Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 19, 2026


Explicit Grading and Land Clearing respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide through our website, advertising forms, telephone calls, emails, text messages, and other interactions with our business.


This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.


1. Information We Collect


We may collect the following categories of information:


Information you provide directly


This may include:

  • Your name
  • Telephone number
  • Email address
  • Mailing address or project location
  • Services you are interested in
  • Information about your property or proposed project
  • Photos, documents, or other materials you provide
  • Information submitted through a website form or advertising lead form
  • Communications you have with us by telephone, email, text message, or social media


Please do not submit sensitive personal information through our website forms.


Information collected automatically


When you visit our website or interact with one of our advertisements, we and our technology providers may automatically collect information such as:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser and device information
  • General geographic location
  • Referring website or advertisement
  • Pages viewed and actions taken on the website
  • Date and time of your visit
  • Form submissions and conversion events
  • Clicks on telephone numbers, email addresses, and other contact links
  • Cookie identifiers and advertising attribution information


Tracking a click on a telephone number tells us that a visitor initiated a call from the website. It does not record the contents of the telephone call. We will not record a call unless separate notice is provided when the call begins.


2. How We Use Information


We may use collected information to:

  • Respond to questions and estimate requests
  • Evaluate potential grading, land-clearing, excavation, demolition, driveway, forestry-mulching, storm-cleanup, or related projects
  • Schedule site visits, estimates, and services
  • Communicate about an estimate, requested service, or active project
  • Provide customer service
  • Maintain business and project records
  • Measure website and advertising performance
  • Determine which advertisements or marketing sources generate inquiries
  • Improve our website, advertising, and services
  • Prevent misuse, fraud, or security incidents
  • Comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations


We do not use telephone numbers submitted for an estimate or project request to send unrelated recurring promotional text messages.


3. Telephone, Email, and Text Communications


When you provide your contact information and request an estimate or information, you authorize Explicit Grading and Land Clearing to contact you by telephone, email, or text message regarding that request, estimate, site visit, or project.


Message and data rates may apply to text messages. Message frequency will depend on the needs of your estimate or project. You may ask us to stop text communications at any time by replying STOP or contacting us using the information below.


We do not require consent to receive recurring promotional text messages as a condition of purchasing services. At this time, submitted telephone numbers are used for estimate, project, and service-related communications rather than recurring promotional text campaigns.


4. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Technology


Our website may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, and similar technologies to operate the website, understand visitor activity, measure advertising results, and improve our marketing.


These technologies may be provided by services such as:

  • Duda
  • Google Analytics and Google Ads
  • Meta, including Facebook and Instagram
  • OpenAI advertising and measurement services
  • Website form, hosting, and communications providers


These providers may receive information about your device, browser, website activity, referral source, and conversion events. Depending on the technology and its configuration, information may be associated with cookies or advertising identifiers.


We may use this information to measure advertisements, create advertising audiences, or show relevant advertisements to people who previously interacted with our website. We do not control how third-party platforms independently process information under their own privacy policies.


Where required, nonessential analytics and advertising technologies will be managed through the website’s available cookie or privacy controls.


You can also limit cookies through your browser settings and adjust advertising preferences within Google, Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms you use. Disabling certain technologies may affect website functionality or the accuracy of advertising measurement.


5. How We Share Information


We may disclose information to service providers that help us operate our business, including website hosting, form processing, communications, analytics, advertising, data storage, security, and customer-management providers.


We may also disclose information:

  • To contractors or professionals assisting with a requested estimate or project
  • When required by law, court order, or legal process
  • To protect our customers, business, property, or legal rights
  • In connection with a merger, sale, restructuring, or transfer of business assets
  • With your direction or consent


We do not sell personal information to data brokers or other companies for monetary payment.


Certain uses of advertising cookies and audience technologies may be legally considered “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a “sale” under some state privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged. Where applicable, you may request that we stop using your information for those purposes by contacting us.


Information obtained through Meta lead forms is used to respond to your request and provide information about the services you requested. It is not sold to third parties.


6. Data Retention


We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.


As a general operating standard:

  • Estimate and inquiry records may be retained for up to three years after the last interaction.
  • Customer, project, payment, and transaction records may be retained for up to seven years, or longer when required by law.
  • Website analytics and advertising information may be retained according to the settings and retention periods of the applicable technology provider.
  • Information may be retained longer when reasonably necessary to resolve a dispute, enforce an agreement, prevent fraud, or satisfy a legal obligation.


Information that is no longer required will be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of when reasonably practical.


7. Your Privacy Choices


Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have the right to request that we:

  • Confirm whether we maintain personal information about you
  • Provide access to certain personal information
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Delete certain information
  • Stop using information for targeted advertising
  • Provide information about categories of information disclosed to third parties


To make a request, email info@explicitgradingandlandclearing.com with the subject line Privacy Request.


We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may be retained when required for contracts, accounting, taxes, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or the establishment or defense of legal claims.


We will not discriminate against you for making a legitimate privacy request.


8. Data Security


We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure.

No website, electronic transmission, or storage system is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted or stored electronically.


9. Third-Party Websites and Platforms


Our website and advertisements may contain links to third-party websites, social-media platforms, maps, or other external services.


This Privacy Policy does not govern information collected independently by those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before submitting information.


10. Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults seeking property-related services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.


11. Changes to This Policy


We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, technology, services, or legal obligations change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.


Continued use of the website after an update is posted constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
