What we collect

Messages you send us through the contact form: name, email and message.
Quote requests, when that feature opens: the job details, ZIP code and contact details you choose to send, and the pros you pick.
Tool inputs stay in your browser. Your chosen area is saved in your browser only.
Usage data from analytics (pages viewed, device, approximate location), and cookies used for analytics and, later, advertising.

How we use it

To reply to you, to send your quote request only to the pros you chose, to improve the site, and to show ads where they appear.

Sharing

[Attorney: list categories of recipients: chosen pros, analytics and ad providers, payment processor, service providers.] We do not sell contact details to anyone you did not choose.

Your choices

You can opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information on our Do Not Sell or Share page. We honor the Global Privacy Control signal. [Attorney: state-specific rights, EEA/UK consent for ads, retention periods, contact for requests.]

Analytics and cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages and calculators are used. It is loaded with the Google tag (gtag.js) and sets first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_<container>, which help distinguish a returning browser from a new one. We do not use analytics to identify you personally, and we do not sell or share the data with advertisers.

You can block analytics cookies in your browser settings, in private browsing mode, or with Google's opt-out browser add-on. Blocking them does not affect the calculators, the directory or the forms.

If you submit a quote request, the details are handled as described in the "what we collect" section above. Analytics events are separate from the form data and do not include your name, phone number or email.
