Last updated: January 1, 2026
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it safe. We're committed to being straightforward — no confusing legal jargon.

- Contact information: Your name, email address, and phone number
- Service address: The property address where service is required
- Service details: Description of the plumbing issue, requested service, and any relevant property information

We will never use your information for any purpose not listed here without asking you first.
4. Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information — ever.
We may share limited information with trusted service providers who help us operate our business, such as dispatch software, accounting platforms, or payment processors. These providers are contractually required to protect your information and may not use it for their own purposes.
We may disclose information if required to do so by law, or to protect the safety of our staff or clients.
5. Cookies & Analytics
Our website uses basic analytics tools to understand how visitors find and use the site. This may include cookies that collect anonymous data such as pages visited, time on site, and general geographic location (city level only).
We do not use advertising cookies or track you across other websites. You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting your ability to use our site.
6. Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as necessary:
- Active client records: Retained for the duration of our business relationship plus 3 years for warranty and legal compliance
- Quote requests: Retained for 1 year if no service results
- Marketing consent: Retained until you withdraw your consent
After the applicable retention period, your information is securely deleted.

- Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Correction: Ask us to correct any inaccurate information

No method of electronic transmission is 100% secure. While we do our best, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
