1. Introduction
Elite Mechanical Services LLC (“EMS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (myeliteservicesllc.com), contact us, or engage our professional appliance repair and maintenance services in Maryland.
This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use our website or book our services. Using the website is not treated as permission for optional analytics or advertising cookies. Those are used only if you allow them in our cookie banner (see Section 8).
2. Information We Collect
To provide reliable appliance repair and customer support, we collect the following information:
- A. Personal Information

- Identification or license numbers (for commercial vendor or contractor accounts, if applicable)
- B. Device, Usage, and Online Identifier Information

- IP address, cookie identifiers, and website analytics data (these can be personal information when they relate to an identifiable person or device)
- Referring website URLs or local search terms used to find our services

3. How We Collect Information
We collect information through various secure channels, including:
- Direct contact via phone, email, online booking forms, or in-person service requests
- Appliance diagnostic appointments, estimates, and repair orders
- Online payment portals and digital invoices
- Cookies, pixels, and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics), used for optional purposes only with your permission (see Section 8)

4. How We Use Your Information
Elite Mechanical Services LLC uses the collected information for clear business and customer service objectives:
- To schedule, manage, dispatch technicians for, and perform professional appliance repair and installation services.
- To process invoices, securely handle payments, and issue refunds.
- To communicate regarding your service appointments, diagnostic findings, repair updates, or promotional offers.
- To maintain internal business records, warranties, and compliance documentation.
- To improve service quality, technician training, and overall customer experience.
- To send occasional marketing updates or promotional materials (strictly with your consent).

5. How We Protect Your Information
We implement robust administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Secure, password-protected management systems and encrypted databases
- Strictly limited employee and technician access to sensitive personal data
- SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption across our website to protect data in transit
- Regular system monitoring and cybersecurity best practices
Note: While we take industry-standard precautions to secure your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
6. Information Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information for money. If you allow advertising cookies in our cookie banner, our advertising providers (Google, Meta, and OpenAI) receive online identifiers and information about your visit so we can measure and deliver our ads. Some privacy laws may treat this kind of disclosure as “sharing” or “targeted advertising.” You can keep it off or turn it off at any time (see Section 8). Otherwise, we share your information only when necessary to operate our business and fulfill your service requests, including:
- Service Partners or Subcontractors: Trusted technicians or specialists required to complete specialized appliance work (all bound by strict confidentiality agreements).
- Payment Processors: Secure third-party gateways used to process credit and debit card payments safely.
- Regulatory or Legal Authorities: When required to comply with applicable local, state, or federal laws, court orders, or insurance audits.
- Manufacturers and Suppliers: For appliance parts ordering, manufacturer warranties, recalls, or appliance verification.
- Marketing or IT Providers: Trusted digital and software vendors utilized strictly for internal operations and customer management, never for third-party resale.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes:
- Customer service and repair records: Up to 7 years
- Accounting and financial records: Up to 10 years (per IRS and Maryland state guidelines)
- Marketing communications data: Until you opt out or request data deletion
You may request the deletion of your personal data at any time (see Section 10).
8. Cookies & Online Tracking
Our website uses a cookie banner so you can choose which cookies and similar technologies we use. Necessary cookies are always active. Optional analytics and advertising cookies stay off unless you turn them on, and the related tools are not loaded before you make a choice. Scrolling, continuing to browse, or closing the notice is not treated as permission; if you close it without choosing, optional cookies stay off and a small Cookie settings button stays available.
Your choices
- Accept all: turns on analytics and advertising cookies.
- Reject optional: keeps analytics and advertising cookies off. The website, phone links, online booking, chat, and contact forms keep working.
- Manage preferences: lets you turn Analytics and Advertising on or off separately.
You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with this link: Cookie settings. The same link is at the bottom of every page. Your choice is saved in your browser for 180 days, after which we ask again. When you turn a category off, the page reloads, we stop loading those tools, and cookies stored by our website in your browser are cleared. We cannot delete information that was already sent to a provider while the category was on; for that, contact us or the provider.
Cookies we use
| Category | Cookie | Provider and purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | wpconsent_preferences | Our website (WPConsent). Remembers your cookie choice. | 180 days |
| Analytics | _ga, _ga_0D23FS6WWP | Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC). Counts visits and shows which pages are used. | Up to 400 days |
| Advertising | _gcl_au, _gcl_aw | Google Ads (Google LLC). Measures whether visits, calls, and bookings came from our ads. | 90 days |

Analytics (Google Analytics)
If you allow Analytics, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as the pages you view, the links you click (for example phone, booking, and chat links), your approximate location derived from your IP address, and your device and browser type. Google processes this information on our behalf and may also use it as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising measurement
If you allow Advertising, we load Google Ads, the Meta Pixel, and the OpenAI ads pixel. They receive online identifiers (such as cookie IDs and your IP address), the pages you visit, and actions such as tapping a phone link, opening the chat, clicking “Book Online,” or submitting a contact form. We use this to measure our ads and to show our ads to people who have visited our website. For visitors who arrive from one of our Google ads, the phone number shown on the site may be replaced with a Google forwarding number so that calls can be counted. These providers act under their own privacy policies: Google, Meta, and OpenAI.
Global Privacy Control (GPC)
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of advertising cookies and the related sharing of information with advertising providers. Advertising stays off on that browser even if you choose “Accept all.” The signal does not change your Analytics choice, which you control in Cookie settings.
Other services that load as part of the website
Some site features are provided by other companies and load without optional cookies. When they load, your browser connects to that company’s servers, which receive your IP address and browser details, and they handle information under their own privacy policies:
- Housecall Pro: the chat bubble and the online booking pages (book.housecallpro.com). Information you type into the chat or booking form is sent to Housecall Pro so we can respond and schedule service.
- Google Maps: the map on our Contact page.
- Better Business Bureau seal and Trustindex reviews widget: display our BBB accreditation and Google reviews; reviewer photos are loaded from Google’s servers.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; doing so may limit some features of the website.
9. Marketing Communications
By submitting your contact information to Elite Mechanical Services LLC, you may receive occasional service reminders, maintenance tips, special offers, or promotional updates. You can easily opt out of marketing communications at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link located at the bottom of our emails or by contacting us directly at info@myeliteservicesllc.com.
