Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This policy explains what information My Local Tree Service collects, how we use it, how long we keep it, and how you can ask us about your data. We collect only what we need to connect homeowners with qualified, verified tree services.
What data we collect
We collect three main kinds of information, each tied to a specific purpose. We do not sell your personal information.
Homeowner quote requests
When you request a quote or contact a tree service through the directory, we collect the details you provide — such as your name, contact information, location, and a description of the work you need — so we can route your request to the relevant tree services.
Tree-service owner verification details
When a tree-service owner or manager claims or registers a business, we collect identifying and business information used to verify the listing — such as contact details, business identifiers, licensing or insurance information, and documents submitted for verification.
Contact submissions
When you send us a message through our contact page, we collect the information you include — such as your name, email address, and the content of your message — so we can respond and keep a record of your request.
How we use your data
We use the information we collect to operate the directory: routing homeowner quote requests to tree services, verifying business listings and their owners, responding to contact messages, maintaining the security and integrity of the platform, and improving the service. We do not use your information for purposes unrelated to running this directory.
How long we keep your data
We retain your information only as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected — for example, to route and follow up on a quote request, to keep a business listing verified, or to maintain a record of a contact message. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it, subject to any legal obligations to retain it.
How to make a data request
If you would like to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you — or have any privacy question — please contact us through our contact page. We will respond to your request as required by applicable law.
