Privacy Policy
How Repair Garage Door Charlotte collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, request a quote, or book a repair.
Quick answer
- We collect the information you give us directly (name, phone, address, email) when you request a quote, call our dispatch line, or fill out a contact form — plus basic technical data (like device and browsing info) automatically when you visit the site.
- We use that information to schedule and perform garage door repair and installation services, respond to inquiries, and improve our site and marketing.
- We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data with service providers (like scheduling, payment, and analytics tools) who help us run the business.
- Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data, or to opt out of certain tracking — see Section 8.
- Questions? Contact us any time — details are at the bottom of this page.
1Information we collect
We collect information in three ways: what you give us directly, what our systems collect automatically, and what we may receive from third parties who help us run our business.
Information you provide to us
- Contact and scheduling details: name, phone number, email address, and service address, when you request a quote, book a repair, or call our office.
- Service details: information about your garage door, opener, or the issue you’re reporting, so our technicians can prepare for the job.
- Payment information: if you pay online or over the phone, payment is processed by a third-party payment processor — we do not store full card numbers on our own servers.
- Communications: messages you send through our contact form, live chat, text messages, or email, including any details you choose to share.
- Reviews and testimonials: if you submit a review or testimonial, we may publish your name and comments with your permission.
Information collected automatically
- Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages viewed, referring URL, and time spent on the site.
- Approximate location: general location inferred from your IP address, used mainly to confirm you’re within our Charlotte-area service territory.
- Call data: if you call a phone number listed on our site, we may use call tracking to log the number dialed, call duration, and (with notice, where required) record the call for quality and training purposes.
Information from third parties
We may receive limited information from partners such as lead-generation services, review platforms (like Google or Yelp), or advertising networks, when you interact with our listings or ads on those platforms.

3Cookies & tracking technology
Like most business websites, we use cookies and similar technologies (pixels, tags, local storage) to run the site and understand how visitors use it.
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Required for the site and quote forms to function | Session cookies, form security tokens |
| Analytics | Understand traffic and improve the site | Google Analytics or similar |
| Advertising | Measure and manage ad campaigns | Google Ads, Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Pixel |
| Call tracking | Attribute phone calls to marketing sources | Dynamic number insertion / call tracking software |
| Chat & forms | Enable live chat or chatbot support | Third-party chat widget, if enabled |
You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of the site (like the quote form) from working correctly. [If you use a cookie consent banner plugin, describe it here, e.g.: “You can also manage your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer.”]
5Data retention & security
We keep customer and service information for as long as needed to provide services, meet legal, tax, and warranty recordkeeping requirements, and resolve disputes — then delete or anonymize it. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including secure hosting and restricted internal access. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.
6Third-party links & services
Our site may link to third-party sites (like Google Maps, review platforms, or financing partners). We aren’t responsible for the privacy practices of those sites — review their own policies before sharing information with them.
7Children’s privacy
Our services are directed to adults seeking garage door repair for their homes or businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we’ll delete it.
8Your privacy rights
North Carolina does not currently have a comprehensive state consumer privacy law in effect. However, depending on your state of residence, you may have rights similar to those below (for example, if you are a California resident under the CCPA/CPRA, or a resident of another state with a comprehensive privacy law):
Right to know
Ask what personal information we’ve collected, used, or shared about you.
Right to access
Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
Right to correct
Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
Right to delete
Ask us to delete personal information, subject to legal exceptions (like completed job/warranty records).
Right to opt out
Opt out of the sale/sharing of personal information or targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information.
Right to non-discrimination
We won’t deny service or charge different prices for exercising your privacy rights.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 12. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we’ll respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
9Do Not Track signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. There’s no industry-standard way to respond to these signals yet, so our site does not currently respond to them differently from any other browsing session.
10Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We’ll post the revised policy here with an updated “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be announced on our website.
