Who We Are

Germantown Rapid Cleanup Pros provides restoration services for homes and businesses facing water, fire, or mold damage. We focus on helping people recover their property quickly and safely. This policy explains how we collect and protect your data when you visit our site or use our services.

We operate primarily in Germantown, Maryland and surrounding communities. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this document. We want to be clear about how we handle your details so you can feel confident in our team. Our goal is to provide top quality restoration while respecting your personal information. This policy applies to all visitors and clients who interact with our digital presence or onsite crews.

Information We Collect

We collect several types of data to help us do our jobs well. This includes information you provide when you ask for an estimate like your name and contact details. We also gather job and property details such as your home address and the type of damage present.

Our technicians take photos and videos of the damage for documentation and insurance reports. When you browse our site, we collect device and usage data like your IP address and which pages you view. We use cookies and similar tools to see how people use our website. In some cases, we receive information from service partners such as insurance agents who refer you to our restoration team for help.

How We Use Information

We use your information to deliver the restoration services you need. This includes scheduling our crew to visit your home and creating cost estimates for repairs. We use property photos for billing and to provide insurance documentation to your provider.

Our team also uses data for safety checks and quality control to ensure every job meets IICRC standards. We use contact info for customer support and to send you updates on our progress. Sometimes we look at site data to improve our website or to prevent fraud. We also use information to follow local laws and legal rules. Everything we do with your data is meant to make the cleanup process smoother and more efficient for you.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tools to help things work better for you. Cookies are small files saved on your computer that remember your preferences and settings. Some are necessary for the site to run while others help us see which parts of our site are most popular.

You have options to limit or clear these cookies through your browser settings at any time. If you choose to turn off cookies, some parts of our website might not work the right way. We use these tools to understand visitor habits and to make our online experience faster and easier to navigate. They do not give us access to your private files on your computer.

Sharing and Disclosure

We share information with others only when it is necessary to get the job done. This includes sharing details with service partners and subcontractors who help us with reconstruction or plumbing. We provide photos and reports to your insurance company with your permission to help your claim move forward.

We also share data with payment processors to handle your bills safely. We may disclose information if it is needed for safety reasons or if the law says we must do so. We want to be very clear that we do not sell your personal data to anyone. Your information is used only to support the restoration and cleanup services we provide to you.

Data Retention

We keep your records for as long as we need them for operational and legal reasons. This includes keeping job photos and moisture logs to show the work was done correctly. We must hold onto some documents for tax purposes or to follow safety regulations.

The time we keep different types of files can vary. For example, some insurance documents may be kept longer than basic website visit logs. Once we no longer need the information for a specific business or legal goal, we take steps to delete it or make it unreadable. We store this data to protect our clients and our business in case questions about a past job come up later.

Your Choices and Rights

You have practical options when it comes to your personal information. You can ask us to access or update your details if something is wrong. You may also request that we delete your information where it is appropriate to do so. Some data must be kept for legal reasons, but we will always listen to your request.

You can manage how your browser handles cookies or limit certain uses of your data. If you want to make a written request about your privacy, you can send it by postal mail to 13238 Executive Park Terrace Ste 1, Germantown, MD 20874, United States. We will review your request and get back to you with an answer as soon as we can.

Security

We take the security of your information very seriously. We use technical and physical protections to keep your data safe from unauthorized people. Access to your personal details is restricted only to employees who need it to perform their work. We train our staff on how to handle client information with care and respect.

This includes using passwords and secure storage for our digital and paper files. However, you should know that no method of storing or sending data is perfectly secure. While we work hard to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute safety in every situation. We regularly check our systems to find and fix any security gaps.

If you are a parent and think your child has given us their information, please contact us. We will take steps to remove that data from our systems immediately. We focus our business on helping property owners navigate damage and repairs. We encourage parents to supervise their children’s online activities to help keep them safe. Our site is built for users who are old enough to enter into a service agreement.

Data Transfers

In some cases, your data may be processed by vendors located in different states or locations. This often happens with cloud storage or software tools we use for moisture mapping and billing.

We choose service providers who have strong security habits that match our own standards. We want your data to be safe no matter where it is processed.
