1. Information we may collect
Information you provide directly
If you use a website contact form, we may collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, subject and message. Please do not submit sensitive information that is not necessary for your inquiry.
Information related to provider-connection calls
When you call a phone number displayed on the website, call-routing or call-tracking technology may process information such as the calling phone number, date and time of the call, call duration, routing information and other call-related data. The independent provider or service used to route the call may also receive information you provide during the conversation.
Technical and usage information
Like many websites, our hosting, security, analytics or similar technologies may automatically process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address and timestamps.

2. Cookies and similar technologies
The website may use cookies, pixels, tags or similar technologies to operate site features, remember preferences, understand website traffic, measure performance, prevent abuse or support advertising and attribution where those tools are enabled.
Third-party analytics, advertising, hosting, call-routing or measurement providers may process information under their own terms and privacy practices. Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies, although doing so can affect some website functions.

4. How information may be shared
We may share or allow access to information when reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
Independent service providers
If you request a provider connection, information associated with that request or call may be made available to an independent pest-control provider so the provider can discuss your service needs directly with you.
Technology and business vendors
We may use vendors that support website hosting, security, analytics, communications, call routing, measurement, form processing or similar operational functions. These parties may process information on our behalf or according to their own applicable privacy terms.
Legal and safety reasons
Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, government requests, investigate misuse, protect rights or safety, or enforce applicable website terms.
Business changes
If the website or related business assets are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization or sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.

5. Independent providers and third-party websites
PestControlServicesNearby.com helps homeowners connect with independent providers. Those providers are separate businesses and may have their own privacy practices. Information you provide directly to a provider is subject to that provider's practices and policies.
The website may also link to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content or security of third-party sites.

6. Data retention
We aim to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to operate the website, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, satisfy legitimate business needs or meet applicable legal obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the systems involved.

7. Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature of the information we handle. However, no website, transmission method or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We also encourage users not to send unnecessary sensitive information through general contact forms.
