Modern Waste Solutions, Inc. ("MWS," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website at modernwastesolutions.com (the "Site"), how we use and share it, and the choices available to you.
This policy covers information collected through the Site. It does not cover data contained on devices, drives, or equipment that customers transfer to us for recycling, destruction, or deinstallation. That data is handled under the terms of the applicable service agreement and is addressed separately in Section 12 below.
Your use of the Site is also governed by our Terms and Conditions.
Modern Waste Solutions, Inc. is an electronics and battery recycling and data destruction company operating since 1999, serving customers throughout California and Northern Nevada. We are the party responsible for the information described in this policy.
We collect information you submit directly through the Site:
When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically by us and by the third-party services described in Section 9:
We also use Google call tracking. When you arrive at the Site through certain Google Ads campaigns, the phone number displayed to you may be replaced with a tracking number so that the resulting call can be attributed to the advertisement. Calls placed to such numbers are connected to our normal business line.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We and our providers use them to keep the Site functioning, to understand how the Site is used, and to support advertising.
Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site, including forms, from working correctly.
We run advertising campaigns through Google Ads and measure Site activity using Google Analytics. Tags are managed through Google Tag Manager.
By using the Site, you acknowledge that we run Google Ads campaigns and that information about your visit, including cookie identifiers and pages viewed, is collected and shared with Google for advertising measurement and remarketing. Remarketing means you may see our advertisements on other websites and services after visiting the Site.
You can opt out of personalized Google advertising through Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com, and you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data using the browser add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information in the following circumstances:
The Site uses the following third-party services, each of which may receive information about your visit and is governed by its own privacy policy:
We keep enquiry and quotation records for as long as needed to respond to you and to maintain business records, and longer where required for tax, accounting, regulatory, or audit purposes. Newsletter subscriptions are retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics and advertising data are retained according to the retention settings of the relevant Google service.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information collected through the Site, including encrypted transmission and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send sensitive information such as account numbers or government identifiers through the Site's forms.
Devices, drives, and equipment transferred to us for recycling, data destruction, or deinstallation may contain data belonging to our customers or to third parties. That data is not collected by us through the Site and is not covered by this policy.
Handling of that data, including destruction methods, chain of custody, certificates of destruction, and the allocation of responsibility between the customer and MWS, is governed by the written service agreement, work order, or quotation applicable to the engagement. Customers remain responsible for their own obligations in respect of data on equipment they transfer to us.

To make a request, contact us at support@modernwastesolutions.com or (916) 339-3676. We will verify your identity before responding, which may require you to confirm information we already hold. An authorised agent may submit a request on your behalf with written permission.
We aim to respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. Some information may be retained where an exception applies, for example where we must keep records for tax, regulatory, or audit purposes.
You can opt out of the sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising by contacting us using the details above, by adjusting your Google advertising settings, or by using a browser or extension that transmits the Global Privacy Control signal. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal as a valid opt-out request for the browser from which it is sent.
The Site is intended for business and adult use. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
The Site links to websites we do not control, including payment pages, review platforms, and social media profiles. This policy does not apply to those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing information to them.
