Privacy Policy

1.Introduction

Last updated September 2026

DDC BUCKWAY, LLC builds and runs the technology behind a working pit weighbridge and a depot tally desk on Pacific Avenue in Ogden. The Company designs computer systems that help regional haulage yards weigh bulk freight, print clean tickets and keep records a regulator can trust. This privacy policy explains what happens to personal information in the course of that work and on the Company website.

The service is designed and published under the developer name DDCBuckway. That same group operates the pages you are reading now. Where this document says the Company or DDC BUCKWAY, LLC, it means the business that keeps the deck at 4040 Pacific Ave, Ogden - 84405-1512, United States (US). The words we and our mean the same business unless the surrounding text clearly says otherwise.

The Company has written this policy to be read in plain English. It does not bury the answer at the bottom of a long shelf. If you arrive here with one question, the short answer is this: the Company collects only what it needs to weigh a load, answer an enquiry or keep a site working, it uses that data for the job it was gathered for, and it does not sell or hand over your personal details for someone else to profit from.

2.Who This Policy Covers

This policy applies to every person who touches the DDC BUCKWAY, LLC operation, whether online or at the physical depot.

• Visitors who browse the Company website at www.ddcbuckway.buzz.
• People who send a note through the contact page or by direct email to the desk.
• Drivers and haulage firms whose vehicles cross the Pacific Avenue weighbridge.
• Yard managers and their staff who book a scale test, a ticketing system or a depot review.
• Suppliers and contractors who work alongside the Company to keep the deck legal.

The same rules protect every one of these groups. If a piece of data can be traced back to a living person, the Company treats it as personal information and handles it with care, whether it arrived through a web form or straight off a weigh ticket.

3.Information the Scale Office Collects

The Company splits the data it holds into two clear shelves. The first is contact and identity data, which is the information that tells the office who is asking or who is hauling. The second is operational data, which is the record of what crossed the scale and when.

Neither shelf is gathered to build a profile of you or to sell you things you never asked for. Each record is collected for a defined job. For a weighing pass that job is weighing; for a web enquiry that job is answering; for a calendar booking that job is scheduling a test. When a purpose ends, the related record lives only as long as the law or the good running of the depot requires, and then it is retired.

4.Information You Provide Directly

You hand the most personal data to the Company yourself, usually through one of a handful of doors.

• Contact form submissions, which carry your name, your email address, a subject line and the message you write.
• Direct email to ask@ddcbuckway.buzz and phone calls to the desk number.
• Bookings for a weigh desk review or a scale calibration window, which may include a yard name and preferred dates.
• Paper weigh tickets and delivery notes that identify the driver, the haulage firm or the vehicle.
• Correspondence about a dispute or an insurance matter that involves a recorded load.

Choose carefully how much you add to an open email or a public message. The Company reads what you send so it can respond, and it keeps a working record of that exchange for the ordinary length of a business relationship. It does not recommend that you place sensitive details such as full identity documents in an email, because no email vault is entirely beyond reach.

5.Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, the hosting server records a reasonable set of technical facts simply by doing its job. Those facts commonly include the internet address your connection came from, the type of browser you use, the rough operating system, the pages you request and the times of those requests.

The Company uses lightweight tools such as privacy-respecting cookies only where they help the site run correctly or answer a question about the pages people actually use. It does not run advertising trackers across this site and it does not build a long history of your browsing to sell elsewhere. Where a wider web analytics route is used, the Company keeps the setting so that no visitor is identified by name.

6.Depot Weighing and Tally Records

The heart of the operation is not a website at all. It is a set of weigh tickets and manifest books, and those records often carry personal detail inside the operational numbers. A weigh ticket usually names nothing more than a vehicle identity and a weight, but when that ticket is tied to a delivery note or a driver account, the combined record can identify the person who moved the load.

The Company keeps these depot records for a purpose that any haulier understands immediately: to prove that a load weighed what it weighed. If a receiving site disputes a delivered tonnage or a regulator asks how a figure was reached, the answer must stand on dated paper. For that reason depot records are treated as business records as much as personal data, and they are protected and retained to match that dual nature.

7.How the Company Uses the Information

Every piece of data the Company holds is put to work for a specific, defensible purpose. Personal information is used, without being stretched into a shopping list of unrelated goals, for the following jobs:

• To run the weighbridge so every load that crosses the deck produces a true ticket.
• To answer the notes and calls that arrive at the desk.
• To keep the manifest and tally records complete enough to survive an audit.
• To schedule scale calibrations and weigh desk reviews around the quiet hours.
• To secure the systems so an unauthorised hand cannot change a stamped weight.
• To meet tax, safety and weights-and-measures obligations that bind the business.

The Company does not sell personal information. It does not rent a mailing list of drivers or yard leads to a third party for a fee, and it does not hand your contact details to marketers who never met you. Whatever the wider industry might do, this depot keeps that line closed.

8.Lawful Reasons for Processing

The Company processes personal information only when a lawful reason supports the work. Those reasons are the ordinary ones any well-run business leans on.

• Contract. Carrying out the task you asked for, from weighing a booked load to supplying a ticketing system under a service agreement.
• Consent. Where the Company asks your permission for a specific use, such as a marketing newsletter or a cookie beyond the essential set.
• Legitimate interest. Keeping the depot secure, preventing the corruption of weigh records and answering enquiries, weighed carefully against your rights and consistently overridden when a heavier right applies.
• Legal obligation. Holding figures that weights-and-measures rules, tax law and safety law require the business to keep.

Where the Company relies on consent for a particular use, that consent can be withdrawn as easily as it was given. Withdrawing consent stops the future use of the data for that purpose without unpicking the legal work already done.

9.Sharing and Disclosure

A weighbridge cannot run in a locked room. It works with a small circle of trusted partners, and each of them receives only the narrow slice of data the job demands.

• Hosting and software providers that keep the website and the ticketing platforms running.
• Weights-and-measures inspectors and other public bodies that review calibration records by law.
• Insurance and legal advisers when a weighing dispute or a claim needs a documented answer.
• The haulage firms and yard managers who are entitled to their own records and their own tickets.

Each partner is chosen for its handling of data, is bound to use the information only for the narrow job it was given and is told to keep it out of sight. The Company will not release a customer record to a random caller, and it will cooperate with a lawful warrant or a proper data-protection request in the way the law expects.

10.Cookies and Site Technologies

Cookies are small text files a website leaves on a device so the site can remember that the machine has been there. The Company keeps its use of them modest.

• Strictly necessary cookies that keep the site stable and that a request or a form depends on.
• Preference cookies that remember how you like the pages shown, such as a light or a calmer reading view.
• Measurement cookies that give an anonymous sense of which pages are read, set so they do not identify you as an individual.

You can decline cookies through your browser settings without losing the ability to read the pages or to contact the desk. The site remains fully usable when cookies are switched off, because the Company has designed it never to lean on a tracking chain to earn its keep.

11.How Long the Records Are Kept

Length of storage follows the reason the record was made, not a habit of hoarding. The Company sets out its windows in plain terms.

When the window closes, records are destroyed or stripped of the detail that identifies a person. The Company does not keep personal information for the sake of having it, and it retires data on a settled calendar rather than by accident.

12.Security of the Weigh Systems

Defending the numbers is not a secondary thought at this depot. A weigh ticket that a stranger can quietly change is worse than no ticket at all, so the Company treats the ticketing platforms and the manifest book with real care.

• Access to weigh systems is limited to crew who need it for the job.
• Records are protected at rest and in transit using current encryption standards.
• Calibration and ticket edits leave an audit trail that cannot be quietly erased.
• Servers and the depot machines are patched and watched for attempted breaches.
• Site data is backed up so a hardware failure never reads as a lost weight.

No system is beyond all risk, and the Company is honest about that limit. What it promises is care: measured, current and kept up to date, so the chance of a breach stays low and the effect of one stays small.

13.Your Rights Over Your Data

Privacy law across the territories the Company serves gives individuals a set of practical tools for their own information. Depending on where you live, you may be able to ask for any of the following:

• Access. A copy of the personal information the Company holds about you.
• Correction. A fix for anything that is wrong or out of date.
• Erasure. Deletion of data where no legal duty requires the Company to keep it.
• Restriction. A pause on further use while a dispute is settled.
• Portability. Your data in a common, readable form so you can move it.
• Objection. A stop to processing built on the Company legitimate interest, where the balance falls your way.

To use any of these tools, write to ask@ddcbuckway.buzz or call +14847337676. The Company will confirm it has heard you, verify your identity so the record does not land in the wrong hands and then act within the time the law allows. A request that is clearly yours will never be met with a fee for the asking.

14.Marketing Choices

The Company runs no pushy advertising machine, but it does occasionally write to people who asked to hear from it. Those notes are limited to depot business, such as an open calibration week or a change to the weighing service a yard already uses.

Every such message carries a simple way to step off the list, and stepping off takes effect without a fuss. You can also write to the desk and ask not to be contacted for marketing, and the request will be honoured for your records and your address. This consent sits apart from the essential messages the Company must send to run an active service, which continue regardless because the law requires them.

15.Privacy for Children

The scale office is a working place, and its services are not built for children. Weighbridge passes, depot bookings and ticketing systems are for haulage firms and adult staff who run a yard, not for young visitors, and the Company does not aim any part of the site at a child audience.

For that reason the Company does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age the law guards most strictly. If a parent or guardian believes that a young person has sent information to the desk by mistake, the Company will act on a quiet word from the desk contact in this policy, will remove the record where it can and will close the door so it does not happen again.

16.Third Party Links and Services

Occasionally the Company pages will point to the work of another firm, such as a haulage association, a weighing authority or a supplier that keeps the deck running. Once you leave www.ddcbuckway.buzz, the care of this policy stops at the gate.

Each of those outside services runs its own privacy policy, its own cookies and its own rules, and the Company cannot answer for them. Read what a third party says before you hand that site your details. The link is offered as a convenience, not as a claim that the target shares this depot view of privacy.

17.International Data Transfers

The depot sits in the United States at 4040 Pacific Ave, and much of the data the Company handles stays close to the yard it came from. Some technical work, such as hosting and secure backups, may rest in servers in other countries, because that is where a reliable partner keeps its hardware.

When a transfer crosses a border, the Company relies on a lawful route such as a recognised adequacy finding or standard contractual clauses that the destination agrees to uphold. Those agreements set the same standard of care on the far side of the border that the Company keeps at the gate, and they stay in force for as long as the partner holds the data.

18.California Privacy Rights

The business operates from Ogden in California, and residents of that state hold extra tools under state law. Those tools include the right to know what categories of personal information the Company holds, the right to ask that it be deleted where the law allows and the right not to be treated differently for choosing to exercise a right.

Within the working definition used by those laws, the Company does not sell personal information, and it does not share it for cross-context advertising. A California resident who wants to see, correct or delete the records that identify them can use the contact route in this policy, and the Company will respond within the window the law sets. Residents may also have a right against discrimination for making such a request, which this business does not practise.

19.Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers carry a setting that asks websites not to follow the reader as it moves from page to page. The Company pages do not run a cross-site tracking trail in the first place, so there is little to stop when such a signal arrives.

Because the site does not build a profile of its visitors and does not share browsing with advertisers, a Do Not Track signal changes nothing about your experience. You remain welcome on the pages, and your reading stays your own whether the signal is on or off.

20.How to Reach the Privacy Desk

Privacy questions are handled by the same hands that run the scale, and the Company wants those questions asked. Whatever you want to say, the door is open through the details below.

If you have asked the Company to fix or delete a record and you believe the answer falls short, you also hold the right to complain to the data protection authority where you live. A short note to the desk usually settles the matter faster, and the Company will always try that gentler road first.
