This policy covers how Renovo treats personal information that Renovo collects and receives, including information related to your past use of Renovo products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, e-mail address, job title, or phone and fax numbers, and that is not otherwise publicly available.

We will share your financial information via a secure Internet connection with our order-processing center for the sole purpose of processing your order or refund. You have right to refrain from giving us certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of all of our features. We use the information that you provide for to enhance the service, such as responding to your requests. However, you may not mask your identity by providing false or misleading information.

However, disabling the acceptance of cookies allows you to take full advantage of some of the best and most advanced features that we have to offer, and we recommend that you leave them turned on. We do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user’s session will be logged, but the user will remain anonymous to us.

2b. Web Beacons and Software. Renovo may use web beacons to access Renovo cookies inside and outside our network of websites and in connection with Renovo products and services. During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.

These companies may use your personal information to help Renovo communicate with you about offers from Renovo and our marketing partners. However, these companies do not have any independent right to share this information. We will respond to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We may share information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Renovo’s terms of use, or as otherwise required by law. We may transfer information about you if Renovo is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Renovo will provide notice before such information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Environmental Statement

Electronic Waste Recycling and Pollution Prevention

Renovo Electronics is committed to recycling all of our electronic and business waste to contribute to a better environment. We believe this is compatible with sound business practices. Renovo Electronics will:

• Require adherence to environmental laws, regulations, policies and procedures for our employees
• Require that our employees receive adequate and appropriate environmental training
• Verify our environmental management system by conducting periodic internal audits
• Avoid unnecessary generation of waste in order to reduce and prevent pollution
• Properly recycle all electronic scrap including mobile phones, wireless devices, chargers, and batteries
• Properly recycle all office and business waste, including cardboard, paper, light bulbs, and toner cartridges
• Strive for a “no landfill” policy in our activities
• Reduce energy use in our facilities

 Our processing generates electronic waste from un-sellable material, such as scrap handsets, batteries, chargers, cigarette lighter adapters and leather cases. We contract certified smelters to assure complete disposal of the material with little to zero impact on the environment. No E-waste goes to landfills directly or through intermediaries. No electronic scrap is shipped to "underdeveloped countries". Our certified recycling partners are likewise prohibited from sending e-waste to any country not belonging to the European Union or the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
