Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 31, 2026
Notice at collection: HVAC FINDER collects the information described below to evaluate and deliver your requested HVAC-company introduction, operate and secure the service, measure performance, and maintain consent records. A matched HVAC company may pay us for the introduction.
1. Scope and operator
This policy describes how HVAC FINDER ("HVAC FINDER," "we," "us," or "our") handles personal information when you visit this website, submit a service request, or communicate with us. We are an independent marketing and matching service, not an HVAC contractor or emergency service.
2. Information we collect
- Service and property details: requested service, urgency, ZIP code, property type, system type and age, timeline, and the description you provide.
- Contact details: name, telephone number, email address, and preferred contact method.
- Consent and transaction records: submission ID, date and time, the disclosure shown at submission, and your affirmative agreement.
- Technical information: IP address, browser or device information, page requests, timestamps, referral information, and security logs received by our infrastructure providers.
Do not include payment details, Social Security numbers, passwords, government identifiers, medical information, or other information the form does not request.
3. Sources of information
We receive information directly from you, automatically from your browser and our hosting or security providers, and from advertising or referral partners when campaign parameters identify how you reached the website.
4. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- review, score, route, and respond to the service request;
- identify an HVAC company that may fit the request;
- make the requested introduction and support communications;
- operate, troubleshoot, secure, and improve the website;
- measure service and campaign performance and prevent fraud; and
- maintain records, enforce our terms, and comply with law.
5. How we disclose information
At your direction, we may disclose your request and contact details to one HVAC company at a time so it can evaluate and respond to the job. That company is an independent business and handles information it receives under its own privacy practices.
We may also disclose information to vendors that provide hosting, security, communications, analytics, lead delivery, and other operational services; to professional advisers; when required by law or needed to protect rights and safety; or in connection with a merger, financing, sale, or transfer of the service. We do not publish homeowner requests.
6. Compensated introductions
A participating HVAC company may pay HVAC FINDER for an introduction. Depending on the law where you live, a compensated disclosure may be considered a "sale" of personal data even though you requested it. We do not disclose a request to unrelated data brokers or a list of contractors. If you do not want the requested disclosure, do not submit the form. After submission, you may ask us to stop later disclosures, but we may not be able to retrieve information already delivered to a company.
7. Cookies and similar technology
The website and its infrastructure may use essential storage or similar technology for security, fraud prevention, preferences, and reliable operation. If advertising or analytics technology is added, this policy and any legally required controls will be updated before it is used.
8. Retention and security
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for request delivery, consent and audit records, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Retention varies by record type. We use safeguards appropriate to the information, but no online system is completely secure.
9. Communication choices
You may ask us or the matched HVAC company to stop marketing calls or emails. For texts, reply STOP when that option is provided. A request to stop future communications does not undo processing already completed at your direction.
10. U.S. state privacy rights
Depending on your state and whether the applicable law covers us, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a portable copy of personal information; to opt out of certain sales, targeted advertising, or profiling; to limit certain uses of sensitive data; and to appeal a denied request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.
We may verify your identity before responding. An authorized agent may act where allowed by law, subject to proof of authority and identity verification. We do not offer a financial incentive for personal information.
11. Children
The service is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the request form.
12. Third-party services and changes
This policy does not govern a matched company or third-party website. We may update it as the service or law changes. The date above identifies the current version; material changes will be presented as required by law.
13. Contact us
For privacy questions or requests, email privacy@hvacfinder.ai. Describe the request and the email address or telephone number used in your submission. Do not send additional sensitive information.
