Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 June 2026
This privacy policy explains how BinSync processes personal data when you use this website, look up a waste collection schedule, subscribe to a calendar feed, leave an email address, or accept optional cookies. BinSync is built as a practical utility: it uses data to provide the service, keep generated calendar feeds working, understand whether the website functions properly, and improve the product.
BinSync only asks for data that is needed for these purposes. Personal data is not sold. Personal data is not used to build unrelated advertising profiles. Where optional analytics or conversion tracking is used, it is only loaded after you have given consent through the cookie banner.
1. Who is responsible for the processing
BinSync is responsible for the processing of personal data described in this privacy policy. For questions, requests, or privacy-related concerns, you can contact the maintainer through LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ihor-vovk.
2. Personal data BinSync processes
Depending on how you use the service, BinSync may process the following categories of data:
- postcode, house number, and any house number addition needed to find your collection schedule;
- the waste provider or municipal source connected to your address;
- calendar feed identifiers, feed settings, subscription tokens, and technical feed metadata;
- your email address, if you choose to provide it for reminders, notifications, or service settings;
- technical request data such as IP address, browser type, device information, timestamps, and logs;
- cookie preferences and optional analytics or conversion events after consent.
BinSync also stores lightweight postcode-to-provider mapping data. This helps route future lookups more efficiently. That mapping is used for service operation and is not intended to create a full personal profile.
3. Why the data is used
BinSync processes data for the following purposes:
- to identify the correct source for your waste collection schedule;
- to retrieve, show, generate, and update your personal calendar feed;
- to keep calendar subscriptions working over time;
- to send reminders, notifications, or service emails when you have provided an email address;
- to prevent abuse, troubleshoot errors, and maintain the security and reliability of the service;
- to measure website usage and advertising conversion performance when optional cookies are accepted;
- to improve the website, lookup flow, provider coverage, and calendar feed quality.
4. Legal bases
BinSync processes address and calendar feed data because it is necessary to provide the requested service. If you provide an email address, that data is processed to deliver the reminder, notification, or setting-related functionality you requested. Technical logs and security data are processed because BinSync has a legitimate interest in keeping the service stable, secure, and usable.
Optional analytics and conversion tracking cookies are processed on the basis of consent. You can refuse or withdraw that consent without losing access to the core schedule lookup and calendar feed functionality.
5. Sharing data with others
BinSync may send the address details needed for a lookup to the relevant waste provider, municipal source, or supporting integration in order to retrieve collection data. BinSync may also use hosting, database, email, analytics, and infrastructure providers that process data on behalf of the service.
Personal data is not sold. Personal data is only shared when necessary to provide the service, operate the website, comply with a legal obligation, or protect the service from misuse.
6. Cookies and analytics
The website uses essential cookies and local browser storage where needed to remember technical choices, such as cookie consent. These are necessary for the website to work correctly.
If you accept optional tracking cookies, BinSync may load analytics and conversion tools such as Google Analytics, Google Ads conversion tracking, and PostHog. These tools help understand how visitors use the website, whether advertising leads to schedule creation, and where the product can be improved. You can manage or withdraw optional cookie consent through the cookie controls on the website.
7. Retention
Personal data is kept no longer than necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Address and calendar feed data may be kept while a feed is active or while it is reasonably needed to maintain the service. Email data is kept while reminders, notifications, or related settings are active. Technical logs are generally kept for a limited period needed for debugging, security, and reliability.
If you ask for deletion, BinSync will delete or anonymize personal data unless it must be kept for a legal obligation, security reason, dispute, or other legitimate purpose.
8. Security
BinSync takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, and unlawful processing. No online service can guarantee perfect security, but the goal is to keep the amount of personal data limited and protect it in a way that matches the practical risk.
9. Your rights
You may have the right to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion of data, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability. You may also withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time.
To make a privacy request, contact BinSync through the contact link above. BinSync may ask for information needed to verify the request and connect it to the relevant calendar feed or email address.
10. Changes to this policy
BinSync may update this privacy policy when the service, integrations, cookies, providers, or legal requirements change. The most recent version is published on this page. If a change is important for active users, BinSync will make a reasonable effort to communicate it clearly.
