Privacy Policy
What information this site collects, why, and what happens to it.
Last updated: 2026
Who This Policy Covers
This policy applies to mercedtreecare.com. Merced Tree Care is a local service website that helps property owners connect with independent tree service professionals serving the Merced area.
Information You Give Us
The estimate form asks for your name, phone number, and optionally your email address, along with details about the property and the tree work you need. You choose what to submit. Nothing on this site requires you to create an account.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, the pages you visited, and the site or search that referred you. This is used to understand how the site is performing and to keep it working properly.
How Your Information Is Used
- To respond to your request and discuss the tree work you asked about
- To pass your request to an independent tree service professional who covers your area, so they can follow up
- To provide a quote and schedule work if you decide to go ahead
- To keep records of requests and correspondence
Your information is not sold. It is not rented to advertisers, and it is not added to marketing lists unrelated to the request you submitted.
Who Your Information Is Shared With
Requests submitted through this site are shared with independent tree service professionals serving the Merced area so they can respond to you directly. Those businesses operate on their own and handle your information under their own practices once it reaches them.
Information may also be handled by service providers used to run the site, such as the website host and the form handling service, and may be disclosed if required by law or to protect legal rights.
Cookies
This site does not set advertising or tracking cookies of its own. The host or a form handling service may set functional cookies needed for the site to work and for spam prevention. Your browser settings let you block or delete cookies, though that can affect how some pages behave.
Third Party Services
Web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to Google's servers when a page loads. That request is subject to Google's own privacy practices. This site does not send your form submissions to Google.
How Long Information Is Kept
Request details and related correspondence are kept as long as needed to respond, complete any resulting work, and meet ordinary business record keeping. You can ask for your information to be removed at any time.
Your Choices
You can ask what information is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. You can also ask not to be contacted further. California residents have additional rights under state privacy law, including the right to know what personal information has been collected and to request its deletion.
To make any of these requests, use the contact page or call the number listed on this site.
Children
This site is intended for property owners and is not directed at children. Information is not knowingly collected from anyone under 13.
Security
Reasonable measures are used to protect information submitted through this site, including encrypted transmission. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in how the site operates or in applicable law. The date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
