MyCleaningReviews – Privacy Policy

The bottom line is that MyCleaningReviews will NOT release your personal information without your consent when you write a cleaning review. We will use the information you submit in the quick cleaning quote form and forward it to professional cleaning companies that will contact you to provide you with your cleaning estimate only.

Earning the trust of our users is one of MyCleaningReviews’s primary goals. We take your privacy very seriously, and we want you to feel absolutely comfortable using our site. Our Privacy Policy answers the following general questions:

What information do you collect, how is it collected and how do you use it?
How is my privacy protected when I leave comments?
How will I know if you change your privacy policy?
What kind of security measures do you take?
What are the limits of your Privacy Policy?
How can I change my personal information?
What if I have more questions?
How can I be sure that you adhere to your Privacy Policy?

1. What information do you collect, how is it collected and how do you use it?

Anyone can visit our site free of charge. You are welcome to browse our ratings lists and read reviews without ever giving us your individual personal information. But we do need to gather some information about users who wish to submit ratings and reviews. We collect information in two ways: directly from you and through the use of “cookies”.

First, if you want to review a cleaning company, we will ask you to provide some personal information. If you have already registered, you know that the information we require is very basic: your e-mail address, a password.c One of the reasons we ask for your e-mail address is so that we can communicate with you and send you a validation email.

We also collect log files that identify information such as IP address, browser type, domain name, referral URL, country of origin, pages visited, entry points, and exit points.

We plan that, from time to time, we will provide certain companies (like our advertisers) with aggregated user information. We will NOT give advertisers or anyone else personal information about you without your specific authorization to do so, except when filling the quick quote form. While we don’t do it now, we expect that one day other businesses may ask us to do things like “broker” on-line focus groups, in which we may invite some users to participate (if they have chosen to be notified of those opportunities).

When the quick cleaning quote form is filled, the information is forwarded to cleaning companies that will use the information you have submitted to provide you with commercial information. The cleaning reviews information and the quick quote form information are not linked and are two totally separate types of information collected and saved in separate places.

From time to time we create co-branded or private label versions of our web site for third parties. A co-branded or private label version of our web site will bear the trademark or service mark, and perhaps the “look and feel”, of the third party sponsor (“Co-Brand Sponsor”) whose link brought you to our site. Personal information collected during the registration process from users of co-branded and private label versions of our web site will be shared with the relevant Co-Brand Sponsor. We require that each Co-Brand Sponsor commit to us that its collection and use of personal information shall be no less protective of users’ privacy than permitted by this Privacy Policy, as modified from time to time. However, while we strive to associate with other businesses who value your privacy, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of the Co-Brand Sponsors. You may wish to review those sites’ privacy policies.

Of course, notwithstanding anything in this policy to the contrary, we will provide personal information if we are or believe that we are legally required to do so pursuant to a subpoena, warrant, other legal method or applicable law.

2. How is my privacy protected when I leave comments?

One of the great features of MyCleaningReviews is that we allow you, as a user, to leave comments messages and written reviews, not just ratings, so you can explain your opinions in some detail. Please remember that when you post your comments they are publicly available, so you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose anything personal about yourself. This includes your e-mail address. Many of our users like to leave their e-mail addresses with their reviews message. That way others can e-mail them if they want to discuss the cleaning company or the specific move. You should realize that you are not obligated to attach your email address.

3. How will I know if you change your privacy policy?

This privacy policy may be revised over time as new features are added to the Web site. We will post those changes prominently so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone. If we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify you via e-mail. You will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this different manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post the notice we will also e-mail users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.

4. What kind of security measures do you take?

Any information you provide, other than information you chose to provide and make publicly available in your posts or filled in the quick cleaning quote, is maintained and accessible only by us, and only by those of our employees with a need to have access to such information in the performance of their work. This site has instituted commercially reasonable security measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control or in our possession. Unfortunately, data transmission over the Internet can not be guaranteed to be totally secure. Additionally, we also use outside companies to display ads on our site. These ads may contain cookies. While we use cookies in other parts of our Web site, cookies received with banner ads are collected by our ad company, and we do not have access to this information. Therefore, although we take measures, such as those described in this Privacy Policy, to protect your personal information, we can not warrant the security of information that you provide. Accordingly, you agree that you are providing such information at your own risk.

5. What are the limits of your Privacy Policy?

The MyCleaningReviews Web site contains hyperlinks and advertisements that, if activated in the manner provided by your browser, will cause your browser to access and display the contents of other Web sites. MyCleaningReviews does not control or have any knowledge concerning the provisions of the privacy policies, if any, of those sites. Accordingly, MyCleaningReviews is not responsible for the privacy practices or any of the content of those Web sites and MyCleaningReviews’s Privacy Policy does not apply to those other sites. If you choose to activate a hyperlink to another Web site, you do so at your own risk and you may wish to review that site’s privacy policy.
