Use of Personal Information
We use the personal information we collect from you for the following lawful business purposes:
- To process and fulfill orders;
- To schedule and provide our services;
- To provide locally relevant service information or other information we believe will be of interest to you;
- To assist with our recruitment efforts;
- To respond to your inquiries;
- To analyze trends, administer the Site, and track users’ movements around the Site;
- To improve the Site and to make it more useful to visitors; and
- To otherwise provide other services through the Site.
We will not collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information we collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without providing you notice.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We may disclose your personal information to third parties for a business purpose as described below. We only make these business purpose disclosures under written contracts that describe the purposes, require the recipient to keep the personal information confidential, and prohibit using the disclosed information for any purpose except performing the contract. Otherwise, we do not sell, rent, lease, or “share” personal information, and will not disclose your personal information to third parties without your permission. The CCPA defines “sharing” as the disclosure of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Affiliates and Franchisees: Because we operate through local contractors and franchisees, we share your information with them as appropriate, such as to schedule and provide services as requested, to provide feedback, and so on. If you apply for a job through the Site, we collect that information either directly or via a third party tool and forward your application information to the contractor or franchisee that posted the job opportunity.
Service Providers and Contractors: We share your personal information with third party contractors and service providers that assist us in providing customer support, communicating with customers, and promoting our services, as well as third party contractors and service providers that provide other services to us relating to our services and/or the Site. For example, if you share credit card information for a purchase, that information is used by a third-party processor to fulfill the transaction.
In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed personal information for a business purpose to the categories of third parties indicated in the chart below.
