1. Overview
B&K Auto Salvage & Recycling Inc. (“B&K,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates bandkautosalvage.com to provide information about recycled metal and scrap services, as well as employment opportunities. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information obtained through the Site.
2. Scope
This policy applies to information collected online through:
- Contact forms for recycled metal or scrap inquiries;
- Employment application forms;
- Server logs generated by our hosting environment (nginx).
It does not govern offline collection unless we specifically reference this policy at the time of collection.
3. Personal Information We Collect
| Category | Examples | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Name, phone number, email address, mailing address | User-provided via contact or employment forms | Responding to inquiries, providing quotes, coordinating services |
| Employment & Background Data | Work history, qualifications, driver’s license className, commercial vehicle experience, Social Security number | Job applicants via application forms | Evaluating candidates, verifying eligibility, complying with hiring laws |
| Internet / Network Activity | IP address, browser type/version, pages visited, timestamps | Automatically collected via nginx server logs | Site security, diagnostics, aggregate reporting |
| Other Information You Provide | Free-text fields, uploaded documents, additional notes | User-provided | Addressing the specific request submitted through the form |
We do not intentionally collect payment data, geolocation, biometric information, or data from tracking cookies or pixels.
4. How We Use Personal Information
- Respond to service inquiries, provide quotes, and coordinate pickups or drop-offs;
- Process employment applications, including lawful background or driving-record checks;
- Generate PDFs or printed documents needed to fulfill a request;
- Maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
- Comply with applicable laws and respond to lawful requests.
5. Legal Bases
While we serve U.S. users, the principal legal bases for processing include contractual necessity, legitimate interests (customer service, security, fraud prevention), legal obligations, and consent when you voluntarily submit information.
7. Data Retention
- Contact form submissions are retained only until the required PDF or printout is generated, typically no longer than one week.
- Employment applications are kept for the duration of the hiring process and any legally mandated record keeping period.
- Server logs follow our security log rotation schedule and are then purged.
If legal obligations require longer retention (e.g., pending claims or audits), we retain only what is necessary for that purpose.
8. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including HTTPS/TLS encryption, encrypted storage, role-based access controls, authentication measures, and secure deletion procedures. No system is perfectly secure, but we follow applicable breach-notification laws if an incident occurs.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, as well as to object to or restrict certain processing activities. You may also appeal any decision we make about your request.
Because we do not sell or share personal information, there is no need for a “Do Not Sell or Share” link.

13. International Visitors
The Site is intended for users located in the United States. If you access it from another country, you understand your data will be processed in the U.S., where privacy laws may differ.
