Information We Collect
Maine Plumbing Pros collects information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us for plumbing services. This typically includes your name, phone number, email address, physical address, and details about your plumbing needs. We gather this information when you call our office, submit a service request through our website, or send us an email. If you schedule an appointment, we may also collect additional details necessary to complete your service, such as property access information or specific instructions related to your plumbing system.
Our website also automatically collects certain technical information when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This data helps us understand how visitors use our site and improve its functionality. We do not actively seek to collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, financial account details, or health information.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide solely for the purpose of delivering plumbing services and communicating with you about your requests. Your contact details allow us to schedule appointments, dispatch licensed plumbers to your location, provide cost estimates, follow up on completed work, and address any warranty or service concerns. We may also use your information to send appointment reminders or notify you of delays if our technicians are running behind schedule.
With your explicit consent, we may occasionally contact you about seasonal maintenance reminders, special promotions, or service updates that we believe would be relevant to you as a homeowner or business owner in Maine. You may opt out of these communications at any time. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
Phone Call Handling
When you call Maine Plumbing Pros, your call may be recorded for quality assurance and training purposes. Recordings help us ensure that our customer service representatives provide accurate information, handle emergencies appropriately, and maintain professional standards. If your call is recorded, you will be notified at the beginning of the call, and you may request that recording be discontinued.
We retain call logs and recordings for a limited period, typically ninety days, unless a specific service issue requires longer retention. Phone numbers that contact us may be stored in our customer relationship system to help us recognize returning customers and maintain service history. If you prefer that your phone number not be stored, please inform our representative during your call.
