When you submit a request through our website, we share your personal information with independent contractors in our network. This includes:

By submitting your information, you explicitly consent to us sharing this information with independent contractors for the purpose of receiving quotes and services. Contractors may contact you via phone, email, or text message.
We do not control how contractors use, store, or protect your information after we share it with them. Each contractor operates independently and may have their own privacy policies and data practices.
Other Information Sharing
In addition to sharing with contractors, we may share your information in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may share information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, such as email service providers, database hosting, and analytics providers. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
- Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Toronto Home Reno does not collect, process, or store any financial information. We do not collect:
- Credit card or debit card information
- Bank account numbers

All payment transactions occur directly between you and contractors. We are not involved in any financial transactions or payment processing related to contractor services.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Secure socket layer (SSL) encryption for data transmission
- Secure database storage with access controls
- Regular security audits and updates
- Limited employee access to personal information
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You transmit information to us at your own risk.
We are not responsible for the security practices of independent contractors who receive your information through our platform. Each contractor is responsible for protecting the information they receive.
