Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 August 2026

Shield Dumpster Rental Spartanburg ("we", "us", "our") operates shielddumpsterrental.com. Shield is a lead-generation and referral platform for dumpster rental services — we connect customers who submit an inquiry with independent, licensed local dumpster rental providers who fulfill the actual delivery, rental and pickup. We are compensated by a referral fee or commission from the providers we connect you with. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and who we share it with so that your request can be fulfilled.

Information we collect

Information you give us directly

When you call (864) 754-6073 or email us, or submit an inquiry through this website or its chat widget, we collect what you tell us: your name, phone number, service address, email address, and details about the job you need a dumpster for. We do not process or store payment card details on this website; any payment for an actual rental is handled directly between you and the provider that fulfills your request.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, ours records standard technical information through server logs and analytics: IP address, browser type and version, device type, referring page, pages viewed and time of visit. This is aggregate information used to understand which pages are useful and whether the site is working properly.

Chat and enquiry widget

This site includes a third-party chat and enquiry widget. If you use it, the information you type is transmitted to and stored by that provider on our behalf so that we, and the provider(s) we connect you with, can respond to your request. Do not enter payment card details, government identifiers or sensitive personal information into the widget.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies: strictly necessary cookies that make the site function, and analytics cookies that tell us how the site is used. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings; the site will still work, though some conveniences may not.

How we use your information

• To match your request with an independent local dumpster rental provider who can fulfill it, and to share the details of your request with that provider so they can contact you, quote you and schedule the delivery.
• To contact you about your inquiry and confirm you were connected with a provider.
• To respond to questions, complaints and service issues about the referral itself.
• To improve the website and understand which information customers actually need.
• To meet legal, tax and accounting record-keeping obligations related to referral compensation we receive.

Who we share information with

The core of what we do is sharing your contact and job details with the independent, licensed local dumpster rental provider(s) we believe can serve your address, so that they can reach out and fulfill your request — this is the fundamental purpose of submitting an inquiry through this site. We may also share information with: service providers who host this website or provide the chat widget, our accountant, and our insurers where a claim arises. All are bound to use the information only for the purpose we give it to them. We also disclose information where legally required to. We do not sell your personal information to data brokers or unrelated third parties, and we do not send it to anyone outside of fulfilling your dumpster rental request without telling you.

Referral compensation

Shield receives a referral fee or commission from the independent dumpster rental providers we connect customers with. This does not increase what you pay that provider; it is how we are compensated for operating this website and directing your request to a local provider. We disclose this arrangement here, in our Terms & Conditions and in our Disclaimer in the interest of transparency, consistent with FTC guidance on disclosing material connections and compensation in referral and endorsement relationships.

How long we keep it

Inquiry and referral records are retained for as long as reasonably necessary for accounting, tax and dispute-resolution purposes, generally up to seven years. Website analytics data is retained in aggregate form. Chat transcripts are retained by the widget provider under their own schedule.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS and access to customer inquiry records is restricted to staff who need it. No system is perfectly secure, and we will not pretend otherwise, but we take reasonable and proportionate measures for a business of our size.

Your choices and rights

You may ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it where we are not legally required to keep it or where it has already been passed to a provider to fulfill your request. Write to us at info@shielddumpsterrental.com or call (864) 754-6073. If you no longer wish to be contacted by us or by a provider we referred you to, tell us and we will pass that opt-out along and stop further referrals on your behalf. South Carolina residents, and residents of other states with applicable privacy legislation, may have additional rights, and we will honour them on request.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Third-party links

We link out to authoritative sources such as the City of Spartanburg, Spartanburg County, South Carolina and South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES). Those sites, and the independent providers we refer you to, have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content or practices.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be flagged on the homepage.
