Information we collect:

When you interact with us through the Services, we may collect Personal Data and other information from you, as further described below:

Personal data that you provide through the services:

We collect Personal Data from you when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you contact us with inquiries, register for our Subscription Service or Request a Quote.

By voluntarily providing us with Personal Data, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data to the Services, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Data may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of Westchester Handyman and the authorized third parties referred to herein located in the United States.

Non-identifiable data:

When you interact with Westchester Handyman through the Services, we receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. Westchester Handyman may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by Westchester Handyman affiliates, agents or service providers. The Services may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, and the domain names of our visitors’ internet service providers. It is important to note that no Personal Data is available or used in this process.

In operating the Services, we may use a technology called “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts our Services gives to your browser when you access the Services. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Services and help us analyze Services usage more accurately. In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect Personal Data except with your permission. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Service features.

Analytics:

We may allow third party service providers to use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites following your use of the Services. For example, we may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help the website analyze how users use the Site and enhance your experience when you use the Service.

Our use of your personal data and other information:

Westchester Handyman uses the Personal Data you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Data in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by email, we will use the Personal Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide Personal Data in order to obtain access to the Services, we will use your Personal Data to provide you with access to such services and to monitor your use of such services. Westchester Handyman and its affiliates (the “Related Companies”) may also use your Personal Data and other personally non-identifiable information collected through the Services to help us improve the content and functionality of the Services, to better understand our users and to improve the Services. Westchester Handyman and its affiliates may use this information to contact you in the future to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, marketing communication we send you may contain instructions permitting you to “opt-out” of receiving future marketing communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future marketing communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us.

Our disclosure of your personal data and other information:

Westchester Handyman  is not in the business of selling your information. We consider this information to be a vital part of our relationship with you. There are, however, certain circumstances in which we may share your Personal Data with certain third parties without further notice to you, as set forth below:

As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event, Personal Data may be part of the transferred assets.

Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties:

Westchester Handyman, like many businesses, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include mailing information, maintaining databases and processing payments. When we employ another entity to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.

Legal Requirements:

Westchester Handyman  may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of Westchester Handyman, (iii) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Services or the public, or (iv) protect against legal liability.

Partnerships:

From time to time, Westchester Handyman may enter into partnerships with other home-related service companies (“Partners”) that pay for promotions that you may choose to use to repair or maintain your home using service providers of our choosing (“Special Offers”). We enter into such partnerships with Partners to save you money by qualifying you for discounts with these Partners. If you have chosen to accept a Special Offer, Westchester Handyman may disclose certain of your individual property attributes with Partners, including details of property components and the servicing of those components (“Data Sharing”). Our Partners have agreed not to negatively change price or terms targeted only at you.
