Privacy Policy

01. Introduction

Welcome to TreeServicesNear.me (the "Website," "we," "us," or "our"). We operate a premium programmatic directory and reference resource that connects homeowners and commercial property owners with verified local tree care professionals.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit our Website, submit lead forms, or claim listing memberships, and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.

02. Information We Collect

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, including:

03. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect about you or that you provide to us:

• To connect you with qualified local tree care professionals in your geographical region.
• To administer, verify, and monitor business listing applications and claims.
• To improve, customize, and optimize the functionality and usability of our search tool and guides.
• To communicate with you regarding your lead requests, submissions, and website feedback.
• To comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Service, and defend against fraudulent activities.

04. Sharing with Professionals

To fulfill our purpose of helping you secure quality tree services, we share the project details you submit with our **featured partners and local contractors** who service your target ZIP code.

By submitting a lead form, click-to-call link, or quote request, you explicitly direct and consent to us transmitting your name, email, phone number, and service criteria to third-party professionals. They are authorized to contact you directly to discuss estimates.

We do not sell your personal contact information to generic spam list brokers. We only share data with service providers directly aligned with your request. However, once shared, that information becomes subject to the respective service provider's own privacy policies and guidelines.

05. Cookies and Tracking

Like most modern websites, we use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies (such as Google Analytics) to gather usage data. Cookies help us understand how users traverse the directory, which states or services are most popular, and how we can refine the search experience.

You can configure your browser settings to reject cookies or warn you when they are being sent. Note that if you disable cookies, some portions of the directory may not load or function correctly.

06. Security & Retention

We implement standard technical and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. However, no database transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute safety of your submitted data.

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to complete directory matching, handle user communications, maintain verification records, or satisfy legal mandates.

07. Your Choices & Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have specific data rights, including:

• Right of Access: You can request a summary of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Delete: You can ask us to erase or anonymize your personal information from our databases.
• Right to Correct: You may correct inaccurate listing data if you are a verified business partner.

To submit a request to exercise any of these options, please contact us at `support@treeservicesnear.me`.

08. Changes to Policy

We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make updates, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
