Privacy Policy

About This Policy

BuildLocal NWIL ("we," "us," or "our") operates buildlocalnwil.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and who we may share it with. By using our site or submitting a form, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly when you fill out a form on our site. This includes:

• Name
• Phone number
• Email address
• City or ZIP code
• Project type and details
• Preferred timeframe (for homeowners)
• Business name and description (for contractors)
• Service area and website (for contractors)

We do not collect payment information. We do not require you to create an account.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your project request or contractor application
• Share your contact information and project details with local contractors who may be able to help
• Follow up with you about your request
• Improve how our service works

We do not sell your information to third parties. We do not use your information for advertising purposes unrelated to your request.

How We Share Your Information

When you submit a homeowner quote request, we share your name, contact information, location, and project details with local contractors in Northwest Illinois who serve your area. This is the core purpose of our service — without sharing this information, we cannot connect you with a contractor.

When you submit a contractor application, we use your information internally to evaluate your application and follow up with you. We do not share contractor application details publicly.

We may share information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users or others.

Data Storage and Security

Your information is stored through the platform that powers our website (WordPress.com). We take reasonable precautions to protect the information you submit, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain your information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as required by applicable law.

Cookies and Site Analytics

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site. This information is used to improve the site and is not linked to personally identifiable information you submit through our forms. You can disable cookies through your browser settings.

Your Choices

If you would like to request that we delete your information or stop contacting you, please reach out to us directly using the contact information below. We will honor reasonable requests.

Children’s Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through our site, please contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of our site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
