III. Purposes for which Personal Data is Collected and Used

We limit our collection of Personal Information to that which is necessary for its intended purpose. We may use Personal Data to do the following:

Provide Services. We may use the Personal Data that you provide in order to respond to a request for an estimate; furnish a requested product or service to you; respond to your email or other inquiry; to help improve our services; or to send to you updates or notices about our products and services that we think may be of interest to you. In order to provide you with the full range of services you request from us, it may be necessary for us to share Personal Data within a controlled group of related entities through a compliance program, or other companies that we have engaged to provide services on our behalf. We require those companies to use your Personal Data solely for the purposes for which it was provided and consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Conduct Surveys. From time to time, we may use survey forms to better understand our customers’ needs, to evaluate our services, and to create products and services that respond to their interests. Customers may decline to participate in these surveys. We will not disclose survey response information outside of our controlled group of related entities, other than to our survey vendor(s) who assist us in collecting and analyzing such information or to other authorized service providers, solely for the purpose of improving our products and services.

Comply With Legal Processes. There are situations where we may disclose to third parties the Personal Data we collect as required by lawful requests from public authorities or to meet law enforcement requirements. This may include disclosure to government entities, courts or other entities, such as in response to subpoenas or other legal or regulatory processes, or to protect against fraud.

Other Business Interests.

We may also share anonymized data, such as statistical or demographic information in aggregate form, with third parties for research or marketing purposes. However, this anonymized data will not contain any of your individually identifiable Personal Data.

Credit Reporting Agencies. We may report information about your account(s) to credit bureaus and/or consumer reporting agencies. Late payments, missed payments, or other defaults on your account(s) may be reflected in your credit report and/or consumer report and may affect your ability to obtain credit.
