1. Information We Collect From Users
We collect information from users through multiple interactions, primarily when you complete our digital service request form or contact our customer dispatch line:
A. Personal Identification Information
We may collect personal identification information from users in various ways, including, but not limited to, when users visit our site, fill out a contact form, call our telephone numbers, and in connection with other activities, services, features, or resources we make available. Users may be asked for:
- Full Name

Users may visit our site anonymously. We collect personal identification information from users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain site-related activities, such as requesting a contractor match.
B. Non-Personal Identification Information
We may collect non-personal identification information about users whenever they interact with our site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, device type, operating system, Internet service provider, and other technical details regarding your connection to our site.
2. How We Utilize Collected Information
Roofing Company Somerville collects and uses users' personal information for the following specific operational purposes:
| Operational Purpose | Specific Data Use Description |
|---|---|
| Referral Dispatch and Matching | Transmitting your inquiry to a vetted contractor |
| Customer Service Inquiries | Calling you to clarify damage symptoms and timeline |
| Platform Performance Audits | Improving website loading speeds and usability |
| Fraud Prevention and Security | Protecting our platform against spam abuse |
- To Coordinate Contractor Referral Services: The primary reason we collect your contact details and property specifications is to transmit this information to a qualified, pre-screened independent roofing contractor operating in Somerville, Massachusetts. This enables the contractor to contact you directly to schedule an on-site inspection or provide emergency phone triage.
- To Improve Customer Service: Information you provide helps us respond to your customer service requests and support inquiries more efficiently.
- To Enhance Website Functionality: We may use feedback you provide to improve our website design, educational articles, and referral matching algorithms.
- To Maintain Operational Communication: We may use the telephone number or email address provided to respond to your inquiries, questions, or service requests.
3. How We Share and Disclose Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent users' personal identification information to unrelated third-party marketing companies, insurance lead aggregators, or unauthorized telemarketers.
Transmission to Independent Service Providers
When you submit a service request form or call our dispatch telephone number, you explicitly consent and authorize us to share your name, telephone number, email, address, and project notes with one or more independent roofing contractors participating in our local referral network. These third-party contractors receive your information solely for the purpose of contacting you regarding your specific roofing inquiry.
Independent contractors are separate business entities and maintain their own individual privacy policies. We encourage you to review their specific data handling policies when communicating with them directly.
Legal and Regulatory Disclosures
We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law, court order, governmental authority, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations or protect the rights, property, and safety of our users, the public, or our platform.

Users may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies or to alert them when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the site may not function properly.
We utilize privacy-focused analytics tools (such as Microsoft Clarity) to analyze aggregate user traffic patterns, session recordings, and click heatmaps. These tools do not record sensitive personal data and are used strictly to identify technical navigation errors and optimize user experience.
