Inviting a junk removal company onto your property can mean sharing more than a name and phone number. Photos, access instructions, and conversations about a cleanout can reveal details about your home, family, or business. We treat that information with care and use it for the purposes explained in this Privacy Policy.

1 Who we are and what this policy covers

FortLauderdaleJunkRemoval.com, operating as Fort Lauderdale Junk Removal ("we," "us," or "our"), is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. Personal information means information that identifies you, relates to you, or can reasonably be linked to you or your household.

This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you visit our website, request a quote, send photos, communicate with us, schedule or receive services, make a payment, or otherwise interact with our business. It also explains your choices and how to contact us about your information.

Separate notices may apply to employment or contractor applications or to services with additional privacy requirements. This policy does not itself authorize marketing messages, call recording, or other activities that require separate consent.

2 Information you provide to us

Depending on your interaction with us, we collect the following types of information:

• Contact details, including your name, phone number, email address, billing address, company name, and preferred contact method.
• Service details, including the pickup address, items to be removed, estimated volume, requested dates, property conditions, parking instructions, stairs, elevator reservations, loading restrictions, and authorized on-site contacts.
• Property access information, such as gate codes, entry instructions, and coordination details for a property manager, condominium association, tenant, or other authorized representative.
• Photos, videos, and attachments you submit, which may show belongings, building interiors, identifying documents, people, or other information visible in the image. Files may also contain metadata, such as the time or location at which they were created.
• Communications, including quote requests, emails, text messages, voicemail messages, feedback, complaints, consent records, and notes about our interactions.
• Transaction information, including estimates, invoices, payment status, refund records, and payment-related information appropriate to the payment method you use.

Please provide only what is reasonably necessary for your request. A standard quote does not require your Social Security number, medical records, account passwords, or copies of financial statements. Please avoid including those details in messages or photographs.

3 Information collected automatically or from others

When you use the website, our website and hosting systems may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages requested, visit times, and error or security logs. An IP address may indicate an approximate location; it does not necessarily identify your exact physical location.

Depending on the website features enabled, cookies and similar technologies may also collect information about how you interact with pages, forms, and links. Section 6 explains these technologies and related choices.

We may receive information from someone arranging a service on your behalf, such as a family member, property manager, real estate professional, or business representative. We may also receive service information from an assigned hauling provider, payment status from a payment provider, or your inquiry from a platform through which you contact us. If you provide information about another person, please have authority to do so and share only what is needed.

4 How we use personal information

We use personal information as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to inquiries, assess items and access conditions, and prepare estimates.
• Schedule, coordinate, perform, and document removal services.
• Communicate about your request, arrival arrangements, service changes, invoices, and customer support.
• Coordinate with authorized personnel and service partners involved in your job.
• Process payments and refunds, maintain transaction records, and resolve disputes.
• Maintain and improve website functionality, troubleshoot problems, and understand service demand.
• Detect misuse, prevent fraud, protect people and property, and investigate incidents or claims.
• Send promotional communications when permitted by law and consistent with your consent and preferences.
• Comply with legal, tax, accounting, insurance, and recordkeeping obligations.

If we propose a materially different use that requires additional notice or consent, we will provide that notice or obtain that consent before proceeding.

5 Photos and privacy during a cleanout

We use submitted photos and videos to estimate the scope of work, plan labor and equipment, evaluate access, and communicate about your request. Job documentation may also help confirm which items were approved for removal, record property conditions, and address service questions or claims.

Sending a photo for a quote does not give us permission to publish it. We will obtain separate permission before using identifiable photos or videos of you, your property, or your cleanout in our advertising, website galleries, or social media. Declining publicity does not affect your ability to request or receive services.

For estate, hoarding, eviction, or other sensitive cleanouts, we limit internal discussion of personal circumstances to what is needed to arrange and perform the work, address safety issues, or meet legal obligations. You do not need to explain a diagnosis or family situation to request a removal estimate.

Before sending images, remove or obscure information that is unrelated to the job, such as account numbers, prescription labels, computer screens, children's faces, and identifying paperwork. If you send something sensitive by mistake, contact us so we can assess removal or restricted access, subject to legitimate recordkeeping needs.

6 Cookies analytics and advertising technologies

Cookies are small files that a website stores on your device. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, and tags. Depending on the features enabled, these technologies may support essential website functions and security, remember preferences, measure website performance, or measure and personalize advertising.

If analytics or advertising tools are enabled, their providers may receive identifiers and browsing information, such as IP addresses, device information, pages visited, referral sources, and interactions with our website. Advertising providers may combine that information with activity on other websites or services to measure advertising or display relevant ads.

You can use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking some technologies may affect website features. Where we provide a cookie preference tool, you can also use it to manage the choices it offers. Settings may need to be applied separately for each browser or device, and deleting cookies may reset saved preferences. Where applicable law requires consent for a technology, we obtain that consent before using it.

Some disclosures to advertising providers can be considered a "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" under state privacy laws even if no money is exchanged. Where those activities occur and applicable law gives you an opt-out right, you may exercise it through available website controls or by contacting us. Where legally required, we recognize applicable opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control. A standard browser Do Not Track setting is distinct from those legally recognized signals and should not be assumed to exercise every privacy choice.

7 Calls texts and email

When you ask us to contact you or communicate about a service, we use the contact details you provide to respond in a manner consistent with your request and any required consent. Communications may concern estimates, scheduling, access instructions, arrival updates, invoices, or customer support.

Requesting a quote, providing a phone number, or accepting this policy does not by itself enroll you in promotional text messages. If we offer promotional calls or texts that require consent, we obtain that consent separately. Consent to promotional messages is not a condition of purchasing services. Automated communications are subject to any notice and consent requirements that apply.

Message frequency varies with your requests, appointments, and any messaging program you join. Message and data rates may apply under your mobile plan.

You may opt out of text messages by replying STOP or by communicating your request through another reasonable method, including calling (754) 283-2799 or emailing info@fortlauderdalejunkremoval.com. You do not have to use a particular keyword to tell us to stop. We will honor revocation requests within the period required by law. You may receive a single non-promotional confirmation of your opt-out where permitted. We will not resume messages covered by your opt-out without new valid consent or another applicable legal basis.

For help with messages or to arrange another way to communicate about an active job, contact us at the phone number or email above. To stop promotional emails, use the unsubscribe link where provided or email your request. Opting out of promotional emails does not prevent separate non-promotional communications that are necessary and legally permitted, such as an invoice or a response you request.

We do not sell, rent, or share mobile phone numbers, mobile opt-in information, or text-message consent with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We may provide the limited information needed to operate our messaging services to providers acting on our behalf, such as messaging platforms and telecommunications carriers. They may use it to support message delivery and related service functions, not to market independently to you. Other sharing provisions in this policy do not authorize independent marketing with your mobile phone number, mobile opt-in information, or messaging consent.

8 Call recording and transcription

If we record or transcribe a live telephone conversation, we will provide notice and obtain any consent required by applicable law before recording or transcription begins. This policy alone is not consent to record a call. If you prefer another way to communicate, tell us or contact us by email. Voicemail messages you choose to leave may be stored and reviewed to respond to your inquiry.

9 When we disclose information

We disclose personal information only for the purposes described in this policy, as authorized by you, or as permitted or required by law. Recipients may include:

Providers supporting our business. Hosting, communications, scheduling, customer support, payment, bookkeeping, and other service providers may process information needed to perform their work for us. We require providers acting on our behalf to protect personal information and limit its use to authorized purposes.

People and businesses completing your job. If employees, contractors, or independent hauling partners are involved in a service you request, we may share the information needed to assess, schedule, or perform that service. This may include your name, contact details, pickup address, item photos, and relevant access instructions. Providing information for an assigned job does not authorize unrelated marketing. If a separate business will independently handle your request under its own privacy practices, we will identify that business and explain the referral before transferring your request.

People you authorize. We may communicate with an authorized family member, property manager, tenant, estate representative, or other contact about your job. Donation or recycling coordination may require limited information when you request documentation or authorize that coordination.

Legal and professional recipients. We may disclose information to insurers, accountants, attorneys, authorities, or other appropriate recipients when reasonably necessary for professional advice, a claim or dispute, a legal obligation, fraud prevention, or protection of people, property, and legal rights.

A business successor. Information may be disclosed during a proposed or completed merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of business assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections and applicable law. Such a transaction does not authorize a use inconsistent with applicable privacy commitments or consent requirements.

10 Payment information

Payment information collected depends on how you choose to pay. If you pay through a third-party payment provider, that provider processes the payment details you submit under its applicable privacy and security terms. We may receive information needed to reconcile the payment, such as your name, billing details, transaction reference, payment status, and limited payment-method details.

Please do not send full payment card numbers, card security codes, or online banking credentials through quote forms, photos, ordinary email, or text messages. Contact us for an appropriate payment method if you are unsure how to pay.

11 Personal information in items being removed

Computers, phones, tablets, printers, storage drives, smart devices, and paper files can contain personal or confidential information. Before removal, back up anything you need, sign out of accounts, remove storage media where appropriate, and arrange secure erasure or destruction of sensitive information.

Ordinary junk removal, recycling, or donation is not a certified data destruction service. Unless separately agreed in writing, our service does not include reviewing every item for confidential information, securely wiping devices, shredding records, or issuing certificates of destruction. Deleting files or performing a basic reset may not remove all recoverable data.

If you need special handling for confidential records or devices, discuss your requirements with us so we can explain available options and agree on any special handling before pickup. These precautions do not limit any responsibility we have under applicable law for information in our possession.

12 How long we retain information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including completing services, supporting customers, resolving disputes, meeting legal requirements, and maintaining appropriate business records.

Retention depends on the type of record and why it is needed. Quote details and job photos may be needed for follow-up, service documentation, or claims. Invoices and transaction records may be retained for tax and accounting purposes. Consent and opt-out records may be kept to demonstrate consent and respect your communication preferences. Temporary property access details are retained only while needed for authorized access or a related legitimate purpose.

When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete it, securely dispose of it, or deidentify it. Information in backups may remain until those backups are replaced or expire. Legal holds and other obligations may require longer retention of particular records.

13 How we protect information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the information we handle. We limit access to people and providers who need information for an authorized business purpose. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

If a security incident affects personal information, we will investigate and provide notices to affected individuals or authorities when required by applicable law. If you believe information shared with us has been exposed or misused, contact us promptly at info@fortlauderdalejunkremoval.com or (754) 283-2799.

14 Your choices and privacy requests

You may contact us to ask about the information we hold about you, request a correction or deletion, update your contact preferences, or raise a privacy concern. You may decline to provide optional information. If information is needed to estimate, schedule, or complete a service, declining to provide it may limit our ability to help with that request.

Depending on where you live, the law that applies, and whether our business is subject to it, you may have additional rights to access information, receive a portable copy, correct inaccuracies, delete information, withdraw consent, restrict certain uses of sensitive information, or opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling. These rights are subject to applicable conditions and exceptions. The availability of this website in a state does not by itself mean every privacy law in that state applies to our business.

Send requests to info@fortlauderdalejunkremoval.com or call (754) 283-2799. Please describe your request and provide enough information for us to locate relevant records. We may need to verify your identity or a representative's authority before releasing, changing, or deleting information. We will not require identity verification for an opt-out when applicable law prohibits it, and we will not request more information than reasonably necessary.

We will respond within any applicable legal deadline and explain a denial or limitation where required. If applicable law provides an appeal right, you may appeal by contacting the same email address and identifying the decision you want reviewed. You may also contact the appropriate privacy regulator or attorney general. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

Deletion may be limited when records are needed to complete a transaction, comply with law, address a claim, protect security, or maintain a record of your opt-out. We will explain applicable limitations when responding to your request.

15 Children and minors

Our website and services are directed to adults and are not intended for children under 18 to arrange services independently. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information directly from children under 13 through our website. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can review the matter and delete information or take other action as required by law.

16 Other websites and public content

Our website or communications may link to payment pages, maps, social media, review platforms, or other third-party services. Their privacy practices apply to information you provide directly to them. Review those policies before submitting personal information.

Reviews, comments, and photos you post publicly may be visible to others and collected by search engines or platform users. Please avoid posting private contact details, access codes, or sensitive information in public reviews. Our use of information received from a third party remains subject to this policy.

17 Where information is processed

Our services are focused on the United States. We and our service providers may store or process information in the United States or other locations where they operate. Privacy laws in those locations may differ from those where you live. Where applicable law requires safeguards for a transfer, we use the required safeguards. Visiting our website does not by itself supply any separate consent required for a transfer.

18 Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal obligations. The latest version will be posted on our website with an updated date. For material changes, we will provide additional notice and obtain consent when required by law. An update does not retroactively authorize uses that require additional permission.
