Using the check
The figures you type into the check stay in your browser. They are not sent to us. If you copy a link to your numbers, the figures are stored in that link, so anyone you send it to can see them.
The site sets no cookies and runs no tracking, analytics or advertising scripts. Our hosting company, Render, keeps standard server logs, which include IP addresses, for security.
When you ask for machine quotes
We collect your shop name, shop postcode, your name, phone number, email address, anything you add in the notes box, and the estimate from the check (nation, type of shop, floor area, urban or rural, drinks sold, expected returns and the result).
The form lists the reverse vending machine suppliers on the Exchange for Change certified list: Tomra, RVM Systems, EcoVend, Recyclever, Envipco, Sielaff and Ripet. You tick the ones you are happy to hear from, and we send your request to those suppliers only, so they can contact you with a quote. A supplier sees a summary without your name or contact details first, and gets the full request once it has agreed to our terms for handling it. A supplier may pay us a fee for the request.
Ripet is based in Italy and Sielaff's head office is in Germany, so ticking either may mean your details are handled outside the UK.
Our legal basis is your consent: we do this only because you ticked the box asking us to. You can withdraw it at any time by emailing us, and we will stop passing your request on and delete it.
We keep quote requests for 12 months and then delete them. Each supplier is responsible for how it uses your details once it has them.
When you sign up for rule change emails
We collect your email address and shop postcode and use them to email you when a rule for shops changes or a deadline is close. Our legal basis is your consent. Every email has a way to stop, and we keep your details until you ask us to stop.
When you contact us
We use your name, email address and message to reply. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering you. We keep the conversation for up to 12 months.
Who else handles your information
- Tally, a company in Belgium, which provides the forms, stores what you submit and emails us a copy. A form loads from Tally only when you open it.
- Render, a company in the United States, which hosts the site. Its server logs may be processed there.
- The machine suppliers you ticked on the quote form.
We don't sell your details to anyone else.
