3. How We Protect Your Information

Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase, which provides enterprise-grade encryption and security.

We never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

• Service providers: Tools we use to run our business (email, scheduling, payment processing)
• Legal requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights

We will never sell your garage photos, contact information, or any personal data to advertisers or data brokers.

5. Your Garage Photos

When you submit photos through our quote request form, we use them solely to assess your garage and prepare an accurate estimate. Your photos are stored securely and are not shared publicly, used in marketing, or shown to anyone outside our team without your explicit permission.

• See your data: Request a copy of the personal information we have about you
• Fix your data: Ask us to correct any inaccurate information
• Delete your data: Ask us to remove your personal information from our systems
• Unsubscribe: Opt out of marketing emails at any time

To exercise any of these rights, just email or call us — we'll take care of it promptly.

7. Cookies

Our website uses basic cookies to keep things running smoothly (like remembering your session). We don't use invasive tracking cookies or sell cookie data to advertisers.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are designed for homeowners and adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information through our site, please contact us and we'll remove it immediately.

9. Changes to This Policy
