Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 21, 2026

LakeEffectLeads ("we," "us") operates lakeeffectleads.com, a free service that connects Western New York homeowners with independent local basement-waterproofing contractors. This policy explains what we collect when you request a quote and how we use and share it.

Information you give us

When you submit the quote form, we collect the information you provide: your name, phone number, ZIP code, timing, and a description of your basement issue. Please don't include sensitive personal information in the description.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, basic technical data (such as IP address, browser type, and timestamp) may be collected by our hosting and form providers for security and spam prevention. This site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and our quote form is processed by Formspree; each handles limited connection/submission data under its own privacy policy.

How we use your information

• To contact you about your request by phone, text, or email;
• To connect you with a local waterproofing contractor who can provide a quote;
• To prevent spam and abuse, and to operate and improve the site.

How we share your information

We share the details you submit with one or more independent local waterproofing contractors so they can follow up and give you a quote — that is the purpose of the service. We also rely on service providers (our website host and form processor) that process data on our behalf to deliver your request to us. We do not sell your information to unrelated third parties for their own marketing.

Your consent to be contacted

By submitting the form, you consent to be contacted about your request by phone, text, or email by LakeEffectLeads and the local contractor we connect you with, including by automated means where permitted. Consent is not a condition of any purchase. You can opt out at any time — reply STOP to a text, ask to be removed on a call, or email us (below) — and we will honor your request.

Data retention

We keep request details only as long as needed to connect you with a contractor and for reasonable record-keeping, then delete or anonymize them.

Your choices

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the information you submitted, or to stop contacting you, by emailing contact@lakeeffectleads.com. We do not knowingly collect information from children, and the site is intended for homeowners 18+.

Changes

We may update this policy; the "last updated" date above reflects the latest revision.
