Privacy Policy
Last updated
This page explains, in plain language, what the Clog Heroes website collects when you use it, what we do with that information and how to reach us about it.
Who We Are
Clog Heroes Plumbing, Sewer & Drain is a trade name of ALCO Services LLC, 2706 Lafayette Blvd, Fredericksburg, VA 22408. In this policy, “Clog Heroes,” “we” and “us” mean ALCO Services LLC. This policy covers this website and the forms on it. It does not cover other websites we link to.
What We Collect
We collect what you type into our forms. This site has three of them: the Instant Estimate, Book a Visit and the Contact form. Depending on the form, we ask for:
- Your name.
- Your phone number.
- Your email address.
- The service address for the job, including ZIP code.
- Job details you choose or type, such as the problem, your home type, how urgent it is, answers to the estimate questions, the arrival window you pick and any notes or message.
- Whether you checked the box to receive text messages, whether you acknowledged the dispatch fee and whether you agreed to our Terms of Service and this policy.
If you call us, we also have your phone number and whatever you tell us about the job.
What Is Collected Automatically
Hosting
This website is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare receives technical details from your browser when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the page you asked for and the time.
Spam Protection
Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a form is being sent from a browser and not an automated program. To do that, Turnstile looks at signals from your browser and device. When a form is sent, our server also records your IP address and phone number so it can limit repeated requests.
Address Search
The address field on the estimate and booking forms uses Google Maps to suggest matching addresses as you type. The text you type into that field is sent to Google to find suggestions. Google handles that information under its own privacy policy.
How We Use It
- To show your estimate, book your visit or answer your message.
- To check that your address is inside the area we serve.
- To create your customer record and your job or estimate in our scheduling and booking system.
- To call or email you about your request, and to text you if you agreed to texts.
- To send our office an email notification about your request, and to send you a confirmation.
- To block spam and repeated or abusive form submissions.
Where Your Information Goes
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the companies that help us run the business and this website, and only so they can do that work for us:
- Our customer relationship management (CRM) system, where every request is stored as a contact record so we can follow up.
- Our scheduling and booking system, where your customer record, address and job or estimate are created.
- Our email delivery service, which sends the office notification and your confirmation email.
- Cloudflare, for hosting, Turnstile and form records.
- Google, for address suggestions as described above.
We may also share information when the law requires it, or to protect our customers, our staff or our business.
Text Messages
The Instant Estimate, Book a Visit and Contact forms each have an optional box for text messages. It is never checked for you, and you can send any form without it. When you check it, you agree to receive Clog Heroes Service Texts at the number you gave us: texts about your request, estimates, appointments and service visits, and replies to messages you send us. We do not send marketing texts through this program, and we would ask for your separate consent before sending any.
For texts, we keep your mobile number, a record of your consent and the messages we exchange. We use them only to send these texts, answer your replies and show that you agreed. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any text to opt out, or HELP for help. You can also call us at (540) 518-2564. The full program terms are in our Terms of Service.
We do not share, sell or provide your mobile phone number or your text-message consent to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. The sharing listed under Where Your Information Goes never includes your text-message opt-in data or consent, except with the companies that deliver our texts for us.
Cookies and Browser Storage
This website sets no cookies of its own. It uses no advertising, analytics or cross-site tracking cookies. A few tools on the site do keep small pieces of information in your browser:
- Spam check. Our forms load Cloudflare Turnstile in a small frame served by Cloudflare. Cloudflare may use cookies or browser storage inside that frame to tell people apart from automated programs, and only for that security check.
- Address search. When the estimate or booking form loads Google Maps address suggestions, Google may set or read its own cookies under Google's privacy policy.
- Saved progress. The Instant Estimate and Book a Visit forms save your answers in your browser's session storage so a page refresh does not lose them. That copy stays on your device. It is removed when you send the form and is gone once you close the tab.
- Repeat sends. After you send an estimate or booking request, your browser's local storage keeps a short note of it: a request number, the time, and your phone number, problem and ZIP code. The forms use it for one hour to avoid sending the same request twice. It stays on your device until you clear your browser's site data.
The site does not use Google Analytics, a Facebook pixel or embedded YouTube players. Our videos are served from this website.
You can block or delete cookies and clear stored site data in your browser's settings, usually under Privacy or Site Data. If you block Cloudflare's or Google's cookies, the spam check or the address suggestions may stop working. You can always call us instead.
How Long We Keep It
We keep your request and customer record for as long as we need it to serve you, keep accurate business and tax records and meet our legal duties. Rate-limit records used for spam protection are kept only as long as they are useful for that purpose.
Your Choices
- You can ask what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it or ask us to delete it. Call us or write to us at the address below.
- You can stop text messages at any time by replying STOP.
- You can use this website without filling in any form, and call us instead.
We may need to confirm who you are before acting on a request. Where the law requires it, we may keep some records.
Children
This website is for adults arranging work on their homes. It is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to This Policy
If we change this policy, we will post the new version here and change the “Last updated” date at the top of the page.
