Who we are. ScrapBuyer (“we”) operates scrapbuyer.com.ph and buys metal scrap from corporate and institutional sellers in the Philippines. For privacy matters contact info@scrapbuyer.com.ph.
What we collect
Through the intake and accreditation-pack forms: company name, industry, site address, materials information, your name, role, mobile/Viber number, and company email. Automatically: standard server logs (IP address, pages requested) and — only if analytics is enabled — Google Analytics 4 events (form submissions, call/Viber clicks) under Google’s measurement policies.
Why we collect it (purposes)
To respond to your inquiry; to conduct KYC required of second-hand dealers under Philippine law (PD 1612); to prepare agreements, weigh tickets, invoices and official receipts (BIR requirements); to send documents you request (accreditation pack); and to maintain transaction records for audit and legal retention periods.
Legal bases & sharing
Processing rests on consent (you submitted the form), contract performance, and legal obligation (KYC, tax, and record-keeping laws). We do not sell personal data. We share it only with: our service providers (hosting, email) under confidentiality; and authorities where the law requires (e.g., BIR, law-enforcement requests made through lawful process).
Retention & security
Inquiry records are retained while relevant to an account relationship; transaction documents are retained per BIR and statutory periods. Data is stored on access-controlled systems; intake records live in our website database and company mailboxes with restricted access.
Your rights (RA 10173)
You may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data (subject to legal retention duties), object to processing, and lodge complaints with the National Privacy Commission. Write to info@scrapbuyer.com.ph — we respond within the periods set by the NPC’s rules.
