1. Introduction
THE RENOVA NET ("THE RENOVA NET," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through our website, forms, communications, and related services, how we use that information, when we may disclose it, how we protect it, and how you may contact us regarding your information.
THE RENOVA NET operates as a remodeling and construction lead-generation and referral service. We collect and qualify information about homeowners' project requests and may match those requests with contractors in our network.
THE RENOVA NET does not perform construction or remodeling work and does not act as the contractor for a project. Contractors in our network are independent businesses responsible for evaluating projects, providing estimates, negotiating terms, entering into contracts with homeowners, and performing the work.
2. Information We Collect About You
Depending on how you interact with THE RENOVA NET, we may collect information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be associated with you.

- Property Information includes the property address, ZIP code, property type, and other property or location information you provide in connection with a project request.
- Project Information includes the type of remodeling or construction project, project description, requested services, project scope, desired timing, preferences, budget information, and other information you voluntarily provide.

You should provide only information that is reasonably necessary for your project request and should not submit sensitive personal information unless specifically requested by THE RENOVA NET.
security Data Security
THE RENOVA NET uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and THE RENOVA NET cannot guarantee the absolute security of information.
3. How We Use Your Personal Information
THE RENOVA NET may use information collected from you for purposes including:
- Receiving, reviewing, qualifying, and organizing your remodeling or construction project request.
- Communicating with you about your request, including confirming or clarifying project information.
- Determining whether your request may be appropriate for referral through our contractor network.
- Identifying and matching your project request with one or more contractors whose services may be relevant to your project.
- Providing applicable contractors with information reasonably necessary to respond to your project request.
- Facilitating communication between you and an independent contractor following a referral.
- Operating, maintaining, securing, troubleshooting, and improving our website, systems, forms, and services.
- Preventing fraud, abuse, unauthorized activity, and security incidents.
- Maintaining business records and complying with applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and other obligations.
- Enforcing our Terms of Service and protecting the rights, property, and safety of THE RENOVA NET, our users, contractors, and others.
THE RENOVA NET does not provide construction estimates, negotiate construction contracts, perform remodeling work, or control the price, scope, schedule, workmanship, or other terms of a contractor's services.
4. When We Share Your Personal Information
THE RENOVA NET may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to operate our business and provide the services described in this Privacy Policy.
- Contractors in Our Network. When you submit a project request, THE RENOVA NET may provide relevant information to one or more independent contractors selected or matched through our network so that the contractor can contact you regarding your requested project. Information provided may include your name, contact information, property information, project information, and other information reasonably necessary for the contractor to evaluate and respond to your request.
- Third-Party Service Providers. THE RENOVA NET may use trusted third-party service providers to support website hosting, data storage, information processing, communications, security, analytics, automation, and other business functions. These providers may process or store personal information on THE RENOVA NET's behalf as necessary to provide the services for which they are engaged.
- Legal and Safety Disclosures. THE RENOVA NET may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, legal process, governmental requests, court orders, or other legal obligations, or when reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud, abuse, security incidents, or other unlawful activity or to protect the rights, property, or safety of THE RENOVA NET, our users, contractors, or others.
- Business Transfers. Personal information may be transferred as part of an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, subject to applicable law.
THE RENOVA NET does not sell homeowner personal information as a standalone data product. A referral of information to an independent contractor for the purpose of responding to a project request submitted by you is part of THE RENOVA NET's lead-generation and referral service.
5. Contractors Are Independent Businesses
Contractors receiving leads from THE RENOVA NET are independent businesses. THE RENOVA NET may review or qualify contractor information for participation in its network, but a referral does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, certification, or representation that a contractor will perform any particular work or enter into a contract with you.
After a referral, communications concerning estimates, pricing, contracts, scheduling, permits, construction, workmanship, warranties, payment, and completion of the project are between you and the independent contractor.
THE RENOVA NET is not a party to the construction agreement between a homeowner and contractor and does not control or direct the contractor's performance.
6. Third-Party Service Providers
THE RENOVA NET may use third-party technology and service providers to operate and support its systems. These providers may provide services including website hosting, database and cloud storage, data processing, form processing, communications, automation, security, analytics, and other technical or administrative functions.
Personal information may therefore be stored or processed through systems operated by third-party service providers engaged by THE RENOVA NET.
THE RENOVA NET may modify, replace, or add service providers as its technology infrastructure and business operations develop. The categories of service providers described in this section may therefore change over time.
7. Cookies and Technical Information
THE RENOVA NET and its third-party service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, logs, or similar technologies where necessary to operate the website, maintain security, remember preferences, understand website usage, and improve website functionality.
Technical information collected through these technologies may include IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, pages viewed, timestamps, and similar information.
8. Data Retention
THE RENOVA NET retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
This may include providing and administering lead-generation and referral services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud or abuse, enforcing agreements, and complying with legal or regulatory obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the project request, operational requirements, applicable legal obligations, and whether the information remains necessary for an ongoing business or legal purpose.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, THE RENOVA NET may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it in accordance with applicable retention practices and legal requirements.
