3. Quotes, Address Searches, and Conditional Forms

The CES Plus+ quote form may display different questions depending on the service selected or information entered. This allows us to request only the details relevant to the project.

If the website provides address-search or address-completion features, the address entered may be transmitted to a mapping or location-service provider so that provider can return suggested or standardized addresses.

Submitting a form does not guarantee that CES Plus+ will accept a project, provide a particular service, or honor an automatically generated price.

4. Photographs, Videos, and Uploaded Files

Files submitted through the website may contain information about a property, its occupants, vehicles, personal belongings, documents, or surrounding area.

We may use uploaded files to:

  • Prepare or revise an estimate;

  • Determine access, staffing, equipment, or disposal requirements;

  • Document property conditions;

  • Coordinate and perform services;

  • Address customer questions or disputes;

  • Maintain insurance, safety, and business records; and

  • Comply with legal obligations.

Please review files before uploading them and remove information unrelated to the service request.

CES Plus+ will obtain permission before publicly using material that clearly identifies a customer or reveals sensitive personal information. Property or project photographs that do not identify the customer may be used for portfolio or marketing purposes where permitted by law, unless the customer asks us in writing not to use them publicly.

5. Calls, Emails, and Text Messages

If you provide an email address or telephone number, CES Plus+ may contact you regarding:

  • Your inquiry or quote request;

  • Appointments and scheduling;

  • Property access;

  • Project updates;

  • Requested documents or information;

  • Invoices and payments;

  • Customer-service follow-up; and

  • Other matters related to your relationship with CES Plus+.

With any consent required by law, we may also send promotional emails or text messages about CES Plus+ services.

Consent to receive marketing messages is not a condition of purchasing services. You may unsubscribe from promotional emails using the link provided in the message. You may opt out of promotional text messages by replying STOP or contacting us.

After an opt-out request, we may send a confirmation and may continue to send non-marketing communications concerning an active inquiry, appointment, project, payment, safety matter, or legal obligation.

Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on a browser or device. CES Plus+ and its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Operate website features;

  • Remember preferences;

  • Maintain website security;

  • Understand how visitors use the website;

  • Diagnose technical problems;

  • Measure marketing performance;

  • Prevent fraud or misuse; and

  • Provide or evaluate advertising.

Depending on the website’s configuration, these technologies may include:

Essential Technologies

These support functions such as navigation, form submission, security, and user preferences.

These help us understand visits, traffic sources, page use, and website performance.

Advertising Technologies

These may help measure advertisements, understand whether an advertisement led to an inquiry, or present advertising based on website activity.

You may be able to restrict cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may cause some website features to function incorrectly.

Where required, CES Plus+ will use a cookie notice or consent mechanism that provides additional choices.

7. How We Disclose Information

CES Plus+ may disclose information to the following recipients for legitimate business purposes.

Contractors and Project Partners

Information may be provided to employees, independent contractors, disposal facilities, transportation providers, equipment operators, estate-sale personnel, or other parties assisting with an approved project.

Legal and Safety Disclosures

At Your Direction

We may disclose information to another person when you authorize or direct us to do so.

8. Sale of Personal Information

CES Plus+ does not sell personal information for money.

Some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” broadly enough to include certain uses of advertising cookies or disclosure of online identifiers to advertising partners.

If CES Plus+ engages in activity subject to those definitions, we will provide any notice and opt-out method required by applicable law.

9. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Respond to an inquiry;

  • Provide requested services;

  • Maintain customer and project records;

  • Process and document payments;

  • Satisfy tax, accounting, insurance, and contractual requirements;

  • Resolve disputes;

  • Enforce agreements;

  • Maintain safety and quality records; and

  • Comply with applicable law.

Retention periods vary according to the type of information, the nature of the project, legal requirements, and legitimate business needs.

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

10. Data Security

CES Plus+ uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, transmission method, storage system, or security measure is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

If a security incident affects information for which notification is legally required, CES Plus+ will provide notice in accordance with applicable law.

11. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your relationship with CES Plus+ and the law that applies where you live, you may have the right to request that we:

  • Confirm whether we maintain personal information about you;

  • Provide access to certain personal information;

  • Correct inaccurate information;

  • Delete certain information;

  • Provide a portable copy of certain information;

  • Restrict or object to certain processing;

  • Stop marketing communications; or

  • Opt you out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing activities.

These rights are not absolute. We may retain information when reasonably necessary to complete a transaction, maintain required records, protect legal rights, prevent fraud, comply with law, or satisfy another lawful exception.

To submit a privacy request, contact CES Plus+ using the information at the end of this Policy. Please describe your request clearly.

We may need to verify your identity and authority before completing a request. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, but we may require proof of that authorization.

CES Plus+ will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

12. Do Not Track and Browser Signals

Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” settings. Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to these settings, the website may not respond to every Do Not Track signal.

Where required by applicable law and supported by the website’s technology, CES Plus+ will process legally recognized browser-based opt-out signals.

13. Third-Party Websites and Platforms

The website may link to third-party websites or use third-party scheduling, mapping, payment, social-media, review, or communication platforms.

CES Plus+ does not control the privacy or security practices of those third parties. Information you provide directly to a third party is governed by that party’s privacy policy and terms.

We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information.

14. Social Media

If you interact with CES Plus+ through a social-media platform, we may receive your public profile information, messages, comments, and other information made available through that platform.

The platform separately collects and uses information according to its own privacy policy.

15. Children’s Privacy

The CES Plus+ website and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, contact us so we can review and, when appropriate, delete it.

16. Information About Other People

If you provide personal information about another person, you represent that you have the authority or permission necessary to provide it and to allow CES Plus+ to use it for the relevant purpose.

Please avoid uploading photographs or documents containing unnecessary information about other individuals.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

CES Plus+ may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, services, or legal obligations.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through another reasonable method when required.
