This policy explains, in plain words, what this site collects and why. It covers this website only. It does not cover a provider's website, a provider's forms or a provider's privacy practices. When you are connected to a provider, ask that provider for its own privacy policy.
Information you share with us
You may share your city, ZIP, foundation type and a description of signs you see. You may share a name and a contact method if you ask for a referral or a reply. Share only what is needed for that request. Do not share payment details, bank details, passwords or government ID numbers with this site.
If you send photos, send only photos of the foundation, walls and floors. Do not send photos that show personal documents, mail, keys or other private details. We do not need those details to answer a website question.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information when you visit. That can include pages visited, browser type, device type and approximate location based on network data. That data helps us find broken pages and improve readability. It does not, by itself, identify you by name.
We do not use this site to track you across other websites for advertising. We do not publish your name, address or contact details on this site. If a future version of this site adds analytics or forms, this policy will be updated to describe them before they collect new personal data.
How we use information
We use information you share to answer your question, to correct a page or to make a referral you requested. For a referral, we share only the details a provider needs to contact you and to prepare for an assessment. That usually means your city area, foundation type and a short description of signs.
We do not use your information to set a repair price. A provider sets its own price after an on site look. We do not use your information to make a credit decision. This site does not offer credit, and it does not sell credit products.
Sharing with providers
When you ask for a referral, we share your request details with an independent local provider. That provider may pay us for the referral. That provider is a separate party. Its handling of your data is governed by its own policy and by law.
Ask the provider what data it keeps, how long it keeps it and who else it shares it with. If you do not want a provider to keep your details after a quote, tell that provider directly. We cannot delete a provider's own records for you, but we can note your request about our own records.
Your choices
You can browse city, service and blog pages without sharing personal details. You can ask us to correct information you sent us in error. You can ask what information we hold about a request you made, within the limits of law and our records.
You can also decline a referral at any time before work starts. Declining a referral does not create a charge from FoundationNear. If you already agreed to work with a provider, that agreement is between you and that provider.
Data security and retention
We keep referral request details only as long as needed to handle the request, to answer follow up questions and to meet legal duties. We use reasonable technical steps to protect stored details. No website can promise perfect security. Do not send highly sensitive details through a general contact form.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new last verified date. Material changes will be described in plain words. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the new version for future visits.

Common questions
Does FoundationNear sell my personal information?
This policy does not promise a sale of personal information. We collect only what is needed to run the site and to make a referral when you ask for one. If this policy changes, the new version will state the change plainly. Check this page again before you share new information if you are unsure.
