What we collect from you
Analytics, without cookies
We use Plausible Analytics. It sets no cookies and doesn't build a profile of you. It counts page views, where visits come from, outbound clicks and button clicks such as "Get bids", with the page and button as the only details. It never receives your name, email or phone.
Forms, through Makeform
Our "Get bids", "Confirm my profile" and advertising buttons open a form hosted by Makeform (makeform.ai). We get what you type into it, such as your name, email, phone, city and project details. The link carries only which button you clicked and, on a contractor card, that contractor's public license number. Nothing you type is put in a URL.
Who sees your request
When you ask for bids, your project details may be shared with licensed contractors so they can contact you about that project.
Hosting
The site is served through Cloudflare, which handles each request and may keep short-lived logs for security and abuse prevention.
What we publish about contractors, and what we don't
Contractor pages show public CSLB license records: business name, city, license number, classes, status, issue and expiration dates, bond, workers' comp, and the names and CSLB titles of the people listed on the license. Permit counts come from San Francisco and San Jose open data.
- No street addresses or ZIP codes. We show the city only, because many licenses list a home address.
- No phone numbers or email addresses.
- No personal details about the people on a license beyond the name and title CSLB lists.
- No reviews, ratings or complaint summaries.
Requests
To see, correct or delete what you sent through our form, send a new message through the same form and say it is a privacy request. If you run a listed company, license facts can only be changed at CSLB; for anything else, see for contractors.
Links to CSLB, city sites, Makeform and contractor websites lead to services with their own privacy policies.
