Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

We collect information you choose to provide when you submit a form, contact us, request an estimate, schedule an appointment, or otherwise communicate with us. This may include your name, phone number, email address, project address, project type, preferred contact time, referral source, project notes, and appointment details.

We may also receive limited technical information generated when you use the website, such as browser type, device information, pages viewed, and general interaction data. This information helps us operate, secure, and improve the website.

How We Use Information

We use the information you provide only for legitimate business purposes connected to your request. Those purposes include:

• Responding to your questions and project inquiry
• Preparing a project estimate or proposal
• Scheduling consultations and project related communication
• Providing requested services and customer support
• Maintaining reasonable business records and protecting the security of our website and operations

We do not use project inquiry information to create advertising audiences or to market unrelated products or services.

Our Commitment Not to Sell or Share Your Information

German Smear Specialists does not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing, advertising, or commercial use.

We may use trusted service providers to receive form submissions, schedule appointments, host or secure the website, and operate our business systems. These providers may process information only as necessary to perform those services for us. Current examples include Formspree for form delivery and Acuity Scheduling for appointment scheduling.

Security and Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect the information we receive. No method of online transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your request, provide services, maintain appropriate business records, resolve questions, and meet legal or operational obligations.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to legal and operational requirements. To make a request, contact us using the information below. We may need to confirm your identity before completing the request.

If you receive an email update from us, you may use the unsubscribe option in that message. We may still send service related communication when needed to respond to an active inquiry or provide requested services.
