The website may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • operate essential website functions;
  • remember preferences;
  • understand website traffic and performance;
  • identify technical problems; and
  • measure or improve advertising campaigns.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Where required by applicable law, we will recognize supported browser-based opt-out preference signals for targeted advertising or the sale of personal data.

5. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information to:

  • website hosting and technology providers;

  • other parties at your direction or with your consent.

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.

If advertising or analytics technologies are enabled, limited online identifiers may be disclosed to advertising or analytics providers. Certain privacy laws may define some of these activities as “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a “sale,” even when no money is exchanged.

Mobile telephone numbers, SMS opt-in information, and text messaging consent records are not sold or shared with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

  • respond to and complete service requests;
  • maintain service and warranty records;
  • satisfy accounting, tax, insurance, licensing, and legal obligations;
  • resolve disputes;
  • enforce agreements; and
  • protect the security and integrity of our business.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected. When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, email system, data transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Customers should avoid submitting sensitive financial information, passwords, Social Security numbers, or other unnecessary sensitive information through ordinary website contact forms.

Phone: (612) 636-4357

Please include “Privacy Request” in the subject line and explain the right you wish to exercise.

We may need to verify your identity before completing the request. An authorized agent may submit certain requests where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization.

If we deny a request, you may appeal by emailing us with the subject line “Privacy Request Appeal.”

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

9. Text Messages and Telephone Communications

Keep this section only if SOS Home Services sends SMS messages.

If you provide a telephone number in connection with a service request, we may contact you regarding that request, including appointment confirmations, technician arrival updates, service questions, estimates, and customer support.

Providing a telephone number through a general contact form does not automatically enroll you in recurring promotional text messages.

If you separately and expressly opt in to promotional SMS messages:

  • message frequency may vary;
  • message and data rates may apply;
  • consent is not a condition of purchasing services;
  • you may reply STOP to unsubscribe;
  • you may reply HELP for assistance; and
  • opting out of promotional messages will not necessarily prevent necessary one-to-one communications concerning an active service request.

Requests to stop automated calls or texts will be honored as required by applicable law. The FCC states that consumers may revoke consent through any reasonable method.

10. Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for homeowners, property managers, and other adults seeking home services. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

11. Third-Party Privacy Practices

Third-party platforms integrated with or linked from the website may collect information under their own privacy policies.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any external scheduling, payment, social media, map, analytics, or other service they choose to use.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, business practices, service providers, or legal obligations change.

The current version will be posted on this page with the applicable “Last Updated” date. If a change materially affects how previously collected information is used, we will provide additional notice where required by law.
