other countries depending on a variety of factors, including the locations of our users and service providers. These data transfers allow us to provide our services to you. By accessing or using our services or otherwise providing information to us, you understand that your information will be processed, transferred, and stored in the U.S. and other countries, where different data protection standards may apply and/or you may not have the same rights as you do under local law. Data is stored in the country most relevant to you and can be stored in specific jurisdictions upon request.

When transferring data outside the EEA, we use standard contract clauses, and we rely on the European Commission's adequacy decisions about certain countries, as applicable, or other legally compliant mechanisms or conditions for suchdata transfer.

Certain local laws, such as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), require services to provide information about the information they collect,how they use it, and the lawful basis for processing it. We’ve described most of that already in the earlier portions of this Policy.
