Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

A Shred Away Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or contact us, how we use it, and how we keep it safe. Privacy is not just a policy for us — it is the entire foundation of our business.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information only when you voluntarily provide it to us — for example, when you fill out our contact or quote request form. The information we may collect includes:

• Your name (first and last)
• Email address
• Phone number
• City or town (for service scheduling)
• Type of service requested
• Approximate volume of documents
• Any additional details you include in your message

We do not collect payment information through this website. We do not require you to create an account to use our services.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information you provide is used solely to fulfill your shredding service request. Specifically, we use it to:

• Respond to your inquiry or quote request
• Schedule your on-site shredding appointment
• Contact you with information directly related to your service
• Provide a Certificate of Destruction following your service

We do not use your information for unrelated marketing, automated profiling, or any purpose beyond completing your requested service.

3. Information We Do Not Share

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal information with any third party. Your contact details and service information remain strictly between you and A Shred Away Inc. We never provide customer data to advertisers, data brokers, or any outside organization.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. Information submitted through our contact form is transmitted securely and stored only for the duration necessary to fulfill your service request.

5. Cookies & Website Analytics

Our website may use basic analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site — for example, which pages are visited most often. This data is aggregated and anonymous; it does not identify you personally. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes. You may disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without affecting your ability to use this website.

6. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (for example, social media profiles or industry organizations). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information through our website, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, request corrections, or ask us to delete it. To make such a request, please contact us using the information below. We will respond promptly.
