Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 25, 2026

BackyardPutter.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website as a homeowner resource and installer connection service. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

When you submit a quote request, contact us, or sign up for communications, we may collect:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• ZIP code / service location
• Project details (estimated green size, budget range, project description)

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our site, we automatically collect standard web analytics data including:

• IP address (anonymized)
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and time on site
• Referring website
• Device type

This data is collected through Google Analytics and standard server logs. We use this information to understand how visitors use our site and improve our content — never to identify individual users.

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics (Google Analytics), site functionality, and to remember your preferences. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality but will not prevent you from accessing our content.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

• Connect you with local installing contractors in your area
• Send you information related to your quote request
• Respond to support or contact inquiries
• Send optional email updates about our guides and resources (only if you opt in)
• Improve our installer network and service quality

We do not use your information for unrelated advertising, sell your data to data brokers, or share your information beyond what is necessary to fulfill your quote request.

3. How We Share Your Information

Installer Partners: When you submit a quote request, we share your contact information and project details with 2–4 pre-screened local installers in your area. This is the core service you are requesting. By submitting a quote form, you consent to this sharing.

Service Providers: We use third-party services to operate this site, including hosting providers, analytics platforms (Google Analytics), and email delivery services. These providers process data on our behalf under data processing agreements and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your information with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for marketing purposes unrelated to your quote request.

4. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill your request and maintain our service relationship, or as required by law. Quote request data is typically retained for 2 years. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate information
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal information
• Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email we send
• Do Not Sell: We do not sell personal information; no opt-out is necessary for this purpose

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA. Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut residents have additional rights under their respective state privacy laws. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our service is intended for adults (18+) making home improvement decisions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to our site, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. Our site uses HTTPS encryption for all data transmission. However, no internet transmission is completely secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security of information you send to us.

8. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to external sites (installer websites, resource links, etc.). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Review the privacy policy of any external site before providing personal information.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
