Description
IMPORTANT
The Box Tracker Portal plug in enables web visitors to order dumpster services from the private waste haulers who maintain the sites.  The plug in interacts with the Box Tracker API described here: https://www.dumpster.software/api/ under SSL.  Box Tracker is an enterprise solution for managing  waste hauling by providing services such as order management, and dispatch which the plug in is intended to facilitate.  The information is used exclusively by the company the visitor is explicitely patronizing to facilitate the service that the web visitor is explicitly requesting and is not transmitted, sold, licensed or even accessible by any third party. The plug in does not track the visitor and reports information provided only for the purpose of ordering dumpster services.
