We have adopted this Privacy Policy, which determines how we are processing the information collected by SourceRecycle, which also provides the reasons why we must collect certain personal data about you. Therefore, you must read this Privacy Policy before using SourceRecycle website.

We take care of your personal data and undertake to guarantee its confidentiality and security.

1. What Do We Do With Your Information?

At SourceRecycle, we are committed to protecting your privacy. As part of your recycling journey and participation in our green reward program, we collect limited personal information such as your name and phone number. This allows us to track your recycling activity and award Green Currency Points, which can be redeemed for rewards.

Providing additional details such as your email address and location is entirely optional and is used only to enhance your experience.

We do not track IP addresses, nor do we engage in email marketing or manual location tracking—our Smartboxes manage location validation securely and efficiently.

By downloading the SourceRecycle mobile app and submitting your information, you consent to its collection and use for tracking recycling activities and reward point allocations.

If we seek your information for any other purpose (e.g., marketing), we will ask for your explicit consent or offer you a chance to decline.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at:
