We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data while it is stored.

To decide how long to store your Personal Data, we consider:


✅ The type and sensitivity of the information

In the event of a data breach, we will take appropriate measures to notify affected individuals and authorities as required by law.

Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal, allowing users to request that websites do not collect or track their online activity. However, there is no industry-standard approach for websites to respond to DNT signals, and Bay Junk does not currently recognize or respond to them.

Even though we do not respond to Do Not Track signals, you can control how your data is collected by:

✅ Adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
✅ Managing third-party cookies through your browser preferences.
✅ Using privacy-focused browser extensions that limit tracking.
