Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, as well as limited information automatically through our website.
Information you provide to us
- Contact information — your name, phone number, email address, and property address when you request a quote or contact us.
- Project details — descriptions of your home, gutter needs, timeline, and any photos you share.
- Communication content — the content of emails, texts, chat messages (including with our AI quote assistant), and voice messages.
- Payment information — credit card or check details when you pay for services (we do not store full credit card numbers).
Information collected automatically
- Usage data — pages visited, time on site, browser type, device type, and referring URL.
- Location data — approximate location based on IP address (city/region only, never precise GPS).
- Cookies — we use essential cookies for site functionality. We do not currently use advertising cookies or third-party tracking.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your quote requests and provide gutter installation services
- Schedule and coordinate project visits
- Process payments for services rendered
- Communicate with you about your project, warranty, or follow-up service
- Improve our website and services based on how visitors use the site
- Comply with legal obligations (tax records, contractor licensing requirements)
// What we do NOT do
We do not sell your information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising outside of our own services. We do not share your information with marketing companies. Your information is used for one purpose: providing you with gutter services and related communication.
How we share information
We only share your information in these limited circumstances:
- Service providers — companies that help us operate (website hosting, email service, SMS service). These providers are contractually required to protect your information.
- Legal compliance — if required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights.
- Business transfers — if Gutter Brothers is sold or merged, your information may transfer with the business, subject to the same privacy protections.
AI quote assistant
Our website offers an optional AI chat assistant (powered by Anthropic's Claude) to help you get a preliminary quote. When you use this feature:
- Messages you send are processed by Anthropic's Claude API to generate responses
- Conversations are logged by us so we can follow up on your request
- We do not use your chat data to train AI models
- You can use our traditional contact form instead at any time
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:
- Request a copy of the information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Opt out of certain communications
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We'll respond within 30 days.
California residents (CCPA)
If you're a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you specific rights regarding your personal information. We do not sell personal information. You have the right to request information about what we collect, how we use it, and to request deletion. Contact us at the email above to exercise these rights.
Note: Gutter Brothers only provides gutter installation services within Nevada. We do not cross the California state line for service.
Data retention
We retain your information for as long as needed to provide services and comply with legal obligations:
- Quote requests that don't result in projects: 2 years
- Active customer records: duration of relationship plus 7 years (for tax and warranty purposes)
- Website usage logs: 12 months
Security
We use reasonable security measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) on our website, limited employee access to customer data, and secure payment processing through established payment processors. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's privacy
Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we'll provide prominent notice (such as a banner on our homepage).
