This Privacy Policy describes the information Got Stumps LLC ("we," "us," or "our") may receive when someone visits gotstumpsllc.com or contacts us about services. We operate as a local stump grinding and tree service business serving the Fenton and greater St. Louis, Missouri area.
Information we receive
When you contact Earl by phone or text, you may choose to share information such as:
- Your name, phone number, and details of your inquiry.
- A property address or general job location if needed to evaluate or schedule work.
- Photos or videos of stumps, trees, landscaping, or other work areas that you send by text.
- Information related to estimates, scheduling, services, and communications.
This website currently uses call and text links rather than an online quote-submission form. When you tap those links, your phone or messaging application handles the communication.
Website and technical information
Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically process basic technical information, such as an IP address, browser type, requested pages, and access times, to deliver the website, maintain security, and troubleshoot errors. The version of the website described here does not include an advertising pixel or a separate analytics tracking script. If those technologies are added later, this policy should be updated to describe them and any consent requirements.
How we use information
We use information provided to us to answer questions, review job photos, discuss estimates, coordinate appointments, perform requested services, communicate about a project, maintain ordinary business records, and address safety or legal obligations. Contacting us about a job does not automatically sign you up for promotional text messages.
When information may be shared
We may share information with service providers as needed to operate the business, such as website hosting, phone or messaging providers, or professionals assisting with business administration. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect people, property, or our legal rights. We do not offer an online customer-data marketplace or sell information collected through this website.
Job photos and project images
Photos you send for an estimate are used to understand and discuss the requested work. We do not treat a texted photo as permission to publish your name, address, or identifying property photos on the website. If we would like to use a recognizable customer photo for marketing, we should first obtain appropriate permission.
Cookies and outside services
The website may rely on ordinary technical features of your browser and hosting provider. It also contains links to outside services, such as Google, which have their own privacy practices. If you choose to leave our website, the destination service's privacy terms apply. The website does not currently display a separate marketing-cookie consent banner because the supplied site code does not use advertising or analytics cookies.
Retention and security
We keep business communications and job information for as long as reasonably needed to respond to requests, provide services, maintain records, resolve disputes, or satisfy applicable obligations. We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no website, telephone service, or electronic communication is completely secure.
Your choices
You may contact us to ask about the personal information you've shared with us, request a correction, or ask us to delete information where appropriate and legally permitted. You can also choose not to send photos or other details by text, although some information may be necessary to provide an estimate or complete work.
Children's privacy
Our services and website are intended for people requesting property services, not for children under 13. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13 through this website.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page when business practices, website tools, or applicable requirements change. The revised version will show an updated date above.
