ExtermiGuard Privacy Policy
The ExtermiGuard privacy policy explains how ExtermiGuard may collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when visitors use ExtermiGuard.com, search by ZIP code, use forms or contact tools, interact with analytics or cookies, or connect with participating pest-control providers.
- Information may come from searches, forms, website activity, account tools, or other features you choose to use.
- Data may support site operation, provider connections, security, analytics, support, and legal or business recordkeeping.
- Where applicable, privacy requests may include access, correction, deletion, portability, opt-out, or appeal rights.
How the ExtermiGuard Privacy Policy Works
The ExtermiGuard privacy policy is organized around four practical questions: what information may be collected, why it may be used, when it may be disclosed, and what privacy choices may be available to you.
Information You Provide
ZIP code, contact information, service-request details, property information, photos, account information, or other details you choose to submit.
Website Activity
Device, browser, IP address, page activity, clicks, analytics events, logs, and security signals may be generated when the website is used.
Provider Connections
When you choose a provider connection, call option, website option, or contact request, information may be shared as needed to support that connection.
Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights involving access, correction, deletion, portability, opt-out, limitation, appeal, or non-discrimination.
1. Information ExtermiGuard May Collect
The ExtermiGuard privacy policy explains that ExtermiGuard may collect information directly from you, automatically through the website, or from service providers used to operate the platform. The exact information depends on the features you use.
Information You Provide
- ZIP code, city, state, or service-area information entered into search tools.
- Name, email address, phone number, service address, company name, or other contact information you submit.
- Pest issue, property type, urgency, photos, notes, preferred contact details, or other request information.
- Account, billing, payment-related, profile, support, or portal information if a feature requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
- IP address, browser, device, operating system, referring page, page visits, timestamps, and approximate location derived from technical data.
- Cookie or analytics identifiers, performance information, error logs, security events, spam-prevention signals, and similar technical data.
- Search events, link clicks, call-button clicks, provider-link activity, form submissions, and other website interactions.
A ZIP code by itself may not identify you. When combined with a name, phone number, service address, request details, account information, or another identifier, it may become part of personal information.
Do not submit Social Security numbers, financial-account passwords, medical records, government identification numbers, or other highly sensitive information through a general pest-control search or contact form unless a specific feature clearly requests it and explains why it is needed.
2. How ExtermiGuard May Use Information
Under the ExtermiGuard privacy policy, information may be used to operate ExtermiGuard, support pest-control searches and provider connections, respond to requests, maintain security, prevent abuse, understand website performance, provide support, and meet legal or business recordkeeping needs.
| Purpose | Examples | Possible Recipient Categories |
|---|---|---|
| Search and connection | Use ZIP code and request details to show relevant search paths or support a provider connection. | ExtermiGuard systems and, when needed for a requested connection, a participating provider. |
| Respond to requests | Review contact messages, service questions, support inquiries, account questions, or privacy requests. | ExtermiGuard and service providers supporting email, forms, storage, or support. |
| Website performance | Measure traffic, pages viewed, clicks, errors, load performance, and general website usability. | Hosting, analytics, security, logging, or technical vendors as applicable. |
| Security and abuse prevention | Detect spam, fraud, bots, suspicious activity, abuse, and unauthorized access attempts. | Security, hosting, anti-spam, fraud-prevention, and technical providers as applicable. |
| Recordkeeping | Maintain reasonable request, consent, support, transaction, routing, security, or compliance records. | ExtermiGuard and vendors required to maintain the relevant system or record. |
3. How Information May Be Disclosed
The ExtermiGuard privacy policy explains that information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to operate the website, support a connection or request, use service providers, comply with law, protect rights or security, or complete a business transaction.
- Participating providers: information may be sent to a pest-control provider when you initiate, request, or choose a connection that requires the information.
- Website and business vendors: hosting, security, analytics, forms, email delivery, storage, payment processing if applicable, reporting, and technical support.
- Legal and safety reasons: information may be disclosed to comply with law, lawful process, security needs, fraud prevention, rights protection, or enforcement of terms.
- Business transactions: information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale, or transfer of assets.
ExtermiGuard does not intend to sell personal information for monetary consideration. Some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than a direct money sale. Where applicable, you may have rights to opt out of certain processing or disclosures.
Cookies, Analytics, Pixels, and Website Logs
The ExtermiGuard privacy policy explains that ExtermiGuard may use cookies, analytics tools, pixels, local storage, server logs, and similar technologies to help the website function, measure performance, detect security problems, prevent spam, and understand how visitors use the platform.
You can usually adjust cookie settings in your browser. Blocking some technologies may affect website functionality or analytics.
Some state privacy laws recognize browser-based universal opt-out mechanisms, including Global Privacy Control (GPC), for certain sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising opt-outs. When applicable law requires ExtermiGuard to recognize a qualifying signal for the processing at issue, ExtermiGuard will process that signal as required by law.
“Do Not Track” settings and legally recognized universal opt-out signals are not necessarily the same thing and may be treated differently under applicable law.
4. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
The ExtermiGuard privacy policy describes privacy rights that may apply depending on where you live, the law that applies, the type of information involved, and whether ExtermiGuard meets applicable legal thresholds.
- Access / know: request a copy, summary, or categories of certain personal information maintained about you.
- Correction: request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Deletion: request deletion, subject to legal, security, operational, recordkeeping, fraud-prevention, or transaction exceptions.
- Portability: request certain information in a portable format where applicable law provides that right.
- Opt-out: request opt-out of certain sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or qualifying profiling where applicable.
- Limit use: request limits on certain sensitive personal information where applicable law provides that right and relevant data is processed.
- Appeal: appeal certain privacy-request decisions where required by law.
- Non-discrimination: exercise applicable privacy rights without unlawful discrimination or retaliation.
How to Submit a Privacy Request
Use the ExtermiGuard contact page or email info@extermiguard.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. ExtermiGuard may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Authorized-agent requests may require proof of authorization.
Response periods, verification requirements, appeal procedures, opt-out mechanisms, and available rights differ by jurisdiction. This policy does not claim that every state privacy statute applies to every visitor or every ExtermiGuard activity.
5. Security, Retention, and Accuracy
The ExtermiGuard privacy policy states that ExtermiGuard seeks to use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information and tools in use. No internet transmission, website, storage system, call-routing system, or electronic communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Retention
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably needed for website operation, request handling, provider connections, support, security, fraud prevention, analytics, legal compliance, billing if applicable, backups, disputes, and ordinary business records.
Accuracy
ExtermiGuard relies in part on information provided by visitors and third parties. If you believe information you submitted is inaccurate, contact ExtermiGuard to request correction where applicable.
6. Children’s Privacy
The ExtermiGuard privacy policy states that ExtermiGuard is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. ExtermiGuard does not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact ExtermiGuard so the matter can be reviewed and addressed as appropriate.
7. Independent Providers and Third-Party Websites
The ExtermiGuard privacy policy explains that ExtermiGuard may link to independent pest-control providers, websites, phone numbers, maps, payment pages, tools, and other external resources. Those third parties control their own privacy, security, availability, and business practices.
When you leave ExtermiGuard.com, call a provider, visit a provider website, or use a third-party tool, that third party’s privacy policy and terms may apply.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
The ExtermiGuard privacy policy may be revised from time to time. The “Last updated” date near the top of the page identifies the current revision date. Updated terms apply to future use of the website after the revised policy is posted, subject to applicable law.

Questions About the ExtermiGuard Privacy Policy
These ExtermiGuard privacy policy answers address common questions about searches, provider connections, cookies, personal information, privacy requests, and third-party providers.
What does the ExtermiGuard privacy policy say about search information?
Depending on the feature used, ExtermiGuard may receive a ZIP code or other search information along with technical information such as page activity, device details, IP address, or analytics events. Additional personal information is collected only when a feature or form receives it.
Does entering a ZIP code automatically send my personal information to a pest-control company?
Not necessarily. A ZIP code can be used to determine search or provider availability. A provider may receive relevant information when you choose or request a connection that requires the information.
How does the ExtermiGuard privacy policy address provider sharing?
It may when you initiate or request a provider connection, use a call or contact option, or submit information that must be provided to process the connection. Independent providers have their own privacy practices.
Does ExtermiGuard sell personal information?
ExtermiGuard does not intend to sell personal information for monetary consideration. Some privacy laws define sale, sharing, or targeted advertising more broadly, and applicable opt-out rights may still apply.
What does the ExtermiGuard privacy policy say about cookies and analytics?
ExtermiGuard may use cookies, analytics, pixels, local storage, server logs, and similar technologies for website operation, security, spam prevention, performance, analytics, and improvement.
What is Global Privacy Control?
Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a browser-based privacy preference signal recognized by some state privacy laws for certain opt-out rights. Where applicable law requires ExtermiGuard to recognize a qualifying signal for the relevant processing, ExtermiGuard will process it as required by law.
How do I submit an ExtermiGuard privacy policy request?
Use the ExtermiGuard contact page or email info@extermiguard.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. Identity verification may be required before certain requests are completed.
How long is information retained?
Retention depends on why the information is needed. Records may be kept for website operation, requests, provider connections, security, fraud prevention, analytics, legal compliance, billing if applicable, backups, disputes, and ordinary business records.
How does the ExtermiGuard privacy policy handle state privacy rights?
No. Privacy laws differ by state and may depend on business thresholds, the data involved, and how the data is processed. ExtermiGuard will evaluate requests under the laws applicable to the request and relevant processing.
