Quote-request data map
The website should request only the information needed to calculate, deliver, explain, or follow up on the estimate.
| Information | Purpose | Customer control |
|---|---|---|
| Pickup and delivery locations | Route, mileage, access, and service planning | Use accurate locations; clarify whether an address is a meeting point |

| Comments | Explain a material condition or coordination need | Do not add unnecessary sensitive information |
Use, processing, and sharing boundaries
Submitted information is used to operate the quote and communication workflow. The current published policy states that quote information is not sold. Technical or communication providers may process limited data to host the site, calculate the estimate, create the PDF, deliver messages, prevent abuse, or support the requested service.
A broker, carrier, or other provider reached through a later transaction may maintain its own privacy practices. Review that provider’s identity and terms before supplying additional information outside this website.
- Do not use quote information for an undisclosed, incompatible purpose.
- Limit provider access to the function being performed.
- Do not publish customer contact, route, vehicle, or request details.
- Update this policy before introducing a materially different data use.
- Keep public claims synchronized with the actual form, delivery, analytics, and storage configuration.
Choices, retention, and security boundaries
A person may request access to, correction of, or deletion of information submitted through the website by using the contact channel in the footer and providing enough context to locate the request. Identity may need to be verified before a request is completed.
No internet system can promise absolute security. The website should minimize collection, restrict access, use appropriate technical safeguards, and retain information only for legitimate operational, dispute, security, or legal needs.
| Request | Useful context | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Contact details and approximate submission date | Information may be withheld when disclosure would affect another person or violate law |
| Correction | The field that is inaccurate and the correct value | Historical transaction records may require an audit trail |
| Deletion | Enough detail to locate the request | Some records may be retained for legitimate legal, security, or dispute needs |
| Communication preference | Email or phone associated with the request | Transactional messages needed to complete an active request may differ from marketing |
