3. Sharing Your Information with Inspection Companies

Our core service is connecting customers with home inspection companies in LA. Therefore, submitting your data constitutes explicit consent to data sharing.

By submitting your information, you explicitly agree to data sharing with these third-party home inspectors. The relevant inspection company that matches your geographic area and service needs will contact you directly via phone, text, or email to provide quotes and schedule services. We do not control how these independent businesses handle data once received.

In addition to helping us connect you with home inspection companies, the information you provide supports the operation and improvement of our website. We may also use it to assist customers, share administrative or promotional communications, comply with applicable laws, and address suspected fraud.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security during the transmission of data to our third-party partners.
