This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes the practices of Spyxaronstaphis ("we," "us," or "our") regarding the collection, use, disclosure, retention, and protection of personal information when you access or use our website located at spyxaronstaphis.world (the "Site") and when you engage, inquire about, or receive our shrub trimming, tree pruning, hedge shaping, seasonal landscape maintenance, and related outdoor care services (the "Services"). We are committed to handling your personal information in a transparent and lawful manner in accordance with applicable federal and state laws in the United States, including where applicable state consumer privacy laws may impose additional obligations.
By using the Site or providing your information to us in connection with the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Site or provide your personal information to us. We may update this Policy from time to time; the "Last Updated" or effective date at the top or bottom of this page will reflect the most recent revision.

For the purposes of this Policy, "personal information" means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is capable of being associated with a particular individual or household. This includes but is not limited to identifiers such as name, postal address, email address, telephone number, property address where Services are performed, and any other information you voluntarily provide when requesting quotes, scheduling appointments, or communicating with us about shrub trimming or tree care.

Information You Provide
We collect information that you voluntarily provide when you interact with us. This includes when you fill out the contact form on the Site to request a quote or ask questions about our shrub trimming and tree care services; when you contact us by telephone, email, or in person to schedule an appointment, confirm a visit, or discuss the scope of work; when you provide your property address and any special instructions for access or safety; and when you provide payment or billing information if we collect payment in advance or after completion of services.

We use this information solely for the purposes of providing and managing the Services, communicating with you about your appointments and quotes, sending service-related reminders or updates (e.g., confirmation of scheduled shrub trimming or tree pruning dates), and responding to your inquiries. We do not use the information you provide for purposes incompatible with these objectives without your consent.

When you visit the Site, we or our service providers may automatically collect certain technical and usage information. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, referring URL, pages viewed on the Site, date and time of access, and general geographic location (e.g., region or country) derived from your IP address. This information is used to operate and secure the Site, to understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., which pages are most viewed when researching shrub trimming or tree care options), to improve the content and user experience, and to detect and prevent fraud or abuse. We may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies as described in our Cookies Policy.
Information from Third Parties
We generally do not obtain personal information about you from third parties unless you have authorized such disclosure or it is necessary to perform the Services (e.g., if a property manager or homeowner association provides your contact details to schedule landscape maintenance). If we receive information from third parties, we will use it in accordance with this Policy and any contractual restrictions applicable to that information.
How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes: to provide, schedule, and perform shrub trimming, tree pruning, hedge shaping, and related landscape care services at your property; to communicate with you regarding quotes, appointments, rescheduling, and service completion; to process payments and maintain records of transactions; to respond to your inquiries and provide customer support; to improve the Site and our Services, including by analyzing usage patterns and feedback; to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal process, or governmental requests; to enforce our Terms of Use and other agreements; to protect the rights, property, or safety of Spyxaronstaphis, our customers, or others; and for any other purpose disclosed to you at the time of collection or with your consent.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. Where we use your information for purposes that may be considered "targeting" or "cross-context behavioral advertising" under certain state laws, we will provide appropriate disclosures and, where required, obtain your consent.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where required by applicable law, we process your personal information on the basis of: your consent (e.g., when you agree to receive marketing communications or when you accept our Cookies Policy); the performance of a contract (e.g., to fulfill our agreement to provide shrub trimming or tree care services); our legitimate interests (e.g., to operate and improve the Site and Services, to prevent fraud, and to communicate with you about your appointments), provided such interests are not overridden by your rights; and compliance with legal obligations. You may have the right to withdraw consent or object to certain processing where applicable; see "Your Rights and Choices" below.
Sharing and Disclosure of Information
We may share your personal information in the following circumstances:

These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to perform the services and to protect your information in accordance with applicable law.
- Legal and safety: We may disclose your information when required by law, court order, subpoena, or governmental or regulatory request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, to investigate fraud, or to respond to an emergency.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same commitments in this Policy.

Data Security
We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures may include secure servers, encryption of data in transit where appropriate, access controls, and training of personnel who handle personal information.

Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide shrub trimming and tree care services, to comply with legal, tax, or accounting obligations (e.g., retention of transaction records for a period required by law), and to resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. When personal information is no longer needed for these purposes, we will securely delete or anonymize it so that it can no longer identify you, except where we are required or permitted to retain it by law.
