01

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies when you visit mowtowngirls.com, submit a service request, subscribe to updates, or otherwise communicate with Mowtown Girls through the website. In this policy, “Mowtown Girls,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Mowtown Girls lawn-care business serving St. Petersburg, Florida.

02

Information we collect

Information you provide

  • Service requests: your name, email address, phone number if provided, preferred contact method, requested services, ZIP code, optional street address, and project details.
  • Updates subscriptions: your email address, consent date and source, and subscription status.
  • Communications: information you include in follow-up messages or privacy requests.
  • Consultations and service delivery:customer and contact details, service-site addresses and coordinates, property photos, requested work, access and safety instructions, equipment needs, appointments, and service completion records.
  • Workforce operations: worker profile, qualifications, service areas, availability, accepted work, release requests, job notes, and closeout photos submitted through the authenticated portal.

Information processed automatically

When you use the site, our hosting and security systems may process technical information such as your network address, browser or device type, requested page, and request time to deliver and protect the site. Our forms also use a hidden anti-spam field and form timing. For rate limiting and duplicate detection, the server converts the network address and normalized submission details into one-way keyed hashes; the raw network address is not stored in our form-submission tables.

03

How we use information

We may use information to:

  • review, respond to, and follow up on service requests;
  • prepare estimates, schedule work, and provide services;
  • manage update subscriptions and honor opt-out requests;
  • operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website;
  • prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and duplicate submissions;
  • maintain appropriate business and transaction records; and
  • comply with law and protect our rights and safety.

Providing a phone number lets us contact you about your request. It does not enroll you in marketing text messages.

04

How we share information

We do not currently sell or rent personal information, and we do not currently use it for targeted advertising. We may disclose information only as reasonably needed to:

  • website hosting, database, security, form-processing, and workflow providers that process information on our behalf;
  • authorized team members or contractors who need it to respond to requests or provide services;
  • professional advisers such as accountants, insurers, or attorneys when appropriate;
  • government authorities or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the site;
  • a buyer, successor, or adviser involved in a potential or completed business transaction; or
  • another party at your direction or with your consent.

We use Mapbox to standardize service-site addresses, confirm map coordinates, calculate ordered service routes, and render maps. Address verification sends the entered service address to Mapbox; route calculation sends the selected start, stop, and end coordinates. We retain the standardized result and coordinates for scheduling and providing service. When a map loads, Mapbox may also receive standard request information such as an IP address, browser or device details, and the requesting page. Applicant answers and customer contact or billing details are not included in these map requests.

05

Cookies and similar technology

The public-facing website does not currently use advertising or analytics cookies. A restricted administrative area uses essential authentication cookies so authorized staff can sign in securely. Hosting and security providers may also process standard request logs needed to deliver and protect the site. If our cookie practices materially change, we will update this policy and provide any controls required by applicable law.

06

Retention

Retention periods vary based on the type of information and why it was collected. We generally keep service requests and related records for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, provide and document services, maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with law. We keep newsletter records while a subscription is active and may retain a limited suppression record after an opt-out so we can honor that preference. Security records may be retained as needed to detect and prevent abuse.

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or deidentify it, subject to legal obligations, backup cycles, and operational limitations.

07

Your choices

  • Marketing updates: you may unsubscribe using the instructions in a marketing email or by sending us a privacy request. We may keep a limited record of your opt-out.
  • Access, correction, or deletion: you may ask to access, correct, or delete information associated with you. We may need to verify your identity, and some information may be retained where permitted or required by law.
  • Other privacy rights: depending on where you live, you may have additional rights. We will evaluate requests under the law that applies to the request.

We will not discriminate against you for making a privacy request.

08

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed for the nature of the information we handle. These include restricted database access, protected administrative authentication, encrypted network transport, and abuse-prevention controls. No website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

09

Children

The website and our services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through the site, please contact us so we can review the request.

10

U.S. processing

Mowtown Girls operates in Florida, and information submitted through the website is processed in the United States. If you access the site from elsewhere, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your location.

12

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our website, services, or legal obligations change. We will post the revised version here and update the “Last updated” date above. If a change is material, we may also provide a more prominent notice when appropriate.
