Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide when creating an account, listing a business, submitting a lead request, or contacting us. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company details, and service preferences.

2. How We Use Information

• To operate and improve the directory and matching services
• To send lead notifications and relevant communications
• To process payments via our payment processor (Stripe)
• To verify contractor credentials (licenses, insurance)
• To display public business profiles and reviews

3. Information Sharing

We share your contact details with contractors only when you submit a lead request. We do not sell personal data to third parties. We use Stripe for payment processing and Resend for transactional email — both process data under their own privacy policies.

4. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We use Cloudflare analytics (privacy-focused, no PII tracking).

5. Data Retention

Account data is retained while your account is active. You may request deletion by contacting us at privacy@hvacdatabase.com.

6. Security

We use industry-standard encryption (TLS), secure password hashing, and Cloudflare's global network to protect your data.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR, CCPA, or similar laws to access, correct, or delete your data. Contact privacy@hvacdatabase.com.
