4. How we may share information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with: service providers that help operate the Site or our business (such as web hosting, analytics, communications and payment providers); subcontractors or other tradespeople engaged to perform part of your project; professional advisors such as accountants, insurers and attorneys; government authorities, courts or law enforcement where required by law, subpoena or legal process, or to protect our rights, property or safety or those of others; and a successor in connection with any sale, transfer or reorganization of the business. We may also share aggregated or de-identified information that does not identify you.
5. Photographs of work
We may photograph completed work for our records and for promotional use on the Site, on social media and on review platforms. We make reasonable efforts to avoid including identifying details such as addresses, names, mail or personal items. If you do not wish for your project to be photographed or displayed, please notify us before or during the work.
6. Reviews
Reviews displayed on the Site are reproduced from third-party platforms as posted by their authors, including the display name those platforms show. If you authored a review and would like it removed from the Site, contact us and we will remove it within a reasonable time.
7. Text messaging
If you text us or provide your mobile number, you consent to receiving text messages from us related to your inquiry or project. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of further text messages at any time by replying STOP or by asking us to stop. We do not send marketing text messages without your consent.
8. Third-party sites and services
The Site links to third-party websites and services, including review platforms and payment applications. Those sites are governed by their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to review their policies before providing information.
9. Data retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, to maintain business, tax, warranty and insurance records, to resolve disputes, and to comply with legal obligations. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the context in which it was collected.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards intended to protect information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You transmit information to us at your own risk.
11. Your California privacy rights
If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended, including the right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources, purposes and categories of third parties with whom it is shared; the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to exceptions; the right to request correction of inaccurate information; the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising); and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information in the Site footer. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf.
12. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common standard for interpreting these signals, the Site does not currently respond to them.
