We provide home repair, maintenance, and remodeling services with a focus on quality workmanship, reliable communication, and transparent service. Our website address is https://handymankirk.com.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

We collect personal information only when you voluntarily submit it through our website forms, service requests, or direct inquiries. This information may include your name, email address, phone number, physical address or service location, a description of the work you need completed, and any images or files you choose to upload for project evaluation.

We collect this information solely for the purpose of understanding your project needs, providing accurate estimates, scheduling appointments, delivering services, and communicating with you regarding your inquiry or ongoing work. In some cases, images you submit help us better assess scope, materials, and preparation requirements before an on-site visit. We only collect information that is necessary to deliver handyman and remodeling services effectively and do not use this data for unrelated purposes.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

Contact Form

When you submit a contact form through our website, the information you provide is sent directly to us via email and may also be stored securely for customer service and project tracking purposes. We retain form submissions for up to 24 months unless a longer retention period is required for business, warranty, or legal reasons. The information you provide is used only to respond to your request and manage your project relationship, and is not used for marketing unless you explicitly request it.

Media (Images and File Uploads)

If you upload images through our website forms, these files are used solely to evaluate your project and provide estimates or service recommendations. We recommend avoiding images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as such metadata may be extracted from uploaded files. Uploaded media is stored only as long as necessary for project assessment and service delivery.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to improve functionality, support basic site features, and help us understand how visitors interact with the site. These cookies may store basic information related to your browsing experience and preferences. You may choose to disable cookies through your browser settings at any time, although some parts of the website may not function properly as a result.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics and Google Search Console to understand website performance and visitor behavior. These tools may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, time spent on the site, and referral sources. This information is used solely for website performance analysis, service improvement, and marketing insights. It is not used to personally identify visitors. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking using Google’s browser opt-out tool.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Pages on this website may include embedded content such as videos, maps, or images from third-party websites. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the external website directly. These third-party websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with embedded content in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Your information may only be shared with essential third-party service providers necessary for operating the website and delivering services, such as website hosting providers, email service providers, and analytics platforms like Google Analytics.

These providers are only permitted to process your data to the extent necessary to provide their services.

How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Contact form submissions and project-related communications are typically retained for up to 24 months for customer service and reference purposes. Uploaded images are retained only as long as needed for project evaluation or active service delivery. Analytics data is retained according to the default settings of the analytics provider.
