Our website uses cookies and similar tools to help our site work correctly. Cookies are small files that stay on your computer or phone. They help us remember your preferences and see which parts of our site are most popular. We use basic types of cookies for site function and to track how users interact with our content.

You have the choice to limit or clear cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely if you prefer.

These tools are common and help us make the online experience better for everyone visiting our restoration pages.

Sharing and Disclosure

We only share your information when it is necessary to complete your restoration project. We may share details with service partners and subcontractors who help us with specialized repairs. We also share documentation with your insurers if you give us permission to do so. Payment processors receive information to handle your bills safely.

We share data for compliance and safety needs or when the law requires it. Island Damage Recovery Pros does not sell your personal data to other companies for marketing.

Data Retention

We keep our records for as long as needed for operational and safety reasons. We also hold onto documents for tax and legal purposes as required by law. The length of time we keep information varies by the type of document. For example, insurance documentation and job contracts are kept longer than simple website usage data.

We follow local regulations to decide when it is time to delete certain files. Keeping these records allows us to provide warranties and follow up on the work we performed. Once the retention period ends, we dispose of the data in a safe and secure way. This ensures that your private details are not kept longer than they are useful.

You have several practical options regarding your personal information. You can ask to access or update the details we have on file for you. You may also request that we delete your information where it is appropriate to do so. You have the right to limit how we use certain data or manage how cookies work on your device.

We will review your request and respond according to the law. We want to make sure you feel in control of the information you share with our local restoration team.

Security

Island Damage Recovery Pros uses several safeguards to protect your information. We restrict access to your data so only the employees who need it can see it. Our team receives training on how to handle client information with care. We use reasonable technical and physical protections to keep our digital and paper files safe.

While we work hard to protect your data, no method of storage or transmission over the internet is perfectly secure. We monitor our systems to catch problems early and keep our software updated. We take these steps because we value the trust you place in us when we enter your home to perform restoration and cleanup services.

Our services and website are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of eighteen. Our restoration work is intended for adults, homeowners, or authorized representatives of a business. If we learn that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete that data immediately.

We encourage parents to monitor how their children use the internet. Accounts and service requests must be handled by an adult who can sign contracts and make decisions about property repairs. This ensures that all our business dealings are handled by the proper parties in a legal and safe manner.
