If you filled in a contractor's form

Your answers are stored so that one contractor can read them: your first name, phone number, email address if you gave one, ZIP code, the kind of project, your description, your timeline, your budget range if it was asked, who decides, the best time to call, and how you heard about them.

Only the contractor whose form you filled in can open them. They are not sold, shared, or used for advertising. The form does not ask for a street address, photos or files.

To have your request removed, ask the contractor. They can delete it from their list at any time, and it is then gone for good. If you cannot reach them, write to the address at the bottom of this page with the name of the business and the phone number you gave.

If you set up a form

Your business name, first name, business phone, project types, ZIP codes and smallest job size are stored. Your ZIP codes and smallest job size are never sent to a homeowner's browser.

Your list opens with a private link. Only a scrambled version of that link is stored, so it cannot be looked up or reset. You can delete a single request, or your form and every request in it, from the settings on your list.

What this site does on your device

There are no cookies, no analytics and no trackers. Two things are kept in your browser's own storage: a homeowner's unfinished answers, so a closed tab does not lose them, and a contractor's private link, so the list opens next time. Both stay on the device.

What the server keeps

The data sits in a database on Cloudflare, which also serves the pages. To limit abuse, a scrambled copy of the address a new form was created from is kept, and it changes every day. It is not kept for homeowner requests.

The sample form stores nothing. The people in the sample list are made up.
