Information We Collect
At Rhode Island Plumbing Pros, we collect information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us for plumbing services. This typically includes your name, phone number, email address, and physical address of the property requiring service. We may also collect details about your plumbing issue, property type, and preferred appointment times to help us dispatch the right technician with the appropriate equipment.
If you submit a service request through our website form, we collect the information you enter into the required fields. For customers who choose to pay by credit card, payment processing is handled by our secure third-party processor—we do not store complete credit card numbers on our servers.
In the course of providing service, our technicians may document notes about your property's plumbing systems, photographs of work areas or completed repairs, and records of parts used. These records help us provide better service on future visits and maintain any applicable warranties.
How We Use Your Information
We use your contact information solely to communicate with you about your plumbing service needs. This includes scheduling appointments, sending appointment confirmations and reminders, providing estimates, completing invoicing, and following up on work performed. We may also use your information to respond to warranty claims or service guarantees.
With your explicit permission, we may contact you periodically with maintenance reminders or seasonal plumbing tips relevant to Rhode Island homeowners. You may opt out of these communications at any time. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
Internal records help us analyze service patterns, improve our response times, and train our technicians. Aggregated, anonymized data may be used for business planning, but this never identifies individual customers.
Phone Call Handling
When you call Rhode Island Plumbing Pros at our listed number, your call may be recorded for quality assurance and training purposes. Recordings help us ensure accurate information capture, verify details discussed, and maintain high customer service standards. Notification of recording practices is provided at the beginning of each call, and you may request that a specific call not be recorded.
Caller ID information, including your phone number, is displayed to our dispatch staff to facilitate callbacks and maintain service records. We retain call logs containing date, time, duration, and originating number for business and billing records. Emergency calls received after hours are routed through our answering service, which operates under confidentiality agreements protecting your information.

Third-Party Services
Rhode Island Plumbing Pros relies on select third-party service providers to operate our business efficiently. These include our payment processor for secure transaction handling, our website hosting provider, email delivery services for appointment communications, and our telephone answering service for after-hours emergency calls.
Each provider is contractually obligated to handle your data securely and only for the specific purposes we designate. We do not authorize these providers to use your information for their own marketing or to share it with additional parties. We periodically review our vendors' security practices and privacy commitments.
If we are required by law to disclose information—such as in response to a valid court order or subpoena—we will do so only to the extent legally mandated and will notify you when permitted.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. Our website uses HTTPS encryption for data transmission. Internal access to customer records is restricted to employees and technicians who need the information to perform their jobs.
Physical service records are stored in locked facilities. Digital records are maintained on password-protected systems with regular security updates. While no system can guarantee absolute security, we take our responsibility to protect your information seriously and respond promptly to any suspected security incidents.
Your Choices
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you. To make such a request, please contact us using the information below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may ask you to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
You may decline to provide certain information, though this may prevent us from completing service requests or honoring warranties. You may opt out of non-essential communications at any time by following unsubscribe instructions in emails or by telling our phone representative.
Rhode Island residents have additional rights under state law regarding their personal information. We honor all applicable privacy rights and do not discriminate against customers who exercise them.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently gathered data from a minor, we will delete that information promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information should contact us immediately.

This privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. We will post the revised policy on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes that affect how we use previously collected information will be communicated to you directly when feasible. We encourage you to review this policy whenever you visit our website.
