Our Use of Cookies and Analytics

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixel tags, web beacons and other similar tracking technologies (“tracking technologies”) to automatically collect information through the services. Tracking technologies are essentially small data files placed on your computer, tablet, mobile phone, or other devices that allow us to record certain pieces of information whenever you visit or interact with our sites and services. We may use these tracking technologies to help identify irregular behavior, prevent fraudulent activity and improve security, as well as make it possible for you to save your preferences and help us understand how you interact with our site.

We also allow third parties to use tracking technologies on our sites for analytics and advertising.  They assist in helping display advertisements, tailor advertisements to your interests and to assist in determining if you require assistance or are having problems navigating on our sites.  Some of these third parties are our service providers that may use certain technologies to record your interactions with the sites, including without limitation, your keystrokes and mouse clicks, and information about when, how and from where you accessed our sites.  This information is used to help us manage our sites and provide a good user experience.  The service providers we use in this regard agree not to sell or disclose any of the recorded information to third parties (other than subcontractors who assist in providing this service to us or for legal compliance purposes at our direction).  Other types of  third parties use the tracking technologies to collect information about how you interact with other websites and advertisements across the internet to provide advertising that is tailored to your interests, and which may appear on our sites or on other websites or platforms.

Personal Information of Minors

Our products and services are not directed to minors under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly sell or share for purposes of behavioral advertising the personal information of minors, including minors under 16 years of age.

Do Not Track Signals

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. Please note that we do not respond to or honor DNT signals.  We observe the Global Privacy Control signal.

Third Party Websites and Social Media Buttons

Our sites may contain links to third party websites, including social media buttons that link to social media platforms. This Policy does not govern how those third parties or social media platforms collect or use personal information and we do not endorse or have control over their practices.  The privacy policies and terms of use for those third parties’ websites/apps or social media platforms govern those companies’ privacy practices. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any third-party websites or platforms.

How We Keep Your Personal Information Secure

We implement and maintain reasonable security appropriate to the nature of the personal information that we collect, use, retain, transfer or otherwise process.  However, there is no perfect security, and reasonable security is a process that involves risk management rather than risk elimination.  While we are committed to maintaining a reasonable information security program, no such program can be perfect; in other words, all risk cannot reasonably be eliminated. Data security incidents and breaches can occur due to factors that cannot reasonably be prevented.  Accordingly, it cannot be assumed that the occurrence of any given incident or breach results from our failure to implement and maintain reasonable security.

Changes to This Policy

We will review and update this policy from time to time.  If changes are made, we will update the privacy policy and reflect the date of such modification in the date above. If the changes are material, you will be notified via email or a notice on our website.

US State Data Privacy Rights

Consumer Rights Under Comprehensive US State Data Privacy Laws

We are subject to state privacy laws in California and Texas. These laws give state residents various rights with respect to many types of personal information we collect about them, with some exceptions.  The rights provided under these laws are similar in many respects, with some differences from state to state.  We list below the rights that may be applicable to our business under these laws:

Right to Know: The right to confirm whether or not we are processing a resident’s personal information and to access such data.  Laws in some states provide the right to know more detailed information.

• California’s privacy law gives residents the right to request the following additional information collected since January 1, 2022: Categories of personal information we have collected about them; categories of sources from which such personal information was collected; categories of personal information that the business sold or disclosed for a business purpose about the consumer; categories of third parties to whom the personal information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose; and the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information.

 

Right to Access / Copy: The right to access or request a copy of the personal information we have collected from the resident, subject to certain exceptions.

Right to Delete: The right to request deletion of their personal information that we have collected from or about the resident and to have such information deleted, subject to certain exceptions.

Right to Correct: The right to request that we correct inaccuracies in the resident’s personal information, taking into account the nature of personal data and purposes of processing such information.

Rights to Opt Out:  Various rights to request that we stop using the resident’s personal information for one or more of the following purposes:

• Sale of Personal Information: The right to request that we stop selling f their personal information, consistent with the definition of “sale” in each law.

 

• Targeted Advertising: The right to request that we stop processing their personal information for targeted advertising, subject to exceptions in some state laws. This is not a right that is specified under the California data privacy law.

 

• Sharing for Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising: California’s law provides the right to request that we stop sharing personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

 

Please note, California’s law is the only law that applies to all state residents, irrespective of the context in which they interact with us (e.g., a customer, a business contact, a vendor).  Laws in other states apply only to people when acting in an individual or household context.

California Shine the Light

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the “Shine the Light” law, permits California residents to annually request information about the personal information disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year.  To make a request, please contact us at https://bigdaddydumpsters.com/contact/.

Exercising Your Rights

We will respond to requests from residents of states with data privacy laws that apply to us and will do so with respect to the rights that are provided under the requestor’s state law as of the effective date of that law.  The laws in some states listed above may not be in effect as of the date of this privacy policy.

To exercise rights to know, access/copy, delete, correct, or know third parties to whom personal information is disclosed, contact us at 844-946-0775 or SUBMIT THIS FORM  We will provide a substantive response to these requests within 45 days of the date on which we receive your request. If we require additional information or time to process your requests, we will contact you.

To exercise opt-out rights, submit your request

Opt-out Preference Signals

An opt-out preference signal is sent by a platform, technology, or mechanism on behalf of consumers and communicates a consumer’s choice to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising with all businesses that recognize the signal, without having to make individualized requests.  The signal can be set on certain browsers or through opt-out plug-in tools.

We recognize the Global Privacy Control signal for California residents based on IP address and do so at the browser level and, therefore, it does not apply to personal information we may collect offline or that we may associate only with your name or email address.  This means that if the signal is sent through a specific browser, we will recognize it for that browser only, and only with respect to the identifiers for that browser.  If you would like more information about opt-out preference signals, including how to use them, the Global Privacy Control website has such information (https://globalprivacycontrol.org/).

We will respond to opt-out requests and requests to limit the use of sensitive information as soon as feasibly possible, but no later than 15 business days after receipt of your request.  If we require additional information or time to process your requests, we will contact you.

Exercising Your Rights Using Authorized Agents

Agents may submit opt-out requests on behalf of individuals under several state data privacy laws; this is not an option that is available under laws in Texas.  California residents can designate an agent to submit all other types of requests. If the agent submits an opt-out request on your behalf, the agent will need to provide us with your signed permission indicating the agent has been authorized to submit the opt-out request on your behalf.  Agents can submit opt-out requests

If you are a California resident and you use an agent to submit other types of requests, the agent will need to provide us with your signed permission indicating the agent has been authorized to submit the request on your behalf.  You will also be required to verify your identity directly with us or confirm with us that you provided the agent with permission to submit the request. Agents can submit requests on behalf of California residents (other than opt-out requests) here

Please note that this subsection does not apply when an agent is authorized to act on your behalf pursuant to a valid power of attorney.  Any such requests will be processed in accordance with state law pertaining to powers of attorney.

Verification of Requests

When you exercise rights other than opt-out rights. we will take steps to verify your identity.  We will ask you for at least two pieces of personal information, depending on the nature of the request, and attempt to match those to information that we maintain or collect about you.

If we are unable to verify your identity with the degree of certainty required, we will not be able to respond to the request.  We will notify you to explain the basis of the denial.

When We Do Not Act on a Request – Appeal Process

In some cases, we may not act on your requests (e.g., if we cannot do so under other laws that apply). When this is the case, we will explain our reasons for not providing you with the information or taking the action (e.g., correcting data) you requested.

Additionally, in some states, you have the right to appeal our decision by contacting us within 30 days after your receipt of our decision. We will provide additional details about how to appeal in our response to you.

Non-Discrimination

If you exercise any of the rights explained in this privacy policy, we will continue to treat you fairly.  If you exercise your rights under this privacy policy, you will not be denied or charged different prices or rates for goods or services or provided a different level or quality of goods or services than others.
