Privacy Policy

When you request a free website preview or contact us, you may share your name, phone number, email, and business name. This is collected through the contact form and SMS opt-in on our site. We may also collect basic, non-identifying technical information (such as browser type and pages visited) automatically as you use the site.

We use your information to build and deliver the free website preview, and to follow up with you about it. If you become a paying client, we use your information to run the automated systems included in the Website Management Plan (lead follow-up, review requests, chat, and appointment booking). We do not use your information to build, train, or improve generalized artificial intelligence or machine-learning models.

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access. Our service providers (such as website hosting and SMS carriers) handle your information only to deliver the services we have contracted them for. No system can be guaranteed 100% secure, but we work to keep your information appropriately protected.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share or sell your SMS opt-in information or phone number to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information with service providers who help us run the business — for example, website hosting, email delivery, and SMS carriers — but only as needed to provide the service, and under agreements that limit how they use it. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our legal rights.

We keep your information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service and meet our legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. SMS opt-in consent records and associated phone number data are retained for 5 years from the date consent is collected, in line with standard telemarketing recordkeeping practice. If you request deletion, we will remove your information where practical, though we may retain certain records as required by law or to complete outstanding work.

Our services are intended for business owners and adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 16, contact us at info@digitalhandyman.co and we will take steps to delete it.

Our site may link to third-party websites or services we do not control. This policy does not cover their privacy practices, and we are not responsible for how they handle your information. Check their policies before sharing personal information with them.

You can request that your data be deleted or opt out of future contact at any time by emailing info@digitalhandyman.co or replying STOP to any SMS we send. You can also update your contact details or communication preferences by email.

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on the site with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted confirms your acceptance of the updated policy.
