- Contact Parameters: First and last name, phone number, and email address.
- Geographic Parameters: Service area zip codes and physical address details.
- Diagnostic Parameters: Selected infestation indicators, bite symptoms, and structural notes.
4. How Data is Distributed and Shared
To fulfill your active localized inspection and treatment requests, the data parameters you input into our intake cards are instantly securely transmitted to independent, locally licensed partner contractors assigned to your geographic service route.
- No Third-Party Sales: We do not sell, lease, trade, or distribute your private contact records to third-party data brokers or external marketing lists. Your data is used solely for immediate pest control dispatch routing.
5. Tracking Technologies and Cookies
