Site information · Updated September 23, 2026

Privacy policy

This policy describes the information that may be processed when you visit Chimney Sweeps HQ, browse the directory or contact us.

Information processed when you browse

Our hosting provider and essential site infrastructure may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, approximate request time and error logs. These records help deliver and protect the website. Hosting, security, performance, consent and analytics services may use cookies or similar technologies if configured. See your browser settings and any consent controls presented on the site.

Information you enter into tools

The Sweep Signal service-brief builder operates in your browser and is not submitted to Chimney Sweeps HQ by the tool. If you copy the brief, your browser handles that action. The directory's search filters are sent as page query parameters so results can be displayed; avoid entering sensitive personal information into search fields.

Business directory information

Public business profiles may include a company's name, service area, business contact information, listed services, and other business details from public or licensed sources and business submissions. Information can become outdated. A business can request correction or removal by emailing us with its profile URL and the specific record in question. We may need reasonable information to confirm authority to request a change.

How information is used

Information may be used to operate and secure the site, respond to a request, maintain the directory, investigate suspected misuse and meet applicable legal obligations. We do not sell information entered into the local service-brief builder; that text is not transmitted by the tool.

Service providers and retention

Infrastructure and site-service providers may process technical information on our behalf. Retention depends on the purpose, hosting configuration and legal requirements. We apply reasonable steps to limit access to information needed for those purposes.

Your choices and requests

You can use browser settings to manage cookies. You can request access to, correction of or removal of a business record, or ask a privacy question, using email@chimneysweepshq.com. Rights and response times depend on the applicable law and the request.

Children, external links and updates

This directory is for general homeowners and business research and is not directed to children. Links to other websites are governed by those sites' own privacy policies. We may update this policy when the site or applicable requirements change; the date at the top shows the latest revision.
