Chuck's Picks — The Home Services Directory

    Privacy Policy

    Last updated: May 18, 2026

    Chuck's Picks ("we," "us," "our") operates this directory of home service companies. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

    1. Information we collect

    We collect three kinds of information:

    • Account info. If you create a business account, we collect your name, email, business details, and password (stored encrypted).
    • Public business info. Names, phone numbers, addresses, ratings, and reviews about listed businesses, gathered from public sources.
    • Usage data. Pages visited, device type, approximate location from your IP, referring site, and basic analytics events.

    2. How we use it

    • Run and improve the directory.
    • Verify and moderate business listings.
    • Respond to claims, support requests, and reports.
    • Process payments for paid listings (handled by our payment processor).
    • Measure traffic and improve site performance.

    We don't sell your personal data.

    3. Cookies and analytics

    We use cookies and similar tech to keep you signed in and to measure site usage. You can block cookies in your browser, but parts of the site (like signing in to a business dashboard) may not work.

    4. Service providers

    We share data only with vendors who help us run the site — hosting, authentication, payments, and analytics. They're contractually bound to use the data only for those services.

    5. Your choices

    • Update or delete your account info from your dashboard.
    • Email us to request a copy of your personal data, or to delete it.
    • Opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in any message.

    6. Business listings

    Business names, contact info, and review summaries shown on our pages come from public sources. If you own a listed business and want corrections or removal, contact us and we'll review promptly.

    7. Children

    The site isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them.

    8. Security

    We use industry-standard safeguards including encryption in transit and at rest. No system is perfect, but we work to keep your data safe.

    9. Changes

    We may update this policy. We'll change the "Last updated" date above and, for major changes, post a notice on the site.

    10. Contact
