What this site collects when you ask for a snow plowing price in Grand Traverse or Leelanau County, where it goes, and how to have it erased.
Traverse City Snow Plowing is a referral service. Its only job is to pass your request to an independent snow contractor, who does any plowing, shoveling or salting as a separate, insured business.
You give this site enough detail to find a snow contractor for one property. That detail goes to the contractor matched to your request so they can call you and price the work. It is not sold, it is not rented out, and you can ask for it to be erased. The rest of this page fills in the specifics.
When you send the season price request, the site receives what you typed and chose: your name, a phone number, an email address, the property address or road, the community you picked, the kind of service you picked, your answer about whether anyone is living at the property this winter, and whatever you wrote in the message box. Alongside that, the form attaches the address of the page you sent it from and the time zone your browser reports. A hidden field used to catch automated spam is also sent; a person filling in the form never sees or fills it.
No payment information passes through this site at any point. Whatever you pay for plowing, you pay to the contractor.
The phone number published on these pages runs through a call-handling service. That service keeps a log of the number that called, when, and for how long, and voicemails left on it are recorded so the message can reach the right contractor. Calls themselves may be recorded for the same purpose and to check that requests are being handled.
The whole purpose of the form is an introduction, so your request is passed to the independent snow contractor chosen to handle it. That contractor is a separate business. Once they have your details, they use them to contact you about the property, and their own practices apply to what they do after that.
Beyond the contractor, your information is handled only by the companies that keep this site running: the web host, the email service that sends your confirmation, and the phone service described above. None of them is permitted to use it for anything else. This site does not sell, trade or rent personal information to anyone, and it does not hand lists to marketers.
Google Analytics runs on these pages to show which of them get read and how visitors found the site. It works with cookies and reports in aggregate, and it is not used to identify you. Ad blockers, browser tracking protection and Google’s own opt-out tool all stop it, and the site works the same with it blocked.
A request is kept while it is active and for a period afterward, because snow contracts renew every fall and a returning owner often wants the same property handled again. When it is no longer needed for that, it is deleted.
You do not have to wait. To have your details erased, use the contact page and say that you want your information deleted, or call the number shown on the site. The request will be honored, and the contractor who received your details will be asked to delete them too.
Children. The site is meant for adults who own or look after property. It is not aimed at anyone under 13 and does not knowingly collect their information.
Security. Every page loads over an encrypted connection, so what you type into the form is protected on its way to the server. No system is perfectly secure, which is one more reason the form never asks for anything financial.
Changes. If the way information is handled changes, this page will be rewritten to say so. The version on this page is the one in effect. The terms of use cover the rest of the relationship.
The form asks only for what a contractor needs to call you back about one property.
