- Provide & Improve Services – create and maintain websites, troubleshoot issues, and enhance user experience.
- Communicate – respond to requests, send updates, and deliver essential service notices.

We use first‑party cookies and comparable technologies (e.g., local storage, pixel tags) to:
- Remember site preferences;
- Measure traffic and usage patterns (via Google Analytics or a comparable privacy‑focused alternative);
- Secure our Services.
You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may limit certain features.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only:
- Service Providers – trusted vendors who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, payments) under strict confidentiality agreements.

7. Security
We use industry‑standard technical and organizational safeguards—including HTTPS, access controls, encryption at rest and in transit, regular vulnerability scanning, and least‑privilege principles—to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is 100 % secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are intended for business users over the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years old. If we learn we have collected such data, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided us information may contact us at hello@scrapyardsites.com.
9. Third‑Party Links
Our Site and demo projects may contain links to external sites or embedded services (e.g., maps, social media widgets). This Privacy Policy does not govern third‑party privacy practices. We encourage you to review the policies of any external site you visit.
10. International Transfers
We are based in the United States. If you access our Services from outside the U.S., you consent to transferring your data to and processing it in the U.S. or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate, which may have different data‑protection laws.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will post the revised version with a new “Effective Date” and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (e.g., email or prominent banner). Continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
