This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect the information you provide when you visit our website or contact us. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

Information you submit through forms. When you use our contact or “Book An Inspection” forms, we collect the details you provide, which may include your name, email address, phone number, requested inspection date and time, the property address, and any message you send us.

Analytics and cookies. Like most websites, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site. This service may use cookies and similar technologies to collect standard, aggregated information such as pages visited, approximate location, browser type, and referring website.

Server logs. Our hosting infrastructure automatically records basic technical information, such as IP addresses, request times, and error logs, for security and diagnostic purposes.

We rely on trusted third-party services to operate our website. Form submissions are processed by Basin (usebasin.com), a third-party form-handling service that receives and forwards the details you submit so we can respond to you.
