Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 15, 2026
Arizona Product Destruction (“APD,” “we,” “us”) does not sell or share your personal information. We use it only to respond to you and to keep this website working well. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through azproductdestruction.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have.
APD is a product destruction company based in Phoenix, Arizona, serving manufacturers, distributors, and retailers across the United States. This policy applies only to information collected through the Site. It does not cover information you give us by phone, email, or in person, information exchanged under a service agreement, or any third-party website we link to.
Information We Collect
We collect two kinds of information: what you choose to send us, and basic technical data collected automatically when you visit.
Information you give us. When you submit our contact or quote request form, we collect what you enter:
- Name and email address (required)
- Company name and phone number (optional)
- Your message, which may describe the products, quantities, and locations involved in your request
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we use Google Analytics 4 to collect general usage data, such as:
- Pages visited, time on page, and how you arrived at the Site (for example, a search engine or a link)
- Device type, browser, operating system, and screen size
- Approximate location (city or region level), derived from your IP address
- Site performance data, such as page load times and errors
Google Analytics 4 does not log or store full IP addresses. We do not use this data to identify you personally.
Our form also uses an automated spam-protection check to confirm submissions come from a person rather than a bot. This check may process technical signals from your browser for that purpose only.
What we do not collect. We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, health information, or biometric data through the Site. Please do not include sensitive personal information in form fields.
How We Use Information
We use the information you submit only to do business with you, including to:
- Respond to your inquiry or quote request, usually within 24 hours
- Prepare quotes, scope custom destruction solutions, and arrange pickup or delivery
- Follow up on work we are performing or have performed for you
- Keep records of our communications and services
We use automatically collected analytics data only to:
- Monitor Site traffic and understand which pages are useful
- Find and fix technical problems
- Keep the Site fast, secure, and working on different devices
We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not build marketing profiles. We will not add you to a mailing list unless you ask us to.
How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share it with other companies for their own marketing or any other purpose of their own.
We share information only in these limited cases:
- Service providers acting on our behalf. A few companies help us run the Site and receive your messages. Our web hosting company serves the Site, our form-processing service receives form submissions, and our email provider delivers them to our inbox. These companies handle your information only to provide these services to us and may not sell it or use it for their own purposes.
- Google Analytics. Usage data described above is processed by Google to produce our traffic reports. See Cookies and Analytics below.
- Referrals, only with your permission. If we can’t handle a specific job, we may suggest another company or one of our partner facilities. We will give you their contact information so you can reach out yourself. We will not give your information to another company unless you explicitly tell us to.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the safety of people or property.
- Business transfer. If APD is sold, merged, or transfers its assets, customer records may transfer to the new owner, who must continue to protect them under terms at least as protective as this policy.
Cookies and Analytics
The Site uses a small number of cookies, which are small text files stored in your browser. We use them only to measure how the Site is used. We do not use cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
| _ga_[ID] | Google Analytics 4 | Keeps track of a visit (session) | 2 years |
We have turned off Google Analytics advertising features, including Google Signals and ad personalization. To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Your options:
- Block or delete cookies through your browser settings. The Site will still work normally.
- Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to stop Google Analytics from collecting your data on any website.
- Turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser (see below).
Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of analytics, and Google Analytics will not load during your visit. Browsers’ “Do Not Track” setting has no agreed-upon standard, so the Site does not respond to it; you can use the options above instead.
Data Retention and Security
Retention. We keep form submissions and customer records as long as needed to provide service and meet legal, tax, and record-keeping requirements. Inquiries that do not lead to work are deleted after 24 months. Google Analytics data is kept for 14 months, then automatically deleted.
Security. We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, spam and bot protection on our forms, password-protected accounts, and limiting access to APD staff who need it. No website or online system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If a data breach affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by Arizona law (A.R.S. § 18-552) and any other state law that applies to you.
Your Choices and Requests
Wherever you live, you can contact us at any time to:
- Ask what personal information we have about you
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Ask us to delete your information
- Withdraw permission you previously gave us to share your information
To make a request, email us through our contact form with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request. We may keep some records if the law requires us to, such as records of completed destruction work, and we will tell you if that applies. We will not treat you differently for making a request.
Business Audience and Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for businesses and adults arranging product destruction, recycling, and logistics services. It is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Visitors Outside Arizona
APD is based in Phoenix, Arizona, and the Site is operated from the United States. We serve customers across the continental U.S., and we apply this policy to every visitor, wherever they live. Some states give their residents specific privacy rights. The requests described in Your Choices and Requests are available to everyone, and we will honor any additional rights your state’s law provides. The Site is not directed to people outside the United States.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our practices or tools change. We will post the updated version on this page and change the effective date at the top. If we make a significant change to how we share personal information, we will post a notice on the Site before it takes effect.
