Other Companies’ Use of Your Data:
While we control the data we collect and store, we do not control how Meta, Google, or other platforms handle your information on their systems. They may collect, use, or sell data about you according to their own privacy policies and terms. That activity is independent of and outside of our control.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely to conduct and support our business and our relationship with you. This includes:

4.1 Providing and Managing Services

  • To review and respond to form submissions and social/media messages
  • To provide quotes and recommendations
  • To create and manage bookings and appointments
  • To perform the Services you requested
  • To generate invoices, process payments, and send receipts

4.2 Customer Support & Communication

  • To follow up after services (e.g., satisfaction checks, maintenance advice, recommended follow-up services)
  • To send appointment reminders, confirmations, or changes

  • To detect, prevent, or respond to fraud, misuse, or security issues

5. We Do Not Sell Your Data

This is a core principle of our privacy policy:

  • We do not sell your personal information to third parties for money.
  • We do not sell your personal information to data brokers.
  • We do not sell your personal information so others can market their own unrelated services directly to you.

We may use third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors, booking systems, email/SMS tools, analytics tools), but they act on our behalf and are not allowed to use your data for their own unrelated purposes.

Important Distinction:
Other companies you interact with (for example, Meta/Facebook, Instagram, Google, or your email provider) may collect and use data about you in their own systems, potentially including advertising or selling aggregated or targeted segments. That activity is governed by their privacy policies and is outside our control. Our commitment is that we will not sell your data.

6. How We Share Information

We share your information only when necessary and in a controlled way:

6.1 Service Providers

We may share your information with trusted third parties that perform services for us, such as:

  • Website hosting and maintenance
  • Payment processing
  • Booking and scheduling tools
  • Email and SMS platforms
  • Analytics tools
  • Customer relationship management (CRM) systems

These service providers are only allowed to use your information to perform services for us and are not permitted to sell your data.

6.2 Business Transfers

If we engage in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will take reasonable steps to ensure your personal information remains protected.

6.3 Legal Requirements & Law Enforcement

We have a strict approach to law enforcement requests:

  • We will not voluntarily share your personal information with law enforcement or government agencies without a valid legal basis.
  • We will only disclose your information when required by law, such as in response to a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or similar legal process, or when we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is legally necessary to:
    • Protect our rights, property, or safety; or
    • Protect the safety of our customers or the public; or
    • Detect or address fraud or security issues.

We carefully review any law enforcement or government request and will comply only when legally required.

6.4 With Your Consent

We may share your information with other parties when you explicitly ask us to do so (for example, sending photos to a partner shop at your request).

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for:

  • Providing the Services you request
  • Maintaining records for accounting, tax, and legal purposes
  • Handling disputes, chargebacks, or claims
  • Complying with our legal obligations

When information is no longer needed for these purposes, we will delete or anonymize it where reasonably possible, subject to technical limitations and backup systems.

These measures may include:

  • Secure hosting environments and HTTPS for the Site

  • Use of reputable third-party providers with their own security standards

No system can be guaranteed 100% secure, but we take security seriously and work to protect your data from malicious parties.
