Privacy Policy
Effective date: January 1, 2026. Briony Portable Toilets ("Briony," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, how we keep it secure, and the choices you have. It applies to our website at portapottyinfargond.com, phone and email correspondence, quote requests, service scheduling, and any interactions with our rental operations across the Fargo-Moorhead region.
1. Introduction
Briony Portable Toilets is a locally owned portable restroom and sanitation service based in Fargo, North Dakota. We provide equipment and services to homeowners, event planners, construction contractors, municipalities, and businesses throughout the Red River Valley. In the course of quoting, delivering, servicing, and picking up equipment we necessarily collect a limited amount of personal and business information. We treat that information with the same care we expect for our own.
This policy is written in plain English so that customers, vendors, and website visitors can understand exactly what happens to their information. If any section is unclear, please contact us using the details at the end of this policy and we will be glad to explain.
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the information we need to answer your questions, deliver equipment, service accounts, comply with the law, and improve our website. The information we collect falls into a few categories.
2.1 Personal Information You Provide
- Full name and (where applicable) company or organization name.
- Phone number and email address so we can respond to quote requests and coordinate service.
- Delivery, billing, and service addresses.
- Project details such as event dates, expected attendance, jobsite duration, unit counts, and access notes.
- Payment information when you place an order, which is processed by our payment processors and not stored on our servers.
- Any additional information you choose to include in messages, notes, or attachments.
2.2 Technical Information Collected Automatically
- Device information such as browser type, operating system, screen size, and general device category.
- Network information such as IP address, referring URL, approximate city or region, and internet service provider.
- Usage information such as pages visited, time on page, clicks, and the path taken through the site.
- Log data such as timestamps, error reports, and requests to our servers.
2.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use a small number of first-party cookies and lightweight local storage entries to keep the site working correctly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. You can accept, refuse, or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, most of the site will continue to work, but some conveniences (such as remembering that you closed a notification) may be reduced.
2.4 Analytics
We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns — for example, which service pages are most useful or where visitors have trouble completing a quote request. Analytics data is used in aggregate and is not used to identify individual visitors.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To respond to quote requests, answer questions, and provide the products and services you ask for.
- To schedule delivery, servicing, and pickup of rented equipment.
- To process payments, issue invoices, and maintain accurate business records.
- To send transactional messages such as delivery confirmations, service reminders, and change notifications.
- To communicate about service issues, safety concerns, or account matters.
- To improve our website, marketing, and customer experience.
- To comply with our legal, tax, and regulatory obligations.
- To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only when it is necessary to run our business or when we are required to by law.
- Service providers. We share limited information with trusted vendors that help us operate — for example, hosting providers, payment processors, email delivery services, and dispatch or routing software. These providers are contractually required to use information only for the services they perform for us.
- Business partners. On occasion we work with equipment partners to fulfill a project that requires resources beyond our own fleet. Only the information needed to deliver that project is shared.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information when required to comply with valid legal process, protect our rights and property, prevent harm, or cooperate with law enforcement or regulators.
- Business transfers. If we are ever involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, customer information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the protections of this policy.
5. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we hold. These include encrypted connections (TLS/HTTPS) on our website, restricted access to customer records, secure password practices, regular software updates, and vendor security reviews. Payment information is handled by PCI-compliant payment processors and is not stored on our servers. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work hard to keep the risk low.
6. Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Quote requests and inquiries are typically kept for up to twenty-four months. Customer account, invoice, and service records are retained for the longer of seven years or the period required by applicable tax, accounting, and consumer protection laws. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
7. Children's Privacy
Our website and services are directed to businesses and adult consumers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, to request that we correct inaccurate information, to request deletion of information we no longer need, to opt out of marketing communications, and to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. We honor reasonable requests from all customers regardless of state of residence.
- Access and correction. Email us and we will confirm what information we hold and help you correct anything that is inaccurate.
- Deletion. Ask us to delete information we no longer need to keep, subject to legal record-keeping requirements.

9. Third-Party Services and Links
Our website may include links to third-party services such as maps, social media, or partner websites. Those services are governed by their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party sites.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we make material changes we will post the updated policy on this page with a new effective date. We encourage you to review the policy periodically.

Additional Detail On Our Privacy Practices
Information We Collect
When you request a quote, book a rental, or contact us for support, we collect the personal and business information required to serve you — typically your name, business name, phone number, email address, service address, and any project details you provide. We do not collect financial account information unless you elect to pay by credit card, in which case card data is handled by our payment processor and is not stored on our servers.
How We Use That Information
Customer information is used exclusively to deliver, service, and invoice the portable sanitation products you have rented from us. We may occasionally use your contact information to share service notices, seasonal reminders, or updates that directly affect your account. We do not sell, rent, or trade customer information to any third party for marketing purposes.
How We Protect That Information
Access to customer records is limited to the members of our office and dispatch team who need it to perform their job. Digital records are stored on password-protected systems with reasonable technical safeguards. Paper records containing customer information are shredded when no longer needed for tax, legal, or operational purposes.
Your Choices
You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or ask us to delete records that are no longer required for legal or accounting purposes. To make a request, email info@portapottyinfargond.com. We respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe.
Website Analytics And Cookies
Our website may use standard analytics tools that record aggregated, non-identifying information about page visits, referring sources, and general geographic region. This information helps us understand which service pages are most useful to our customers and improve them over time. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.
