4. Cookies, Analytics, and Opt-Out Signals
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember your preferences, and understand how the website is used. We use Google Analytics to help us analyze website traffic and usage. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the website and may set its own cookies. You can learn about Google’s practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy and opt out of Google Analytics using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
You can usually set your browser to refuse or delete cookies, although some features of the website may not function properly without them. Where required by applicable law, we honor recognized universal opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), that you send through your browser or device.
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as described below:
- Service providers and vendors. We share information with companies that perform services for us, such as payment processing (Stripe), website hosting, analytics (Google), and communications, only as needed to perform those services;
- Elevator service providers. For services that involve contacting or introducing you to an elevator service provider, we share the information reasonably necessary for that purpose. Those providers are independent companies and handle your information under their own practices;
- Legal and safety. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety or the safety of others, or to investigate fraud or violations of our Terms; and
- Business transfers. If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy.
6. Text Messages (SMS)
If you provide a mobile number, you authorize us to contact you by text message (SMS) about your requests and the services, as described in the applicable service terms. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP, and you can reply HELP for assistance. We do not share mobile numbers or SMS consent with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the services, operate our business, resolve disputes, and comply with our legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete it or de-identify it. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for notifying us if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under your state’s privacy law regarding your personal information. Many U.S. states, including Florida, Texas, and California, have comprehensive privacy laws that provide residents some or all of the following rights:
- To know or access the personal information we hold about you;
- To correct inaccurate personal information;
- To delete personal information;
- To obtain a portable copy of certain information you provided; and
- To opt out of the sale of personal information, targeted advertising, or certain profiling.
To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@elevatorapp.com. We will respond as required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request, and you may use an authorized agent where the law permits. We will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising your rights. If we decline your request, you may appeal our decision by contacting us at the same address, and we will respond as required by law.
California residents. Because we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, we do not offer a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” sale opt-out. California residents may still exercise the access, correction, deletion, and related rights described above, subject to verification.
10. Do Not Sell or Share
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are intended for persons who are at least 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child, we will delete it. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at privacy@elevatorapp.com.
12. Third-Party Websites and Services
The website may contain links to third-party websites or services that we do not operate or control, including those of independent elevator service providers and our payment processor. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third party before providing information to them.
13. Where Information Is Processed
The website and services are intended for use in the United States, and information we collect is processed and stored in the United States. If you access the website from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your location.
