1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
When you fill out our contact form, request a quote, place an order, or communicate with us via email, you may provide the following information: your first and last name, company name, email address, phone number, mailing address (city, state, postal code), quantity and type of pallets needed, and any additional details you include in your message. We do not require all of these fields — only the information necessary to fulfill your specific request.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit pallets-used.com, our servers and third-party analytics tools may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time spent on each page, date and time of access, and device identifiers. This information is collected through standard web server logs and cookies (see our Cookies section below).
Business Information
For B2B transactions, we may collect business-related information such as your company name, tax identification number (for invoicing purposes), business address, accounts payable contact information, and purchase history. This information is necessary for fulfilling orders, generating invoices, and maintaining our business records.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure
GreenCycle Pallets does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers
We work with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing payments, delivering pallets, and managing our business. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only for the services they provide to us and to maintain appropriate security measures.
Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or prominent notice on our website of any change in ownership or uses of your information.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information when required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
4. Data Security
We implement reasonable and appropriate technical, administrative, and physical security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS) for all form submissions, secure server infrastructure with regular security updates, restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis, regular security assessments and vulnerability testing, and secure disposal of records containing personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
