Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Top Notch LA Appliance Repair collects only the information needed to schedule service, communicate with you, process payment, and improve the safety and quality of our visits. Most data comes directly from you when you call, submit a web form, book online, or correspond with our office. We may also receive limited technical data automatically when you browse our website, such as device type, browser version, general location derived from IP address (city/metro region), and pages viewed. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not purchase marketing lists tied to sensitive health or financial categories.

We collect information that you provide to us directly, including:

• Name, address, email address, and phone number
• Appliance details and service history
• Payment and billing information
• Communication preferences
• Feedback and correspondence

When you request same-day or emergency appliance repair, we may collect additional operational details such as gate codes (only if you choose to provide them), parking instructions, and photos you voluntarily send to help us diagnose an issue before arrival. If you pay by card, payment details are handled by our payment processor; we avoid storing full card numbers on our own servers. If you leave a voicemail, we retain the recording only as long as needed to return your call and document the request.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to deliver the service you asked for: confirming appointments, dispatching technicians, ordering parts, sending appointment reminders, and following up on warranty work. We also use contact information to send transactional messages (for example, “your technician is on the way”) and, if you opt in, occasional promotional offers related to appliance maintenance. Website usage information helps us fix broken pages, measure demand for certain services, and detect fraud or abuse. We may aggregate and de-identify data for internal reporting (for example, understanding peak summer demand for refrigerator service), but that aggregated data cannot reasonably identify you.

We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:

• Schedule and provide appliance repair services
• Process payments and maintain billing records
• Send service confirmations, reminders, and updates
• Respond to your inquiries and customer service requests
• Improve our services and customer experience
• Send promotional offers only with your explicit consent; you may opt out at any time
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our legal rights
• Prevent fraud and ensure the security of our systems

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business (e.g., payment processors, scheduling software). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or government request, or when necessary to protect our rights, property, safety, or the safety of others.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred. We will notify you of any such change and any choices you may have.
• With Your Consent: We may share information with third parties when you have given us explicit permission to do so.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:

• Encryption: Sensitive data is encrypted in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest where applicable
• Access Controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis
• Secure Infrastructure: We use reputable, security-compliant service providers for hosting and data processing
• Payment Security: Payment information is processed through PCI-compliant payment processors; we do not store full credit card numbers
• Regular Reviews: We periodically review and update our security practices

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your data to the best of our ability. In the event of a data breach that affects your information, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by law.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Access and review your personal information
• Request corrections to inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal requirements)

7. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

8. California Privacy Rights

California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on our website with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

10. Data Retention

We retain service records, invoices, and customer communications for as long as needed to provide support, honor warranties, resolve disputes, and meet legal/tax recordkeeping obligations. Marketing preferences and cookie-based analytics are retained according to the underlying vendor’s settings and your browser controls. When data is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it in line with reasonable business practices and applicable law.
