Privacy Policy
How Homeline Plumbing collects, uses, and protects your information.
This Privacy Policy applies to Homeline Plumbing, operated by Homeline Plumbing LLC ("Homeline," "we," "our," or "us"), including its website located at homelineplumbing.com. We serve residential customers in Arizona and Idaho. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have regarding your information.
By using this website, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use the website.
The short version. Analytics and advertising cookies are on by default when you visit this site. You can turn them off at any time using the Your Privacy Choices button at the bottom of every page. Turning them off also deletes the analytics and advertising cookies already stored on your device. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out and apply it automatically. Details are in Section 4.

1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly
When you submit a quote request, contact form, or service inquiry through our website, we may collect:
- Full name
- Phone number
- Email address
- Property or service address
- Type of service requested
- Description of the issue, project, or service need
- State or service location information, such as Arizona or Idaho
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through our forms, such as Social Security numbers, payment card numbers, medical information, or other confidential information that is not necessary for your service request.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, we and our service providers may collect certain information automatically, including:
- IP address and approximate location
- Browser type and version
- Device type, operating system, and screen size
- Pages visited and time spent on the website
- Referring website or ad source
- Links clicked and general site activity
- Cookie identifiers, unless you have opted out of analytics and advertising
- Advertising interaction data, such as whether you clicked a Google or Meta ad before visiting the site, unless you have opted out of analytics and advertising
We may use Netlify, our hosting provider, to infer your approximate state from your IP address so the website can display the appropriate Arizona or Idaho content. We do not access your device's GPS location.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Responding to service requests: We use your contact details to call, text, or email you about your quote request, appointment, or service inquiry.
- CRM and lead management: We may store your submission in a customer relationship management platform so our team can follow up, schedule service, and manage customer communications.
- Location-based website content: We may use your approximate state or submitted service location to show the correct phone number, service area, license information, and local content.
- Website analytics: Unless you have opted out, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors find and use our website.
- Advertising measurement: Unless you have opted out, we use Google Ads and the Meta Pixel to measure form submissions, ad performance, and campaign effectiveness.
- Security and fraud prevention: We use our hosting provider, Netlify, and related tools to help protect the website from spam, abuse, malicious activity, and unauthorized access.
- Legal compliance: We may use or retain information as required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or business recordkeeping obligations.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, localStorage, pixels, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember your preferences, understand website performance, and measure advertising results.
Essential technologies
These are stored in your browser's localStorage, are set by our website rather than by an advertising partner, and are not affected when you opt out of analytics and advertising:
hl-consentrecords whether you have turned analytics and advertising on or offhl-notice-ackrecords that you have seen and dismissed our privacy notice, so it is not shown again on every pagehl-stateandhl-state-tsremember your detected or selected service state, Arizona or Idaho, for 24 hours so the site shows the correct phone number, service area, and license information
Our contact form also loads hCaptcha, a bot-detection service, which sets its own cookies and storage in order to tell real visitors from automated abuse. This runs only on the contact page and is necessary for the form to work.
Analytics technologies
Unless you have opted out, we use Google Analytics 4 to collect information about how visitors use the website, including page views, sessions, device type, traffic source, and general browsing behavior. This typically sets cookies beginning with _ga, _gid, and _gat.
Advertising technologies
Unless you have opted out, we use Google Ads conversion tracking and the Meta Pixel to measure ad clicks, form submissions, and campaign performance. These tools may also support remarketing or audience features where enabled. This typically sets cookies beginning with _gcl, _fbp, and _fbc.
Analytics and advertising technologies are loaded through Google Tag Manager. You can turn all of them off as described in the next section.
4. Your Privacy Choices
Analytics and advertising cookies are on by default when you visit this website. We disclose this in a notice the first time you arrive, and you can turn them off at any point, before or after dismissing that notice.
How to turn analytics and advertising off
Select Your Privacy Choices in the footer of any page on this site. The panel that opens tells you whether analytics and advertising are currently on or off, and gives you a control to change it. When you turn them off:
- Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Google Ads, and the Meta Pixel stop loading on this website
- The analytics and advertising cookies already stored on your device are deleted
- Your choice is remembered in your browser and reapplied on every page you visit afterward
You can reopen the same panel at any time to confirm your choice is still in effect, or to turn analytics and advertising back on.
Your choice is stored in your own browser rather than in an account, so it applies to that browser on that device. If you use a different browser or device, clear your site data, or browse in a private window, you will need to make the choice again. If your browser blocks site storage entirely, we cannot save the choice, and the panel will tell you so instead of appearing to succeed.
Global Privacy Control
We recognize the Global Privacy Control signal, an opt-out preference signal that some browsers and browser extensions send on your behalf. If your browser sends this signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of analytics and advertising, and we apply it automatically on arrival. You do not need to take any further action.
To confirm we honored it, select Your Privacy Choices in the footer. When the signal has been applied, the panel states that analytics and advertising are off and that your browser sent a Global Privacy Control signal that we honored.
If you make an explicit choice using the panel, that choice takes precedence over the signal from then on, in either direction. This means you can turn analytics and advertising on even while sending the signal, and that decision will be respected until you change it.
Other ways to limit tracking
Independently of the control on this website, you may also:
- Block or delete cookies through your browser settings, and clear your browser's cookies and localStorage at any time
- Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on
- Adjust your Google ad settings and your Meta ad preferences
- Use industry opt-out tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out pages
- Use a browser or extension that blocks analytics and advertising technologies
Turning off analytics and advertising does not stop us from receiving a quote request you choose to submit, and it does not affect how we handle that request.
5. Third-Party Services
We use third-party service providers to operate the website, process inquiries, protect the site, analyze usage, and measure advertising performance. These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.
Netlify
Our website is hosted on Netlify, which provides hosting, content delivery, HTTPS, platform-level security, performance, and approximate location detection. Netlify may receive your IP address, request metadata, browser information, and related technical data when you visit the website.
Resend
When you submit a quote request, contact form, or service inquiry, your information is sent to Resend, our transactional email delivery service, so that we receive your request by email. This may include your name, phone number, email address, address, service type, message, and location information. We also use Resend to send transactional emails such as confirmations or follow-up messages about your request. Resend may retain delivery logs and related metadata according to its own privacy policy.
hCaptcha
Our contact form uses hCaptcha, operated by Intuition Machines, to distinguish real visitors from automated abuse. When you load the contact page, hCaptcha may receive your IP address, browser and device information, and interaction data such as mouse movement, and it sets its own cookies and browser storage. This runs regardless of your analytics and advertising choice because the form cannot accept submissions without it.
Google Tag Manager
Unless you have opted out, we use Google Tag Manager to load the analytics and advertising tools listed below. When you opt out, Google Tag Manager is not loaded at all, so none of those tools run.
Google Analytics 4
Unless you have opted out, we use Google Analytics 4 to collect website usage information such as page views, session duration, device type, browser type, and traffic source. Google may process this information on servers in the United States or other locations.
Google Ads
Unless you have opted out, we use Google Ads conversion tracking to understand whether visitors who clicked our ads completed a quote request or other action on the website.
Meta Pixel
Unless you have opted out, we use the Meta Pixel to measure advertising performance on Facebook, Instagram, and related Meta services. This may include measuring page views, form submissions, and ad interactions. Where enabled, the Meta Pixel may also support remarketing or audience features.
Google Fonts
Our website may load fonts from Google Fonts. When this happens, your browser may make a request to Google's servers, which may include your IP address and browser information.
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information for money. Unless you have opted out, we share limited online activity data with Google and Meta for advertising measurement and cross-context behavioral advertising. Under some state privacy laws this counts as "sharing" or as a "sale," so we treat the control in Section 4 as your opt-out of it. Opting out stops this sharing from your browser going forward. It does not retroactively recall data already sent.
We may share information in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: We share information with vendors and platforms that help us operate the website and business, such as hosting, security, CRM, analytics, advertising, and communication providers.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, legal process, government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Homeline Plumbing, our customers, employees, or the public.
- Business transfers: If Homeline Plumbing is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
- With your consent: We may share information in other circumstances where you have given us permission.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, respond to inquiries, maintain business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Our retention periods by category:
- Quote and contact form submissions: Kept until you ask us to delete them. We may retain a limited record beyond that request where we are required or permitted to do so by law, such as records of completed work, invoicing, warranty, tax, and accounting obligations.
- Analytics data: In Google Analytics 4, individual event data is retained for 2 months and user-level data is retained for 14 months, after which Google deletes it automatically. Aggregate reports that contain no individual identifiers may be retained longer.
- Advertising data: Retained by Google Ads and Meta according to each platform's own retention settings and policies. We do not control those periods.
- Email delivery records: Resend, our transactional email provider, retains delivery logs and related metadata according to its own privacy policy.
- Your privacy choice: Stored in your own browser rather than on our servers. It stays there until you clear your site data, and we do not keep a copy.
You may request deletion of your personal information by contacting us using the information in Section 14. We may deny or limit deletion requests where retention is required or permitted by law.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to help protect personal information. These may include HTTPS encryption, secure configuration practices, access controls, provider-side security tools, and security monitoring.
Form submissions are transmitted through secure connections to our service providers. We do not intentionally store raw form submissions on our website servers longer than necessary to transmit or process the request.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we will take reasonable steps to protect your information and respond to any data incident as required by applicable law.
9. Your Rights
To turn analytics and advertising off, you do not need to contact us. Use the Your Privacy Choices control described in Section 4, which takes effect immediately.
Regardless of where you live, you may also contact us to request that we:
- Provide access to personal information we maintain about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete your personal information, subject to legal and business recordkeeping requirements
- Stop certain marketing communications
If you provide your phone number, we may contact you by phone or text message about your request. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of text messages by replying STOP, where applicable.
To exercise your rights or make a privacy request, contact us using the information in Section 14. We will respond within a reasonable time and may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
10. California Residents
If we are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, or if we choose to honor similar requests voluntarily, California residents may have additional rights regarding their personal information.
Categories of personal information collected
In the past 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information:
- Identifiers: Name, email address, phone number, IP address, and service address
- Customer records: Contact information, service request details, and customer communication history
- Internet or network activity: Website usage, pages visited, browser type, device type, cookies, and ad interaction data
- Geolocation data: Approximate state-level location derived from IP address or information you submit

California privacy rights
California residents may have the right to:
- Know what categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect
- Know the categories of sources of personal information
- Know the purposes for collecting, using, sharing, or disclosing personal information

- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
- Limit the use of sensitive personal information, where applicable
- Not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights
Opting out of sale or sharing
We do not sell personal information for money. Unless you have opted out, we share limited online activity data with Google and Meta for advertising measurement and cross-context behavioral advertising, which may qualify as "sharing" or as a "sale" under California law.
To opt out, select Your Privacy Choices in the footer of any page. That control is our designated method for opt-out requests, it takes effect immediately, and it requires no account and no identity verification.
We honor the Global Privacy Control signal as a valid opt-out request and apply it automatically. To confirm we honored it, reopen Your Privacy Choices, which will state that analytics and advertising are off and that we honored the signal. See Section 4 for details.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
To submit any other California privacy request, contact us using the information in Section 14. We may need to verify your identity before completing your request. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf, and we may ask for proof of that authorization.
