Terms & Policies
Legal disclaimer
ByteBack STL (“we,” “our,” or “us”) provides electronic waste collection and recycling services to promote environmental sustainability. By participating in our programs or using our services, you agree that you are solely responsible for removing and securely erasing all personal or confidential data from devices before drop-off.
​
ByteBack STL is not responsible for any loss, misuse, or disclosure of data contained on donated or recycled items. All items are accepted “as is,” with no guarantee that they will be reused, refurbished, or recycled in a specific manner.
​
While we strive to process all materials in an environmentally responsible way, final disposition may vary depending on item condition, available processing methods, and applicable regulations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ByteBack STL and its affiliates are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the collection, handling, transport, or processing of materials.
​
We partner exclusively with certified recyclers and disposal facilities that comply with applicable federal, state, and local environmental regulations. However, ByteBack STL makes no warranty or representation regarding the actions of these third-party partners.
​
This disclaimer may be updated or modified at any time without prior notice. By participating in any ByteBack STL recycling event or drop-off program, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms.
Privacy Policy
ByteBack STL (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting any personal information you share with us.
​
We may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or other contact details when you voluntarily provide them. For example, when you sign up for events, request information, or make a donation. We use this information solely to communicate with you, provide services, and share updates about ByteBack STL activities. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to any third parties.
​
If you recycle electronic devices through ByteBack STL, you are solely responsible for removing all personal or confidential data from those devices before drop-off. While we partner with certified recycling facilities that follow secure processing practices, ByteBack STL cannot guarantee the removal or destruction of data that remains on donated or recycled equipment.
​
We may use aggregated, non-identifiable information to improve our programs, measure community impact, or meet reporting requirements for partners and grant providers. In limited circumstances, we may disclose information as required by law, regulation, or legal process.
​
ByteBack STL takes reasonable steps to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.​
By using our services or participating in ByteBack STL programs, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.
