This policy explains what information Scrap Price Today collects when you use scrappricetoday.com, how it is used and the choices you have. The site is operated by Scrap Price Today from offices in the United States and the United Arab Emirates; contact details are at the end of this page.
Information we collect
- Server logs: our hosting provider records the IP address, browser type, pages requested and the time of each request, as almost every website does. These logs are used for security and to keep the site running.
- Messages you send us: when you email us, we keep the message and your contact details for as long as needed to answer it and to keep a record of corrections.
- Preferences: the light or dark colour scheme you choose is stored in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your device.
We do not run user accounts, and we do not ask for payment details, identity documents or the details of scrap you sell.
Cookies and analytics
The site itself does not set tracking cookies. If we enable an analytics service to understand which pages are read, it may set cookies or collect anonymised usage data; where consent is required by law we will ask for it before any such cookie is set. Caching and security services used by our host may set technical cookies needed to serve the site.
How we use information
- To deliver, secure and improve the website.
- To answer messages and handle correction requests.
- To understand, in aggregate, which pages and markets readers use most.
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it with advertisers.
Legal basis and international transfers
Where data protection law applies, we rely on our legitimate interest in running a secure website and answering enquiries, and on your consent for any optional analytics cookies. Because we operate from the United States and the United Arab Emirates and use hosting providers that may store data in other countries, information may be transferred outside your own country with appropriate safeguards.
Retention
Server logs are kept for a limited period set by our hosting provider and then deleted. Emails are kept as long as needed for the purpose you sent them and for our correction records.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict its use, and to complain to a data protection authority. Residents of the European Union and United Kingdom have rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR; California residents have rights under the CCPA. To exercise any of them, email info@scrappricetoday.com.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Third-party links
Guides and country pages link to exchanges, trade associations and government sites. Their privacy practices are their own; check their policies when you visit.
Changes
We will update this policy when our practices change and show the date of the latest revision at the top of the page.
