Privacy Policy

Who we are

TheBinMap is a directory of liquidation bin stores, Amazon return stores, and restock schedules across the United States. The site is operated by Quantum Shield Labs LLC, a Maryland-based limited liability company. Throughout this policy, "we," "us," and "our" refer to Quantum Shield Labs LLC operating TheBinMap.

If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at privacy@thebinmap.com.

What information we collect

We try to collect as little personal information as possible. The data we do collect falls into three categories:

Information you provide to us

When you submit a store listing, claim an existing listing, or contact us through any of the forms on the site, we collect the information you enter. This typically includes your name, email address, and whatever message or listing details you choose to share. Form submissions are processed through Web3Forms, a third-party form delivery service, and forwarded to our internal email inbox.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we collect basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and how you arrived at the site (referring URL). This is used for analytics and site improvement.

Cookies and similar technologies

TheBinMap uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, including cookies set by third-party services such as Google AdSense and Google Analytics. These cookies are used to understand how visitors use the site, measure traffic, and display relevant advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though doing so may affect site functionality.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries and messages you send us
• Process and review store listing submissions and claims
• Understand how visitors use the site and improve it over time
• Display relevant advertising through Google AdSense
• Protect the site from abuse, spam, and security threats
• Comply with legal obligations when required

Third-party services we use

TheBinMap relies on several third-party services to operate. Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data:

Google AdSense

We display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. For more information on how Google uses data, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand visitor behavior. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they view, and what other sites they used prior. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.

Web3Forms

Contact, submission, and claim forms are processed by Web3Forms. Form data is transmitted to Web3Forms and then forwarded to our email inbox. See Web3Forms' Privacy Policy for their data handling practices.

Cloudflare

TheBinMap is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and protected by Cloudflare's network. Cloudflare may process basic request information (IP address, user agent) to deliver content and mitigate attacks. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these limited situations:

• With third-party service providers listed above, as needed to operate the site
• When required by law, court order, or valid legal process
• To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of users or the public
• In connection with a business transfer, such as a merger or acquisition, in which case we would notify users before information is transferred

Your rights and choices

You have several rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: You can ask us to correct inaccurate information.
• Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal information.
• Opt out of advertising: You can opt out of personalized Google ads at Google Ads Settings.
• Cookies: You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@thebinmap.com and we will respond within a reasonable time frame.

Data retention

We retain form submissions and contact messages for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry or process your listing. Analytics and AdSense data is retained according to the providers' own retention policies. If you request deletion of your data, we will comply within 30 days unless retention is required by law.

Children's privacy

TheBinMap is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us at privacy@thebinmap.com and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through a prominent notice on the site. Continued use of TheBinMap after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
