Privacy Policy

The Short Version

Scott's H Plumbing does not sell your data. This website has no contact form, no newsletter signup, and no online booking, so we do not ask you to type your name, email address, or phone number into it. The only information collected automatically is standard website analytics through Google Analytics, described in detail below. If you call us, that is a phone call, and this policy does not govern it.

Who We Are

This website is operated by Scott's H Plumbing, 3885 Board Rd, York, PA 17406, telephone (717) 842-9770. In this policy, "we", "us", and "our" refer to Scott's H Plumbing. "You" refers to any visitor to scottshplumbingpa.com.

Information We Do Not Collect

Because this site has no forms of any kind, we do not collect through this website:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your postal address
• Your phone number
• Payment card or bank details
• Any account credentials, because there are no accounts

If a contact form, quote request, or booking tool is added to this site in future, this policy will be updated before that feature goes live.

Information Collected Automatically

We use Google Analytics (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how people find and use this site. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser and collects information including:

• Your IP address, which Google Analytics 4 anonymizes by default before storage
• The pages you view on this site and how long you spend on them
• The website or search engine that referred you here
• Your approximate geographic location, typically at city level, derived from your IP address
• Your device type, operating system, browser, and screen size

This information is aggregated. We use it to see which services people look for, which pages are useful, and whether the site works properly on the devices people actually use. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors from it, and we do not combine it with any other information.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser. This site sets cookies through Google Analytics only. There is no advertising cookie, no remarketing pixel, and no social media tracker on this site.

The Google Analytics cookies used are typically named _ga and _ga_<container-id>. They distinguish one visitor from another so that visit counts are accurate. They persist for up to two years unless you delete them.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so will not affect your ability to read anything on this site or to call us. You can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which stops Google Analytics from collecting data about you across every site that uses it.

Third Parties

Three third parties can receive data when you load a page on this site:

• Google Analytics receives the analytics data described above. Google's handling of it is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
• Google Fonts serves the typefaces used on this site. Loading a font sends your IP address to Google's servers.
• Google Maps supplies the map showing our location. Loading it sends your IP address to Google and may set Google cookies. The map is set to load lazily, so it usually loads only when you scroll near it.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your information with any other party for their own marketing purposes.

Do Not Track

Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no industry-wide agreement on how a website should respond to that signal. This site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. We disclose this because California law requires websites to state their practice, regardless of where the business is located.

Your Choices

You can browse this entire site without accepting cookies. The practical options available to you:

• Block or delete cookies in your browser settings
• Install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on linked above
• Use your browser's private or incognito mode, which discards cookies when you close the window
• Call us at (717) 842-9770 instead of using the site at all

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information a business holds about you. Because this site collects no directly identifying information, we typically hold nothing to retrieve or delete. If you would like to ask, contact us using the details below and we will respond as required by applicable law.

Data Retention

Google Analytics data is retained according to the retention period configured in our Google Analytics property. Google's default for GA4 is two months, and it can be set up to fourteen months. After that period, the underlying event data is deleted from Google's servers, though aggregate reports may persist.

Children

This site is intended for adults arranging plumbing and HVAC services for a property. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

This site is served over HTTPS, which encrypts the connection between your browser and the site. No website can promise perfect security, and we do not. Since this site collects no sensitive personal information, there is very little to expose.

Links To Other Sites

This site links out to other websites, including our Google Business Profile and, where relevant, utilities such as York Water Company or Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. Read their policies if it matters to you.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this policy if the site changes, for example if a contact form is added. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top. Material changes will be reflected here before the change takes effect.
