How this site handles your information
Ontario Hoarding Cleanup Directory is an independent directory of hoarding cleanup businesses in Ontario, published by Ontario Hoarding Cleanup Directory. This page explains what information the site collects when you use it, where that information goes, and how to reach us about it.
What we collect
When you send an enquiry or quote request through a form on this site, we collect what you enter: your name, email address, phone number, your message, and any answers you give about the service you need or your timing. Alongside that, the form records the page you submitted from and basic traffic-source attribution, meaning the referring site and any UTM tags on the link that brought you here.
Where your enquiry goes
Your submission goes through our lead-capture processor, which delivers it to the hoarding cleanup business you enquired about and to the site operator. Those are the only recipients of a form submission.
Cookies and local storage
The site uses sessionStorage in your browser to remember how you arrived (referrer, landing page, UTM parameters) so that an enquiry sent later in your visit carries the right source. It is first-party and session-scoped, not a tracking cookie; it is gone when your browser session ends and is never shared across sites.
Analytics
Where analytics is enabled on this site, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager may set cookies to help us understand which pages visitors use. Google’s own privacy policy applies to that data.
Services this site loads
Some page elements load from third-party services, which means those services see your browser’s requests (including your IP address): Google Fonts for typography, OpenStreetMap for map tiles, and Cloudflare Turnstile for spam protection on forms, when enabled. Each operates under its own privacy policy.
Business listing information
Information about listed businesses comes from publicly available sources, including Google Business Profile reviews. The site stores our derived analysis of that material (scores, summaries, sentiment tags) rather than the reviews themselves. Corrections and removal requests are handled through the listing policy.
Your requests
We hold your submission for as long as it takes to route and follow up your enquiry. If you want to know what we hold, or want it corrected or deleted, send your request to the publisher contact details on the about page.
