Privacy Policy
What this site collects when you request tree service, what it deliberately does not collect, and who your request is shared with.
This site exists to route a description of a tree problem to an independent tree-care company, and that is the only reason it collects anything. It sets no cookies for visitors, runs no analytics or advertising trackers, and does not store your IP address — to stop one source flooding the form, the connecting address is hashed with a secret and a value that changes daily, and only that hash is kept, unlinked to your request and deleted after seven days. One key is written to your browser's session storage, holding campaign parameters so they survive if you read a few pages before submitting; it is cleared when you close the tab. What we do store is what you type on the form, the page it was submitted from, and your browser's user-agent string. Your request is shared with the company handling it, and with nobody else.
This site exists to take a description of a tree problem and route it to an independent tree-care company that can look at it. That is the only reason it collects anything. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics or advertising trackers, and does not build a profile of you across visits.
What we collect when you submit a request
The request form asks for the service you need, your town, timing, whether the tree is on your own property, whether a power line may be involved, what the tree could strike, a description in your own words, your name, phone number, ZIP code, an optional email address, and your consent to be contacted. We store what you type. We also store the page the form was submitted from and any campaign parameters present in the link you arrived on, so we can tell which pages produce useful requests.
Your browser’s user-agent string is stored on the request record. It is used to investigate abusive or automated submissions, not to identify you.
What we deliberately do not collect
- No cookies. This site sets none for visitors. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.
- No analytics or advertising trackers. No Google Analytics, no tag manager, no advertising pixel, no session recording, no cross-site tracking.
- No stored IP address. To stop one source flooding the form, we hash the connecting IP address with a secret and a value that changes daily, and store only that hash. The hash cannot be reversed to an address, it is not linked to your request record, and it is deleted automatically after seven days.
- No account, no password, no payment details. There is nothing to log into and nothing to pay for.
The one thing stored in your browser
If you arrive through a campaign link, the campaign parameters are held in your browser’s session storage under the key tree-attribution, so that the information survives if you read a few pages before filling in the form. Session storage is cleared by your browser when you close the tab. It never leaves your device except as part of a request you choose to submit.
Who your request is shared with
We are not the company that cuts the tree. A request you submit is shared with an independent, qualified tree-care company that serves your town and handles that kind of work, so that they can contact you, assess the site and give you a written scope and price. That company is responsible for its own assessment, contract, insurance, work and privacy practices, and it will have your contact details and your description of the problem.
We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with advertisers, data brokers or list compilers. Beyond the provider handling your request, information is disclosed only where the law requires it, or where it is necessary to investigate abuse of this site.
The service providers behind this site
The site runs on Cloudflare, which hosts it, stores request records in its database service, and delivers the notification email that tells us a request has arrived. Cloudflare therefore processes this data on our behalf. The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, a bot check that runs in your browser and is designed not to track you across sites.
How long we keep it
Request records are kept for as long as they are useful for handling the request, resolving a dispute about the work, and meeting legal obligations — and then deleted. Rate-limit hashes are deleted automatically after seven days. If you ask us to delete your request record, we will, unless we are required to keep it.
Your choices
You can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Use the contact form and describe the request you submitted well enough that we can find it. We will not ask you to create an account to exercise this. Depending on where you live you may have additional rights under state privacy law; we apply the same handling to everyone rather than sorting people by jurisdiction.
Children
This site is meant for property owners and managers. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted a request, tell us and we will delete it.
Please do not send us sensitive information
The request form is for describing a tree and a property. Do not send medical information, payment card numbers, government identification numbers, or account credentials — we have no use for any of it. And never approach a damaged tree or a utility line to take a photograph for us.
Changes to this policy
If what the site does changes, this page changes with it and the review date above is updated. We do not make quiet changes to how information is handled and leave the page saying otherwise.
Everything this site collects, and for how long
The whole list. If something is not on it, this site does not collect it.
| What | Why | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| Your request details and contact information | So a company can contact you and assess the site | As long as the request and any dispute need it |
| The page the form was submitted from | To tell which pages produce useful requests | With the request record |
| Campaign parameters from your arrival link | Same | With the request record |
| Your browser's user-agent string | To investigate automated abuse | With the request record |
| A salted hash of your IP address | To stop one source flooding the form | Seven days, then deleted automatically |
| Campaign parameters in session storage | So they survive if you read a few pages first | Until you close the tab |
| Cookies | — | None are set |
| Analytics or advertising identifiers | — | None are collected |
| Your raw IP address | — | Never stored |
Verifiable from the code: no document.cookie or Set-Cookie anywhere, one sessionStorage key, and the rate-limit table stores a hash rather than an address.
