The short version

  • You don’t need an account to use the site, and there are no comments.
  • Cloudflare protects the site and counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-focused, cookie-free visitor counting service. It doesn’t use cookies or track you across other sites.
  • If you use our contact form, your name, email address and message go to HighLevel, the customer-relationship service we use to answer messages. The form sets no cookies.
  • If you sign up for Trash Can of the Month, your email address goes to HighLevel, which sends the monthly email. You confirm by email first, and every email has an unsubscribe link.
  • We don’t use advertising trackers. We will update this policy before we add any.
  • We don’t sell or share your personal data for advertising.

What we handle and why

Security and delivery (Cloudflare)

Every visit passes through Cloudflare, which delivers the site and protects it from attacks and abusive traffic. To do that, Cloudflare processes your IP address and basic request details, such as your browser type and the page you asked for. Cloudflare may set security cookies to tell people from bots; see our cookie policy. Cloudflare also adds a small script that protects the email addresses shown on our pages from spam bots. Cloudflare’s own privacy policy applies to its processing.

Visitor counting (Cloudflare Web Analytics)

The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-focused, cookie-free visitor counting service. A small script from Cloudflare records page views and performance data, such as which pages are visited, the referring site, the browser and device type, the country, and how quickly pages load. It does this without cookies, without storing anything on your device, and without tracking you across other websites. We use these totals to understand which pages are useful and to keep the site fast. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for how Cloudflare handles this data.

Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted by a US web hosting provider. Like most web servers, its servers keep logs of requests, which can include the IP address, date and time, page requested, referring page and browser details. These logs are used for security and troubleshooting and are kept for a limited time set by the hosting provider.

Staff sign-ins

Some cookies are only set if you sign in to manage the site; visitors never receive them. See our cookie policy.

Links to retailers

When you click a link to a retailer, you leave our site. The retailer, and any affiliate network it uses, may set its own cookies on its own site to record that you came from us and whether you bought something. That data is handled under the retailer’s privacy policy, not ours. We may receive reports of commissions earned, but they don’t identify you to us.

Contact form (HighLevel)

Our contact page has a form. When you send it, our server passes your name, email address, the topic you chose and your message to HighLevel (GoHighLevel, run by HighLevel, Inc.), which we use as a service provider (processor) to store and answer messages. It creates or updates a contact record for you there, tagged as a website contact, saves your message with it, and emails a copy to our inbox. We use this only to reply to you and to keep a record of the conversation, and we keep it as long as needed for that. HighLevel’s own privacy policy applies to its processing.

To stop spam, the form has a hidden field that people leave empty, and our server counts messages from each IP address for one hour. It keeps only a scrambled (hashed) version of the IP address for that hour, not the address itself. The form doesn’t set cookies, doesn’t load any third-party script, and nothing you send is stored in our website’s database.

Trash Can of the Month email (HighLevel)

The site footer has a signup for Trash Can of the Month, one short email a month with the featured trash can. When you sign up, our server passes your email address to HighLevel, which creates or updates a contact record for you there and sends you a confirmation email. You are only added to the monthly email after you click the link in that email and press Confirm; until then your record is marked as unconfirmed, and if you don’t confirm we send you nothing else. Every monthly email has an unsubscribe link, and the confirmation email has one too. We use your address only to send this email, and we keep it until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

To stop spam, the signup has a hidden field that people leave empty, and our server counts signups from each IP address for one hour, keeping only a scrambled (hashed) version of the IP address. The signup doesn’t set cookies, doesn’t load any third-party script, and nothing you enter is stored in our website’s database.

Email you send us (Google Workspace)

If you email one of our addresses, we receive your email address, your message and anything you attach. We use it to reply and keep it as long as needed to handle your message and keep a record of it. Our email runs on Google Workspace, which stores these messages for us. Google’s own privacy terms apply to its processing.

What we don’t use

Apart from Cloudflare Web Analytics, the site doesn’t use any analytics, and it doesn’t use advertising or social media trackers. Our fonts and images, including the product illustrations, are served from our own site, not from third-party services. If we add other analytics, we will update this policy and our cookie policy first.

Who we share data with

Only the service providers named above, which process data for us to run the site, the contact form, the Trash Can of the Month email and our email: Cloudflare (security and cookie-free visitor counting), Google Workspace (email), HighLevel (the contact form and the Trash Can of the Month email) and our web hosting provider. We may also disclose data if the law requires it, or to protect the site and its users from fraud or abuse. We don’t sell personal data, and we don’t share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us what personal data we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have other rights under local privacy laws. Email [email protected] and we usually reply within 2 business days. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request. Data held by Cloudflare, our hosting provider or a retailer may need to be requested from them directly, and we will tell you if so.

Children

The site is not aimed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal data.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when what we collect changes, and change the date at the top.
