Ground Preppers ("Ground Preppers," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to GroundPreppers.com and describes the information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
Information you provide
We may collect information you submit through an estimate request, email, telephone call, or other direct communication, including:
- Your name, email address, telephone number, and preferred contact information
- A property address, city, or general project location
- Property conditions, approximate project size, access information, and intended land use
- Contractor, company, or organization information
- Photographs or documents you choose to provide
- Communications, estimates, approvals, and other project-related records
Please do not send Social Security numbers, financial account credentials, medical information, or other sensitive personal information through the website or ordinary email.
Information collected automatically
Our hosting provider and website systems may automatically record limited technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, referring page, requested pages, access time, and diagnostic or security logs. If analytics or nonessential cookies are enabled, this policy and any required cookie notice should be updated to identify those services.
How we use information
We may use information to:
- Respond to questions and estimate requests
- Evaluate project location, access, scope, and equipment suitability
- Schedule assessments and communicate about potential or active work
- Prepare estimates, agreements, invoices, and business records
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website
- Detect spam, fraud, misuse, or security incidents
- Meet legal, insurance, accounting, and regulatory obligations
- Send service-related communications
We will not add you to promotional email campaigns merely because you requested an estimate. If we later offer optional marketing messages, they will include the choices required by applicable law.
How we disclose information
We may disclose information only as reasonably necessary to:
- Hosting, email, technology, accounting, payment, mapping, and other service providers working on our behalf
- Subcontractors, suppliers, or professional advisers involved in evaluating or performing requested work
- Insurers, legal advisers, government authorities, or law enforcement when reasonably required by law, safety, or protection of rights
- A successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of business assets
We do not sell personal information for money. We do not disclose personal information for unrelated third-party marketing without permission.
Cookies and third-party services
The website may use essential cookies for security, forms, and basic operation. Links to maps, social networks, payment providers, or other third-party websites are governed by those providers' own privacy practices. If an online toolkit store is added later, the checkout provider's privacy policy will also apply to information processed through checkout.
Data retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including responding to inquiries, maintaining project and accounting records, resolving disputes, preventing abuse, and meeting legal or insurance requirements. Estimate requests that do not become projects may be deleted or anonymized when they are no longer reasonably needed.
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures appropriate to the information we maintain. No website, email system, transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your choices
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you previously provided. We may need to retain certain records where required for contracts, accounting, fraud prevention, insurance, legal compliance, or the establishment or defense of claims. You may also disable cookies through your browser, although essential website functions may be affected.
Children's privacy
This website and our services are intended for property owners, contractors, and other adults. They are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may revise this policy as our website and services change. The effective date at the top will identify the current version. Material changes may also be announced through the website when appropriate.
Contact us
Questions or privacy requests may be submitted through the website's Request an Estimate page. Ground Preppers may ask for reasonable verification before acting on a request involving personal information.
