Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 20, 2025

Hartsville Handyman ("I," "me," or "my") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you visit my website [www.hartsville-handyman.com] or submit information through my contact or estimate request form. This policy applies to my handyman services based in South Carolina.

1. Information I Collect

I collect the following personal information when you fill out my estimate request form:

  • Name

  • Phone number

  • Email address

  • Details about the service you need (e.g., type of repair, preferred date)

I may also automatically collect basic website usage data (e.g., IP address, browser type) through Squarespace, my hosting provider, but this is not used to identify you personally.

2. How I Use Your Information

I use your information to:

  • Contact you to provide an estimate, schedule a job, or follow up on your request.

  • Respond to your inquiries or confirm details about your project.

  • Improve my services (e.g., understanding which repairs are most requested in Hartsville).

3. Sharing Your Information

I do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties, except in the following cases:

  • If I refer you to a licensed specialist (e.g., a plumber or electrician) for work I don’t handle, I may share your contact details with them, but only with your consent.

  • If required by law (e.g., to comply with a legal request).

4. How I Protect Your Information

I take reasonable steps to protect your data, including:

  • Using Squarespace’s secure platform for form submissions.

  • Storing your information in a password-protected system accessible only to me.

  • Not keeping your information longer than necessary (typically 12 months after your last interaction, unless you request otherwise).

5. Your Rights

As a South Carolina resident, you can:

  • Request to see the personal information I’ve collected about you.

  • Ask me to delete your information (unless I need it for legal or service purposes).

  • Contact me at [your email] or [your phone number] to exercise these rights.

6. Third-Party Services

My website is hosted by Squarespace, which may use cookies or analytics tools to track basic site usage (e.g., how many visitors I get). See Squarespace’s Privacy Policy (https://www.squarespace.com/privacy) for details on their practices. I don’t control these tools but limit their use to basic site functionality.

7. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Check back periodically.
