San Francisco Commercial Locksmith values the privacy of its customers, website visitors, and business contacts. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, retain, and disclose information when you visit sfcommerciallocksmith.com, request an appointment, contact us, or receive locksmith services from us.

In this Privacy Policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to San Francisco Commercial Locksmith. “You” refers to a website visitor, customer, prospective customer, property representative, or other person who communicates with us.

Because locksmith requests may involve access to secured property, we may ask for identification, proof of occupancy, proof of ownership, authorization from a property owner, or other documentation before opening or modifying a lock.

Please do not send alarm passwords, access-control administrator credentials, complete payment-card information, Social Security numbers, safe combinations, or other highly sensitive information through a general website form or ordinary email.

We may decline service when adequate authorization cannot be established.

Telephone Calls and Call Recording

When you call us, we may collect information such as your telephone number, call time, call duration, and information discussed during the call.

Calls may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance, training, dispatch accuracy, fraud prevention, customer-service review, or dispute resolution where permitted by law. Any legally required recording notice or consent should be provided before recording begins.

Information submitted during a call may be entered into a customer-management, dispatch, scheduling, or service platform.

Text-Message Communications

When you provide a mobile telephone number, we may send text messages relating to your locksmith request, including appointment confirmations, arrival updates, requests for additional information, estimates, or service follow-ups.

Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency depends on your request and interactions with us.

You may reply STOP to discontinue optional marketing text messages. Opting out of marketing messages does not prevent us from sending essential communications concerning an active appointment, transaction, or requested service where legally permitted.

We do not sell mobile telephone numbers or text-message consent information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small data files placed on a browser or device. Our website may use cookies and related technologies for purposes such as:

• Enabling essential website functions
• Remembering visitor preferences
• Protecting forms against spam or misuse
• Understanding website traffic
• Measuring page performance
• Identifying technical errors
• Evaluating advertising campaigns
• Preventing fraud and malicious activity

Some cookies may be placed by third-party analytics, advertising, map, hosting, security, or embedded-content providers.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may prevent certain website features from working properly.

When required by law, we may provide a consent banner or privacy-preference tool for nonessential tracking technologies.

Analytics and Advertising

We may use analytics services to understand how visitors reach and use the website. These providers may collect device, browser, interaction, and approximate-location data.

We may also use advertising platforms to:

• Measure whether an advertisement resulted in a website visit or inquiry
• Understand which campaigns generate service requests
• Prevent repetitive or fraudulent advertisements
• Show advertisements to potentially interested audiences

Depending on the technologies used and applicable law, certain advertising activities may be considered “sharing” personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising even when no money is exchanged.

Where required, users may opt out through a website privacy-preference tool, an applicable browser signal, or by contacting us.

How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to parties that help us provide and operate our services, including:

• Locksmith technicians and dispatch personnel
• Scheduling and customer-management providers
• Website hosting and maintenance companies
• Email, telephone, and text-message providers
• Call-routing or call-tracking services
• Payment processors
• Analytics and advertising providers
• Cybersecurity and fraud-prevention providers
• Accounting, legal, insurance, and professional advisers
• Property owners, managers, or authorized representatives when necessary to complete a requested service

These parties may receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their services or fulfill the requested transaction.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law
• Respond to a subpoena, court order, or lawful government request
• Investigate suspected fraud or unlawful activity
• Protect the rights, safety, or property of our customers, personnel, or others
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
• Enforce our agreements and policies
• Support a merger, sale, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or transfer of business assets

Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell personal information for money.

The use of certain advertising cookies or pixels may qualify as “sharing” under California law when information is used for advertising across different businesses or services.

When applicable, California residents may request to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. We will also process legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals when required and when our systems are capable of receiving them.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.

Categories of Personal Information

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of personal information:

Identifiers

Examples include your name, email address, telephone number, postal address, IP address, or customer record identifier.

Customer and Transaction Information

Examples include requested services, estimates, invoices, payment status, appointment details, correspondence, and transaction history.

Internet or Network Activity

Examples include browser information, device data, website activity, referring sources, and interactions with forms or advertisements.

Geolocation Information

Examples may include an approximate location based on an IP address or a physical location you provide for locksmith service.

Audio and Communication Information

Examples may include recorded calls, voicemail messages, emails, text messages, and customer-service communications.

Professional or Business Information

Examples may include your business name, job title, property-management role, or relationship to the service location.

Inferences

We may make limited inferences from service history or website activity, such as likely service interests or preferred communication methods.

Sensitive Personal Information

A service address, account credential, precise geolocation, or certain identification information could be classified as sensitive personal information under some circumstances. We use sensitive information only as reasonably necessary to verify authorization, provide requested services, protect security, prevent fraud, or comply with legal obligations.

California Privacy Rights

To the extent the California Consumer Privacy Act applies to us and your information, California residents may have the following rights:

Right to Know

You may request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collected about you, the sources of that information, our purposes for collecting it, and the categories of parties to whom it was disclosed, sold, or shared.

Right to Delete

You may request deletion of personal information we collected from you, subject to legal exceptions. We may retain information needed to complete a transaction, maintain records, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or protect legal rights.

Right to Correct

You may request correction of inaccurate personal information maintained about you.

Right to Opt Out

You may request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information where applicable.

Right to Limit Certain Uses of Sensitive Information

You may have the right to limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information when it is used beyond purposes permitted by California law.

We generally use sensitive information only when necessary to provide requested locksmith services, verify authorization, maintain security, process transactions, and comply with legal obligations.

Right to Data Portability

You may request that certain personal information be provided in a portable and reasonably usable format where required.

Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not unlawfully deny service, charge a different price, provide a different level of service, or retaliate against you because you exercised an applicable privacy right.

Submitting a California Privacy Request

You may submit a privacy request using either of the following methods:

Email: service@sfcommerciallocksmith.com
Phone: (415) 265-7211

Please clearly state the type of request you are making and provide enough information for us to identify the relevant records.

We may need to verify your identity before processing a request. Verification may involve confirming information previously provided to us. We will use verification information only for identity-confirmation, security, and fraud-prevention purposes.

We will respond within the time required by applicable law. When additional time is permitted and reasonably necessary, we will notify you.

Authorized Agents

A California resident may authorize another person to submit a privacy request on their behalf.

We may require the authorized agent to provide written proof of authorization. We may also contact the consumer directly to verify their identity and confirm that permission was granted, unless the agent holds a legally valid power of attorney.

Global Privacy Control

Where required by California law, we treat a supported Global Privacy Control or similar legally recognized browser-based preference signal as a request to opt out of applicable sales or sharing for the browser or device transmitting the signal.

Because these signals are typically browser- and device-specific, you may need to enable the preference separately on each browser or device you use.

Payment Processing

Payments may be handled by an independent payment processor. The payment provider may collect card details, billing information, authentication information, and transaction data directly from you.

We may receive limited transaction information, such as:

• Customer name
• Payment amount
• Transaction date
• Payment status
• Receipt or transaction identifier
• Limited card information, such as the last four digits

We do not intend to store complete payment-card numbers or card security codes through our general website forms.

Information Retention

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

Retention may depend on:

• Whether a service request remains active
• The type of locksmith work performed
• Customer-service and warranty needs
• Accounting and tax requirements
• Insurance requirements
• Fraud-prevention and security needs
• Potential or existing legal claims
• Applicable laws and recordkeeping obligations

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, aggregate, or securely dispose of it.

Information Security

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

These measures may include access controls, secure service providers, employee or contractor restrictions, system monitoring, and data-minimization practices.

No website, telephone system, email transmission, payment system, or electronic-storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For this reason, you should avoid sending highly sensitive security credentials through unsecured communications.

Third-Party Links and Embedded Services

The website may contain links to or content from third parties, including:

• Mapping services
• Review websites
• Social-media platforms
• Payment services
• Advertising platforms
• Scheduling tools
• Embedded videos or images

These third parties operate under their own privacy policies and security practices. We are not responsible for how an independent third party collects or uses information after you leave our website or interact directly with its services.

Children’s Information

Our website and services are intended for adults seeking commercial locksmith assistance. They are not directed toward children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that such information was submitted without proper authorization, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no single universally adopted method for responding to these signals, our website may not respond to traditional Do Not Track settings.

Where required, we will process legally recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy when our services, technology providers, legal obligations, or data-handling practices change.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated through an additional notice when appropriate.
