Privacy Policy

Me and My Brush LLC ("we," "us") is a house painting company based in Kissimmee, Florida. This policy explains what information we collect when you use this website, meandmybrush.com, why we collect it, and the choices you have. It covers this website only. We keep it short because we don't collect much.

Information you give us

The site has a few estimate forms, and they all work the same way. Depending on which one you use, you give us some of these:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your phone number
• The service you're interested in
• The town your home is in
• Your timing
• Your message, or a note about what you'd like painted
• A tick box confirming that you've read this policy and agree to be contacted by phone call, text message, or email about your request

We only ask for what we need to get back to you and plan a walkthrough.

Each form also has one hidden field, named _gotcha, that people don't see and don't fill in. Automated spam usually does fill it in. A submission that arrives with that field filled in is treated as spam and discarded.

We don't ask for payment details on this website. We don't sell anything online, and the site has no accounts or logins.

Where form submissions go

Every form on the site is handled by Basin, a form service. Basin receives what you send, stores it, and forwards a copy by email to our business inbox. So your request is kept in two places: Basin's records and our email inbox, which is a Gmail account.

Basin is operated by a company in Canada, so what you send through a form may be processed outside the United States. Basin uses other companies to help it deliver its service.

We use what you send to reply to you, prepare your estimate, schedule a walkthrough, and keep a record of the work if you hire us.

How we contact you

We reply by phone call, text message, or email, about the request you sent, and a person does it. We don't send automated text messages or automated emails, and we don't add you to a marketing list.

What we don't do with it

We don't sell your personal information. We don't rent it. We don't share what you send through a form with anyone for their own marketing.

One thing is shared with Google to measure our ads. When you send a form, the Google tag on this site may send Google a scrambled (hashed) copy of the email address or phone number you entered, so Google Ads can tell whether your request came from one of our ads. Google receives it under its own terms. If you'd rather it didn't, call or email us instead of using the form.

How long we keep it

Basin is set to keep each form submission for 1,460 days, which is four years. After that, Basin deletes it. The copy in our email inbox is not deleted automatically. It stays there until we delete it.

If you'd like your request deleted sooner, ask us and we'll remove it from both Basin and our inbox, unless we need to keep a record of completed work.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, this one uses a few Google services to understand how the site is used, to see whether our ads are working, and to show a map.

• Google Tag Manager loads the Google tag, which sends information about your visit to Google Analytics and to our Google Ads account. That is its whole job here.
• Google Analytics 4 records how the site is used: the pages visited, the approximate location of visitors, the kind of device and browser, and how they arrived. It uses cookies to tell one visit from another.
• Google signals is turned on in Google Analytics. For visitors who are signed in to a Google account and allow it, Google may add information from that account to our reports, such as age range and interests. We see totals only.
• Google Ads measures results from the search ads we run on Google. The Google tag sends page visits to our Google Ads account, so when someone clicks one of our ads and later sends a form, Google Ads can see that the ad led to the request. Cookies and similar browser storage are used to do this. Ad personalization is turned off for this information, and we don't build advertising audiences from visits to this site.
• Google Maps shows the map on our home, contact, and service areas pages. When the map loads, your browser connects to Google, which receives your IP address and may set its own cookies.

Google processes this information under its own privacy policy. What we see is reporting in totals, such as how many people visited a page. We don't see names in it. The cookies involved are listed in our Cookies Policy.

Hosting

The website is hosted by Vercel. To deliver a page to your browser, Vercel processes technical information such as your IP address, your browser type, and the page you asked for.

Your choices

• Ask what we have. Contact us and we'll tell you what information we hold about you.
• Ask us to correct or delete it. We'll do that, in both Basin and our inbox, unless we need to keep a record of completed work.
• Stop contact. Tell us and we'll stop contacting you.
• Control cookies. Your browser's settings let you block or delete cookies. The site works without them.
• Opt out of Google Analytics. Google offers a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics on every site you visit.
• Control Google's ads. You can change how Google uses your information for ads in Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of interest-based ads from participating companies on the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Children

This website is for homeowners and other adults looking for painting work. It isn't directed to children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we'll remove it.

Your state's privacy rights

Privacy rights differ from state to state. We're a Florida business, and we answer requests from visitors in any state. Contact us and we'll do what the law requires.

Do Not Track and other parties

Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no agreed standard for what a website should do with it, so this site doesn't respond to Do Not Track signals.

When you use this site, other parties, including Google, may collect information about your online activity over time and across different websites.

Security

The site and its forms use an encrypted connection (HTTPS). No website can promise perfect security, but we take reasonable care with what you share.

Links to other sites

The site links to other websites, such as our social media and review pages. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we don't control what they collect.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
