This Privacy Policy explains how Motion Metals collects, uses, stores, and protects information submitted through this website, account features, quote forms, career forms, email communications, and related online services. By using this website, submitting information, requesting a quote, creating an account, uploading product files, or contacting Motion Metals, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy.

Motion Metals is the public brand and trade name used for our industrial parts sourcing business. Motion Metals helps U.S. dumpster manufacturers, repair companies, distributors, fabricators, and industrial buyers evaluate cost-effective sourcing options for dumpster parts, metal hardware, casters, hinges, rollers, chains, drain plugs, D-rings, custom components, and related products.

Information We Collect

Motion Metals may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including your name, company name, email address, phone number, city, state, delivery location, position or job title, account login information, quote request details, product requirements, order volume, current or target cost information, drawings, photos, specifications, dimensions, sample references, shipping requirements, messages, resume files, LinkedIn or portfolio links, and other information you choose to submit through the website or by email.

When you browse the website, certain technical information may also be collected automatically, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring pages, approximate location derived from technical data, time spent on the site, form submission activity, and other analytics or security-related information.

How We Use Information

Motion Metals may use collected information to respond to inquiries, prepare quotes, review part requirements, evaluate landed-cost opportunities, coordinate with manufacturing partners, process sample or production discussions, communicate with buyers, manage account access, improve website performance, review career applications, prevent spam or misuse, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, and provide customer service.

Information submitted for quote requests may be used to understand the part, match or source comparable products, estimate pricing, determine feasibility, communicate with manufacturing or logistics partners, and clarify specifications before sample review, production, or shipment.

Product Drawings, Photos, Specifications, and Uploaded Files

If you upload or send product photos, drawings, dimensions, current supplier references, target cost details, or other technical information, Motion Metals may review that information internally and may share relevant portions with manufacturing, sourcing, logistics, quality, or service providers as reasonably necessary to evaluate or fulfill your request. Please do not submit confidential or proprietary information unless you are authorized to do so and understand that additional confidentiality protections may require a separate written agreement.

Buyer-provided information should be accurate, complete, and legally permitted to share. Motion Metals is not responsible for inaccurate quotes, delays, or unsuitable sourcing recommendations resulting from incomplete, outdated, incorrect, or unauthorized information provided by a buyer.

Account and Login Information

The website may use Netlify Identity or other authentication tools to support login, registration, account access, dashboard features, password reset, and related user management functions. Account-related information may be processed by Netlify or other service providers that help operate the website and authentication system. If account features are made available, users are responsible for keeping their login credentials secure and for notifying Motion Metals if they believe their account has been accessed without authorization.

Forms, Email, and Electronic Communications

When you submit a form or send an email to Motion Metals, you consent to receive communications from Motion Metals electronically. These communications may include quote follow-ups, questions about product requirements, sample or production discussions, order-related updates, career application responses, account notices, and other business communications related to your request.

If you provide a phone number, Motion Metals may contact you by phone or text message for business-related purposes, including quote clarification, application follow-up, order coordination, or customer service. Message and data rates may apply. You may request that Motion Metals stop sending non-essential text communications by replying STOP or by contacting us at sales@motionmetals.net.

Third-Party Service Providers

Motion Metals may use third-party providers to host the website, process forms, manage authentication, support email communications, provide analytics, store uploaded files, process applications, manage customer communications, and operate business systems. These providers may process information only as needed to provide their services or as otherwise permitted by their own terms and privacy policies.

Examples of providers may include website hosting platforms, form processing tools, authentication services, analytics providers, email providers, storage providers, logistics support providers, and manufacturing or sourcing partners. Motion Metals is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party websites or services linked from this website.

Sharing of Information

Motion Metals may share information with manufacturing partners, sourcing partners, logistics providers, quality review resources, service providers, contractors, professional advisors, legal authorities, or other third parties when reasonably necessary to respond to a request, evaluate a quote, coordinate sourcing, protect the website, comply with legal obligations, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, or operate the business.

Motion Metals does not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging personal information for money. Motion Metals also does not intend to share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If this changes, Motion Metals will update this Privacy Policy as required by applicable law.

Manufacturing and International Sourcing Communications

Because Motion Metals works with overseas manufacturing and sourcing partners, information related to products, specifications, drawings, photos, dimensions, quantities, packaging requirements, and shipping needs may be shared internationally when necessary to evaluate or fulfill a quote request or order. Motion Metals aims to share only the information reasonably needed for the sourcing, quoting, sample review, production, inspection, packaging, or delivery process.

Career Applications

If you apply for a role, internship, or opportunity with Motion Metals, we may collect information such as your name, email, phone number, city and state, work authorization response, experience information, resume, portfolio or LinkedIn link, and other application materials. Motion Metals may use this information to evaluate your application, contact you about opportunities, conduct interviews, and maintain recruiting records.

Data Retention

Motion Metals may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to requests, maintain business records, support customer relationships, evaluate recurring orders, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce terms, or operate the business. Quote-related information may be retained to support repeat orders, specification history, future sourcing comparisons, or account support.

Security

Motion Metals uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information submitted through the website. However, no website, email system, file upload, authentication system, or internet transmission is completely secure. Motion Metals cannot guarantee that information will be free from unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, misuse, or alteration.

Your Choices

You may contact Motion Metals to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information, subject to legal, contractual, operational, and recordkeeping limitations. You may also request that Motion Metals stop sending non-essential communications. Some business, transactional, security, legal, or order-related communications may still be necessary even if you opt out of marketing communications.

State Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable state privacy laws, such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, portability, or information about certain data practices. Motion Metals will review privacy requests in accordance with applicable law. To submit a privacy request, contact sales@motionmetals.net.
