This is a plain-language placeholder provided during Taremint's pilot. It is not legal advice and will be finalized with counsel before general availability. Questions? Email hello@taremint.com.
Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
Taremint Inc. (“Taremint,” “we,” “us”) is a company based in El Paso, Texas that helps US–Mexico border scrap yards intake, reconcile, and report manifest data. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.
2. Information we collect
Account and contact details you provide — such as your name, work email, company/yard name, and the messages you send us through our forms.
Operational data you connect to the service — including WhatsApp and email manifests, scale tickets, vendor identifiers, weights, freight figures, and the documents attached to them.
Usage and device data — standard log information such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps, used to keep the service secure and reliable.
3. How we use your information
To provide the service: parse manifests, normalize them to the applicable state reporting standards (e.g., Texas DPS/TOM, Arizona AZDPS/LeadsOnline, New Mexico Recycled Metals), reconcile to your accounting system, and stage your reports.
To improve accuracy: corrections you make in the review queue are used to improve parsing for your account.
To communicate with you about your account, support requests, and the pilot, and to meet our legal and compliance obligations.
4. WhatsApp and manifest data
We only process messages from vendor numbers you approve at onboarding. Manifest content is used to produce your compliance and accounting records and is handled as your confidential business data, isolated per customer.
5. Service providers
We share data with vetted subprocessors strictly to operate the service — for example QuickBooks Online (accounting sync), Amazon Web Services (hosting and storage), and Resend (transactional email). We do not sell your data or share it for advertising.
6. Data retention
Compliance records may be retained on a write-once basis for up to seven (7) years to meet regulatory and audit requirements. Other data is kept for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, then deleted or anonymized.
7. Security
We use multi-tenant isolation, least-privilege access, encryption in transit, and per-customer storage separation. We are not yet SOC 2 certified; the platform is built to SOC 2 principles, and we intend to pursue certification. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and to notify you of material incidents as required by law.
8. Your rights and choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and you can export your data in QuickBooks-clean format on the way out. To make a request, email hello@taremint.com.
9. Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the product matures; we'll revise the “last updated” date above. For any privacy question, contact us at hello@taremint.com.
Terms & Conditions
1. Agreement
These Terms govern your access to and use of Taremint's website and services. By using the service you agree to these Terms. If you are using Taremint on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company.
2. The service
Taremint reads incoming manifests, normalizes them to applicable compliance standards, and helps you reconcile and report them. You are responsible for reviewing outputs before relying on them for filings or accounting.
3. Pilot / beta status
The service is offered on a pilot basis and may change, be interrupted, or contain errors. Features, pricing, and availability may evolve as we develop the product.
4. Acceptable use
Do not use the service unlawfully, attempt to disrupt or reverse-engineer it, upload content you don't have rights to, or use it to violate the rights of others.
5. Your data and ownership
You retain ownership of the data you submit. You grant us a limited license to process it solely to provide and improve the service for you, as described in our Privacy Policy. You can export your data on exit.
6. Fees
Paid plans are billed as agreed in your order or subscription. Pilot terms, if any, are set out separately in writing. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law.
7. Disclaimers
The service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. Taremint is a software tool and does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory advice. You are responsible for your own compliance determinations.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Taremint will not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to the amounts you paid to us in the twelve (12) months before the claim.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Venue for any dispute lies in the state or federal courts located in El Paso County, Texas.
10. Changes and contact
We may update these Terms; continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. Questions? Email hello@taremint.com.
Data Processing Addendum
1. Roles of the parties
For data you submit to the service, you act as the data controller and Taremint acts as the data processor, processing that data only on your documented instructions and as described in our Privacy Policy.
2. Scope and instructions
We process your data solely to provide the service — intake, parsing, normalization, reconciliation, reporting, and support. We will not use it for any other purpose, and we will inform you if we believe an instruction violates applicable law.
3. Subprocessors
You authorize Taremint to engage vetted subprocessors to operate the service, including QuickBooks Online (accounting sync), Amazon Web Services (hosting and storage), and Resend (transactional email). We impose data-protection obligations on each and remain responsible for their performance.
4. Security measures
We maintain technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk, including multi-tenant isolation, least-privilege access, encryption in transit, and per-customer storage separation. We are not yet SOC 2 certified; the platform is built to SOC 2 principles, and we intend to pursue certification.
5. Data-subject requests
We will assist you, taking into account the nature of the processing, in responding to requests from individuals to exercise their rights of access, correction, deletion, or portability.
6. Breach notification
We will notify you without undue delay after becoming aware of a personal-data breach affecting your data, and provide information reasonably available to help you meet your notification obligations.
7. Return and deletion
On termination, you may export your data in QuickBooks-clean format. We will delete or return your data thereafter, except where retention is required for compliance (for example, write-once records held for up to seven years).
8. International transfers
Where data is transferred across borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards and process it consistent with applicable law and this addendum.
9. Audit and contact
On reasonable request and subject to confidentiality, we will make available information necessary to demonstrate compliance with this addendum. For DPA matters, email hello@taremint.com.
