Information We Collect
At Oregon Water Damage Pros, we collect information that helps us respond to your water damage emergencies and provide effective restoration services. The types of information we collect depend on how you interact with our website and services.
When you visit our website, orwaterdamagepros.pages.dev, you may choose to contact us through our online form or by calling our emergency phone line. If you submit information through our contact form, we collect your name, phone number, email address, and details about your water damage situation including your property address and a description of the damage. When you call us directly, we collect your phone number through caller ID and may record notes from our conversation about your service needs and property location.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, financial account details, or health information. Please do not provide this type of information when contacting us unless it is specifically necessary for insurance claim coordination, and even then we prefer to handle such exchanges through secure channels upon your explicit request.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide solely to deliver water damage restoration services and communicate with you about your project. Specifically, we use your contact details to respond to your emergency calls, dispatch our restoration team to your location, provide cost estimates, schedule service appointments, and follow up regarding service satisfaction and any warranty matters.
Your information also helps us coordinate with your insurance company when you authorize us to do so. We may use your property address and damage description to prepare documentation for insurance claims, though we will always obtain your explicit consent before contacting your insurer on your behalf.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your contact information for marketing purposes beyond sending you relevant information about your specific service request. If you receive service from us, we may contact you periodically with maintenance reminders or information about our services that relate to your property, but you can opt out of these communications at any time.
Phone Call Handling
Phone calls are the primary way customers reach Oregon Water Damage Pros during water damage emergencies. When you call our emergency line, your phone number is captured through standard caller ID systems. We do not routinely record phone conversations, though we may do so in limited circumstances with your knowledge and consent, such as when documenting specific damage details for insurance purposes.
Our phone system is operated by standard telecommunications providers and may involve routing through third-party call management services that help us ensure 24/7 availability for emergencies. These services have access to call metadata such as time, duration, and phone numbers, but do not access the content of your conversations unless call recording is explicitly activated with notice to you.
Information discussed during phone calls is entered into our service records by our dispatch team. These records are stored securely and retained for the period necessary to complete your service and satisfy any applicable warranty or legal requirements.
Cookies and Analytics
Our website uses standard cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality and understand how visitors use our site. These technologies help us recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and analyze traffic patterns to enhance user experience.
We use analytics services, which may include common platforms like Google Analytics, to collect information about website visits such as pages viewed, time spent on site, and general geographic location derived from IP addresses. This data is aggregated and anonymized where possible; we do not use analytics to track or identify individual users across the internet.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website, particularly features like our emergency contact form.
Third-Party Services
We rely on select third-party services to operate our business and website. These may include web hosting providers, email and communication services, payment processors for any deposits or payments, and insurance claim management platforms. We share your information with these providers only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services on our behalf.
We require all third-party service providers to maintain appropriate security measures and to use your personal information only for the specific purposes for which we engage them. We do not authorize these providers to sell or independently use your information for their own marketing purposes.
In certain situations, we may be required to disclose information to comply with legal obligations, such as responding to valid court orders, subpoenas, or regulatory requirements. We will also disclose information when necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our customers or others.
Data Security
Protecting your personal information is important to us, particularly given the stressful circumstances under which most customers contact us. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Our website uses encryption protocols for data transmission. Internal access to customer information is restricted to employees and contractors who need the information to perform their job duties. We regularly review our security practices and update them as needed to address evolving threats.
While we strive to protect your information, no security system is completely impenetrable. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable Oregon state law and federal regulations, and we will take prompt action to mitigate any harm.
Your Choices
You have several options regarding the personal information we maintain about you. You may request access to the information we have collected about you, ask us to correct inaccurate information, or request deletion of your information where appropriate. Please note that we may need to retain certain information for legal, insurance, or business record purposes even after a deletion request.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section below. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law. We do not charge a fee for processing reasonable requests, though we may charge for repeated or excessive requests.
Children's Privacy
Oregon Water Damage Pros does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. Our website and services are directed to adults who own or manage properties requiring restoration services. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately and we will take prompt steps to delete such information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically when visiting our website.
Your continued use of our website or services after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If we make significant changes that affect how we use information we have previously collected, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you directly when possible.
